1) What is the Sony PlayStation ?
The Sony Playstation, aka PS-X, is the initial video gaming console by electronics giant, the Sony Corporation of Japan. It has admittedly been in development since 1993 - remember the SNES CD? Development included both working with LSI Logic Corp.,Milpitas,CA and creating a video game/electronic media department, known as the Sony Computer Entertainment of Japan (SCE).
The PlayStation is the initial hardware entry by the Sony Corp. into the video gaming arena. Anticipation of the PlayStation was high, as well as its expected retail success which proved to be some 300000 units up until March 1995.
The PlayStation is set to compete against the 'next generation' of consoles, which include:
3DO, 3DO M2, Sega 32X, Sega Saturn, Atari Jaguar, Atari Jaguar II (whenever it DOES arrive),
Atari Jaguar CD, Nintendo Ultra 64 and the rumored Amiga PA-RISC system.
Technically, the PlayStation is a 32-bit RISC, CD-ROM/XA2 based video game console. The PlayStation is capable of spectacular graphic effects that include:
- High volume of texture-mapped polygons
- Incredible sprite renditions
- Hardware tri-axial rotation
- Gouraud shading
And much more...
Although 3D is seemingly stressed in the majority of the scheduled games, there is a built-in sprite engine.
Also, instead of having on board RAM for saving game positions and games; Sony Corp. opted for a 'Neo-Geoish' option utilizing separate memory cards.

6) How to make your own rgb-cable (scart)
While waiting for the real RGB-Scart-cable to come out or reach your store you can make one of your own in the meantime.
Here are the schematics you'll need.

7) Will the European,American and Japanese PlayStation be compatible ?
The answer to this question is currently unknown. Sony, and Sega, announced that there will be territorial lock-outs implemented on the Sony Playstation (and Sega Saturn). However, it has been stated from several independent sources both within SCE and other developers that there will be no lock-outs whatsoever. On the other hand official european Sony sources have stated that the developers have demanded territorial lockout and therefore it has been implemented. It is safe to say though that no-one will know for sure until the European and US PlayStation versions are out.
8) How to use an PSX GAMES COPY!
Open the cover and go into music player mode.
Insert any of your originals, and put a pin or small screwdriver into the hole on the top right hand corner.
This will make the machine thinks the door is closed and the disc will turn for 1 second and automatically download the passcode from the disc. Then it stops. Change disc to the replicate one and exit music-player mode.
Game loads automatically.
You must let something in the hole during all the party!
9) How to hardwire a Sony Playstation for pirate gold disc cds
Special Tanx to 2TUFF.
This textfile simply explains how to add a switch to your Playstation. This will then allow you to easily play gold disc's on a bog standard PSX not a √∫12,000 Blue PSX haha.
If you've read the textfile from BamBam in Holland then you will know what im talking about.
I received a gold disc today and tried it, the method worked but it was a real pain in the ass! The object on the switch would have to be fairly weighty otherwise anything else was an incredible pain.
I had a switch I removed from an old Filmnet/Sky decoder scart cable.
I decided to use this switch for this little project.
Anyway I got it to work first time and the result is:-
- 100% working
- Lid may be closed again whilst playing (even better)
- 100% hassle free
Apparatus
- 1 * SWITCH (LEFT/RIGHT)
- 2 * WIRES (ANY COLOR, I USED RIBBON CABLE)
- 1 * SOLDERING IRON (I USED A HOT NORMAL 25WATT ONE)
- * PIECE OF SOLDER [pref LOW-MELT POINT] (NOT MUCH)
Instructions
WIRE :
Get your 2 pieces of wire and cut them to around 6-7 inches long strip and tin both ends of the 2 wires. Snip the tinned ends so they ain't too big (especially the end you decide will be for PSX).
*READ [SWITCH :]*
SWITCH :
Okay the switch I had, had the following information on it:-

I don't know much about switches unfortunately haha! Anyway it was a 6 pole switch i.e :-
1o o o @ Solder one of your wires to the TOP MIDDLE pin
------- of switch.
o o o @ Solder the other to the TOP RIGHT pin of switc
PLAYSTATION :
- Open your Sony Playstation by removing the 5 black screws underneath.
* NOTICE WHERE THE CD ACTIVE SWITCH IS! (WHERE THE CIRCLE IN CASING IS) *
- Remove all gold screws from the shielding etc (a fair few).
- Take CD Drive off the top and lean to the left on power area.
- Place Joyport section in front of machine on floor (still connected)
[If the connector comes out just glenty force it back down the right way, there is no lift up and push on this connector] - Lean the shielding over to the left as well with CD Drive carefully.
- Look at the little black micro switch, where the circle shield was.
* It has 4 legs altogether, 2 on the left under each other, and the same on the right * [D O N T W O R R Y] - Quicky add a very small amount of solder to the 2 right legs.
* Do this very quickly, but make sure its a nice bond. DO NOT leave the iron on the legs for more than 2 secs. * - Give the legs time to cool down
- Solder one wire of the switch to the one leg on the right.
- Solder the other wire of the switch to the other leg on the right.
I E :-
___
--| o |-- ------- Wire one -> switch TOP MIDDLE
--|___|-- ------- Wire two -> switch TOP RIGHT - Locate where you want the switch to be.
* This is a sworish point, I thought by the A/C In port but it turned out my switch collided with this port.
In the end I've got my switch sticking up on the TOP of the machine. My switch is located 2.2cm away from the back and in the middle of the expansion port with the plastic flap! - put everything back together and before you put it totally back together, test it first [BE CAREFUL].
If its ok put it back together and enjoy!
CONCLUSION :
- If the switch is in the one position your Playstation is as normal.
- If the switch is in the other position your Playstation will act in the method needed to use gold disc's
[REFER TO BAMBAM'S TEXT] - No need to have CD lip open whilst playing now.
This will be even better as NO light can enter as wanted by SONY etc etc. - No hassle with an object coming off the button and crashing you game (its a bastard thats why I did this SO FASSSSSSSST).
