The PlayStation is such an awesome console. I can't get enough of those polygons.
It’s PS1 what’s not to love
What I love about Playstation consoles is how much hidden gems there are to discover. Like with the N64 for the most part you know which games to get, Saturn more or less the same (granted they had smaller game libraries especially outside Japan). Still, it's fun to dig through the PS1 catalog and find weird niche games that no one ever mentions. This also stands for the PS2 and to a lesser degree the PS3. By the time the PS4 arrived I think platforms like Steam made finding weird titles more of a PC thing.
Ps1 games are good but there are games that are on the Ps1 but also ps2 are the ps2 versions better or not
Yeah. I love old school, blocky, pixelated polys. Flat shaded to textured.
@@thomashoekstra2933 ps1 always beats ps2, Tomb Raider, FF, Metal Gear Solid, always better on ps1
What i love about these videos the content is straight to the point. No long un-needed intros etc. Love how everyone featured on MJR seem genuinely nice down to earth people. Keep up the great work guys.
Agreed, there is a sense of authenticity in these video's and that makes it nice to watch. MJR also doesnt think he is more important than his content. The likability factor is genuine here.
@thecouchtripper get a life kid i was complementing the content of the channel which you clearly have a problem with. Your comment is irrelevant.
@@SinisterMud 100% mate
I feel like I read similar comments in every Metal Jesus Rocks video... which speaks to the consistency of the channel!
@@evshrug do you really feel?

I can't assign the Game at 11:40 . Can anyone help me?
Hey, have you reviewed the Carby for the nintendo gamecube? I got one off ebay yesterday, complete in box.
Would've got it off their site, but it was glitchy as fuck. (Price was 80 dollars, but the checkout page was charging me 150, 130, 200, just changing at random, without me changing anything in my cart
The ps3 is not emulating the ps1 or the ps2. Think about what it takes to emulate the ps2? Sony invented the hardware they have the chips. It's just more cost-effective for them to do it with real hardware. I don't say this to shame you. It would be a shame if someone spent the $$ on an expensive mod when they didn't have to.
@Retro Dave
Yes. I 100% agree.
Hey, I would love for you to put the names onscreen when you show a game. This list is nice, but matching the shown footage with the right name when you have no clue what games you are seeing is really tedious. Maybe add them as annotations?
The video itself was great as always :)
Legend of Dragoon is definitely one of my favourite PS1 games.
To bad Sony has condemned it to the attic, to never be looked at again.
One of my top favourites of all time . Wish it got a sequel or remaster
Never got to play it when I was younger, but just picked it up the original game a few days ago.
@@latt.qcd9221 it's like a final fantasy but it's lacking a world map sorta. Where it shines is it's off the wall story and characters.
My favourite PS1 games will always be the original Spyro trilogy, but they're my favourite games of all time overall, the PS1 had SOOOOO many amazing games though, my favourite console of all time.
Great video i really like how you explain all the details and products available for older consoles. Thanks for all the hard work that you put into your videos! 💪🏼👍
Thanks so much! It's tricky to get all of the technical details right AND be somewhat entertaining (at least that's the goal). Have a great weekend! 😎
I've been watching your channel for a long time now, I love your videos. Only NOW did I just notice you took the care to list all the games shown in the order shown. Props
I've been away from internet for like 4 days, and couldn't wait to come back just to watch one more video of yours!
You're the best!
great to see the comparisons - going digital!
Incredible! I've been waiting for this to happen so I can get back into my PS1 gaming!
Nice choices of games shown in the video too!
@Falcom Scott Yea man! My highest gaming point in life was with the PS1 actually, and I rarely play it as of today sadly.
Thanks! I tried to mix up the games a bit for this one. Definitely been a fun week of capturing gameplay!
@@MetalJesusRocks I can imagine that, Jason! You got me all hyped up to play Gunner's Heaven, Metal Slug and Tony Hawk now :D
@@MetalJesusRocks hi this is totally off subject, but i dont know how to send messages in youtube, your a well connected guy in the gaming comunity, and ince worked for Sierra, can you start a campaign for Someone to do a modern remake of the amiga monkey island games, an over the shoulder or first person aventure with today graphics engines would be awsome. If it followed exactly the same plot and locations of that game. The wiiware version looked a bit crappy. Thanks keep up the good work, nice Chanel.
Thanks for being awesome MJR AND CREW. I’m so depressed but this ch (and friends) mean a lot.
I’ve been wanting to play my diablo 1 ps1 disc... 🤓
I’ve been watching mjr for along time now !! Most definitely one of my favorite channels. Seems like a super chill dude . Would love to talk games with him lol but this mod is definitely sick
That clear blue is gorgeous. Also you showed megaman x4 - I was playing it this morning lol
•Talks about D-filtering when DOA footage pops up.
Not that it was intentional.
Love watching ur videos got me into collecting all the old games I used to play. Keep up the great work.
Great video thanks. I’ve been thinking about doing the install but seeing this compared to the other solutions helped me to decide.
It's unfortunate that this generation of games seems to get a lot of hate lately. The PS1 and N64 contain some of my all-time favorite games, even considering they were just figuring out how to make games in 3D.
Why hate and from whom?
Truth be told, in terms of 3D graphics is not spectacular because it was the first real 3D generation. But still, this is not the only variable in reviewing a game.
@@Deinorius I won't say any names, but the critics are out there. The arguments typically compare 16-bit games to this generation, stating that those games aged much better. I disagree, but it's totally subjective.
Just one example, I've heard the same detractors love the Crash Bandicoot remakes and say that they can never go back to the original games, but there's nothing wrong with the originals and they are completely playable today. The remakes are nice, but they aren't a replacement for the originals, IMO.
Hate from whom?
@Winchester-BornIn1973 Those assholes hate everything.
Hate from who? This is one of the most beloved generations of gaming. I'm not saying you're making it up, but...
A little pricey, I’ll stick with my hd retrovision cables for now but I’m glad this is available, these systems need a good futureproofing
Looks fantastic! I'm so glad they added customisable scanlines too! I just wish there was some time of filtering to go with the scanlines, just to soften the image a bit so the pixels blend better, that would be amazing. I don't know if we were meant to see the pixels this sharp but I DO want to start with that level of sharpness and then soften it, rather than have it done via crap upscaling/bad bilinear filtering like the RAD2X.
This is really helpful video! The gameplay looks so crisp. When I'm ready to drop some loot on this, the ps1 digital is what I'll go for. Thanks for this!
Just a warning here that this totally voids the manufacturer's warranty.
I made the same mistake with my Atari 2600 this morning :)
@@davidste60 did you throw it in the garbage?
😂
Yeah I did that to my Fairchild Channel f
Ah crap! Lol.
I love Dragon's Hoard gaming for all my projects to be assembled also. Great service. Great quality. Great communication.
Yeah, he does some great work and I like how he shares it on his Twitter account. He sometimes does some crazy cool installs!
Wow this is so cool , thanks so much for this review . Avid viewer of your channel for last 5 yrs .
if you can choose what scaling method is used when you enlarge the lower resolution footage in your editing software, you want to use "nearest-neighbor", that way the footage stays just as crisp and pixely as the original
I dig the case, because you know, the 90s was transparent hardware! And playing games from all regions looks sweet! (Though I'm not a fan of digital scanlines and prefer RGB on a CRT) The HDMI seems great quality!
How badass s his Playstation?!
+1 for ending the video on Pepsi Man!
You always do such an amazing job running comparisons - even factoring in the PS3!
I am blown away with how fantastic that video output is from that modded PS1 though! Great video, MJR! 🤟
Glad you enjoyed it!
Moto Racer as a choice of demo for both audio and video was absolutely perfect. That game has an amazing sound design and the super fast racing style demos well.
As soon as these are back in stock, I am ordering one!
It must have been hard for the PlayStation designers back in the day.
_Ok, we have a super fantastic gaming beast! Now let's convert everything to analog because no one has the right equipment for digital signals..._
And for the incompetent ones it was a blessing.
@@a-dutch-z7351 incompetent??
@@nriab23 Yeah you think that there were no incompetent developers?
@championchap It camouflaged some of their deficiencies, so you could lower your standards, lower the resolution of textures etc. Quicker to market. Easier money.
@@a-dutch-z7351 95% of gaming producers/designers are for sure incompetent and lazy. Thats why there are so damn many copy/paste games out there, rereleasing the same game over and over and over again. Still there are the 5% who alone are making the gaming industry worth playing and evolving the industry.
Still hanging on to my crt’s till they crap out. Lol.
NOTHING compares to CRT Gaming!
Same I hope they last another 20 years at least
They'll have to pry my 19" Trinitron from my COLD, DEAD HANDS!
use this hdmi -> vga -> crt monitor for the best gaming ever.
consumer crt has it's charm and distinct look that ps1 benefits from regardless of input quality. the better you start from the less blur and color bleeding
scikoolaid Never thought of that!
Awesome video MJR! Superb job on the comparisons. Thank you.
You are such an inspiration man 😉 I ordered 2 original PlayStation s video cords, a switcher for them and a retrotink pro just to get the best out of my PS1 and 2. Waiting for it to all arrive can't wait ☺️
I didn't get a preview unit... that's OK though as I will happily buy this mod. The DC Digital is insanely good and this looks amazing. I can't wait to play Symphony of the Night or Castlevania Chronicles. The un-dithered mods for those games remove the dithering and man it's gonna look incredible! Also gonna get an XStation. In fact I had to pick up a new PS1 just for these mods. I already have 2 PS1s, but one won't work with the PS Digital and the other won't work with the XStation.
no replys lol
SCPH-5501s are top tier for modding Joe
@@RallyLancer95 So im not top tier, rude
I guess it was too expensive for Sony to give us something like that on the Classic mini.
Hey MJR, last night I watched the movie Black Roses being an 80s metal fan I loved it. Can't get more metal than that
That would of bin nice
The classic mini is a emulator, so they really can't give you something like that. They would have to basically redesign the PS1 to have a native hdmi output and basically restart the PS1 production again... no one will pay $2500 (I'm guessing low here) for that.
Black Roses is awesome-there are plenty of heavy metal horror movies you should check out as well if you liked that one such as Trick or Treat with Ozzy and Gene Simmons and Rock n' Roll Nightmare (Edge of Hell)
@@cinemaslayerreviews4130 yeah I watched those two but Black Roses is my favourite
I mean, the PlayStation Classic (PSC, I like abbreviations) has HDMI, with great color, sharpness, and clean digital audio output. The 720p comes more from a hardware limitation of the Amazon Fire TV system-on-a-chip inside (not literally, but an equivalent SoaC), the lower resolution allows the games to perform smoother. Considering the original resolutions of these games, the PSC looks great 👍 I like my PSC, but I would have traded a few of the games around for a few of the more iconic or hard to get games like Nintendo and Sega did.
These vids rock, and help me out a ton with tech know how and Gabe suggestions. Plus they're fun entertainment.
I've always preferred scan lines when playing retro games because it cleans up the image and those rough edges don't hurt the eyes so much...
Yep. That output is simply amazing. Pixel perfect 👌!
7:22 👌
Word.
Looks amazing! But 160 is a bit steep for me. I’ll stick to my ps3 and honestly that’s good enough for me.
Oh man! This is the exact mod I was interested in doing to my ps1. Stoked for this!
Thanks for sharing! This won't be for me but I'm always amazed with what people come up with
Still my favorite console of all time! Much love to PlayStation 1. ❤️
The quality looks top notch, but the $160 makes me stick with my PS3. but never know might be a fun project down the road. especially if there is any price drop.
Thanks for listing the games shown!
You bet!
love that case! Goes well with the OEM crystal blue DS2 which I owned 😁
I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it...!!!
@f8talh8red It must be a sad existence to have nothing better to do than hang out and shit on people for the things they get excited about.
I use my OSSC and Ps1 with Rgb Scart
Wow!! Amazing to know that there is so much variety for those interested in maximizing older consoles!! This is awesome
Glad you enjoyed!
Great video as always, side note, you should checkout the Eiyuden Chronicles Kickstarter, original suikoden makers are creating it
I really need to get a rad2x cable for my ps1
I'm wondering if I can actually get the kit without being forced into some weird mail in process to have them install it like with the UltraHDMI kits. I was very disappointed when I saw that on their site. I could do the soldering portion of these mods in about 10 minutes. I don't need their help lol.
Don't get me wrong though. This is definitely advanced stuff; I've just been doing stuff like this for years at work.
Edit: Looks like I _can_ get it as a kit. Hell yeah brother! I'll get one as soon as they're in stock 💚
I dont remember you ever being forced to have an installer do the work for you. Usually you have to order the kit itself and then if you cant install it yourself you send your console along with the mod chip to an installer.
@@ians_parks It's been a couple months since I looked, so maybe they've changed that policy, but I remember there being no DIY option which is why I'm looking into other options. Though I'll admit I haven't been looking quite as hard since I discovered the native DirectX port of Super Mario 64 lol
@@Sun-ut9gr Yeah this is definitely the first im hearing of any non diy option. What vendor were you purchasing the mod chip from?
@@ians_parks I believe it was this link actually: www.badassconsoles.com/ultrahdmi/
Apparently I bookmarked it lol. I'm not really sure where to get it tbh, but I definitely don't trust this place.
Picture is even better then my PS3, impressive. Can't believe how far these go. Thanks for these video. ;)
Great video as always.the ps1 looks amazing with that mod!(tony hawks music playing in my head).🤘
You and me both! That THPS2 soundtrack is legendary!
There's always to going to be a lizardperson from another dimension who wants these 4:3 games stretched to 16:9 OR ELSE..
100% true
There are widescreen codes for the cheat discs or rom hacks that bake in true anamorphic widescreen for 3d games and some 2D (changes camera properties to squeeze wider field of view within original 4:3 rendering window, then corrects geometry when you stretch signal to 16:9 tv). It is epic and makes unplayable games playable. Zombie Revenge on Dreamcast for example. Garbage game became playable with a widescreen code because you can actually see the enemies and the environment around you
160 dollars? Bit expensive. Well it seems to be sold out as well, so one reason more not to upgrade :)
160 dollars is pretty cheap for something this good though paying someone else to install it can be expensive.
The quality is unbelievable, for what it is I wouldn't say it's expensive
@@TheGunmanChannel the game around 07:22 lost details on the clouds, the right footage is too bright (clouds).
its not released yet. 1st batch order is in September.
160? I don't know about compability itself, but i got a used PS3 slim for 90€ and it runs flawlessly my CD and Digital PSN games.
Im seeing this is more for hardcore PS1 fans.
You sir are a LEGEND. All of your videos are awesome. Big up from the UK
Wow, thanks!
WOOW! What a beauty! Congrats Jason 👍
I'm satisfied with using my ps3 for ps1 games but this does look really nice. I'd rather spend money on the new ps1 ODE if I was gonna do a mod
What is o d e
@@waltersobchak7275 optical disk (or drive) emulator. Like the GDemu or fenrir. Replaces the disc drive and plays games from an SD card
@@deniskenn you're a lifesaver thanks bro
@@deniskenn Where do you get the ode?
John Ston castlemania games. Not available yet.
I realy dont understand why retrogamer try to mess up with new Tvs or Flatscreens. When i got my Loewe CRT i was sooooo glad to get rid of the shitty INPUTLAG from new Monitors.
Especially with Racinggames its such a different gameplay.
I would never prefer a better resolution to no inputlag.
Actually it looks WAY BETTER on CRT screen because IT WAY THE WAY IT MEANT TO BE! All games was drawn with interlaced CRT picture in mind, and actually ps1digital ruin it :)
that case! only thing missing on mine, got my xStation and PS1Digital and installed everything myself, that was almost as fun as using it! Love it!
Thanks for the cool video MJR one of the few that I was able to tell the difference in quality.
Glad to help
I was interested in doing this before I heard "$160". I got a used PS3 on ebay a few years ago for $40 + shipping and that has great PS1 emulation with hdmi supported. I ain't spending $160 for an PS1 hdmi mod.
Besides, the mod is too risky , only people who have advanced skills in soldering can do it .$160 , not to mention what you'll spend in buying the tools
I don’t know man there’s something cool about the original aesthetics of the ps1 on an old CRT tv. Making that HD just takes that away for me.
I know what you mean. I'm split on this, I like some games in HD and some in old school CRT.
This solution is only for people that use HDTV. I cannot imagine someone who owns CRT TV and PS1 interested in this. Whole charm is this glow of phosphorus, softness of screen, real scanlines... Me personally as long as my CRTs are still alive will stick with pre HD consoles only on them bulky, fuzzy, screens :)
Eh.. 🤷🏻♂️ I just love the graphics themselves, not how they look on old TV's, it's the actual low poly pixilated graphical style that I adore.
So personally I just play my PS1 games on PC at 4K, especially since you can play your original PS1 discs on PC's too.
MechaMinilla99 at that point your just playing PC though, not my style but to each their own.
This is really the best I have seen thus far. Very pretty and beautiful!!! Thanks Metal Jesus!!!
I love That Color.💯 and grew up on the PSI
At that price, I'd rather buy the RetroTINK 2x.
I wanted a comparison, he just compared with Rad2x...
Just use a PS3
Liking scanlines is an early warning sign that a person might be a serial killer.
Love these vids. Nice & simple
Looks AMAZING. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching!
The main problem is how to play lightgun games?!
Theirs a solution the gun is about 100 bucks
Nice. ESP8266 (the little controller + wireless on this board) is amazing and I love all of the crazy stuff this chip has given us. Well, It could be its brother the ESP32. The soldering looks easy too so I think I'm going to order this
Huge ps1 fan i used to have one but it died on me then i kinda stopped playing on playstation and just about 1 year ago i bought a modded ps3 now i emulate ps1 on it and im happy with the it playing on a flat screen still looks good
This mod does look good tho!
Nice content metaljesusrocks!
Another informative and interesting video thanks MJR
Great video Jason! Always enjoy your videos my friend!
Awesome thank you!
Amazing video and review also definitely worth it! Especially if u find someone to do for the low. I'm hardcore
Great video mate
Great video! I can see how major PS1 fans would want this solution. I was like that with the Dreamcast, so I got a modded console with DCHDMI. However, with the PS1 I just don't have the same nostalgia because I didn't own one growing up when it was on the market. So for me, my PS3 (1st generation) will do just fine for playing PS1 games
Fantastic video! Great work!
Thanks a lot!
HOLY GAWD!!! That looks amazing. I pretty much dismissed old consoles once I switched to HDTV and they looked awful. This brings a whole new light to older systems. WOW!!
Looks amazing! I love it!
Thank you!
Great video, many thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
I been watching this channel since I was 16 I’m 22 now I will always have love for this channel
Hey MetalJesusRocks you rock keep up the awesome cool videos on RUclips
Thank you for yet another great video. Really enjoying your content.
Thanks for watching!
Loved this blue case!!
I'm digging my small form factor PC at the moment - I can use original discs for PS1, PS2, and Dreamcast. With some work, it's been awesome seeing how good these games can look.
Hi Jason, your videos are awesome, keep up the great work. Because of your reviews on these I want the best of the best for my DC with the DCHDMI. The PS1Digital looks awesome and well worth the money for the quality you are getting.
Glad you like them!
Nice! I just got the carby V2 HDMI adapter for my Gamecube, hope it's worth the price lol
Great video and everything was explained
cool Mr mj . nice ps1 housing. very 90s I remember transparent toys ang gadgets during does time.
Haha I had to laugh. That point where you mentioned that you can still use the regular video output a commercial poped in and the audio went "... technically you can still use... organic hops"
just tekken2 in your intro make my day
Looks great... I used to chip the PS1's and PS2's back in the day. Flashed the Xbxo360's too. Never done anything on any of the newer consoles though.
I'm not really interested in getting this but I love to hear you talk ps1 👍
The picture quality is really jaw-dropping! For the moment i stay with my PS3 and i'm fine with it :-)
Macho nacho did a ps1 mod ,similar to this, but also replaced link cable with wireless, and replace the cd drive with a sd port.
An amazingly complex build, but, it really looks nice
Great video
2:38 I thought he was gonna say it does NOT void your warranty. 🤣
Im so happy you showed off rollcage stage 2 super underrated in my opinion
I really love playing that game. The frame rate is a little low on PS1, but the crazy gameplay and surprisingly great graphics are top notch!
@@MetalJesusRocks ok first wow i didn't expect a response rock on!! second i know what you mean!! the new game grip it definitely holds up to the classic!
God, what a difference such a thing can make.
