Miniature plug-and-play recreation of the original PlayStation with 20 built-in games and HDMI output, running PCSX ReARMed on a Linux-based platform.

The Sony PlayStation Classic (model SCPH-1000R) is a miniature, plug-and-play recreation of the original PlayStation, released in 2018 as part of the wave of mini/classic consoles. Instead of original hardware, it relies on an ARM-based platform running a custom Linux system with the PCSX ReARMed emulator. It ships with 20 built-in games ready to play.

Under the hood sits a MediaTek MT8167a with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A35 CPU at 1.5 GHz, paired with 1 GB of DDR3 RAM. This is a modest configuration by today's standards, but it is tailored to a single goal: emulating the original PlayStation through PCSX ReARMed. The console focuses on that one system rather than on broad multi-platform emulation.

As a home console, the PlayStation Classic has no built-in screen. Video is delivered over HDMI, so it connects directly to a modern TV or monitor. There is no need for adapters for older analogue inputs.

The form factor is a compact console designed to sit next to the TV, echoing the look of the original machine in miniature. Thanks to its plug-and-play concept, there is nothing to configure and no games to load before you start playing.

There is no battery, and the console is powered via micro-USB. HDMI is the only other port listed. Storage consists of 16 GB of internal eMMC flash, which holds the system and the bundled game library.

On the software side, everything runs on a custom Linux build with PCSX ReARMed as the emulation core. The experience is built around the 20 preinstalled titles, presented as a ready-made collection rather than an open platform.

Ideal for: fans of the original PlayStation who want a simple, nostalgic way to revisit classic games on a modern TV over HDMI. It also suits collectors of mini/classic consoles who prefer a plug-and-play experience with no setup required.
