My Ouya does the trick quite nicely. Running the Android version of MAME and a few system emus up to PS1 era (haven't actually tried running that one yet, no isos... and I actually still own a PS2 to run my discs on, so no need). Mostly roms I got I've had for years since I got into emulation nearly 2 decades ago.

Between xbmc and emulation, I'm glad I tossed the $100 at it that I did. There are some system games that aren't that bad either.

If you have a PS2, you don't need a PS1 emulator. You can just play PS1 games on it. Unless you don't have any, in which case find some you're interested in at your local game shop. I'm sure they've got plenty of bargains on great PS1 games.

I know. It was more of commentary on not knowing the quality of emulation ability of the Ouya on PS1 or later systems because I havent used them- in part because I dont need to. I have quite a library of systems and games still, but the question was about emulators. I'm sure if voncouch wanted to go buy old systems off eBay or a pawn shop, he could do so.

The question at hand was a cheap gaming rig attachable to a tv for emulation. I was offerimg an out the box suggestion that is working for me as opposed to buying an old pc, finding a controller, and dicking around with intergrated sound or video cards to plug it to the tv. I dont know how "classic" he wanted to go, but I occasionally revisit things from 2600 era to the Sega Genesis and some MAMEable cabinet stuff I remember from my youth. The hundred I dropped on that little box, to me, was even worth it for the emulation alone.

Besides, its better to just find a PS1, because I've had to adjust the laser in my PS2 so many times I never bothered putting the screws back in when it stops reading certain discs (it will slide out of focus and stop reading one of the 3 PS2 types or not read PS1 black at all, and its a crap shoot). Its a pain in the ass when it needs fixed.
