Hands-On With Sony's PSX Operating System

Posted by simoniker on Thursday October 9, 2003 @12:41AM from the very-iconic dept.

MMaestro writes "GameSpot has a hands-on report after using the OS for Sony's new PSX 'digital media hub'. They report that the OS is actually easy to use, although the real test will probably come when Joe Average tries one out himself. On a side note, for those who would like to use the built-in DVD-R drive, GameSpot reports: 'Not only does the console lack the ability to record MP3s, but it's not compatible with AVI or VCD formats either.' So for all you console hackers out there, here is one more thing to look forward to cracking." GameSpot has a screenshot of the new menu system, and Watch Impress' earlier pictures included two others, for the curious.

Screw MP3s, does it do Vorbis? by pecosdave · 2003-10-09 00:49 · Score: 3, Insightful

And will the Linux kit work? if that works it should play any format you want it to.

  I strongly doubt that the linux kit will work. Besides, wasn't the jist of the linux kit the hard drive? The PSX already has one built it.
  
  I don't think this'll be modded nearly as much as the articles suggests.
  This isn't messing with a $199 PS2, We've got a $500+ piece of equipment here. I'd be awful nervous to go soldering away in there.
