What, like this (warning: GameSpy link - don't click any ads)? BTW, he's made MANY 2600 handhelds, and the occasional NES and SNES handheld.

PSX Review At Lik-Sang
·
· Score: 4, Informative
I know. Here's the summary of the models:
PlayStation (PS): Super Nintendo with a CD drive. 200 made, and no known CD games. PlayStation X (PSX): The PlayStation as we know it. PlayStation One (PSone): Original PSX, just in a smaller form factor. PlayStation 2 (PS2): The PS2 - how hard does it get? PlayStation X (PSX) (version 2): A PS2 with a built in TiVo and DVD burner. And a confusing name, to boot.
The PS2 Linux kit is a BITCH to get working on a TV - you have to press all sorts of "cheat codes" (at least they're public) to be passed to the kernel, and it'll go into TV mode, and then you have to muck about with XFree86 config files to get IT to output to the TV. So, it'll be going to a monitor. The only problem is that no games support the monitor cable - they need the TV cable...
Offtopic, but is there a cheap reverse VGA box? For watching (say) DVDs on the TV, from the PC? Also, if he has a laptop, a PCI card (or VGA box) is out of the question.
Try running Memtest86 on something like that. It might be the RAM, as Windows handles RAM differently from Linux, and can hit bad parts sooner than Linux (and vice versa).
I know - I didn't have one handy, and needed it quick. Actually, I found an AT keyboard that I could borrow for long enough to install Debian and get SSH on (I'm just trying out Debian - this is a server). BTW, Damn Small Linux works GREAT on this old hardware...
Except, because of the way it works, a popup blocker has no effect, unless it blocks ALL popups (possible in Opera, but not in Moz), or JavaScript is disabled (I can do that like *that* in Opera, but Moz? No.
I should know - I looked at the code. What it is is simple on-mouseovers, and window movers. However, it is designed to be REALLY evil on Internet Explorer - it hides all titlebars, and pops up a window with a different window mover script that only works on IE, with a flash animation that says "You are an idiot, ha ha ha ha ha ha" in an infinite loop".
Well, if there were a button to press, that detracts from the overall user experience, in which there should be approximately 106 buttons - the power button, the mouse, and a 104 key keyboard (approx).
Actually, I did like that Apple floppy drives ejected their disks automatically, and that they recognized new disks. That's IT.
What about being in a wreck? I don't think that'll work very well, the C54WAY protocol. You wouldn't be calling it, you'd be calling from it. And, as some people have already said, if your head goes through the window, you're probably not in a state to be calling 911.
AUGH! DAMN! It's keyboard is AT, I bought an AT keyboard at Goodwill for $3, and it's a dud. All my other keyboards are PS/2, and I don't have a soldering iron. Will wrapping wires around each pin, and then sticking them in the holes work?
Nope - one of my relatives had a Pentium MMX-233 with a "dead power supply" (turned out to be a bad power cable). I just found out the remainder of the specs:
Biostar MB8500TTD (found this out before I had the 233 part, but...) 96MB EDO (scary, when you realize that the chipset is a 430TX - I'm taking it up to 128, even though only 64 is cached (of course, does it matter on cache if I use an AMD K6-III (I'm going to buy a 380 and overclock it to 400, as the real 400 needs a power setting that my board can't deliver, and it costs $10 more)? - don't know how much RAM it came with, but I know it was less than 96) 4.3GB Quantum Bigfoot CY (BIG is the correct term) PNY nVidia TNT (I THINK it's 1) - not sure on the RAM (it came with a Voodoo 1 and a Cirrus Logic card) ESS AudioDrive (don't know the model)
The modem was upgraded to 56K, and I don't have to worry about WinModems, as it's ISA. When this was new, as Sun Electronics was closing out, it cost $300. I told the guy that he was ripped off - I'd have paid $1500 for it six years ago, but that thing wasn't worth $200 three years ago, when it was new.
By better, I mean that Linux is more stable in certain applications, more secure from the desktop, not necessarily through the ethernet cable, and has less draconian licensing. I don't deny that Windows has it's uses - this laptop dual boots between Win2K and SuSE 8.2 (except the registry is chkdsked on the 2K partition, so it won't boot, and attempts to repair or reload it just lock the computer up - I'm tempted to blow out the partition, and resize the SuSE partition).
BTW, it looked like those were services your average desktop user wouldn't run by default on Linux. On Windows, there's SO much more stuff on by default that's exploitable.
Most of those seem to be optional software on both sides. Also, more of it seems to be optional on the Linux side. I'm not saying that Linux is "t3h s3kur3 05!", I'm saying it's better than Windows. If you want so-damn-secure-it'll-survive-every-cracker-in-the- world, get OpenBSD. If you want a decent OS that's better than Windows, get Linux.
- XFree86 will run on a lot of stuff. However, why do you need a GUI? Last I checked, you were developing a better CLI... - SSH? - No Microsoft proprietary Kerberos support. There's Kerberos, just not MS Kerberos. - I'm pretty sure it's there, and if not, someone can whip it up quickly. - Hmm... Samba, anyone? - I thought most of them WERE crypto... - The "free will" contributors do a better job and go through more of a review process than your patches, thank you very much - That's just pure BS - No. Initial cost is much less than Windows, and TCO would have to be less.

What's the point in buying a PS2 when in 72 years afterwards at the most, PS9 will hit the stands?
.mov - have fun with codecs). If anyone can find it in .mpg format, reply ASAP!
BTW, that's a reference to this PS2 commercial (Quicktime
PSX: "Original" PlayStation
PSone: Reworked PSX
PS2: PlayStation 2
PSX: PS2 + TiVo + DVD+-RW
That says that Nintendo getting 10% of Sony's PS profits is a hoax, not the whole thing about the PS.
Actually, the PlayStation was a SNES with a CD drive. A PlayStation X is what we all think is a PS1 - hence PSX.

Thanks for confirming my fears that ECS WAS PC Chips... Looks like ECS is another brand I won't buy...
OK, anyone want to send me a souped up rig to do these benchmarks on?

Move the mouse around a bit... especially, mouse over the shitfaced woman.

Nope. Half an hour northeast of Columbus, Ohio.
You mean the other way around, right? Lowering the FSB lowers the clock. 13x166=2158, or 3000+. 11x200=2200, or 3200+.
Well, I'm sure you could take the HyperTransport bus down to, what, 166MHz - same as the CPU?
