For years, the dream of playing original PlayStation (PS1) games on a modern 4K TV without input lag, muddy composite video, or the need for expensive upscalers like the Frameister or Retrotink has been a holy grail for retro gamers. Enter SuperPSX —a project that aims to be the definitive video solution for the original 64-bit console.
If you can install it or afford it, it transforms the PS1 into a modern console. If not, stick with a RetroTINK. But either way, respect the engineering—SuperPSX is a masterpiece of retro-hardware hacking.
Until then, SuperPSX remains a gorgeous, niche, enthusiast-grade love letter to Sony’s gray box. It doesn’t just play your old games—it shows them to you in a way you’ve never seen before, revealing texture details in Metal Gear Solid and color gradients in Final Fantasy VII that have been hidden for 25 years by composite video noise.
