[summaraize]
Over the years, many users have tried to run PlayStation 1 games on last-gen consoles, but no one has achieved this because of hardware limitations. However, it appears that after many years of hard work and research, one YouTuber is finally able to connect PS1 games to the PS4.
Just recently, one of the YouTubers named Carl Does Tech Things released a new video detailing how he was able to create an online PS1 game and run it on PlayStation 4.
YouTuber Explains How They Achieved This Technical Feat
Although it’s still very complicated and buggy, the YouTuber has shown in the latest video that he achieved this by creating an online game on the PS1 by soldering a connection to the serial communications port on the motherboard.
Once he accomplished that, the YouTuber then used a Raspberry Pi to connect the PS1 to the computer through LAN, where he added a program that translated the layer between serial and web sockets.
Therefore, he was able to run an online PS1 game on the PlayStation 4. If you do not understand much of the video, it’s best to watch the full YouTube video above to understand everything in detail and with reasoning.
It’s also worth noting that the final results are still laggy and somewhat buggy, the YouTuber has said he is working on getting them fixed. So, there is a chance we may actually get to run PS1 games smoothly on the PS4 in the near future.
