It was a commercial success, partly due to Sony encouraging third-party developers with affordable dev-kits, being relatively easy to program for (compared to others at the time) and because its CD-based media was cheaper than the competition.Īlthough most PlayStation games would run at a near 240p resolution, some were capable of running at 480i. It also had a superior digital-to-analog converter than most CD players at the time. It used a proprietary MDEC video compression unit, which is integrated into the CPU, allowing for playback of full motion video at a higher quality than other consoles of its generation. It had a R3000 CPU (which was used by NASA for a space craft to take pictures of Mars because of its reliability) at 33.8688 MHz with 2MB of RAM and 1MB of VRAM. The PlayStation (frequently referred to in shorthand as the “PS1”, “PSOne” or its codename: “PSX” (not to be confused with the actual PSX)) is a fifth generation console released by Sony Computer Entertainment on Decemin Japan and Septemin the US.
