Those who have been involved in the video game scene over the last two decades would be aware of the legend surrounding the Nintendo PlayStation. No, not the Sony PlayStation, the Nintendo PlayStation. For years, classic gamers considered the console to be largely a myth. This was dispelled recently as a modder not only found the Nintendo PlayStation, he actually got it to work.
Originally planned as a joint collaboration between Nintendo and Sony, the PlayStation project fell through when the two companies could not come to terms. This is what made Sony decide that it was going to create its own home video game unit, Gamespot reports. It was never released to the public but this didn’t prevent the game box from falling into the hands of Ben Heckendorn.
In his YouTube channel, Heckendorn posted a video of him actually getting the console to work. He apparently received it from someone who was hoping that the well-known video game modder would be able to get it up and running. As it turns out, he could, but only partially.
While the console could load games in cartridge form just fine, it had trouble doing the same thing for CD-based titles. Heckendorn finally managed to at least get the Nintendo PlayStation to accept such a setup, but it wasn’t functioning as well as he had hoped.
On that note, his experiment at least proved that the cartridge/CD hybrid had the capacity to run CD games, Mashable reports. Now, it’s just a matter of actually finding the right software to make the platform and feeds compatible.
The Nintendo PlayStation is basically an evolved version of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, which uses CD-ROM. It was first unveiled back in 1991, during that year’s Consumer Electronics Show, but it ultimately came to nothing when Nintendo decided to pull the plug on the collaboration.
Instead, the Japanese video game company chose to partner with Philips to create the Philips CD-i, which was an unmitigated disaster. It even spawned some of the most reviled Legend of Zelda titles, which retro gamers have chosen to never talk about ever again.
