The cooperation with Sony started due to that purpose.
More precisely, Nintendo used floppy disks as storage media back then, but they wanted to move on discs. Back in 1986 Nintendo and Sony worked together to develop a better gaming console of the modern generation. The father of Sony PlayStation 1 is Ken Kutaragi. Players who were unable to purchase a new unit will usually rent it for a day or two.
One reason why PS1 was so popular is its implementation to the arcades and offered to rent. Let's just add that the PS1 was more popular than its rivals and for most users a better-looking device which offered advanced capabilities. The quality was exceptional and many of those devices are still operational today. However, it had a better ergonomics, more appealing price and it was better in terms of usage. PS1 was developed back in a day when Nintendo 64 and Sega Saturn were popular. PlayStation 1 ROMs and ISOs are available today for gamers who still want to play the classic games. It came preloaded with 20 popular games for the original console and it was released on 3rd of December in Japan, which was the same release date for the original PS1. In 2018, Sony released Play Station Classic, which was designed to look like PS1. The specifications and the systems inside the console were the same. The redesigned version was smaller and painted in gray. Most of you remember just one version of PlayStation 1 but there was another. An interesting fact is that controllers for PS1 and 2 are backward compatible. This occurred just one year before Sony PlayStation 3 was released. In the same year, games for the console were stopped with development. However, PS1 was still available brand new and also very popular. For instance, in 2000 Sony released Sony PlayStation 2 which was a significant improvement. The original console has been on the market for 11 years. The PSX was actually a codename of the console used in its development and today it is commonly used by fanatics and collectors. The PlayStation 1 is also known as PS, PS1 or PSX. In November it was released in Australia. Almost one year after it was released in the United States and Europe. The original console was released on 3rd of December in 1994 in Japan. It is developed and manufactured by Sony Computer Entertainment and it was sold in 102 million units. Good luck everyone!Īfter quite some time, CoolROM is finally on Twitter!

In order to keep our user experience high, we had another server (with a SSD drive) implemented just to handle our forums' MySQL database. This has caused, as you may have noticed, a significant slowdown when accessing and browsing our forums. Due to the recent surge of traffic to both our web site and forums, we have outgrown our current single server.
