   You may recall I did one of these for a customer recently. I did one for myself yesterday!

   Sony PlayStation, with mods:

   * Stealth modchip (OneChip), disables copy/region restriction
   * Replace GPU's NTSC master clock with 53.69mhz signal, for true NTSC timings (59.82hz vsync instead of 53.27hz)
   * Replace the clockgen's 4.43Mhz subcarrier with signal from GPU, which changes according to PAL/NTSC mode; true NTSC instead of PAL60
   * Blue power LED powered by laser sled; it flashes when a CD is read

     I need a real playstation like this, because I've been studying a playstation emulator called DuckStation, which recently became proprietary software. I've been working on an opensource fork of it, from before it went proprietary.

     I'm a bit delayed because of Libreboot/Minifree stuff taking priority, but I plan to have the new emulator out by Christmas.

     I need to be able to test behaviours on hardware vs emulator, so, I need a real PlayStation that can play burned discs, with accurate timings.
