1. Does it have an S-Video out?

2. Will the PSX 1 controllers work with it?

3. Will the PSX 1 memory cards work with it? Since it’s backwards compatible with PSX 1 games, I would assume that the memory cards would have to be as well.

1. ya have to buy a s-vid adapter

2. the psx 1 controller do work, cannot use the old multi tap

3. the psx 1 mem cards only seem to work with the old games – new games are too large to save.
