JXD M1000 HDMI PS1 Game Console / HD Media Player with remote

[TPB]

OK guys,

What do you reckon of this PS1 game console & HD media player ?

It plays PS1 games off an SD card.  It supports SD-HC cards up to 32 GB.  It may even support PS1 games on an USB external drive, although that's anyone's guess.

It's compatible with all standard PS1 and PS2 controllers.  It supports 2 player gaming.  A cloned PS2 controller is included in the box.

It has both HDMI and Composite AV output, and also functions as a HD media player, with resolution up to 1,280 * 720.  It comes with its own remote control.

I'm interested.  But I'm hesitant to buy one after I got burnt with my GameBox purchase ... what a lemon that turned out to be.    

I'm unsure of the "emulation quality" of the PS1 games.  The ebay seller (refer link below) states "Support More Than 200 PS1 Game".  Perhaps this means that only 200 games are both (a) properly emulated, and (b) run fast enough to be playable ?

... he's a HK ebay seller who ships worldwide.


It's also on sale at Taobao (for those based in China).  This link has some nice pictures :

... for "the rest of us" who are outside of China (or non-Chinese speakers), I reckon the ebay seller is the way to go.  Or perhaps wait & see if DX shall stock it (they don't at the moment).  Alternatively, you can use this buying agent, to purchase Taobao items on your behalf  :

The JXD 3000 (from the same manufacturer) is a hand-held unit with HDMI out, which also emulates PS1 games.

It's sold by DX, so hopefully they'll also stock the M1000 soon :

Some info. on the JXD 3000 (the last word on this hand-held though ... I wouldn't want to derail my own thread, which is focused on the M1000) :

Focalprice are now selling the M1000, for $100 with free international shipping :

http://www.focalprice.com/CX171B/JXD_M1000_4GB_HDMI_TV_3D_PS1PS2_Game_Box_for_PCLaptop_Black.html


This is $5 more than the HK ebay seller (mentioned above), who's selling for $95 all up ($70 + $25 international shipping).


BTW, I wasn't sure whether to keep posting info. on this product, as it seems I'm the only one interested in it.  But then I noticed this thread has over 200 page views, so I guess there are some lurkers who are keen to know about it.

It looks like PSX4Droid on my Galaxy S. 

Looks nice but choppy game play.


Better to get a cheap PSP.

Better to get a cheap PSP.

The PSX emulation is probably better on a PSP.


But the M1000 has a few advantages of its own :

**  It uses the standard PS1 or PS2 controllers to play, as opposed to the PSP's small poky buttons.

**  You can plug in two controllers, to play two player games.

**  It has HDMI out, to enable the best picture quality on a big screen TV.

**  It has versatile media player capabilities.

Just commenting to say that I appreciate your info on different gaming devices that might have arcade cabinet uses.

I agree.

Dealextreme are now selling the M1000 :

It can be bought slightly cheaper on ebay.  The ebay seller is wood_man888, based in HK, as per the link above.  He's a reputable seller with good feedback.  He's already received positive feedback from one happy M1000 purchaser, being zwolf30 ...

It might be worth asking zwolf30 (via an ebay message) for his impressions of the product.

Looks like it runs quite well.   Certainly comes with a good selection of games.  I usually order from DX and although it takes quite a while (about 2.5 weeks)  i have only had a problem once and that shipment was replaced. Thanks for the update.
