A detailed walkthrough of restoring and modernizing an original PlayStation console. The project covers cleaning a grimy shell, reversing previous piracy mods and region hacks, installing a PicoStation ZeroWire SD card loader, adding an HDMI output mod via a flex PCB soldered to the video chip, replacing wired controllers with a Bluetooth adapter board, and swapping the original AC power supply for a USB-C PD unit. The build is finished with a custom 'dev kit blue' respray referencing the PS1's original announcement color.
