Nintendo PlayStation Prototype

Professional video game system modder Ben Heck is at it again, and this time, he’s managed to get the disc drive working on an extremely rare Nintendo PlayStation prototype. For those unfamiliar with this console, it was basically planned to be launched as an add-on for the standard Super NES, as well as a stand-alone hybrid console. The standalone unit has the following connectors: Two SNES Gamepad ports, Cartridge slot, Dual-speed CD-ROM, AV RCA composite Stereo, S-Video, RFU DC OUT (similar to the PlayStation SCPH-1001), Nintendo proprietary Multi-out AV Connector (same as the Super NES, Nintendo 64, and GameCube), Headphone jack on the front, Serial Port labelled “NEXT” (probably for debugging) and one Expansion Port under the unit.
