Finally, after an epic journey, we are able to support the original PlayStation! The HD Retrovision PS1 adapter converts the male 9-pin mini-DIN connector on the Genesis YPbPr cable to a male PlayStation 12-pin connector. 

The specific list of known supported consoles can be found here. Though it may work with others that haven't been tested, it cannot be guaranteed.

Although the PlayStation 1 adapter will work with PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 consoles, RGB/SCART output needs to be enabled in the system menu and even then it can only operate properly in the standard definition video modes (240p/288p/480i/576i).

Additionally, the built-in DVD/Blu-ray Player application in these consoles is restricted from using RGB/SCART mode, so DVD/Blu-ray playback won't display properly when set to this mode.

If this missing functionality is important to you, we recommend using our PlayStation 2/3 YPbPr Cable instead which is available here.

NOTE: This product requires an HD Retrovision Genesis YPbPr Cable.  It will not work with a SNES YPbPr cable.

Your television or display must be able to support "240p"video over YPbPr to use this product.  You can easily test for this by following these steps

My PS1 games look noticeably sharper and more colorful on my flat screen now, and the adapter itself clicks in with a reassuring solidity. The picture quality jump over composite is honestly night and day for something this small.

William Y. ★★★★★

Finally got my old PlayStation looking right on a modern screen without shelling out for scalpers’ prices. The adapter feels solid, no wiggle when seated, and it’s nice that it works with the same cable I already had for my Genesis. Took about a minute to switch over, and the picture’s noticeably sh

Mia ★★★★★

The picture quality through my Genesis cable is noticeably cleaner than composite, and the adapter clicks into the console snugly without any wobble. Setup took me less than a minute and my PS1 games look sharp on a modern TV.
