I've got 2 already:
my orginal 60GB version (YLoD, heatgun fixed until I gave up)
one with a broken disc-drive I traded for, put my old drive (with its daughterboard) in and eventually it stopped reading discs (not sure if it burned out or firmware DRM timeout thing, cleaner disc didn't work)
I could probably fix either but I don't want to spend money on it, plus given the situation I'd probably need to fix both.
Can't rip my own disc (I have a blu-ray drive but not the right kind for PS3 ripping). Emu is a hassle esp. w/big files (and I have a 1050Ti). Bookmarks are dead (or need acct?) and I can't seem to find a demo image to see if it'd run.
Yeah, sorry. I could probably do something, it's just tedious especially now. Maybe eventually, though I remember stuff (like a cheap laser puzzle game from the PSN, also some old animations sold on the PSN though I did remember Stickman Exodus) that I probably won't ever find again.
On a very similar note I really like the idea of creating some sort of content, not sure if things will ever align there either. I'd like to create minimalist stuff (that could run on the PS1 even, so it's a shame that it'll never be as simple as clicking export from Godot (it could happen 3rd-party maybe, but might be too niche) and copying a file over.
Given the classic example of running Doom on everything I think eventually if an old platform is popular enough then its hacking/homebrew community will find a way of running anything on it. Maybe your Godot dream will be reality one day!
