Here is my PlayStation, this one was donated to me recently with no games, no controllers, and no cables, luckily, I already had a PSone, and all the leads and controllers are compatible
So lets get started, We all know that the PlayStation was originally to be an add on for the Super Nintendo, but Nintendo pulled out and developed the N64 instead, this left Sony to develop the add on into a full game console, and beat Nintendo at their own game
Years before though, Sony had developed a MSX compatible machine, so were not new to the gaming market

The top of the unit has the disc tray with release button, a toggle power switch with LED, and a reset button

The front of the unit has two controller ports, and two memory card slots, while the rear has a serial I/O port, AV multi out, AC in, and a parallel I/O port under a removable cover

The controller with the analogue sticks, this is from the PSone

Here are the memory cards, the two football cards were bought for £1 each in a clearence sale

This is the RF adaptor, although RGB and RCA leads were available, this is from my PSone

If the PlayStation is booted without a game disc, you get this screen, this is the memory card management and CD player options
