The universe of PlayStation 1 is vast, with entire ecosystems built around its various abilities and features. The PlayStation Library is just one of many incredible websites out there that keep the PS1 alive in our collective hearts. While you’re researching here in the variant kingdom, take some time to enjoy other fans’ work and passion. You won’t go wrong!

Research Sites

PlayStation Data Center
A great place to look up PS1 stuff, regardless of what region you’re in. As my slow progress on the Japanese library continues, you can research a whole lot on PAL and the Japanese side.

MemCard.art
One of the best sites on the internet. Cataloging our favorite PS1 Memory Card icons and all their variants. It’s so much fun to browse, especially with the supplemental information.

I am Error
Factory Misprints for days…

Rings of Saturn
Where ProjectUp1 has relied on manual brute force, RoS is actually reverse engineering games and discovering payloads of unreleased programmers cheats and more. It’s awe-inspiring to read their processes. Covers Sega Saturn, PlayStation, 3DO and other systems.
