Here’s some of the frequently asked questions about the PlayStation Classic via the PlayStation Blog:
Q: How do memory cards / save states work?
Each title can support up to 15 virtual memory card slots, which you can manage from the console’s main UI. Just like the original PlayStation, once you delete a save file it fades away and cannot be recovered.
Additionally, pressing the Reset button on the PlayStation Classic console will bring you back out to the system’s main UI, creating a restore point wherever you left off in the game you were playing. Next time you play that game, you can return to the Restore point you had created before.
Q: How do disc changes work?
In games that originally shipped on multiple discs, like Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid, when you reach the end of a “disc,” press the “Open” button on the PlayStation Classic console to transition to the next virtual disc.
Q: How long are the cables for the system and its controllers?
The included HDMI cable is 2.0m / 78.7″; both included controllers have cables measuring 1.5m / 59.1″.
Q: Which cables can I use to connect the console to my TV?
PlayStation Classic ships with an included HDMI cable, which you can use to connect the system to your television. It does not support any other video or audio output methods.
Q: Can I use DualShock 4 with PlayStation Classic? How about PS2 or original PS1 controllers?
PlayStation Classic is only compatible with official PlayStation Classic controllers.
The PlayStation Classic will be available on December 3 for only $99.99.
