Actually, the first research-variant of the Playstation was a SNES with cdrom. The one they started selling, though, was something new, though the technology resembled the SNES.
And yeah, I don't know what all this business about hating this or that is good for. I mean, do you hate your computer for being something else than a Nintendo system, huh?
I own a GP32, filthy me, but I do emulate NES on it. WHAT THE "#¤% IS THE DEAL, GOOD PEOPLE? >:(
