We try to take Tekken 3 for a spin, but it fails to do too much. Please remember that this is a prototype device. These results apply to hardware 1.1 and software 1.1A, rather than later PSIO revisions or the final product.

You can hit up ps-io.com if you have any questions, since I am but a mere tester. I do not understand the technology behind this wonderful invention.

In my November 2013 follow-up, I reported that Tekken 3 apparently worked with an updated bootloader. My own test used an older version and got further than before, which was promising.

Prototype test conditions

  • PSIO hardware: 1.1
  • PSIO software: 1.1A
  • PlayStation: SCPH-5502
  • CD deck: removed
