PSone was a console that although it had awesome games, many preferred it to competition and for the ability to run copies using modchips.
For the consoles of that time to run a game backup, you had to install a modchip. However a new project comes to change this and allow the console to run titles even from an SD card.
PSIO is a cartridge that connects to PSone's I/O port (there you could connect devices like the Equalizer for those who remember) and lets you run the games you want in iso format.
It is ideal for those who want to play the console's games without worrying about whether the laser is broken or if they do not have the game disk. You have to find the iso (or the rip -if you own it), copy it to the card and run it normally. Sure you can play these games with the PC emulators, but always the original hardware is superior.
