I would recommend looking at the PSIO if you're wanting to mod a PSX today. It's a bit on the expensive side, but it allows you to insert a SD card instead of having to use CDs. Over time discs degrade and become unusable, as well as the optical drives of the playstations themselves.

RetroManCave on YouTube has a good video on the PSIO: https://youtu.be/u4_ic5tKdQ0 https://youtu.be/u4_ic5tKdQ0

The PSIO is no longer recommended. TerraOnion's MODE for the PlayStation will be much better. https://stoneagegamer.com/blog/mode-comes-to-playstation/ https://stoneagegamer.com/blog/mode-comes-to-playstation/

  "Will be" is the important phrase here, since it also means "isn't yet". I can get PSIO today.

    Even the XStation is better than the PSIO: https://castlemaniagames.com/products/xstation https://castlemaniagames.com/products/xstation The PSIO has compatibility issues and is rather slow. Here is a good comparison video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYs_7V2Xh1k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYs_7V2Xh1k I own a PSIO myself, bought it years ago and I definitely respect it and the person who created it. But it's been topped for sure. Granted, the XStation is currently sold out, but I see no reason to go with an inferior product.

      "Sold out" still means "I can't get one". There is no point in a better product that you can't actually buy.
