Unfortunately, no kernel dump of this version has surfaced online.

The Sony PocketStation

PocketStation is a memory card peripheral made by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation that was released in Japan in 1999. Software for the PocketStation was typically distributed as PlayStation CD-ROM extras, enhancing the games with added features. Stand-alone software could also be downloaded through the PlayStation console. The software is then transferred to the PocketStation for use. A built-in infrared data interface allows direct transfer of data such as game saves between PocketStation units, as well as multiplayer gaming. 60 games in total were compatible with the PocketStation.
