− | + | [[File:PocketStation.jpg|thumb|The Sony PocketStation]]'''[[gametech:PocketStation|PocketStation]]''' is a memory card peripheral made by Sony Computer Entertainment for the [[PlayStation emulators|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. | |

− | + | ;110:Also called "J110", this is the BIOS used for all retail PocketStations and should provide compatibility for all software on any emulator. DrHell recommends dumping it yourself using the [http://onorisoft.free.fr/retro.htm?ps/ps.htm PocketStation BIOS Tool by Orion_]. Unfortunately, no kernel dump of this version has surfaced online. | |
