PlayStation Console
From Wikipedia
The PlayStation (officially abbreviated to PS, and commonly known as the PS1) is a home video game console developed and marketed by Sony Computer Entertainment. The console was released on 3 December 1994 in Japan, 9 September 1995 in North America, 29 September 1995 in Europe, 15 November 1995 in Australia, and for Korea in 1996. The console was the first of the PlayStation lineup of home video game consoles. It primarily competed with the Nintendo 64 and the Sega Saturn as part of the fifth generation of video game consoles.
The PlayStation is the first "computer entertainment platform" to ship 100 million units, which it had reached 9 years and 6 months after its initial launch. In 2000, a redesigned, slim version called the PSone was released, replacing the original grey console and named appropriately to avoid confusion with its successor, the PlayStation 2.
In 1999, Sony announced the successor to the PlayStation, the PlayStation 2, which is backwards compatible with the PlayStation's DualShock controller and games, and launched the console in 2000. The last PSone units were sold in winter 2004 before it was officially discontinued in March 2005, for a total of 102 million units shipped since its launch 10 years earlier. Games for the PlayStation continued to sell until Sony ceased production of PlayStation games on 23 March 2006 - over 11 years after it had been released, and less than a year before the debut of the PlayStation 3.

From Wikipedia
The PocketStation is a Memory Card peripheral by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation home video game console. Categorized by Sony as a combination of a Memory Card and a miniature personal digital assistant, the device features a monochrome liquid crystal display (LCD), infrared communication capability, a real-time clock, built-in flash memory, and sound capability. To use the device's memory card functionality, it must be connected to a PlayStation through a memory card slot. It was released exclusively in Japan on January 23, 1999.
Software for the PocketStation was typically distributed as extras for PlayStation games, included in the CD-ROM, 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.
The original Japanese ship date for the PocketStation was set for December 23, 1998, but it was delayed a full month. Sony only shipped an initial 60,000 units of the peripheral when it was released on January 23, 1999. It was initially available in two case colors: white and clear. It proved extremely popular, selling out all over the region. Sony planned to release the PocketStation outside Japan, engaging in promotional activity in Europe and North America, but the release did not occur. SCEA cited an inability meeting Japanese demand as the reason for the PocketStation's absence. A few games, such as Final Fantasy VIII and SaGa Frontier 2, retained PocketStation functionality in their localized versions.
The PocketStation's most popular game was Dokodemo Issho, which sold over 1.5 million copies in Japan and is the first game to star Sony's mascot Toro. The PocketStation was discontinued in July 2002 after having shipped nearly five million units.
On November 5, 2013, it was announced that the PocketStation would be revived as an application for the PlayStation Vita, allowing users to play PocketStation format minigames for any classic PlayStation games that they own. Originally it was only available to PlayStation Plus members, it was later released to the general public. It remains an exclusive to the Japanese PlayStation Vitas.

Game-Enhancer
Note
I received this "Game-Enhancer" from a friend just a few years back when he gave me all his old PlayStation stuff. Funnily enough, when I would have liked to have used it years ago to play my imported games I didn't have access to it and now I've purchased Japanese consoles to play those titles anyway so this is kind of an oddity in my collection. I feel it's an important thing to show though as these sorts of "mods" were common back in the day and it's neat to find out about them now.
WHAT IS A STEALTH GAME ENHANCER ?
Bust Open your games with the New Stealth Game Enhancer!
The Stealth Game Enhancer for the Sony PlayStation is a powerful game enhancement tool! Want to play back-up copies and imports?

Why the New Stealth Game Enhancer instead of soldering a Mod Chip?
With the game enhancer you will NOT void your warranty. Why void the warranty on your PlayStation console because you installed a mod chip to play imports?

How Does It Work?
Before you try and copy a Playstation CD, you must be aware that you can't just copy-and-play. It is critical that you understand the copy protection used inside the PSX, and what you must do to play copied CDs. Authentic CDs for the PSX have black bottoms, as compared to normal CDs with silver or gold bottoms. This is to distinguish authorized CDs from those made with a standard CD recorder. Despite the coloring, PSX CDs can be read in any PC or Mac CD-ROM.
The black CDs are made with special recorders made by Sony, which are able to write special CDs (through the use of bad blocks). Bad blocks are segments of data on the CD which have been marked as invalid. Normally, you do not want these on a CD as any data which is located in a bad block is lost. Because of this, all consumer CD recorders are designed to correct bad blocks when they read them before writing them to new CDs. Only Sony's special development recorders will re-write these bad blocks on new CDs, and these cannot be purchased. Understanding bad blocks is the key to understanding the Playstation's copy protection scheme.
When the PSX boots up, it performs two checks on the CD inside the PSX. One of these checks looks for the country code, which tells the PSX what country the CD was created in. If the code matches the code that is located in the PSX BIOS (Basic Input/Output System), the boot procedure will continue. For example, a Japanese CD is not playable on a US Playstation because of the country code check. The second check looks for bad blocks at certain locations on the CD. Since only Sony's CD recorders can produce these, the presence of bad blocks tell the PSX that the CD is authentic. If they are not there, the PSX halts the boot process.
Will my Stealth Game Enhancer / Game shark / Action Replay / Modshark work with
a Mod Chip?
Yes! However you will need to follow the following procedure to boot your games.
1. Open the lid, put the cd in the unit, leave the lid open.
2. Turn on the playstation.
3. Pick whatever cheat codes you want to use.
4. Close the lid and press the button to start the game within 1-2 seconds of closing
You must do this procedure because the units like the Game Enhancer / Game
Shark take over the boot process and since the Stealth Mod Chip must go into Stealth mode in order to beat the new protection you must tell the chip to wake up before you tell the game to boot.
The STEALTH GAME ENHANCER is an 'upgrade' that allows you to use CD's from every country in every format possible. Play the import titles from America, Europe or Japan on your Playstation! Now it's also possible to use your personal back-up CD's (CD-R's) and import CD's. Fast and easy to install! Compatible with U.S. and European Sony PlayStation models - 100x/550x/700x/750x PAL/NTSC!
NOTE: Will not work with the 900x, PSone or PS2 series PlayStations.
