Posted on GitHub , the code dump shows differences between the core PCSX PlayStation emulator and a custom version of that emulator, seemingly the one being used in the micro-console (the PlayStation Classic uses a port of the PCSX emulator to run its games).If legitimate, those differences include a list of 36 games not included on the release version of the PlayStation Classic, which appear to have been tested for the micro-console, but not included.Here's that list in full:Some reports have stated that the games are still present on the console, although there's nothing to suggest that in the code as presented.It's likely that some if not all of these games were tested before licenses were agreed for the titles that did make it to the release build, and subsequently became impossible to include.However, if accurate, it does give a glimpse of what the Classic could have been without tricky things like "laws". It might also have avoided us calling it a "missed opportunity" in our review There's more hidden under the Classic's grey surface – yesterday, it was discovered that plugging in certain USB keyboards allowed you to access some of the emulator's settings.
