Yeah a Pentium would work better imo. My Pentium 4 is still going strong from over a decade of use.
This is kinda silly
I've been wondering, isn't that basically how Nintendo approaches things too? Using hardware that has been tried-and-tested and is widely understood in order to ease development?
Yes, there are still small improvements being made to MIPS but they are mostly used in the embedded market. You are right that there is active development in that branch.MIPS had its latest ISA release (Release 6) just last year. Imagination now owns MIPS.

Nah they're just a bunch of Sony ponies over there.
They were going to run it at full speed, but couldn't find an extension cord for the power outlet that was long enough.The most amazing thing is that the version which had gone to Pluto is actually considerably slower than the one we've got on the PSOne.
PSOne: 33 MHz
New Horizons: 12 MHz

Good job, NASA! Sending a PlayStation to Pluto. Now if they ain't progress then I don't know what is.
Consoles better than PCs confirmed. Suck it losers.

I wonder if it has to fly upside down to work properly
yes I realize there is no right-side-up in space!
Fun fact, voyager was a modified nes and the reason its been able to operate so long is the cartridge slot was left open, allowing for space dust to continually blow into the compartment to ensure normal operation.
Sony clearly broadening its customer base to the rest of the solar system. Just wait until the Aliens get their hands on those sweet, sweet PS1 exclusives.
Could you imagine if it sold to just 1% of another planet? They would outsell the iphone.
Depends on the planet.

RISC over CISC. I would imagine it is much easier to debug which needs to be easy when the machine is 4 billion km away and communicating with the backup computer.Wonder why they didn't just use a 486 or the original Pentium or something...
good to know the onboard AI has FF7/FF8/FF9 at their disposal for the long ol' journey.

As for 486, I've seen 486-based PCs crash a whole heck of a lot more than I've seen a PSX crash. The PSX CPU is quite a bit simpler and less power hungry, which is important for a long mission away from human hands like this.
