Someone managed to access the PlayStation Classic's secret menu

Although the PlayStation Classic is a faithful miniaturization of the original console, it's simply an emulator, and the people at YouTube channel Retro Gaming Arts have managed to find a way to access the console's secret menu.

Using a simple USB keyboard (although the video creators note only Corsair and Logitech keyboards seem to work) and hitting the Escape key when a game boots up, you can access the menu which allows you to manipulate frame rates and what appears to be the ability to enter cheats.

Of course, there's the risk of messing up your system, so be wary if you're going to try this at home.

Given the PlayStation Classic's annoyingly limited range of games, it's a first step into figuring out if the system can be hacked to do more than what's been prescribed by Sony.
