Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our efforts to preserve and document PlayStation prototypes across all generations and genres.

We preserve a wide range of PlayStation prototypes, including early builds, unreleased games, debug hardware, development kits, concept demos, and pre-release discs or cartridges across all PlayStation platforms (PS1 to PS5, including PSP and PS Vita).

We verify authenticity through multiple imaging passes, checksum validation, provenance checks, and, where possible, confirmation against developer notes or SDK toolchains to ensure accuracy and integrity.

Yes, we welcome donations of prototypes, discs, or hardware. We provide secure shipping and return workflows, along with detailed imaging receipts and reports. Please submit a lead via our contact page to coordinate.

We share documentation, metadata, and research notes publicly. Any release of binaries or other content is subject to strict legal and ethical reviews, often limited to metadata or build differences to respect intellectual property.
