And the directory all the platform specific tools were installed to was called "psx". And if you burn a CD without a system.cnf file on it, then the boot ROM tries to boot a file called "psx.exe" (obviously, you need a debug console or a modchip for this to work).

Excellent find @Spawn Wave , when I speak about PSX people assume that I mean the catch-all for PS1 that people use these days.

The PSX was once a dream to have. I remember searching endlessly for it. It was that rare cool thing only the cool kids had back in the day.

The lens may have a pot sensor where you can adjust the screw to fix the laser maybe that might help. Very common with the ps2 laser.

The console of the future.

I remember reading about these when they were coming out in Japan, and really hoping they would launch in other markets. A Sony PS2 that was also a digital TV receiver/recorder and DVD burner - that would be a no-brainer. PErfect home entertainment hub. Sadly, they never released outside of Japan. So I looked forward to the backwards compatible PS3. Then they removed the PS2 chips. Still, I have a PS3 Slim, and coupled with the PS3's Freeview box, it's a pretty good home entertainment hub. I can record live and scheduled TV onto the PS3's hdd, and watch it back. I can even copy it to USB sticks. The only thing I can't do, it burn it to a disc, sadly.

Wow never new this was a thing! Just learned something. Kinda cool!

The laser on the left in the black casing is a standard Playstation 2 laser. The one on the right is probably there to initialize and burn discs. Possibly read non Playstation discs as well to remove unnecessary strain.

I remember reading about all these obscure systems as they came out, either in magazines or online. The Mega Drive with the built-in CD-ROM, the Panasonic Gamecube, I even own an NTSC-based Commodore Amiga CD32 (only ever released in Canada), and so much more. I've forgotten so many more important things, but somehow remember all this useless info about obscure gaming systems. :-)
