If you want to develop console games, every company (Sony, Nintendo, etc...) sell developers editions of their systems.

Bad thing is they cost at least double what the systems themselves cost.

For a game developer, this is petty cash if they make the next big hit though.

For a hobby standpoint, it's going to be expensive, and you have to consider the whether or not the investment will be worth it for you, but I'm sure you can find some PSX1 developers consoles for cheaper just to get you started.
I know those were going for about 700 bucks way back when the PSX was selling for 300 in it's glory-day (mid to late 90's).
