Thanks

Oh yeah, I am kind of hyped for this one, I love beat em ups, and batman of the Future is peak, I am excited to see if the game is fun.

First of all, I hope everyone has a peaceful festive December, wherever you are reading this.

I've started Syphon Filter 2 (still on the first mission), and Wipeout 3 (trying to win most of the tournaments). I think I'll be busy with these two for a while. From what I've read, SF2 is an improvement on the first, more cinematic and with some improved mechanics. By finishing this one, I'll have finished the entire PS1 trilogy.

Please do share your latest PS1 gaming experiences and what you're planning to play this month and over Christmas.

From what I understand if I want to play NTSC games they don't run in correct 60hz but slightly slower?

Also on my setup (without DFO or MFO or MOFO) it's better to play NTSC games or PAL ?

I have two memory cards for the ps1, both from 3rd parties. None of them work, and I have heard this may be because my console doesn’t support 3rd party cards. Could this be the case, and is there any way of checking if I have a model that rejects 3rd party cards?

Hi there, yesterday I went to a car boot sale and looking for some games I found the game Theme Hospital, with booklet and cover, but on a simple cd case, so not original ps1.

The guy was asking 30€ for it. I think it was overpriced. The same thing went for other sellers, everything was overpriced just because it's a "Ps1" game.

Is it happening only to me to find sellers with overpricing Items? it's really killling my will to buy stuff.

Long shot but can anyone explain how to do the special moves? The only guides I can find are super vague and the booklet isn’t any help at all.

It was 20$ off facebook marketplace cuz it wasent reading games. Got him down to 15 and he added a controller for 20, with a free memory card!! Gonna open it up and hopefully fix the disc reading issue. If anyone has any tips please leave em in the comments cuz i’ve never opened one of these things as it’s my first one. So excited to play ape escape finally!!

I know we all think alike, so, being PSX enthusiast, what is your WiFi network name ?

It has 4 wires soldered in, all red. My console is hard-freezing during Crash 2, where when I select “New Game” it does nothing. Will I need to do some de-soldering?

My gf and I lol'd pretty hard at this

Almost exactly a year ago, a coworker of mine found a PS1, SCPH-9001, in a dumpster and brought it to me. It was dirty, but after being cleaned, turned out to be in great condition inside and out. The console would boot, but it would not load any games, wouldn't even spin a disc. I diagnosed it with a dead optical drive and put it in the project pile. With a working PS1 (5501) already in my stable, this one was low on my list of priorities. I think I posted about it here, but it was about a week short of a year ago.

Well, my 5501 is sidelined with another broken disc spindle (god I hate those things), so I decided I was done putting this one off, and gambled on a $20 replacement optical drive off eBay from a US-based seller, either a new old stock OEM one or a convincing bootleg (I assume the latter). I finally got it in the mail yesterday and installed it. And... the dumpster PS1 lives! This console has been granted a second life and I can't thank my coworker enough for saving it and bringing it to me.

My old PS1 will only play games if it's stood on its side wtf 😂 I'm guessing it's something to do with the laser maybe but I dunno anyone know what this is?

Does anyone have a fix?

bought a pre-programmed mm3 and installed it on this pu-18 board. original psx discs work fine, but backups say “insert a playstation cd-rom.” where’d i go wrong? looking for troubleshooting tips
