It's nostalgia overload as we discuss the most influential gaming system ever released! The original PlayStation, later called PSOne, brought a new attitude toward gaming.
Arguably the most influential gaming system ever. It changed the face of console gaming and we're here to discuss it.

I was able to get the roms for a game After a bit of work i got the ECM files into ISO files then extracted the iso files to get the access to everything.
The only issue is almost everything seems to come in this LZS file format and i cant seem to find any infomation on how to edit or work with these files.
Yes the box is damaged and it's missing the manual. But I'm still happy to finally have this especially after playing a demo of it more than 2 decades ago

This year we played eight random PS1 demo disks and scored them arbitrarily out of 10 (Episode 50). We want to know... what are your favourite PS1 demo disk memories?
Hey dudes. Left these at my parents house and they moved. No discs in any of these cases unless they're shown. Just wondering if these are valuable at all and if anyone wants them. I'm not looking to make a buck but I'm happy to find a home.
Note that the tomb raider disc is in a dbz case
Either way. Let me know if I trash or what to do.
I feel like the final fantasy series may have value
Hi, i bought a PS1 today he work but when i play he did'nt recognize my memory card in slot 1 and 2. Someone know how can I resolve that ?
Was wondering if there was someone in the UK or a shop that could Mod chip my ps1 and ps2? I have a ps1 and ps2 that i want to have a mod chip to play all region/backup discs?
Thanks in advance
Also checked earlier at the lives and found out with lives alone I'll only be at 96 lives, otherwise if I get another 100 tings then in that case 97.
Hi everyone, I own a PS2 and a PS4. I still have a couple of games from PS1 which I don’t ever play. I’m thinking about selling them but the only thing that stops is that they might be worth way more in the next 5-10 years. Of course I know that nobody knows what their price is gonna be but I would like some advice about it this topic.
This is the list:
Dragonball Final Bout
The Fifth Element
Gekido
Tomb Raider
Formula One 99 (no case)
International superstar soccer pro
Something to note: except for the fifth element, all of them have a kind of broken case. Thank you in advance!
I haven't bought a game in the wild in the last 2 years until today.
Always thought the US manuals are printed on unusual feeling paper versus the PAL manuals. They are like more matte papery, the PAL ones seem thicker and glossier.
Hi everyone! I recently found the Japanese-exclusive PS1 game JGTC: All-Japan Grand Touring Car Championship and am really enjoying it. However, I’m stuck on the requirements for completing races, especially in Real Mode, and could use some help from anyone who’s played or has the manual.
Game Modes and Requirements:
JGTC includes a Championship mode with two classes, GT300 and GT500, each of which can be played in Normal or Real mode.
I noticed that Real Mode keeps the original number of laps (sometimes tens of laps), while Normal Mode limits it to 11 laps. I suspect both modes have similar requirements for pit stops and driver switching, but I haven’t figured out the exact conditions for either mode.
The Problem:
The game seems to require specific actions, like pit stops and driver switches. In Normal Mode, I could get through races after a few tries, but I still don’t know exactly how many pit stops or switches are required to avoid race termination. The only requirement I’ve found in the game’s menu is that one of the drivers must complete at least 1/3 of the race.
In Real Mode, after 51 laps of the first race (over 90 minutes of racing), the game still ended the race early. I don’t want to make more pit stops than necessary, so I’d love to understand the exact requirements.
Language Barrier:
There are Japanese text pop-ups during races that I can’t translate easily because they disappear whenever I pause the game. Does anyone know if these pop-ups or the manual specify the race requirements? If so, what do they say?
Looking for Help:
If anyone has played through this game, has a manual, or knows the requirements for Real Mode, I’d really appreciate the insight! I’m determined to finish the game but need to understand the in-race demands first.
Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide!
A beautiful gothic video game.
Is it possible to connect USB gamepads to original PSX hardware? I know that would require some external hardware/adapters, but I was unable to find any. I'd appreciate if anyone can share any info if this even exists
Can anyone remember an obscure ghost hunting game where you played a bald 3rd-person character that looked a bit like Hitman? You were some sort of psychic that was hired to find and remove various evil spirits from each level which was set in a different location, like manor houses, etc. The game had something like “Tenebrae” or “Tenebris” in the title. I never completed it and can’t find anything about it anywhere now. Please help if you know what game this is.
Hi forgive me if this seems like an obvious fix, I'm trying to open the memory card option in my psx main menu but every time I start the console with the tray open it won't allow me to even hover over options it's just stuck on the screen. Any advice?
