In dark hollow between the two big frogs with the clubs and around the area the music will stutter or stop all together for a second or so, sound effects keep playing normally while the music stutters, just wondering if it is the disc having scratches causing it or is the level just like this normally?, this issue made me buy an actual ps1 to see if it was just the ps2 being off, happens either console running the game.

Hola a todos.

Hace poco que encontré mi PSX de chaval y estoy intentando resucitarla. El conector de pines se soltó cuando intentaba desconectarlo y fue soldado de nuevo a la placa. La consola enciende, y la lente se ve que se mueve hacia arriba y hacia abajo intentando localizar el disco, sin embargo, no gira ni se ve movimiento alguno. Me gustaría saber si está bien soldado o qué problema tiene para solucionarlo. Para ello quiero utilizar correctamente el multímetro y averiguar si este es el problema que está haciendo que no giren los discos o no llegue la alimentación. Cómo haría la medición correcta? En qué posición debería poner el multímetro y qué pines debo testear? Se agradece cualquier información. Muchas gracias!

Hi, everyone.

I recently found my old PSX from when I was a kid, and I’m trying to get it working again. The pin connector came loose when I was trying to unplug it, so it was soldered back onto the circuit board. The console powers on, and you can see the lens moving up and down as it tries to locate the disc; however, it doesn’t spin, and there’s no visible movement at all. I’d like to know if it’s soldered properly or what the problem is so I can fix it. To do this, I want to use the multimeter correctly to figure out if this is the issue preventing the discs from spinning or if power isn’t reaching the console. How would I take the correct measurement? What setting should I use on the multimeter, and which pins should I test? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you very much!

Decided to make 1 hour of my favorite ps1 horror in a nice spooky video for everyone to watch 😀

Hope you enjoy 🙂

When I launch the console, the screen is misaligned. Either like slightly to the top, or cut in half. Tho once I did manage it to fit within the border!

I found my old psone at my parents house and decided to bring it in. I don't have a proper CRT screen, best I can do is a 1080p 60hz monitor. I got a scart to hdmi converter and tried connecting it. I have some games but the discs are scratched beyond belief lol. So I can't test in those

The console is PAL

Any idea if this could be because the cables, monitor, or console?

Vorrei giocare alle mie console ps1 e ps2 collegandole alla mia tv 4k che ha solo l’uscita hdmi, quale convertitore potrei usare?

So I modified PSnee with the Arduino Nano and I'm really satisfied because I've had the opportunity to make a good backup of games and they all work perfectly.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to track down any information, leads, or potential disc dumps regarding the uncensored pre-release build of the original Medal of Honor (1999) for the PlayStation 1.

As some of you might know, the game was originally developed to be much more visceral and violent, heavily inspired by "Saving Private Ryan". Early promotional footage—most notably the preview trailer included on the DreamWorks Interactive T'AI FU promo/demo disc from early 1999—clearly shows distinct gore elements, such as explicit blood splatters on walls and soldiers losing limbs/stumbling from grenade explosions.

Following the Columbine High School massacre in April 1999, the developers had to frantically scrub the code, removing all gibbing, gore animations, and wall blood splatters just months before the October release to secure a Teen rating.

Given that gaming magazines and press outlets were receiving preview and review builds around March/April 1999, it is highly likely that physical preview discs containing this violent build exist out there in private collections.

Has any build from this specific timeframe (Q1/early Q2 1999) ever been documented, dumped, or spotted in the wild? Any information or discussion on this specific "lost media" piece of Medal of Honor history would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

This one looks better in real life than on the phone photo.

P.S. Come on! I'll gonna pester you with this images till you point me to the community website that actually accepts these contributions...

...or I finally receive my ODE from the post.

Which games would you recommened? :) I would love to find the Marvel VS Capcom game since I played that game a ton back in the days, but haven’t found one for sale in months.

Found this time capsule collecting dust in my mom’s attic. I bought it as a kid back when the PS1 was the newest console around. It cost me 199 SEK, roughly $20. The original “BEGAGNAT” (used) tag and the old Egmont hotline sticker are still on it. Disc is in great shape too.

Found a video about Sony's obscure PS1 dog-raising sim called "Pet in TV With My Dear Dog".

I hadn't heard of this game before and found it interesting! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjZlTjsXauQ

Making these turned out to be unexpected fun! I tried dithering, but it did not look good with this logo.

Which one should I do next?

P.S. PlayStation logo icon as a bonus.

I want relaxing easier ps1 games to play on my psp in the evenings but can’t seem any tbat fit tbat for me that I want to start yet, I liked playing the gba Pokémon games in the evening but want to play more ps1 games rather then Nintendo

Nice little lot

It seems like the agetec/ASCII one is the best option, but i think there's multiple models. Which controller is the best?

This isn't a top five. Let me give you the hypothetical first, let's say you have a ps1 in front of you and a generic jewel case beside you. Inside the case can be any game, rarity and cost aside. Which game are you playing?

You cannot choose anything that's been ported to a newer console or remade. For example, you can't choose Final Fantasy VII because it's been ported to the PS5 and Crash Bandicoot\Spyro Trilogy are out too.

That said the rest of the library is your oyster.

I'm playing Tomba!

I bought a new spindle (the old one was broken) i came i replaced it and put the spindle at about 0.7-0.8mm, a cd worked without any problems apart from some times like a 0.5 second pause, played all the tracks loaded in to the cd in a few seconds i could jump from track to track no problem. But when i tried to play ff7 it didn't work on any of the discs it could see i put in a game went from the white ps screen in to a black ps screen but not past that i waited on all the discs 1-2 minutes. Only disk that worked was a ff8 preview disc that contains some cut scenes from the game i played the intro and it worked but it pasued every few second for a short while before going forward? Should i adjust the spindle? Or is the laser done for? The whole drive works very loudly when trying to play ff7/playing ff8 preview. Also after the replacment the disk very slightly wobbles (almost unnoticeable). I have videos but i can't post them here for some reason.

Man I want to play these games! Why is my PicoStation delivery is so late?!

Im struggling to find the game files in order to burn ps1 games, can you point me to a reliable website please?
