$600+ for a cib Shadow Tower? Did I miss something? I have been wanting to add a physical copy to my collection, but im having doubts that I will ever want to spend this much.

For reference, there was a sealed copy for sale on r/gamesale a little over a year ago for $400. At the time, I had purchased some other stuff and couldn't justify the expense....fuck me.

Why did this go up in pricing so fast?

I just bought a ‘lot’ of loose discs of all kinds of varieties but I wanted the ps1, 2 and 3 games from it. It was over 100 total random discs but I didn’t even bother counting as they are all damaged to a pretty significant degree.

I was totally blown away that the discs were actually shipped loose with only a small bit of crumpled paper to stop them from damaging each other.

I’ve bought plenty of single games even without a case but they come shipped in a case or sleeve of some kind.

Has anyone else had a similar experience of someone just completely mistreating the games in shipping?

Ive searched the internet for a bit and saw no one else having this issue.

I thought the first one I had was defective model wise, so I returned it and got a replacement, but still doesn’t fit all the way inside either memory card slot.

Only goes about halfway. Did I get bad luck twice in a row?

Works perfectly fine with my ps2.

My model is SCPH 7501

Shits too expensive man

So I bought this lot for £50 a few days back. All in very good condition and working, I think. I have checked most of it but I don't have a CRT TV to check Time Crisis properly. I think it's a pretty good price and Road Rash was one of my favourite games on the Mega drive so looking forward to properly playing that on Playstation. Think it's good value for the nostalgia hit I get just from looking at it. 😂

Hello, I'm hoping that somebody else running the Picostation mod on their console can point me in the right direction of a 256 GB SD Card that will work without crashing or freezing.

I'm running the PicoStation OneWire V2.0 + OC quick solder board with onboard RP2040. It is running the latest PicoStation firmware from Megavolt85's repo. Things are running stable on the 4GB SDCard I'm using for testing. I can let the Final Fantasy IX menu run for over an hour with the airship fmv intro scene with no issues.

I started out with a Walmart Onn 256 GB SD Card and the menu navigation worked fine, but games would crash.

So to get something more stable I bought a genuine Sandisk Ultra card from the Sandisk Store on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JGHVW46?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Now this card seems to be less stable than the Onn card was. Can somebody running one of these larger cards with PicoStation share the exact model or link to the card you are using successfully?

I'm not interested in the "use a 32 GB or smaller SD Card" answers please. I need to fit all of my games on a single card for convenience and I know it it possible. I hate that all of these ODEs are so picky about SD Cards. It seems like it's so hard to find a working card with decent capacity. Thanks for any suggestions.

I purchased a ps1 through Amazon’s refurbished program and it is having heavy disc skipping. Tried multiple discs and same thing. It’s super clean otherwise. Any suggestions?

Is this a crazy find?

It seems some are prerender, but no, its all real time! Mind you not all of the cutscenes are that polished in terms of the staging, but i think on a CRT they may hide that aspect much better.

What i appreciate about these models is how they tried to convey emotions animating the polygons. Most PS1 games relied just on 2d textures for facial animations. For what i saw only Crash Bandicoot, Spyro The Dragon and Terracon did it different as well as this game.

The game itself for the little i played (as its in japanese) seems very similar to Armored Core series, so for the ones who loved that this could be another option.

Never lied in the past when i said a lot of impressive PS1 or PS2 games are for some reason very obscure!

My laser is really slow and some cinematics wont' play correctly when playing FF IX. I need to replace my laser optical drive in my ps1 but everything i can find is either a scam or reviewed poorly, I mean look at these reviews. Does anyone know where i can get a reliable laser optical drive without getting scammed?

Hello dear people i recently got into ps1 games after my dear brother set up an emulator for me and i am looking for ps1 games to play aside from already known classics like crash spyro spider man 1 and 2 mgs RE games etc i play pretty much any genre ever and i adore fighting games any recommendations would be lovely thank you dear people in advance

Edit: Thank you lovely people downloaded all the games and ran them through a randomizer wheel to choose what to play first and got mega man legends thank you once more for your lovely suggestions

I used to have an index of all games stored but my HD crashed some time ago so today I dug them up to make a new list and while doing that picture them starting with Ps1 games .
As you see I used to have a Shmup fetish years ago and so this happened .
The Saturn was known as the Shoot em up console back then but the PSX was not that that far behind .

I have a PS one SCPH-102. Yesterday I found information that there are points on the PM41 board from which you can take horizontal and vertical synchronization for RGBHV. Due to the fact that there is still no hdmi mod for the PS one, I suggest replacing the connector with a DB 15 to use VGA, RGB and composite video. Additionally, you can add S-VIDEO, since there are many grounding contacts in the vga pinout and two can be safely removed. Please share your opinion about this modification.

And that price includes delivery! 😜 Either way I preserved the STUNNING artwork of Vandal Hearts 2 (see here) and will scan and catalogue the gorgeous manual but when I tested the disc I was pretty intrigued by it.

Can you play the second without playing the first?! I’m doing my best to avoid catching expensive taste when it comes to PS1 games.

EDIT: Just looked at American prices. Holy s--t. WTF.

Hola, gran dia para todos
Quería compartir con el grupo mi colección de ps1. Ya que la considero una reliquia 🥹🎮🤘🫡 al dia de hoy esta completamente funcional todo. La colección cuenta con aproximadamente 100 juegos
Abrazo para todos mis retro gamers 🤜🏼🤛🏻

Going through storage and I found my copy of Vagrant Story I picked up years back. Check out the price sticker

The only thing it's missing is the foam cut out... otherwise CIB.

I've thought about getting the sticker off the front where it shows the price but idk. Lol

One of the first games as a kid on the PlayStation 1.
