PS1/PS2 Games - Thread

I don't know bro. Don't you get tired of playing Bloodborne and watching Until Dawn over and over again?

Not sure how much help I can be (I have a fat model one; keep mine horizontal as well), but is it just certain games its doing that to, or just about any one? I've heard that stuff like DVD-9 games can be a bit hard on the actual system, though that might be more on wearing the laser than the discs themselves getting damaged.

Still plenty of older stuff on my backlog I'm getting around to playing for the first time.

First version of X-Zone.

These games were a fucking blast to play

Have to admit, that game's opening was really damn good.

Ah, Xenosaga
I'll probably just end up watching a playtrough on youtube.

Or you just get lucky like me and find Episode III for a cheap $13 or so. At least, I assume that might be the one you're having issues finding; Xenosaga Episodes I and II should be pretty cheap if you have an actual PS2 to play them on.

Still baffles me that PAL only got episode II.

I'll probably emulate those once I get a decent PC. I heard emulating is actually a better experience anyway because the loading times are horrible on an actual PS2.

As far as I can tell it's any game. I looked it up a bit and apparently I needed to press the ribbon cable inside the unit down, but it didn't seem to last long (unless I did it wrong).

If it needs to remain pressed down, why not look into something adhesive for electronic use to hold it in position? Though you might want to wait until someone else gives more proper information on that; I've had no experience with needing to do so.
