Sometimes a game freezes then I just open and close the disc tray and magically it starts working again, it didn't happen all the times but sometimes that did the job
I hated those blue discs (CD based games) on PS2 because they were harder for the launch PS2 to read and the games were smaller in size (reason why they were on a CD) and usually that meant they weren't top quality games.
I recently tried to fix launch ps2 because it was randomly reading only 1 of 10 games...got it so it reads ps1 and ps2 CD games every time but will not read DVD games...called it fixed and bought a Ps2 slim.
@@ikmnification5737 There were some utilities released that were stored on those smaller PS2 CD Disks. I believe that was Sony's main reason for creating them, not really for games, but for software and other utilities. Sadly, not a whole lot of that came out on the PS2, and one big notable one, Linux for the PS2, was released on a PS2 DVD. So... yeah...
@@vivisect53 Sometimes adjusting a voltage on the laser fixes the problem on all models. But you need patience and a little bit of knowledge in circuitry.

I dunno, the original official controller didn't have turbo buttons or autofire modes. I once bought a MadCatz controller to replace the OC when it stopped working that had a pretty crazy fast turbo button. I was able to max power every summon in FF VIII except the Tonberry King because of how short his summon animation was, and even then was able to get it to 52, 53% or so.
Wasn't it obvious that whoever was the owner of the console/controllers got to play with the official one? Well, at least it was for me because I was the owner and only I could play with the god damn official controller and all you peasants will use these cheap shitty ones.
Done this with spyro and the game stayed on just the audio went off and couldn't go into any other levels just the place I was already In but stayed on for as long as I wanted was so weird
Bro.... I love falcon and all.. I watch his videos quite often but THIS this is the one thing that makes me cringe. I remember the first time I heard him say "Tenku" 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮
I still remember the intro screen and sound for the PSOne. Still gives me the chills a little bit but also gives me a nostalgic feeling because this is was the console that I grew up with back in my youth going all the way back to Christmas 1998. The first games I had were Tekken 3 and Crash 2 but yeah the lineup was amazing. A lot of developers really trying hard to put their games in a console created by a company that had something to prove.
My dad bought the console about a year after it came out. To this day I still use it to play CDs and some games that he had laying around and it amazes me that the thing still works after the three times we moved across the country and to Mexico. Papa bless the Play Station.
ikr. I'm like "You mean the multi-tap?" Not trying to be rude but strangely I can't remember a single person who didn't know the name of it. Bad example.
I remember the first time I loaded a game without closing the lid on the console and a weird menu came up where I could play the soundtrack to the video game that was in the PS1. That techno soundtrack to Forsaken was dopeeee.
I never finished that game without cheat, I always stuck on the train stage. On my defense, I use cheat because my hand and eye coordination that time wasn't very much that great..
I’m glad my parents bought me and my siblings every system. I’m happy to have been able to experience these games. My favorite will still forever be the GameCube. Having 4 siblings, couch co-op was the best.
Haha Jesus I even had the code book that told me how to get Sexy Ayane and change all the dialogue to Japanese. That game was righteous. “Looksu like-uh you choose a wrong party to crass!”
I'm not a playstation fanboy, i prefer nintendo, but i must confess i'm hard-pressed to think of an intro that tops the playstation 1. i'd have to agree with you. that sounds brings back so many memories, and was always a pleasure to hear.
Man saving on the ps1 memory card was always scary back in the days especially if you live in a town where power goes out randomly from time to time. You basically brick your card and lose everything when that happens.
@@LAIRDO- Just imagine on PS5 a FULL REMAKE of Soul Reaver , with top graphics, 4k resolution, same voice actors (but re-recorded) , orchestral soundtrack.... i'd have a heart attack.
Those demos with the stealth and the dinosaur if anyone remembers including some games that i heard were actually all in there and they locked them up so you could only play a portion of them.(Not forget to mention the awesome music included with those graphic demos on those discs as well!) Te biggest loading screen also i remember was on legacy of kain,i think it was close to a minute or a little more if i remember correctly.
Now imagine having 2 younger brothers and 1 memory card between you. They'd be times we would play san andreas without saving it just to fuck around with cheats and do stupid things. Once i left school though i made sure to buy us all our own memory cards, which would later be seperate consoles.
I really wish I kept a lot of the old PlayStation magazines with the demo disc , as a kid growing up in the 90’s those magazines were the only way to keep up to date on the new exciting videos games & news . Once a month with a whole selection of games , even though water down some of em were really fun and was just good enough to play without even having the fun game . Some of em had multiple player and even though you can only do one stage and like a selection of cars / fighters or whatever , it was enough to satisfy an 6 year old kid
Dude, I was really, really poor, to the point I still could only afford for a PS1 when the PS3 came out. I never had money for more than one memory card.
8:25 oh my gosh, I miss that game so much that I forgotten the name, I miss the "you earn weapon" voice, and then I'll grin as I get my fav weapon, a rapid fire mini gun
I still remember going to the mall early on launch day to pick up my pre-ordered PS1. There weren't a lot of games and While in line I over heard that one title had run out. I quickly dashed to the other mall video game store and grabbed NBA Jam and then headed back to get my PS1 and other games I pre-ordered.
I have a model one PS1 in my living room, put a good bit of work into getting it up and running and it still runs like a champ. I pretty much always have Einhander in it ready to go.
PlayStation Underground. It was like a an interactive magazine....not only were their videos of upcoming games, but there were also downloadable game saves. Was pretty awesome IMO
so i had the ps2 before i got this so i was used to the dark ominous start up but little old me thought it was a good idea to crank up the volume when i got the ps1..... i think it caused a earthquake
Final Fantasy VII was the first PSone game I had that couldn't be completed in one sitting... I didn't have a memory card until a few weeks after buying Final Fantasy VII.
I actually didn’t know the upside down solution and the multi system link. Everything else I knew clear as day. One thing I knew of was the plug n play: it hooked onto the back of the PlayStation. Unlike a GameShark, it allowed for both burned CDs of games and Japanese versions of games to be played. And also it WAS a GameShark, ready for cheats. Only thing that was required was the lid had to be open, but the lid button on the inside had to be depressed by a toothpick or so, so the console could recognize something was inside and the lens could start scanning the CD.
Have to say I dont remember the PocketStation but I didn't live over there so there is that. I can't believe you didn't mention the fact that only the Original PS1 could play any region discs you wanted without modding the console. I used to use a mechanical pencil erasure(the one with a pin in it) to set on top of the door button and then put an extra controller on the door the keep it "closed" even though it was open. You would load a music cd in the tray, hit stop, put in your non-region disc and hit exit, bam, game would load. I remember having the Japanese version of all the Teken's before my friends were playing the NTSC versions.

I recently tried to fix launch ps2 because it was randomly reading only 1 of 10 games...got it so it reads ps1 and ps2 CD games every time but will not read DVD games...called it fixed and bought a Ps2 slim.
@@ikmnification5737 There were some utilities released that were stored on those smaller PS2 CD Disks. I believe that was Sony's main reason for creating them, not really for games, but for software and other utilities. Sadly, not a whole lot of that came out on the PS2, and one big notable one, Linux for the PS2, was released on a PS2 DVD. So... yeah...
@@vivisect53 Sometimes adjusting a voltage on the laser fixes the problem on all models. But you need patience and a little bit of knowledge in circuitry. Or simply give it to a person who is tech savy and he can fix it for you. Complete laser replacements are also cheap and easy to do and makes your PS2 or PS1 live another 10-20 years or even more depends how you actually handle your equipments.
One of my favorite features was how some games gave access to their soundtrack when using the psx as a cd player.
I never had a PS myself, but there was one at my grandad’s flat and I loved it... that launch screen was just magic!
Breaking into fights over the official controller someone had to have the odd coloured mad cats pad xD
Never talk about that
Never happen. Wasn’t a selfish brat. It’s just a controller
@@malfaroangel3896 when i say fight it does not mean fisticuffs it meant 1v1 tekken or gran turismo looser has the offbrand pad no one was selfish in my home only with one save games like certain gbc games ect and memory cards :)
I dunno, the original official controller didn't have turbo buttons or autofire modes. I once bought a MadCatz controller to replace the OC when it stopped working that had a pretty crazy fast turbo button. I was able to max power every summon in FF VIII except the Tonberry King because of how short his summon animation was, and even then was able to get it to 52, 53% or so.
Wasn't it obvious that whoever was the owner of the console/controllers got to play with the official one? Well, at least it was for me because I was the owner and only I could play with the god damn official controller and all you peasants will use these cheap shitty ones.
Anyone remember having to replay the tutorial mission for driver and it being the hardest part of the game
MRxBBOX my cus hateded one of the missions in that game i forget lol
That game was my childhood! Still to this day beats many many car handling models. Truly was ahead of it’s time!
Lol it took me forever to get past that
Damn right! I spent a third of the time trying to get out of that damned parking garage!!
You obviously never played the last mission!
I wish I still had that cd case :'( Even as a child, after 5 years of finding it again, it was so nostalgic... And that was probably 15 years ago :'(
That startup sound used to creep me out as a kid 😂. Especially when I was home alone or playing at night
Good ole tenku. One of my faves, right behind tenchu
😂
😅
I was like "did he really just say tenku?!"
Maybe he meant Techen (Tekken)
Yeah, had me thinking that I've been pronouncing the word wrong my whole life
As a previous PSone owner, I approve.
B...b...BOSS
PS1 or PSX?
Dide you missed the faint fear of the ps1 getting stuck in the ps logo, after the Sony sound
What I remember most about ps1 was “Disc Swapping”. Anyone experience this???
Hell yeah.
It was great on how they did that, also annoying, if you don't have the other disk
Done this with spyro and the game stayed on just the audio went off and couldn't go into any other levels just the place I was already In but stayed on for as long as I wanted was so weird
I've heard of Tenchu, but I haven't heard of Tenku. I should look for it!
I know right wtf was that
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Lollllllllll
Bro.... I love falcon and all.. I watch his videos quite often but THIS this is the one thing that makes me cringe. I remember the first time I heard him say "Tenku" 🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@mr.nobody5140 I believe they're saying it ironically lol
"Let's be real, the 1990s was a time when a lot of people were growing up." Let's be real, this statement sounds a lot better on paper than out loud.
Name one decade in which this statement does not apply. I neither sounds good on paper nor out loud.
Omg I loved the startup sounds mannnn an I still have my cd case
I still remember the intro screen and sound for the PSOne. Still gives me the chills a little bit but also gives me a nostalgic feeling because this is was the console that I grew up with back in my youth going all the way back to Christmas 1998. The first games I had were Tekken 3 and Crash 2 but yeah the lineup was amazing. A lot of developers really trying hard to put their games in a console created by a company that had something to prove.
Tekken 3 and Gran Turismo on PS1....good times
Still playing Tekken 3 on Psp. 😎
I’ve still never played Gran Turismo but Tekken 3 was and arguably still is amazing
Aww man spring of 98’ the memories
@@VampiresDarkCreed keep it going man
Have you ever play jared & labonte stock car game? Your car can get destroyed.
Dude seriously! Its Ten-Chu, TENCHU!
Swear he’s doing this on purpose...
He prolly siad it right nonchalantly in a video about Sekiro, despite butchering it horribly here XD
I was gonna say, I thought I was saying it wrong all my life after he said that 😂
Please forgive the nostalgic falcon... But yeah. He said it weird. 😔
Same tenchu (ten-chew)
Awesome game I was fucking obsessed, what other game comes with a create your own levels (with cheats enabled)
Id even accept Ten-shoe.
I remember when I was a kid, I used to play Legend of Legaia on my ps1. Can't forget about it. It's still loading today.
I can confirm, most of these are accurate. My PlayStation has to be turned upside down until I got a new one😂
My dad bought the console about a year after it came out.
To this day I still use it to play CDs and some games that he had laying around and it amazes me that the thing still works after the three times we moved across the country and to Mexico.
Papa bless the Play Station.
Not sure where you heard that one bro, but no one called the multi-tap the "thing".
NO ONE EVER!
ikr. I'm like "You mean the multi-tap?" Not trying to be rude but strangely I can't remember a single person who didn't know the name of it. Bad example.
I think we called it the multifucker in my circle.
Yea I agree never heard it called that until this video
Leaving it on for as long as possible...
Until parents realized...
Then starting all over again...
Rinse and repeat.
I remember the first time I loaded a game without closing the lid on the console and a weird menu came up where I could play the soundtrack to the video game that was in the PS1. That techno soundtrack to Forsaken was dopeeee.
"The thing" is called a multitap. There was one for PS2 as well.
I had two so I could play 6 player games hahaha. I always thought it was weird that with the multitap, and you could only have 5 players.
"The thing" was not exclusive to playstation either. NES, SNES, Genesis, and Saturn all had their own versions.
I have both things. Ps1 and 2
Still have 4 multitaps
Time Splitters on multi tap...good times
Jackie Chan - Stuntmaster is still a great game
Such an underrated gem played it like a year ago and loved it!
@@MrTerrorzone2012 Agreed dude, it was a highlight of my younger years, and it still has me playing years later!
I never finished that game without cheat, I always stuck on the train stage.
On my defense, I use cheat because my hand and eye coordination that time wasn't very much that great..
Oh fuck..good thing I saw your comment. I never finished that game as a child cause I keep dying somewhere at the pier o port area I think
Myers omg yes!
I’m glad my parents bought me and my siblings every system. I’m happy to have been able to experience these games. My favorite will still forever be the GameCube. Having 4 siblings, couch co-op was the best.
This is probably your best video 😆 oh man so many memories
The CD player function always astonished me when I discovered it. I thought I was soo cool listening to Deftones on my Playstation 😅.
Adrenaline? Or around the fur?
@@popeizzy2012 When Deftones was good !
@@popeizzy2012 Around the Fur. Even though Saturday Night Wrist and Self-titled are my favorites.
Twisted metal 2, crash bandicoot, need for speed 2... ah the memories
So many good games on that console...
Haven't thought about twisted metal in a very long time, thank you
Oh that twisted metal 🔥🔥🔥
Loved that twisted metal, think it was 2 anyway been ages
The 1 with spectere
RAMPAGE!
Who remembers the 8mb memory card? Had loads more than 15 blocks for saving, also the loading time for Driver too hours, literally
You nailed them all but i will say being able to listen to music and having an onscreen controller was also pretty awesome.
The blasphemy! Tell me you didn't just say Tengku? It's TenCHU!
And they call this a gaming channel.
HA, I was about post "things I remember...how to pronounce tenchu"
Haha Jesus I even had the code book that told me how to get Sexy Ayane and change all the dialogue to Japanese. That game was righteous.
“Looksu like-uh you choose a wrong party to crass!”
Best opening audio of any console ever!
I'm not a playstation fanboy, i prefer nintendo, but i must confess i'm hard-pressed to think of an intro that tops the playstation 1. i'd have to agree with you. that sounds brings back so many memories, and was always a pleasure to hear.
The thing I miss most is the screen graphics (dancing colors) during cd music playback. PS2 didn't even have that.
Great video.
Man saving on the ps1 memory card was always scary back in the days especially if you live in a town where power goes out randomly from time to time. You basically brick your card and lose everything when that happens.
Mention of legacy of Kain made me love this video :)
Me too, but Resident Evil 2 even more so. 😃
Soul Reaver is probably my favorite game of all time, on ANY console. I'd pay top dollar for AAA HD remake!!
@@LAIRDO- Just imagine on PS5 a FULL REMAKE of Soul Reaver , with top graphics, 4k resolution, same voice actors (but re-recorded) , orchestral soundtrack.... i'd have a heart attack.
@@ianluzdub No doubt!! I'm always surprised by how many people don't even know of this game. It's a masterpiece in my opinion.
@@LAIRDO- it surely is. I don't lose hope. Someday we'll see Raziel in HD graphics.
I miss this console, such a great time to game
"Miss" lol
Just buy one
I get headaches playing it now, but still love it !
@@cjt2k hell yeah, I have a soft spot it was my first console
my fix to the worn inner ring was a small piece of tape.just the added thickness of the tape helped pretty reliably.
Those demos with the stealth and the dinosaur if anyone remembers including some games that i heard were actually all in there and they locked them up so you could only play a portion of them.(Not forget to mention the awesome music included with those graphic demos on those discs as well!) Te biggest loading screen also i remember was on legacy of kain,i think it was close to a minute or a little more if i remember correctly.
when you lost you 1KB memory card and you play the same mission everyday on ridge racer 4
It's astonishing how many saves could be saved onto such a tiny amount of space
Never had one.
Me needing my own memory card for my saved cause my brothers sports games would take up 14/15 blocks.
Now imagine having 2 younger brothers and 1 memory card between you. They'd be times we would play san andreas without saving it just to fuck around with cheats and do stupid things. Once i left school though i made sure to buy us all our own memory cards, which would later be seperate consoles.
How many MB was ps1 memory?
@@oneshotkid9889 15 KILO bytes, no megabytes with the PS1 memory card
@@denzelgist6922 Oh dear god!! Now we have like 1GB, and still not enough.
Crystal Walker exactly! And my brothers jacked all the space since I was the youngest! 😂
Collecting demo discs should have been here imo.
Played way more demos than full games personally. That sweet sweet demo menu music.
I really wish I kept a lot of the old PlayStation magazines with the demo disc , as a kid growing up in the 90’s those magazines were the only way to keep up to date on the new exciting videos games & news . Once a month with a whole selection of games , even though water down some of em were really fun and was just good enough to play without even having the fun game . Some of em had multiple player and even though you can only do one stage and like a selection of cars / fighters or whatever , it was enough to satisfy an 6 year old kid
Talks about the great PS1 games. Doesn't mention Metal Gear Solid. SMH
frbru88 right!
Good point.
exactly
I was about to say that.
Because It sucked
How about having too much memory card that you can't find your save file for the game your playing cause you can't find the right memory card.
Thats why you properly labeled every single one. Something simple like just putting a genre on it.
Too much memory card
I used to stick masking tapes to them and write the name of the games
Dude, I was really, really poor, to the point I still could only afford for a PS1 when the PS3 came out.
I never had money for more than one memory card.
Dayumn... you's was rich boi 😁!!!
8:25 oh my gosh, I miss that game so much that I forgotten the name, I miss the "you earn weapon" voice, and then I'll grin as I get my fav weapon, a rapid fire mini gun
I still remember going to the mall early on launch day to pick up my pre-ordered PS1. There weren't a lot of games and While in line I over heard that one title had run out. I quickly dashed to the other mall video game store and grabbed NBA Jam and then headed back to get my PS1 and other games I pre-ordered.
PS1 has the greatest opening screen sound
For me, it's tied with the PS2 startup sound. Both are fantastic pieces of nostalgia.
Ps2 wins
Richard Borts bwwwwwwaaaaaaaaa.
vwoom
PS1 is the goat for opening sequence. It sounds like the heaven of gaming is opening its doors for you, powerfully awesome and there's 2 parts.
Playing MTV music generator with my tv off and just headphones in my boombox so I could make music past bedtime LoL
I have a model one PS1 in my living room, put a good bit of work into getting it up and running and it still runs like a champ. I pretty much always have Einhander in it ready to go.
PlayStation Underground. It was like a an interactive magazine....not only were their videos of upcoming games, but there were also downloadable game saves. Was pretty awesome IMO
Ps1 Start screen hit me back like a truck. So nostalgia.
so i had the ps2 before i got this so i was used to the dark ominous start up but little old me thought it was a good idea to crank up the volume when i got the ps1..... i think it caused a earthquake
What a flashback... final fantasy 7 was my first ps1 game... thanks for the trip to memory lane guys!
FF VII was when I first heard about Final Fantasy, and now it's one of my favorite series of all time.
Final Fantasy VII was the first PSone game I had that couldn't be completed in one sitting... I didn't have a memory card until a few weeks after buying Final Fantasy VII.
I actually didn’t know the upside down solution and the multi system link. Everything else I knew clear as day.
One thing I knew of was the plug n play: it hooked onto the back of the PlayStation. Unlike a GameShark, it allowed for both burned CDs of games and Japanese versions of games to be played. And also it WAS a GameShark, ready for cheats. Only thing that was required was the lid had to be open, but the lid button on the inside had to be depressed by a toothpick or so, so the console could recognize something was inside and the lens could start scanning the CD.
Have to say I dont remember the PocketStation but I didn't live over there so there is that.
I can't believe you didn't mention the fact that only the Original PS1 could play any region discs you wanted without modding the console. I used to use a mechanical pencil erasure(the one with a pin in it) to set on top of the door button and then put an extra controller on the door the keep it "closed" even though it was open. You would load a music cd in the tray, hit stop, put in your non-region disc and hit exit, bam, game would load.
I remember having the Japanese version of all the Teken's before my friends were playing the NTSC versions.
