CastletonSnob Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 The other day, I bought an original Gray Playstation from a game store. On my new (New to me) PS1, I keep getting the "Memory Card/CD Player" screen, even though my discs aren't that scratched. Could it just be the age of the console?

chakoo Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Check the Laser, also what model is the unit? You could try flipping it upside down if it's an early gen model (pre SCPH-5000). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Still would be better if you modded it with an xstation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
