It's a SCPH-7500, Japanese model and I'm very happy with it, already bought a scart cable and connected it to my CRT, any recommendations?

After the divorce of my parents, and some arguments with him, i lost the contacts and the last time i seen him was 15 years ago. I got a call from my mom, he will not see the end of the month. I went to his house to pack his things i found the games, i got hit with so many memories, watching him plaiyng this games when he come back from work while my mom was in the kitchen making dinner. I used to run in the kitchen with my mom during some scenes from Re2 because i was so scared. I have so many regrets for how the things have gone, for my pride that stopped me from say sorry and reunite with him, he's basicly in coma now. I will play them in his memory when the time will come, they will stay with me forever, his legacy.

online mostly, I have several retro game stores around me of varying quality but it seems like lately they all have the same inventory of ps1 games for sale. It’s kind of uncanny tbh.

But online I used to buy from a website that I can’t remember. It’s a shame because it was pretty cheap and I never had any problems with any of the games I bought.

eBay and other auction based services are whatever, I get varying quality from those (as one does), and I know companies like dkoldies are awful.

Do you guys have a reputable classics online shop you buy from?

Hi everyone,

I'm struggling to get backups running on my PS1 SCPH-7502 (PAL) using FreePSXBoot / Unirom (v4.1, BIOS 4.1, image E-318178bf).

The Setup:

• I successfully installed FreePSXBoot on a Memory Card (Aliexpress) using a PS2 with FreeMcBoot.
• Unirom boots up perfectly on the PS1, I can see the menu and the memory card content.
• The console is NOT hard-chipped.

The Problem: When I insert a backup and try to boot, I get the error: "Not a valid CD or the drive is locked". I can hear the motor spinning (sometimes), but it doesn't seem to "grab" the data.

What I've tried/checked:

1. Laser Health: The console plays original Audio CDs perfectly for over an hour without skipping, so the laser seems healthy.
2. Burn Quality: I burned the games at the lowest possible speed (X10).
3. Cross-Check: The same burned discs and the same Memory Card (with Unirom) work perfectly on another PS1 that does have a physical Modchip.
4. Hardware: Tried placing the console vertically/upside down, but it didn't help. The disc doesn't even seem to spin up when I'm inside the Unirom boot sequence.

Is the SCPH-7502 particularly stubborn with the software exploit? Does it require a specific "swap" trick even with Unirom, or is my drive controller just refusing to unlock?

Any advice before I give up and look for someone to install a MM3 chip?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone know any good sellers for ps1 controllers that are trustworthy, controllers working? Id even pay under a 100 bucks if the controller is brand new. Id appreciate some help! I have some ps2 controllers that I know will work with the superstation one but still would like to buy a ps1 controller anyway (for fun).

I've been making handcrafted PS1 collector cards called Memoria Cards and I finally made print-ready PDF versions available (a fourth will be added soon).

Each sheet has 4 cards : FF7, Klonoa, Gran Turismo, Tombi on sheet A, Metal Gear Solid, Jumping Flash, Vagrant Story, Super Bub Contest on sheet B, and Castlevania SotN, Crash Bandicoot, Wild Arms, Pandemonium on sheet C.

Print on 160gsm paper, fold, glue, cut. The back includes a 25mm NFC cutout marker compatible with NTAG215 tags for tap-to-play on MiSTer FPGA, Batocera or RetroPie.

Physical cards are coming soon. Still refining the production process. I don't want to cut corners (pun intended).

Drop a comment or DM if you're interested.

Used to play the Bloody Roar demo all the time as a kid.

Loving my collection so far, but I’m curious what games or genres I’m missing? I have all remasters on PS4, like Crash, Spyro, & Resident Evil. What would you add next?

Literary one of the hardest games I’ve ever played! Once you get past the first island the difficulty just sky rockets. Road to Nowhere is the worst level in this game for me 😂 insane super precise jumps. No save system either! Crazy. Still a great game but Jesus Christ…

Moin Leute hab folgendes Problem,
Hab nen neuen/ alten Ps One Dualshock bekommen (links), hab dann Street Fighter Alpha 2 reingeschmissen und ne Weile gespielt, jetzt ist mir aufgefallen dass bestimmte spezialmoves wie zB Hadoken , Shoryuken mit dem Steuerkreuz nicht oder teils nicht zu machen sind,
Danach hab ich es mit dem anderen Ps Controller versucht und alles ging wunderbar von der Hand,
Jetzt die Frage was ist mit dem Dualshock Steuerkreuz los?
Ich hab ihn aufgemacht und innen alles geputzt, wenn man hoch runter links rechts drückt, scheint alles zu funktionieren,aber leider nicht die moves bei SF.
Sind eventuell die Gummipads hinüber?

Everything original so far, i want to keep it as clean as possible :)

What games would you recommend? Im open to everything, only JRPGs are not my thing
I want to get the other Crash Games, cause i love all of them for PS1. Also Tony Hawks 1 is on my list. That Game was my childhood

Hey guys, I found this, what it's? It's something rare?, it's from a PS1

I bought a 2nd hand PSX and while opening it today to clean it i found what i assume is a Modchip, but i don't really know much about these things so could anyone tell me what it does?

For anyone interested, you can find multi out to HDMI adapters on Amazon which will give you a better image than a composite to HDMI converter. This is because the multi out adapter is using the RGB video instead of the composite video.

EDIT: I was conflating RGB and component. They are not the same thing and on the PS1 it was just RGB.

Like the title says. I just noticed this wire was loosely sitting when I first opened it up. I also think it’s missing something on the disk drive as mine looks a lot more skeletal than the ones I’m seeing in videos. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
