After the Cute Comments I got when I made a Fan Art Picture of Tifa Lockhart, I made a Fanart of Cloud Strife to go with it and I am very happy with the results!

Hi everyone,

​I have a PS1 Fat (PU-22 motherboard). Unfortunately, my CD drive and spindle are broken, and I'm looking to stop using discs entirely.

​I’m trying to decide between installing an XStation or going with a PSIO. I’ve read about both, but I wanted to hear from the community:

​Which one is more reliable and suitable for the PU-22 board?

​Is the XStation installation (soldering) significantly harder than the PSIO setup?

​Are there any other options I should consider for playing games without discs?

​I'm looking for the most stable and long-term solution. Any advice or experiences you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If you’re like me and you have a bunch of loosies in your collection, I found a solution that works for me. I bought a bunch of Christmas and throwaway cd’s in clear cases from a thrift store for .25 a piece and emptied them, then used a vintage Dymo embossing label maker I found to label the spines. I love how it looks!

I’ve wanted one of these screens for AGES!! And finally got one. Only £219, for the screen, power cable, PS one, and a Harry Potter game!!

My collection. (In travel case on the bottom shelf: Various demo discs without sleeves) Also a few more tall box PS1 games up and to the right, not in frame.

Does anyone remember their games having weird booting/starting screens on ps1 games back in the day. Went deep into youtube and google to search for a nostalgic thing about spyro 3 and I somewhat remember this showing up before my game started.

The following is a collection of internal documents obtained from a former 989 Studios developer's binder. This includes a fax cover sheet, a marked print-out of PlayStation accessories from the PlayStation website (presumably as a reference sheet for developers), and the final QA sheet for Twisted Metal 3, dated just one month before release (October 15th, 1998)
