Are we praying that the disc loads, or are we praying along with the holy sounds that were the PlayStation startup sounds?
Praying the burned import disc boots up, probably.
Yes
Or praying the space ship flies true.
I remember there was an Easter egg but I can’t recall if it was related to no disc and then loading an audio cd or something else. You’d have a small space ship flying around and towards and away from the screen almost like a screensaver.
It’s been almost 30 years though so I’m a little hazy on the details.
It’s bugging me that I can’t find it online anywhere.
🙏Thoughts and prayers 🙏

How did i get chills listening a gif?
The worst was if it was a multi disc game and the broken disc was the last one. You’re invested, excited to see how the story ends, ready to smash Sephiroth’s face in, and it all grinds to a halt.
The heavy bass effect that blew out my dad’s surround sound subwoofer amp due to me maxxing out the low frequency gain from the PS1 startup tune lives rent free in my head.
Meanwhile, this sound is gut-wrenching:
Thanks now I have ptsd, worse sound every. I hated that when it happen. Question how come we never see this happen with PS3 snd above? Did they fix something or disk just made better?

Nice comic.
Used to have a copy of Wild Arms on the PSX, and there was a scratch so deep that stopped progressing past Cecilia’s intro, but man we tried.
God, Wild Arms was so good. I miss 1+2. 3 to a lesser degree.
Oh, man. This brings back memories. I did this every time I loaded any game into the system. My PS1 had issues with the balls on the disc spindle that locked the disc in place. I had no idea and had so many issues with discs not loading until I discovered it. Then it became the disc equivalent of popping the cartridge out of the SNES and re-seating it until it worked. Eventually, I had to replace the balls as they fell out but as a broke college student, I just crumpled small bits of aluminum foil into similar sized balls and stuffed them in there. Worked great after that.
I know why engiseers do what they do. I had to perform my own rituals to appease the machine spirit to run my favorite game on ps2.
Never had a problem with my PS1. My PS2, however…
It should be upside down.
My first ps1 needed to be upside down to play, ahh, the good ol’ days. Where you needed the console oriented a certain way, but at least games were a full experience and a flat price.
Man this takes me back, I used to have a faulty LAPD: Future Cop disk, which happened to be my favourite game, me and a friend used to sit in front of the TV saying “pls pls pls pls” and cheer when it worked.
Gotta flip it upside down.
adults today will never understand either, apparently.
