Are we praying that the disc loads, or are we praying along with the holy sounds that were the PlayStation startup sounds?
Praying the disc loads. That second screen only shows if it’s successful.
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 🙏
I will never forget the boot up sound of the ps1 lol. That shit is a core memory
EDIT: I found my favorite PS1 animation helping out below! HERE it is!
I have all of the retro consoles boot animations that people were cool enough to switch up into a Steam Deck boot animations I also have the plugin for deck tools that allows you to get a random one after each reboot. Needless to say, I never get tired of hearing the old OG Gameboy, PS1/2, GameCube, etc. boot animations and sounds. Core memories indeed!
How did you get them? I would love that for my deck lol.
Here you go!
Animation Changer (I recommend just following the install guide for Decky Loader, opening the plugins shop from the side menu, and then finding the Animation Changer plugin. I just included this link so you would know what to look for, and to see some of the dope ass animations people have been kind enough to share.)
Happy hunting! If you don’t know, you can also install CSS themes, change the background noise and UI audio elements too! I’ve got mine with a Fallout (Blue) theme, sounds from the Pipboy for navigating the menus, and most of the retro console boot animations. :)
Nice!! Thanks! I have something to do Saturday morning before everyone gets up lol.
That was borderline orgasmic. I hadn’t heard that intro in a very long time
Vegeta and Pikachu don’t care

Some PS1 and 2 just had shitty laser assemblies that had trouble reading even non scratched discs.
Rentals and used games had no such guarantee.

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.
I knew on your first sentence you were talking about FF7. Had to borrow a friend’s third disk.
“Praise The Omnissiah! The Machine Spirit lives!”
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.
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?
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.
At the end of my playstation 1’s lifecycle, i had to give the disc a pre spin and sometimes turning it upside down helped too
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.
LAPD: Future Cop
Oh man, I had a demo of this game, this brings back memories.
For me it’s the “Seeegaaaa” and then a small prayer hoping that the Sonic cartridge is properly inserted.
