The good news is that the cards hold a LOT of game saves. Did Sony make a black ps1? Why was the ps1 disc black? Those of us that can clearly remember when the PS1 first launched are feeling positively ancient now that talk of the PlayStation 5 is in full swing. What do we do when we start feeling old? Regaling the young whippersnappers about how things were "Back in our day. Okay, so it probably won't impress them, but it'll certainly make you happy to remember— or learn for the first time— these fascinating bits about the console that took the PlayStation brand from scrappy underdog to industry leader in just a few short years.
There was a time when anything with a disc drive automatically played audio CDs by default. Now, the concept of listening to music via physical media is so niche that modern game systems don't even play CDs anymore. But the PS1 certainly did— and not only that, but it was awesome at it. The original model in particular is still considered one of the best CD players ever made, so much so that many audiophiles build custom stereo systems around it and use it to test the quality of their set-ups.
The four symbols on the face buttons of every iteration of PlayStation controller have come to symbolize the entire brand, but they all originally had a purpose beyond just breaking from the tradition of letter-based button labeling.
The square is supposed to look like a book or page, with that equating to a menu button. But what far fewer people know is that Sony tried to team up with another gaming giant before ultimately deciding to go it alone and make video game history. If Nintendo didn't want to work with them, Sony thought, why not hook up with Nintendo's biggest rival at the time?
And so Sony approached none other than Sega to see if they wanted to collaborate on the PS1. They obviously said no A lot of people assumed Crash Bandicoot was the PS1's mascot, since tradition up to that point dictated that a console's biggest platform game star usually took on that role.
In fact, Crash wasn't even technically a Sony property, instead owned by Universal Interactive— which then became Vivendi Games, and eventually folded into Activision. So who was the PS1's mascot? Sweet Tooth? There is actually another reason why Crash would've never been in the running to be a PS1 mascot. Black; made in the factory, silver; a burned disc. The geniuses at Sony also thought that it would make CD ripping more difficult and that the black coating would somehow interfere with the ripping process….
The theory is that dust accumulation on the spindle causes slippage when spinning the blue discs, which either are thinner or spin faster than the DVD discs silver games.
I do think the grinding sound is just the disc spinning freely in the drive when it tries to start it. Any help is much appreciated.
