The Playstation still doesn't read all the discs I tried quite as consistently as it did back in 1997, but I don't know if that's down to the quality/calibration of the new laser or the fact that the discs in question are 10-15 years old. I had low expectations for it, considering it only cost £7, but initial tests look promising. The simple procedure involved removing the outer casing, unplugging the power and data cables running from the disc drive to the motherboard, and switching in the new unit. One arrived well packed today, and it only took ten minutes to swap the disc drive over. Fortunately, at least one seller on eBay is a China-based company that manufactures replicas of the original units. Hopefully it will work on this v13, but I won't be surprised if it doesn't (just annoyed).Īs for the new PS1 drive, I've seen replacement laser pickups/disc drive on sale before, but had heard that they were just yanked out of broken second-hand consoles.

I've heard conflicting reports about that game not working on some models of PS2, but I know it worked on my v12 before the mod chip died. Second because one of the main games I want it for is Xenosaga Episode 1, one of the few PS2 games that doesn't work with a boot disc, due to being on a DVD9.
First because it uses the same model power brick as my PAL 70003 (v12).
I went with the earlier model for a couple of reasons. In the end I decided on a belt-and-braces approach, so I bought a new PS1 laser pickup/disc drive as well as a used SCPH-70001 (I think that's a v13) PS2 on eBay. Of course, the internal power supply models are lighter still.

On the other hand, the new format of the 90000 series is sexy enough.įrom what I've read, the 77000 series might be a good compromise between having a lighter system (lighter than earlier slims) while still having the power brick external. Personally, I like both - but I appreciate how the 75000 series hides scratches well. Overall I'd the 90000 series has cleaner (or harsher) lines and looks more monolithic. There's now a checkerboard pattern along one of the sides, and the vents at the front of the 75000 series (under the PlayStation logo, as seen when the unit is laid flat) and back are gone, with instead an unobtrusive vent along the left and right sides of the unit (which would be facing the top and bottom, if the unit is placed on the vertical stand). The 90000 series slims really have a new style entirely. You see ridges like that along the back and the sides, though they are "flat" and not rounded like on the 70000/75000 series. The key is along the front view: There are three ridges along the front - here there is just a gap between the top lid and the rest of the body. That's just the 90000 style styling, which is different from the "PS2 fat-like" styling of the original slim.

Are there any devices that enable manual horizontal shifting, and input and output RGB-SCART (preferably that aren't too expensive)?Īny information appreciated.

There's no way to fix this on my TV via the normal menus, and I don't want to risk screwing around in the service menu when I don't know what I'm doing.
PAL games are centred properly, but for NTSC the image is about an inch to the left, chopping off the left 10% of the image. The Slim has an external power brick, so am I right in thinking that all I would need is the power brick and plug from a UK PS2 Slim (which I already have), and I'd be okay to plug the US console into a 240V mains socket without needing a step-down converter? Also, does the NTSC PS2 have the same video output socket as the PAL one? Would I be able to use the same SCART cable as with my PAL PS1 and PS2?Īnother issue I've had with my PS1 since I switched to a flatscreen TV (Panasonic 元7G20) is that the horizontal hold goes out of alignment for NTSC games via RGB-SCART. Option 2 is to import a new PS2 Slim from America. I could potentially be throwing away money on one or more consoles that are as worn out as my current one. I can then cannibalise its disc drive for the modded console, and hope it's in better condition than the one I already have. Option 1 is to play eBay roulette by buying a used PS1 of the same model. I've tried PC-based emulators like psX and ePSXe, and have been disappointed in the results in some of my favourite games.Īs I see it, that leaves me with two options. I keep my discs pristine, but it's now reached the point where some of my US imports won't load, no matter what angle I tip the console to or how many times I adjust the pot. The laser in my modded PAL PS1 has been dying a slow death for years.
