Yes, I know that the time of the PlayStation 1 is over now, but there are secrets that are starting to reveal themselves to us now, especially we are the generation of the nineties, that may have saved us a lot of time, effort and money.

This trick, which was discovered by some users, was a radical and safe solution to not running new games that sometimes get stuck on the colorful PlayStation logo screen.

This problem is that when you put the game disc into the PlayStation 1 and then turn on the device, and although the disc is clean and scratch-free, the game freezes on the PlayStation II logo. Of course, there were fierce attempts to solve the problem, including trying to clean the disc or even using a special liquid to clean the eye of the disc reader lens, but we could not find a solution at that time.

Now, after more than 26 years, we have managed to figure out the solution to this problem and it is simply turning the PlayStation 1 upside down. In other words, having the device sit on the disc drive hood, as you will see below.

When you do this movement and then turn on the device, you will notice that the disc was read successfully and the game started working without problems.

What happens when you turn the PlayStation 1 this way?

Its interpretation can be simple for electronics experts, as the idea depends mainly on reducing the distance between the eye of the reading lens and the surface of the CD when rotating the device. This makes the reading of the tracks on the surface of the disk precise and continuous without any interruption.

This problem can also be solved technically by having a specialist work to rebalance the reading lens using the balancing screws located below it, where through a precise movement he can reset the height of the lens so that it is closer to the surface of the disc and makes the reading process easy and accurate.

Of course, you won't experience this movement because, quite simply, who among us owns a PlayStation 1 device by now and if so, you might not have discs to play it on the device.

Another secret that one of the players discovered is related to the device's dedicated memory card, through which progress points from a series of games can be saved. In addition, by accessing this memory unit, it is possible to copy or delete saved files from it to free up space for other games, but what if you accidentally delete a saved file?

Some think it's over and they will have to start playing again, but here is this surprise we got after more than 26 years, you can quickly recover the deleted file and at the same time find the solution here.
