woooooooooooooooooooh

had a PS2 slim and turning it sideways or upside down sometimes helped with disk reading. why does that happen?

That help my secondhand PS2 too.

I remember when flashcart quality was measured by how well the castlevania intro player, good times

Yeah I had to do that for FF9 when I was a kid, the first disc was in terrible condition so the cut-scenes would always fuck up but opening and closing it worked a charm

>disk be scratched and can't be read by console

Why are you shitting on PC's in class?

Flying Big Smoke car like Harry Potter

I put books on top of my ps2 slim so it would detect the lid was closed and allow the laser head to come out and read the disc. Could be the same thing?
