/vr/ - Retro Games

:/ my ps2 can't read a lot discs anymore. It probably will read some PS1 games, but I recall black discs would usually fail in later years. (this is a playstation black disc!) More recently I tried to clean out the laser, took it apart entirely and cleaned all of the extra lenses inside and out with alcohol and put them all back together. As well as recalibrated the laser by painstakingly turning the gears one little click at a time til it was detecting the games I knew WOULD work vs the one I was trying to play (Xenosaga).

Anyway the end result was no success. I'll probably have to replace some parts entirely, which is a shame because the console has a lot of sentimental value for me.
