Most ps1 games are rarely more than 10 seconds. It reaches the point of being physically improbable to have issues filling up the memory with the read speed of the drive. Issues past that are down to aging hardware or mishandled media. ODEs eliminate this as variables entirely. There however is no fix for the n64s terrible library.

It's buttons were overly personalized. You'd not play with that controller for a game other than a gamecube game. It'd be too disorienting.

No they didn't, the Z button on games that used the Analogue stick acted as the L button. So if you held the controller properly and not like a brain dead gimp then there's no problem.

Guess what, I grew up with PS1, N64 and Saturn. I enjoyed N64 and Saturn more than PS1 as a whole. Sorry you had a shitty childhood and only had to pick 1 console, probably had to play a lot of shovelware too.
But to be fair, I don't think you were even alive or conscious back then, probably a 6th gen/7th gen kid doing retrospective console war LARP.
