Well it's been 25 years. That's like 175 in dog years so i'd call this playstation ancient. A sacred artifact of long forgone times even. Playstation 5 is on it's way so this is its great-great-grandfather. I guess 'console generations' as we know them, won't be around for much longer. Aight imma stop rubbing it in...
When the AI finally takes over the planet, they are going to look back at this video and give this man a medal of honor for saving so many machine lives.
One of these days OT is going to pull out an atari covered in old blood and entrails and be like "Someone put this in the closet and forgot about it for a while"
i would totally give him my ps1 wich is from exactly 1994? now it just causes scratches on the disk and had to stop using it but it still works, no idea what to do with it now
Its exactly the meme Console: hidden on a random, extremely moist and dusty cardboard box near a patch of mold in someone's attic/basement. Last time they've seen action was a decade or more ago, they dont know anymore. Time is but a loose feeling when 2/3 of your frame is covered in yellow and dust, your disc drive is barely moving and your laser no longer shines like it used to. The console is ready to accept fate, it has already embraced it, actually, but then.. Odd Tinkering: Come, this is no place for you to die.
I remember playing games while I was grounded, and I ended up putting a pillow over the console to shut it up because it was so loud. Miraculously, the console didn't overheat.
@@jeiku5041 Omg...so many fond.memories......a lot of us were forbidden to play at one point in their lives :) I remembering trying to finish Syphon Filter because I was near the end and couldn't wait, but my parents explicitly forbade me from playing.

@@AlexandrosManiatis-tq4sb I was wondering if i should get my kid a PS1 like i did or if should i stick with the times and be like other parents and get the newest thing that came out
Haha. This happens in a shed or garage if you have any source of dust in there. Whish is why I make these console videos in different place than my other videos

Good to see! I never liked how people throw away electronics after they stop working or have slight issues, instead of trying to find the problem and fix it. Mostly it's just small things and 90% can be fixed. And even if not, if you have taken it apart and learned something from it for future, thats good too.
These videos make me remember the time I got an old third party N64 controller from a charity shop, with a clear shell that was disgusting inside, and I spent the evening on the living room floor with screwdrivers, cotton buds and soapy water and I meticulously cleaned out the shell. Nothing like a full proper restoration, but this makes me want to see if I could find and restore even more.

@@mitcentauri6237 Me too, i would have tried to keep it, it gives extra functionality and its probably easier to run your own copies of games since PSX discs are probably hard to find in good condition anyway.
@@DauragonC.Mikado Of course. There was a portable version of Mark I (the first computer ever built) in the 50s but you needed a trailer to move it around
That was by FAR the dirtiest console I've watched him repair. That thing was SHEDDING dirt just by existing! 🤢 Incredible work as always. I sorta doubted that one could be saved!
Comment section be like: “ The previous owner is having major issues...” “The previous owner probably lived under a rock, cave, or a swamp!” *Plot twist: The guy repairing it is the original owner.*
I've read of creators of this kind of content ruining items on purpose just to repair them on video. Well, idk if it's the case or not but that amount of filth in that PlayStation is just... Unlikely. Imo the charm behind this type of content lies, not only in the skill and love for the craft of the one restoring the item but also in the story behind it and how it got to its ruined state. Even when not much info is given regarding how and why the item got ruined in the first place one can always wonder. Said charm will certain be lost if the uploader just 'makes up' these ruined items just for the sake of having content to upload. I hope it's not the case, although unlikely given the state of that console
I remember the mod chip. It turned Blockbuster into my discount video game store. It also justified the purchase of a CD-R drive back in the day. Also, I like statutes of limitations.
Watching the disassembly, I was getting all nostalgic about installing mods for pocket money as a kid. Then he lifts the upper tray and there's that mod install. Wish we had footage from that. Still got the Plextor, 2x write. Runs like new. Hard to beat for ripping damaged CDs.
Yeah i'd like to see how you repair a PS4 which is insanely complicated and not meant to be repaired. Sony doesn't make replacement parts, this is the reason why even finding a belt for a cassette walkman is tricky. Can't repair electronics if nobody makes parts for them.
It's happening more and more with older hardware from 80-90's *especially* gaming consoles. People used to throw them away but there are only so many left out there that people are starting to take better care of what they have.
9:16 Wow, this is hands down one of the best restoration videos I’ve seen! Your attention to detail and passion for preserving these vintage consoles really shines through. Keep up the great work!
@@AlexS-oj8qf That's not dust. I don't know about your place, but I have over 30 year old electronics in mine and they don't look like they've spent any time in the ditch. This PS1 looks like it's been stored with oily and rusty tools or something.
@@AlexS-oj8qf if you have brown dust in your home you are a filthy person dust is primarily grey as its a collection of all types of skin cells and dirt it tends to turn brown when it is rotting 10 years after the fact
Home to resident evil my first girlfriend ever bought this for me♥️ Final doom♥️the transition from the mega drive to 3d gameing was truly unique BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE. I love watching the care U give to these machines so many memories.
Good work, though I don't approve of removing the modchip unless it's being replaced with a different mod despite how ghetto it looks lol. Real game discs are old, expensive, and not always guaranteed to work due to scratches or disc rot, and the ability to play backups is very valuable for disc-based consoles imo
OKAY... I didn't, because long story short version: Rockstar technically wasn't a developer then. They were a publisher. I say technically because at the time they did work on one "game"... for Microsoft Windows. And it wasn't even a game, it was an expansion pack! They published less titles for the PS1 than they did for the Game Boy Color! In fact, Rockstar wouldn't be a full time developer and gain the fanbase they have until they acquired DMA Design, the creators of Grand Theft Auto, in 1998 and published GTA3 in 2001. DMA then had their name changed from DMA Design to Rockstar North... now they were a developer, and could publish and develop games, thus making them the Rockstar we know and love today. THAT is when Rockstar became a household name. SO WHY THE FUCK IS THERE A ROCKSTAR LOGO ON THE PLAYSTATION? THAT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE!
@@ww2historicanimation247 Yay, insults! Maybe you want to tone it down? He didn't even asked your opinion, to be fair. And by the way, I'm not asking yours either, and I don't care what you think.
Ww2 Historic toys So if something would to be vintage it requires to be at least 50 years old? Going by your logic then the NES which, released in NA in 1985 isn’t a vintage console.
Pure nostalgia, this is man. No one can ever compare the feelings you get from hearing that PS1 Intro, and remembering your childhood, and the good times. Still glad I still have and play on my PS1, and PS2 till this day. Nothing will ever be like this, how I wish I could go back to the good old days.

I was kind of hoping he'd do a professional reinstall of it, showing how well it could have been done.
@@mitcentauri6237 Me too, i would have tried to keep it, it gives extra functionality and its probably easier to run your own copies of games since PSX discs are probably hard to find in good condition anyway.

It isn't vintage though. xD It has to be at least 50 years old or more to actually be vintage.
@@GROENAASMusic and you know a lot of video game console that existed 50 years ago ???
@@DauragonC.Mikado Of course. There was a portable version of Mark I (the first computer ever built) in the 50s but you needed a trailer to move it around
When you even flattened the plate, that is so kind. And removing the dirt from the chips and circuits. All you’ve done is a so professional work.
That was by FAR the dirtiest console I've watched him repair. That thing was SHEDDING dirt just by existing! 🤢
Incredible work as always. I sorta doubted that one could be saved!
8:22 - Being stuck in the loading screen was part of the game , you don't understand.

And he destoyed it so he vous make another video
I've read of creators of this kind of content ruining items on purpose just to repair them on video.
Well, idk if it's the case or not but that amount of filth in that PlayStation is just... Unlikely.
Imo the charm behind this type of content lies, not only in the skill and love for the craft of the one restoring the item but also in the story behind it and how it got to its ruined state.
Even when not much info is given regarding how and why the item got ruined in the first place one can always wonder.
Said charm will certain be lost if the uploader just 'makes up' these ruined items just for the sake of having content to upload.
I hope it's not the case, although unlikely given the state of that console

I remember the mod chip. It turned Blockbuster into my discount video game store. It also justified the purchase of a CD-R drive back in the day. Also, I like statutes of limitations.
Watching the disassembly, I was getting all nostalgic about installing mods for pocket money as a kid. Then he lifts the upper tray and there's that mod install. Wish we had footage from that.
Still got the Plextor, 2x write. Runs like new. Hard to beat for ripping damaged CDs.

They should encourage these restorations or repairs. A lot could be reused and we would have less waste.
Yeah i'd like to see how you repair a PS4 which is insanely complicated and not meant to be repaired. Sony doesn't make replacement parts, this is the reason why even finding a belt for a cassette walkman is tricky.
Can't repair electronics if nobody makes parts for them.
@@rochester212 That is what I am saying. Forcing them to sell spare parts at a fair price. Or collect broken electronics from the market.
I agree man
It's happening more and more with older hardware from 80-90's *especially* gaming consoles. People used to throw them away but there are only so many left out there that people are starting to take better care of what they have.

Good work, though I don't approve of removing the modchip unless it's being replaced with a different mod despite how ghetto it looks lol. Real game discs are old, expensive, and not always guaranteed to work due to scratches or disc rot, and the ability to play backups is very valuable for disc-based consoles imo
Agreed. I would play a backup over original.
Make the backup from the original and keep it clean and safe.
Some games have modchip detection that will stop them running if a modchip is detected. So removing it isn't such a bad idea at all.
Did you read the description?
I actually really liked the rockstar logo on there
Right? The dirty Rockstar logo was kind of a nice aesthetic.
yeah it had this weathered post-apocalyptic look to it lol
Yep.
OKAY... I didn't, because long story short version: Rockstar technically wasn't a developer then. They were a publisher. I say technically because at the time they did work on one "game"... for Microsoft Windows. And it wasn't even a game, it was an expansion pack! They published less titles for the PS1 than they did for the Game Boy Color! In fact, Rockstar wouldn't be a full time developer and gain the fanbase they have until they acquired DMA Design, the creators of Grand Theft Auto, in 1998 and published GTA3 in 2001. DMA then had their name changed from DMA Design to Rockstar North... now they were a developer, and could publish and develop games, thus making them the Rockstar we know and love today. THAT is when Rockstar became a household name.
SO WHY THE FUCK IS THERE A ROCKSTAR LOGO ON THE PLAYSTATION? THAT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE!
@@winlover37 yea it was
I'm feeling a little ASMR here.

As a gamer and retro enthusiast it saddens me to see old consoles in such horrible states but it’s amazing to see them restored to their former glory.
Why does every item you restore look as if it was acquired by grave robbery?
Would be weirder knowing someone was buried with an original PS1
I'm sure he does that himself. To make it look worse then it is.
