    Gamecube Controller R Trigger Automatically Activated Issue

    I took it apart while testing it to see what would happen. It definitely has nothing to do with the contact on the board, as that is only touched for the R button press, it's just the slider for the trigger. It is behaving erratically, randomly moving around from 250 activation to 1 and...

    Gamecube Controller R Trigger Automatically Activated Issue

    I've modchipped a PS2, this contact point looks easy enough to replace compared to that, if I have to. I'll try the pencil trick first though. Thanks! OEM, DOL-003

    Gamecube Controller R Trigger Automatically Activated Issue

    Hello! So, I had an issue with my black GC controller, in that when I tried to play melee with it, it kept shielding by itself, making the game unplayable. I downloaded a homebrew gamecube controller tester for Wii, and confirmed that the right trigger is activated to approximately ~170 out of...

    PS1/2 Why might this burned game be failing?

    UPDATE: I oiled the motors and greased the gears/rails on the laser assembly, raised the voltage from about 10.4mv to 11.5, and BAM, those two games run good as new (for now). Huge W.

    PS1/2 Why might this burned game be failing?

    Looks like my burned Metal Gear Solid disk is stalling too. The playstation is making noise though, I'll try greasing the motor before I replace anything.

    I don't understand how you are running this test. I just went to the surface scan section and clicked test.

    This is one of those slim PS1 models that came out later. Probably doesn't change that much though.

    PS1/2 Why might this burned game be failing?

    I have heard this, but the effect certainly isn't rapid. I have discs with sticky labels on them from over 10 years ago that still work fine, all my other discs with sticky labels - even the ones with significantly off-center placement - work fine too.

    PS1/2 Why might this burned game be failing?

    I only have one working CD drive for PC, and one working PSX, so nope. I wonder if it's just some slight wobble in the disc caused by slightly off center paper label that is causing the problem. This doesn't seem to cause any issue in some of my other games with slightly off center labels.

    The disc past both the Nero DiskSpeed check and the Imgburn ISO verification with 100%, 0 errors.

    PS1/2 Why might this burned game be failing?

    Alright I'll try nero. The lasers aren't particularly hard to find, I've replaced a couple of them for friends in the last year. I'm not sure how trustworthy the Aliexpress sellers are but they sure have a lot of lasers. I actually get PTSD from thinking about hardmodded PS2s. It took me 4...

    PS1/2 Why might this burned game be failing?

    This wouldn't really surprise me, the natural follow-up to that is "how do I check?" What is ap? They are good brand new verbatim printable cd-r with silver. Again, no issues with any of the other discs. How exactly do you verify if a burn is "good" or not? What features would I need on the...

    PS1/2 Why might this burned game be failing?

    Here is the problem: I burned a ton of games for my PSX recently. All of them were verified after burning to make sure they burned correctly. After burning I labeled them all. Some of them had artwork printed directly onto the disc, others had artwork printed to sticky labels that were then...

    What does it mean when PSX games are labeled (T)?

    I'm looking through a list of roms that exist for PSX games, a bunch of them are labeled like "LSD - Dream Emulator (T)" instead of the more typical "Metal Gear Solid (USA)". What on earth is this supposed to mean? There is no region that starts with T.
