Comment on My PS1 died today

A lot of people have done the mod that allows you to play games off a modded memory card, bypassing the error prone cd drive. Seems worth it

I wasn’t even aware of that mod chip, definitely worth it. I’ve had this goofy idea for a while now to set up a corner in my basement with an 80s theme. You know, vintage flooring, lamps, blankets, one of those old futons, and a CRT with my classic consoles. Having something like that down there would be a nice modern convenience without sacrificing the aesthetic.

Thats exactly what I did in my basement office! Behind me is a sharp crt, ps1, vcr, genesis, some other consoles. So nice to leave the phone and laptop in the bedroom and come down here to travel back to better times

That is awesome! Small world, both with the same idea on the same platform. Previous homeowner left a pink rotary phone downstairs, thing is worth some serious cash in working condition. I thought about getting one of those base stations that turn your cell into a landline and hooking it up, for the full experience you know?

That would be awesome. I have a camary yellow one that looks like a spy phone, has a little red dome light on it.
