PS1 Menu walkthrough

[@minuteworld7027]

I didn't even know the ps1 had a menu.

[@chrithom]

Me too lol

[@mswinxp1-roblox839]

trick: dont insert a game/or cd

[@cutemimi25]

There are different variations of the PS1 menu, if you live in Japan and the US all the fat model PS1's had the ugly blue background with rainbow colors, the early PAL versions had a gray background but with photos of a music note and memory card, while later ones unfortunately got the ugly color scheme, and all slim models have the background shown in the video.

[@theprodigyisrayman]

Me too :v

[@penitentestudios1492]

Because it only has 2 rooms one of them is a memory card viewer and the other is a cd player where you insert like an album disc and you can listen to music on your ps1 I do not know if it plays today's albums because the ps1 is old

[@bai]

The EXIT button that opens like a door....wow

[@deaduser038]

Thats cool

[@JohnDaker35p]

Ahahahaha hah...

[@kpjlflsknflksnflknsa]

feels like what we have now (for ps4) is the natural progression from this ps1 display, which i love

[@propellus786]

Why does the menu have bathroom tiles?

[@Ricky-tp2qj]

cos its shit

[@declanmoloney8099]

Could Be A Way Of Showing of Texture Shading, Notice How The Tiles On the Left Get Darker Gradually, Could Be to Suit The Colour of The Console which was Gray and Just a Grid Design I Suppose :)

[@Mateoski97]

I actually like the gray tiles.

[@cutemimi25]

@@Ricky-tp2qj No way the blue one with the rainbow colors was shit, it was ugly as hell, the Slim menu is way better, I even prefer the older ones the PAL region got similar with this but with pictures with a memory card and a piano with a music note, the blue background sucked, the gray one rocks.

[@nectarium8760]

[@villadelfia]

Actually, this menu was also used on the very first ps1's. then it was redesigned to that blue thing, then when the ps-one came out, they went back to this, but included the audio visualization included in the blue bios.

[@TafferDP]

@@hugoguidon4960 The very first was Japanese SCPH-1000 and there the bios menu was blue one.

[@beckybecky125]

The first European models had a menu like this, only Japan and US had the blue one

[@Handlesarestupid666]

The Sony Computer Entertainment part of the intro used to scare me as a kid.😅

[@alejoncho]

It was a simple but functional menu, no communities, no friends, no digital games, here alone you had a CD player and the option to watch your memory card, now instead on the ps4 you can join a community, have friends, chat with them through a group of you or by message and even play with them, none of that existed at that time, it was all simpler and there was almost nothing we know now , lcd screens, 4K resolutions, no! This is 1995, it's not 2020

[@riderr3]

No friends? But we had a lot of real friends and real communities back in the days to play local 2player games!

[@machoman6969]

Wait until these gen z ppl discover that Online friends aren't real friends

[@FolderBoard]

@@machoman6969Shut it, boomer.

[@KeiFox]

This one has been trying to find an audio program for the PC that will provide the same audio functions as the PS1, with the sound variety including the hall, church, dome, studio, etc. because some of those atmosphere settings were really spellbinding.

[@Defnotegor]

I didn’t have too much disks for my Ps1 so I tried to insert dvds into it and these screens popped up. Ah the nostalgia!

[@ArtemisiaDS3]

This startup used to scare the shit out of me... T_T

why?

[@omerdursun0]

when ı was kid i scare start up sound

[@miniroll32]

This is different to my PS1 - When I click on the Memory Card icon, it opens up like a doorway... Wierd :S

[@cannon.3203]

Its not weird... the video is clickbait

[@starlingbaez6681]

That was the exit button

[@chowmein0941]

You probably have a different model of playstation! When your ps1 starts up, does it open with a blue background with bubbles? And are the icons for the memory card, and cd player look like splats of paint? If so, then you have an older model of playstation!

[@v1nag3r]

@@chowmein0941 No the one that opens like a door is an earlier PAL SCPH-1002 or SCPH-5002. The ones with the splat like icons and blue background are all NTSC consoles (US and Japan except the slim models which have the one shown here) and the PAL SCPH-9002 which to my knowledge is the only european console to have that menu.

[@azizbader9087]

Nostalgia hits hard

[@PinkPumaLys]

This menu scared the shit out of me for some reason

[@imaplanklol7702]

I haved nightmares with ps2 startup

[@azizbader9087]

Maybe because the annoying sounds ?

[@DarKn3ss416]

I wish i could go back in time and erase my memories and experience this for the first time again

I remember having the purple bubble version, that's the one I grew up with.

[@S-1_24-25]

[@Moonwalker-cy7qf]

Lol, you have toy story 2? used to love toy story!

[@MomoHiraisan]

Ahhhh, I get it. This UI is for the PS One model, while mine (SCPH-7501) has the purple UI :3

[@incogninto1-1]

[@masterdrewt6698]

This is a lot different then the other menu I got for my ps1

[@scaleop4]

on the newer ps1.....when your in the CD menu and your playing a CD.....if you press start and select at the same time you get an on screen graphics that dance to the music....I forget what they call it. but it was only on the newer ps1s.

This brings back memories when I used to buy ps1 games for my ps2 . Like I remember getting Dave Mirra Freestyle bmx when I was like 4. I remember I was so exicted I wasn't paying attention and I put the disc upside down In my ps2 and we had to get another one LoL and I remember having the scooter game, rc helicopter, and my favorite, Stuart Little 2 haha

[@maxtheil916]

you have played toy story 2 (awesome game)

[@toypop96]

@2908kevin The newer PS1's (the little white ones) had a menu like in this video. You probably have the older grey one, which had that weird purple-ish menu instead.

[@scottonxbox.]

my menu is different to this the icons for both CD player and memory card are different, background is still the same. also I can't play a game it just goes on to CD player can anyone help ?

Literally never knew the PS1 had a menu, had one since 1998. Crazy.

@1PlayerD but you have the bigger PS1 right? with the purple menu, cause i have a NTSC U/C PS One (the small version) and the menu is exactly the same of the video...

[@Laharl569Able]

I never had a PS1, but that's okay, I have a PS2 and it's backwards compatible with PS1 games. I have some PS1 games like Silhouette Mirage and other games. PS3 also plays PS1 games too! It can't play PS2 games :( However, there are PS2 classics. One of my favourite PS2 games were Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. My friend has a PS one, I don't. He also has a PS2 just like me.

[@starryplatinum]

I really enjoyed Final Fantasy 7 and Crash Bandicoot when I was a kid, and I played them on the PS2 as well. Other than the Dreamcast, Gamecube, and Wii, PS1 games are really nostalgic to me too

[@jackbollingmoore7554]
