- The original Playstation 1 had a secret feature that not many people knew about, until now. You probably played PS1 way back in the day & wish you found out about this.. It's absolutely top secret.

I know a lot of secrets about older consoles too, so let me know if you want to see them 😁
Yeah please do
Do some on psp ig
Yeah do it for ps3
No u
This became one of my favourite videos of yours! (Mostly because of the ending with the PS start-up sound) Please do more!🙏
You're too late... 26 years too late...
couldnt agree more but sadly youtube no exist at the time.
You can go back when time machines invented
Or buy a ps1 lmao 😂 I still got my ps1 and N64 and play them more than ps4 or xbone🤷♂️ better games back in the day... idk what to say...
Was just gonna make the same coment, it would be nice to know 26 years ago when deleted my saved games by mistake.
lol True!
All my Tekken characters... Gone for nothing..... Funny how it still hurts...
I feel you bro
love your channel bro
I can tell by your prof pic
Bruh
Everybody hurtsssss
I worked for a local video game store when the PS1 launched. When Sony sent us displays we got a few little swag items and they included a debug and diagnostic manual. I remember this was one feature but had forgot all about it until now.
Same.
I was working for WaldenSoftware back then (before they were bought out by Electronic Boutique)...
/sing "Memorieeeeees!"
This manual is 100% true. I currently have this manual. There was also a magazine that released cheat codes back in the day and one article was about this feature.
@@devinmalin7265 What is it called? I'd like to find a digitised copy somewhere. (don't link it, youtube shadow deletes comments with links in them)
Game developer here.
Usually with esoteric button combinations like this (Hit all the shoulder buttons on the controller at the same time) these are usually something you would see as a developer command. Like a shortcut for developers or testers to perform actions that make testing easier.
They often use complicated button combinations and very specific timing (a lot like old school cheat codes) on the off chance that they need to take a dev build to a public event like a conference, or if they forget to remove it, it's unlikely that someone would trigger it by accident.
I would hazard to guess the reason this feature wasnt advertised is because its not a feature, but in fact a dev command that they neglected to remove before manufacturing.
Remind me of Mario 3 for the NES let you get any item you want by pressing select on the overworld. Later carts removed the feature as it was never meant to be there in the first place.
Wrong.

- remember that save file you cried over 26 years ago?
Indeed .....
Usefull info... I needed 25 & half year ago :p
Oh I remember it. I'll never forget it. Couldn't bring myself to restart the game ever since.
Nope sorry Wasn't alive 26 years ago😂😂
My sister deleted my pokemon safe file in the early 2000s on my gameboy. Still traumatized.
This video would have saved my friends life when he deleted my resident evil save data. May he rest in peace 😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣
What happen u left him in pieces
I beat the shit out of my lil bro for deleting my shit on purpose 😂😂😂
🤣😂🤣😂
wait what...
For those that don't know, data on any storage medium is never "deleted"
It is simply made available by the drive to be overwritten. As long as the "deleted" data is not overwritten, you can always retrieve provided you have the tools.
They couldve written all zeros, ones or garbage data. Data can be deleted
@@Kyss007 they did not in this case
what if the datas wiped at the binary level?
@@SkullModder It is technically possible to wipe data by changing its value to another arbitrary value (like 0). However, it is not usually how its done, for the simple reason that it would be too time consuming. As example, wiping a single gigabyte would require to change a billion bytes (and thus 8 billions bits). Why bother doing that when marking the data for overwrite does the trick and allows to recover the data? This is far more useful for a game console, or really any kind of devices available to the large public
Hmm, this comment smells like Reddit
the beginning of the ps1 gives me goosebumps, it takes me back to those times, when having a ps1 was something exclusive, something serious, a dream come true
yeah... you were among the PS master race gamers or SEGA Genesis/Chinese Sega ripoff peasants
When I checked the mail everyday hoping for something new from Playstation underground.
I did this by accident when I was a kid. I never knew how I did it, my friends thought I was lying, and when I failed to recreate this, I gave up and just accepted that I must have dreamed it. Here 20 years later, I finally get to see this video and find out how I did it...but haven't had a PS1 or been in contact with those friends in 20 years lmao
Update: I never thought I would be making this update...I had forgotten I shared this and had moved on, but one of my friends from back then that didn't believe me apparently saw this video and remembered from way back then...I can't believe he even remembered, but even more, I can't believe he not only found me (I don't have social media because I want to keep my personal life private), but reached out to me to apologize for not believing me. I have little hope the other four will do the same, but, well, this happened, so who knows?
I can imagine that after you deleted the file, you probably had a spasm of the hands all over the controller hoping for anything to work. And then you somehow managed to use the shoulder buttons all at the same time. Or maybe even tossed the controller and it hit the shoulder buttons perfectly.
Either or, there you go; now you know.
@@stevenmackay3289 Knowing my kid self, I probably panicked and started hitting as many buttons as I could in a vain hope I could save it, not knowing it was even possible, then being surprised when it happened and not having a clue how I did it
Track them down, send them this video, and say "I fucking told you so!!"
@@mintpalmer What this guy said. ^^^^
Time to use Facebook and do a 20 year old I TOLD YOU I DIDNT LIE.
This sounds like the kind of thing a kid would tell you at school that he had learned from his older brother, but when you got home and tried it, it wouldn't work.
That was my childhood.
I didn't even know that we could actually do fatalities until my brother's older friends came over and showed me. My mind was blown. To be fair, I had a few games that were second hand along with my Sega Mega Drive. So I had to figure out a lot of stuff on my own. I was also 8.
We also had friends that used to copy their Commodore 64 games across to new floppy disks for us. Those were the days!! 🤣
I was also an 8 year old girl playing Mortal Kombat. When the MK movie came out on VHS a year later, we rented it from Video Ezy (Aussie video rental store) My brother was the one that told my parents that it was just "a little bit of blood" when we took the video home. And the only swear words were crap.
My mum was not impressed when she found out after haha. I thought it was the best thing ever!! After that I was able to watch all the Die Hard series when they came out as long as I was with my brother or my Dad. I think they secretly just enjoyed that I loved them as much as they did! Lol
you have a lot of time bro ^
@@rikkatheconure2395 nah just replying on my mobile while I watch TH-cam on my TV xD
So true! Like all the "secret places" other kids said you could reach in games… somewhere, many links up that telephone chain, someone must have thought they were really funny, wasting everybody's time with a made-up easter egg 😅
But it actually *was* fun. Man, life was more interesting before the Internet was everywhere.
Believe me, I NEVER deleted a wrong game file on the PS1, I was too careful, especially where the Resident Evil games were concerned. But this is definitely a handy tip.
I did this by accident as a kid after deleting my Crash Bandicoot 3 file. I pressed all the buttons in anger without realizing the file returned. HOWEVER this only worked as long as you had the system on and did not start another game. If you shut it off then from my experience, you can no longer retrieve the file. I tried it on Jumping Flash and lost that file forever but didn't care.
If I knew this before, my neighbor who accidentally deleted my save file would still be alive today.
@UpSideДown stop humble bragging bout having two penises. smh.
@UpSideДown it didn't work, his eye have decomposed already. Now I have to bury him again :(
@r/CursedComments @Dominic
Nice joke.
*wait.*
i dying laugh at this bro, hopefully is a joke right 😂😂
The guy that discovered this probably discovered in a rage where he was pressing all the buttons for it to come back, and it actually came
lol exactly how i discovered it. i didn't realize it wasn't documented, what like 20 years ago?
I remember DC Country 1, all my saves were deleted for no reason... I threw it against the wall and put it back on the SNES, turned it on and they were all there.
Came... just like your mom!!
@@RyanREAX this comment has me dying 🤣😂
😂😂😂
I knew it back in the day! I'm from Italy! We learn it in a gaming magazine when me and friends were youg! Good times! Thanks for sharing this!
Man I remember having that system as a kid might have been like 15 or 16 years old at that time now I am 37 years old about to turn 38 in August. Time flies when your having fun that's for sure.
I remember accidentally Deleting a save file on Spyro after beating Gnasty Gnorc on a school night. I screamed so loud and cried bc it took me forever to beat him. My dad came in the with belt after finding me up so late. This video *literally* could’ve saved me an ass beating.
Yea but then you wouldn't have the story to tell lol

@@samuelcarmona87 every child needs a beating once in a while lol
I'll be god damned...friendships could have been saved if we had known about this lol
Did you ever have to flip the console upside down to read the disk? That was kinda fun too.. my favorite game was nuclear strike.
Yeah...I feel bad now :(
@Where's Waldo??? ? I am ur Lord sheep and he has my blessings
@Where's Waldo??? ? 🌸😹Who cares if he is, it doesn’t mean he’s wrong😹🌸
God damnit, you’re right!
yeah ill actually like and sub you know why. this video was the exact length it needed to be instead of screeching the content out to two add breaks long. good job.
I knew this as a kid, if you ever played spyro or crash bandicoot youd know pressing buttons in a certain way was how heats were activated. The infi was also explained several times in magazines released back then.
1st time it’s not just click bait of a commonly known fact I’m shocked and learned something new.
Me too
For real.
I was ready for a "The PS1 could play music CDs" video.
But the clip is under 10 minutes. He still has to learn a lot!
@@MrTickleBean The moment he opened up the memory card menu and it was most of the video in already I was disappointed already. Glad it wasn't just managing saves from one card to the other or something like that.
This is like showing up with a firetruck 20 something years after the fire....
or showing up after your child 25 yo
Better late then never.
@@suprememasteroftheuniverse I guess it's better to be never in this case
Bwahaha
Good one
Did know thos when I was young but forgot about. Thank you.
Another trick you can do in that same screen is when your game will not load up go into the cd player and start the game file and fast forward it a bit then close the door. Game should boot up and work
Thanks!! This will greatly improve my gaming experience on the PlayStation one moving forward !!! 🙌
If I knew that, I wouldn't bite my big brother for removing my Final Fantasy VII and Jade Cocoon saves...
Jade cocoon 😭😭😭 remember playing it so much
Omg Jade Cocoon!!!
This comment is fuckn gold bro..
I deleted my brothers jade cocoon...I wish I knew this at the time...
Lmao I had a friend who accidentally saved over my jade cocoon file.
Click on delete
“Are you sure u want to delete?”
Yes
“Deletes”
Oh damn. I didn’t want to delete that
You cant know how it was....we werent looking we were just impatient to play our new game and wanted to delete a new one but.....the mistake arrived and u delete ur favorite game
Literally me with a DB raging blast 2 save
Panic does shit to you
Well it also helps when u only played certain games. Or just bought extra memory cards lol
It’s not hard to happen with people that don’t speak english. Specially a kid in 90s.
I remember being at friends house. We were playing through Baldurs gate and we were struggling. His little brother decided he wanted to play and of course we were kicked off and he got to take over. He started a new game played for a few minutes and got bored. He asked how to save so I told him how. He hovered over our save file. I told him not to save on that slot as that was our save. He looked at me, looked at the screen and back at me and without hesitation saved right over our game. Hours lost.
This is a little irrelevant but your comment reminded me of that moment.
Mr Glasspenis thank you for the nostalgia blast of the startup, menu screen and memory card screen. You’ve earned yourself a sub, good sir!
Dude the excitement stepping up from super Nintendo and the Sega Genesis , you're just like listening to that PS intro like "oh wow what an age to be alive"...
I wish i knew this 20 years ago. I had a serious fight with a friend of mine just because i accidentaly deleted his brave fencer musashi save file 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love brave fencer musashi. Plus the music is bomb! The story ending kinds sucks though.
Ohmy, miss that moment so much
Good game
@ade rahmat you can still finish through emulator though i suggest you to play on pc. It's better control. I finished it in PC. And FF series and Suikoden series on Phone.

This was in one of the video game magazines.
No idea which one but I knew of this because of that.
That magazine was also how I knew that some of those demo games had secret features like the ginuwine "pony" music video.
🤣
My favorite hack of all time was playing the music off the black game cds on the ride home, in a Kenwood car cd player that would skip over bumps. But my favorite games were the twisted metal games, both the music to play in the car and games to play on playstation 1
Wonder how one could possibly discover this: by just pressing all the controller buttons, angry for deleting the wrong game file.
Lol yeah
I think that’s how I worked it out.
I can think of 2 other possibilities: 1) Someone who worked on the PS1 told someone and word got out 2) Someone reverse-engineered the binary data and found it
It was mentioned in some magazines back in a day so some people knew some are stupid and didn't know even tho it was probably mentioned to them. Some people are such lost idiots yet they still have a "life" and survive, while some smart people end up struggling and have issues in life, not sure how the world works for these idiots but it does...

This sound reminds me of all the final fantasy games and legend of dragoon. Oh and driver of course. Man...

Sorry not new but not well known for sure.
Actually why did he explained how to access so slowly, it was kinda annoying
people new of this from the start
Imagine all that fist-fights and sibling-wars that could be avoided if we know this trick decades ago
Probably why they left it out
If only they had this option on GameCube cuz my brother constantly deleted my data 😩🤦♀️
Not only knew this, i also found out how to play ripped/burned games without any tools or modification, just a piece of paper to keep the CD spinning while open.
Very helpful. Thank you.
sony just assumed 'anyone who accidentally deletes a save is just gonna spam the R and L buttons out of rage'
I accidently did lol
The fact you have to explain what a memory card is just shows that 20 years has passed.
memory cards are still in phones and computers tho, aren't they? you just don't tutch them anymore. or am I actually too young?
@@myname7937 i dont know what the storage devices in phones are but memory cards were removable and literally only contained gamesave data. The disc held the game and if you wanted to save your progress it didnt write to the hard drive like current gen consoles your save went on the memory card and would be stored until you overwrote or updated it.
@@couldntmixapotnoodle phones use micro SD cards so yes, he is correct. It is a newer form of a memory card.
It's kinda sad lol
Thats some boomer shit
2:00, man definitely knows what we wanna hear when we watch videos about the PS1
I played many games on the PS1 but that intro sound will forever be tied to Tomb Raider for me., and the Cistern will always be burned into my nightmares.
I wonder how many children’s hopes and video game progress were dashed because they didn’t know about this. I think I can hear their combined cry right now.
My cry...it's somewhere amongst them 😫
The store my dad bought ps1 from told him about this and he told me so me and my friend's knew about this secret, when i was a kid
It’s as if a million voices suddenly cried out in terror...
Yeah not many.. we already knew this
I can
Developer: “nobody will ever know that I coded this extra feature!”
I still keep my Ps1 save and sound. It was my 1st gamer console and ot history to bought it. It was not easy too to buy such gamer console 20yrs ago since money is a big problem...im a poor family.
