Sound is skipping on old PS1 games.

Hey, I have a stack of PS1 games that I play regulary (Tekken, Cabela's Ultimate Deer Hunt, Warhawk, Gran Turismo) and when I play them, some of the music in the games skips a lot. Whats exactly causing this?

look under disc. if you see lines and finger prints then thats what it is

Might be your disc. If not, get yourself a Qtip, dip in alcohol and clean your lens.

Alright, also love the forum sig. :)

I bought a new laser/disk unit from ebay - makes games work like new. Obviously if a game disk is badly scratched its going to have problems, but otherwise you can kiss goodbye to those music/fmv skipping issues! Only cost about £8 or something.

I'm pretty certain that your real problem is the console overheating from a badly designed heat vent on the bottom of the console, sound skipping was a common issue on older PS1 models back in the day. The infamous solution? Put the game in and play the console upside down, I kid you not, it helps with airflow and works like a charm:P

Hey man, do you mean the PSONE slim models, or the fat PS1's?

I do not like the placement of the vents on the ps1, since heat rises, and they are on the bottom of the consol. But i just bought mine.
