I've had my PS1 for... 16 years now, I think, maybe more? I don't remember, but it's the model with the screen, as in the picture.

I didn't play it for a year, maybe 2, but I felt like buying a CD and burning Spyro 3 and Klonoa to play it on it (the PS1 has a modchip).

... So...
It doesnt read my burns (It reads Spyro 3 sometimes)
All my burned discs of yore cant be read well or freeze at some point, with the exception of Mega Man X4, which works, but the sound stream is iffy, the music stops for 1 or 2 seconds at random. Ditto with FMVs.

The problem I described with my X4 happens with my original copy of Spyro the Dragon as well.

... However, my copy of MGS (From the Essential Collection), works perfectly, once I get it to boot. It's in mint condition, the disc.

So... Is my reader dying? Any fix? Any recomendation?

That's a faulty laser alright. I am not sure because I don't have a PS1, but I think the lasers they used on those things were the same as normal CD players. Might be easy/cheap to fix.

I think you can just buy a new driver assembly, although seeing how cheap PSOne's are it might not be that much more expensive, perhaps even cheaper, to get a new unit altogether.

If you could get a big gray PS (which are even cheaper) with a confirmed working drive that could also be a cheap way to get a new disk drive, as they should be interchangeable AFAIK.

いや、OPが望めばガンパレを遊びたいならほかのほうほうがあるでしょう?でも、問題は今のコーンソールは壊れちゃったからPS1を使ってできないはずでしょう

いや、文法の事だが...

ここの「使ってできない」も普通は「使えない」って書くんですよ。

Did you burn them in good quality discs?
I know some old burnt discs become unreadable after a few years.

The CDs I burned yesterday were brand-new Sony CD-Rs.

The ones from years ago are from various different brands...

Back then I didnt had a CD burner, nor was I savvy on the ways of ISO downloading, so in my country everyone with a PS1 just went buy burned CDs for cheap.

As for my Spyro and MGS, those're original.

Old ass cheap CDRs very likely used organic dyes that have decomposed. Don't count on them to work like they did ten or fifteen years ago.
