Damn i knew /vr/ was pleb but i didn't think it get tot the point where people who didn't flip their msx/psx on the side could post.

putting your system sideways is a good way to break it

Is turning your PS1 upside down supposed to help fix disc skipping? I replaced the laser on mine and it still has disk skipping problems.

It helps if the motor is losing power and has trouble achieving the spin rate needed which usually results in the game hanging when it needs to load in new data.

I suspended mine from a cluster of helium balloons. I had no idea anyone did otherwise.

Huh?

I was under the impression it allowed the laser sled to ride on the upper rails which are generally not distorted or worn. Never heard this motor theory before.

Laser sled, I like that term. I plan on using that in the future
