All of my games are running slowly on my Playstation one. It's not the controller, because I've tried several. Does anybody know what could be causing this and/or how to fix it?

^ Erm... actually, cartridges are more likely to mess up.
And that's what I mean. Nintendo's stuff has always been very reliable, even with cartridges. |

No dude. The only big thing you have to worry about with cartridges is the battery on it going out, which just erases your saved data. Or possibly with the contacts getting dirty. Cartridges have no moving parts, so there is no chance of mechanical failure. Maybe you're thinking of cassettes. Whereas in a unit with an optical drive or a cassette drive, you have gears, pulley bands and lasers that can break. The cartridges themselves are much more sturdy than optical media too. That's why it's no surprise that early Nintendo (and Sega for that matter) units are still alive and kicking. However, Nintendo does have a good track record of making great hardware; even with the optical gamecube, they're still known to be more or less problem free. But the comparison between a cartridge based system and a optical drive system isn't very fair. |

I see what you mean by moving parts.
