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?

Woahh, you still use PSone?
 You might have to buy a replacement lens for it. |

That's pure old school right there.
Yeah, I'm guessing it's something wrong with the lens. Or your games are real scratched up. |

That's odd... It's probably because it's old, but my NES still works. And my SNES... So does my N64. Odd... Oh, ha, that's right. Those are all made by Nintendo. That's why.
Sony probably sneaked into your house and bugged your PS to force you to buy the new PS3 because they need every sale they can get. It's true. Just look at my signature. Ha, I kid, but seriously, it's probably because it's old and warn out. You can buy a new one for real cheap these days.

But anyways, you can probably get a PS2 for about the same price you bought your PS1 a long time ago. I know it's dropped to around $150, or somewhere around that line. |

Or maybe because, you know, cartridge units tend not to have moving parts, which means they're less likely to break? Gamecube is very durable though, and the PS2 is very shoddily put together. |

^ 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. |

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. |

what they said.also theres plent of ps2's on ebay for like $50, or if you have alot of games, most game stores like gamestop, eb games, ect, will take trade-ins towards new gaming systems.you might have to put a little cash with it, but it'd totally be worth it.

I see what you mean by moving parts.
