Replacement Playstation optical drive from TotalConsole works very well -- this was being discussed as a drop-in-and-go replacement (not tuning) and it's worked with everything I've tested it with so far except one CD-R that I burned about 18 years ago.

My original Playstation from 1996, which I mod-chipped and in which I recently replaced the PSU (and optical drive).

Haujobb scenedemo playing here, Orgonakkumulator (1999).

‘Eerst dacht ik: ik stop met cellospelen en ga in de fondsenwerving,’ zegt Willemijn Knödler. ‘Maar ja, dan zou ik een deel van mezelf wegcijferen. Dus hoe kon ik tegelijk als moeder en enals celliste iets doen?'

Baby's first #CD. Child B wanted some music and so got these two albums for Christmas. Just ripped them for their MP3 player. Perhaps the start of their #Music collection?

About to take another stab at replacing the laser unit on my original PlayStation from 1996. This time, the mechanism is pre-tuned and pre-aligned. It cost twice as much, but apparently it should be drop in and go.

🤞
