"Oh no! Someone figured out how to make black discs again and there's a wave of counterfeit PS1 games hitting the secondhand channels! This might ruin the secondhand market!"

Good, game collecting prices are fucking stupid. If they play back in a normal PS1 (this is unclear) then they're good enough. If flooding the market with very-hard-to-distinguish counterfeits is what it takes to get away from $100USD+ used game prices then, so be it.


Not that it matters a ton for optical games since all of the discs and laser mechs are going to be having a BAD time within another decade. It's going to be very funny when a lot of people, who only spent a large sum of money on old games because they considered it an "investment" and a "valuable asset" that they could cash in on at some point in the future, and no desire to actually play any of the games on that actual media, find themselves hoarding a bunch of low value plastic that no longer can serve any functional purpose past looking pretty on a shelf.

It's a new thing?! I remember buying a stack of black CD-R's back in the day, like the entire appeal was that they looked like PS1 discs on the bottom, really.

That reminds me, too, I hope that solderless PS1 ODE actually happens, I have the PSOne with the portable screen and having an ODE for that would be pretty cool.

I think it's specifically bootleggers having access to this kind of disc, which I believe they do actually stamp now and not just burn. But I could be wrong.

Yeah that's still in development as far as I know. I'm also waiting for it since it's going to be a huge and very important step forward with ODE design. Haven't heard anything since the DDR demo video years ago now.
