There has been a significant increase in fake PlayStation 1 discs being sold on AliExpress, a well-known online marketplace.

    Wouldn’t these not work on an unmodified PlayStation without an exploit? The system has copy protection that’s specifically meant to prevent bootlegs from running. Did they figure something out to bypass that like on the Dreamcast that I don’t know about?

      They totally might have figured something out. Hell, they could have gotten a hold of some of Sony’s original disc-pressing hardware to reproduce the copy protection. It really is the Wild West when it comes to these retailers
