Undoing a Delete on Playstation 1, 2, and Gamecube
Accidentally deleted a game save or file on your Playstation 1, 2, or Gamecube? Don't worry, you're not alone. We all make mistakes, but fortunately, there are ways to undo this action on these consoles.
This interesting topic recently came up in our Discord server, where gamers like you shared their experiences and knowledge about this console quirk. One user expressed regret for not knowing earlier that the Playstation 1 had a hidden feature that allowed you to undo a deleted file by simply holding all 4 shoulder buttons. Others chimed in, sharing their personal experiences of accidentally deleting important game saves and how this feature would have been incredibly useful.
There was even a playful exchange about the term 'bastard' and how accidental deletions might occur. Another user recounted their struggles with accidentally deleting wrong saves multiple times on a shared memory card with their siblings. And, interestingly, someone mentioned holding the Z button while turning on a Gamecube to trigger a different jingle.
Reset Combo for Playstation 1 and 2
Did you know that the Playstation 1 and 2 had a reset combo that allowed you to restart the console without getting up? The conversation in our Discord server revolved around this feature as users discussed the button combination for the reset function. Some expressed surprise at not knowing about it, while others reminisced about their childhood memories triggered by the mention of the reset combo. However, there were also users who admitted to deleting files without caution, which led to frustration from their fellow gamers.
GameCube Logo Noises
The discussion then shifted to the GameCube and its logo noises. Did you know that holding certain controller buttons while turning on the console can change the logo noises? Users in our Discord server talked about the different logo noises and the buttons that trigger them.
Accidentally Deleted Memory Card
One user shared their unfortunate experience of accidentally washing memory cards, with one miraculously surviving the ordeal. This led to a conversation about the recoverability of deleted save files on memory cards. Users also mentioned other console quirks, such as playing alternate soundtracks and accessing secret menus. The availability of information about these quirks, including manual instructions and the internet, was also discussed.
Playstation 1 Music
Did you know that certain PlayStation games allowed you to play their music in a CD player? This feature was brought up during the conversation, with some users claiming it was common knowledge, while others were unaware of it due to limited access to information. The absence of a cancel option and the short timeframe to realize and reverse a delete action raised questions, and users expressed surprise at the lack of documentation about the shoulder button press feature.
Super NES Online
The topic then shifted to the Japanese version of the Super NES and its online capabilities. The planned external CD drive for the Super NES, which eventually became the Playstation 1, was also mentioned. The conversation concluded with the interesting tidbit that Nintendo inadvertently created one of their biggest competitors by themselves.
