PS1: Funcionamento da Proteção Antipirataria do Primeiro Playstation

Did you know that the PS1 was factory-locked? No??? Being one of the first consoles to popularize the CD-ROM as a media format, the PS1 had the bare minimum to check if a disc was pirated or not. The lack of mechanisms to identify authentic media proved to be a mistake years later, when CD-ROM drives and CD-Rs themselves were becoming increasingly cheaper. In this video, we'll understand how the Playstation's protection/locking worked to prevent backups (pirated games) and games released for regions other than the console's own. #playstation #ps1 #sony #cd-rom #8bitnostalgia
