Worst functioning console you've ever had to put up with?

[Fatboi1]

You know what I'm talking about, that system that no matter what would just be a pain in the ass to work with and since you was young you couldn't buy another one but deal with it.

Off the bat it's a tie between the PS1 and 64 for me.

I literally had a 64 controllers joystick break off and you know what i did?? I literally just pulled a button off a coat and used it in place of the joystick.





Something like this.

I straight up had some shyt like this in place of the analog stick :pachaha2:

Besides that though my PS1 went through shyt. I literally had games with so much scratches I don't know HOW they still worked. I had knockout kings for PS1 and the disc literally had a piece of it broken off but it still worked. Sometimes I did this trick someone showed me where you play a game like smackdown and while the wrestlers intro was playing, quickly pop open the disc tray and QUICKLY swap discs with a broken game. That shyt worked one time I was like .

Y'all know about turning the PS1 upside down too right?

the fat xbox 360. Bought two and they both RROD on me. The original xbox 360 was easily one of the most unreliable systems ever made.

last gen gave me the most problems, not including my atari that literally exploded


first 360 didn't even have the nuts to red ring, it just refused to read disk. 2nd 360 got put in the dirt trying to run mass effect.

two blu-ray disk errored on my ps3, had to replace it twice before switching over to a ps3 slim.

My 360, the constant rrod was pretty annoying to deal with

Nintendo
Blowing in them goddman cartridges
I never beat Ninja Gaiden cause the shyt kept fukkin up on me

The original NES

When a user inserted the cartridge into the NES, the force of pressing the cartridge down and into place bent the contact pins slightly, as well as pressing the cartridge’s ROM board back into the cartridge itself. Frequent insertion and removal of cartridges caused the pins to wear out from repeated usage over the years and the ZIF design proved more prone to interference by dirt and dust than an industry-standard card edge connector

360 RROD on me once and I had 2 ps2s that had that jammed disc tray problem

My 360 that shyt broke down om me like four fukking Times' so I sold that shyt and went over to the godly ps3

NES easily. If it wasnt the console that fukked up, your games wouldnt work for shyt. You had to blow on them, beat them, push the shyt in teh system so it was barely in there and jam the game down, then press reset 20 times just to boot up a damn game.

Slim Ps2. I had to book or something on top of the disk tray where it opened so it would think its close all the way so it would start reading the disc.

Out of every console I owned my PS3 has been the most reliable. I never had to do anything to it. I've had it since April 2010 and it's still running strong.(PS3 slim.)

My 360 you already know was a trainwreck. First issue I had was a RROD. I woke up one morning getting ready to play GTA IV and BAM, RROD. After that I had disc read errors but I fixed those by buying a replacement laser.

yo nikkas had routines
Blow in the game
put the game in press it up and down 4 times
reset it twice
take it out pull the plug from out the wall
frustrating as fukk!
I think the only game that would consistently work for me was this bullshyt I stole from my cousin called 8 Eyes or some shyt

ive had great luck with consoles, i was slightly annoyed when the reset switch on my n64 went out, but that was after many years of ownership.

as a younger kid my nes games, of course would freeze, prompting me to do the blow in the cartridge thing.

not really a malfunction, but discovering that the GBA had no backlight was kinda annoying.

all i can really say i have experienced is minor stuff. i've had far more trouble with gaming PCs through the years...

yep, I remember all this towards the end of my NES's life

I heard Japan's top-loading Famicom didn't have a lot of those issues
