Music video display

After the music video is displayed, press [Square] to change its color. Hold [Triangle] to turn it into a tracer. Use the D-Pad to switch between them. Press [R1] or [R2] buttons to advance through the song tracks and press [L1] or [L2] buttons to skip through the time of the track.

After the display is running, press [Up] to increase or [Down] to decrease its speed. Press [Circle] to get a random display.

After the display is running, hold [X] while pressing [L2]. The display will pause for approximately three seconds and then start again. The yellow pause circle will appear in the upper-left of the screen to confirm the screen shot.

After the display is running, hold [X] while pressing [Up] or [Down]. Blue bars will appear on the side of the screen to show the size of the display.

Record music video display
After the display is running, you can create and replay your own "music video" by holding [Triangle] and pressing [R1]. A red circle will appear in the lower right corner to show it is recording. When done, hold [Triangle] and press [L1] to play it again.

In music video mode, hold [Triangle] and press [R2] to pause the video only; it saves the recorded video to the memory card. Holding [Triangle] and press [L2] only pauses the video; it loads the saved video file from the memory card.

Skip Sony and PlayStation screens
Note: This trick requires a GameShark or Pro Action Replay cartridge. Turn on the GameShark or Pro Action Replay, turn on the PlayStation, then turn off the GameShark or Pro Action Replay. The PlayStation will skip the introduction screens and go directly to the game.

Soundtrack
Place a PlayStation disc in an audio CD player and play tracks two and higher. The soundtrack of many games can be heard this way.

Custom soundtracks
You can listen to a music CD on your PlayStation when playing some games. After some games get loaded on the PlayStation, the CD will not be continue running. Open the lid, remove the game CD, and replace it with a music CD of your choice. This does not work on every game and remember to put the PlayStation game disc back in when it is going to load.

Preventing skips
Sometimes a game will skip even though it is brand new. To fix this, use something to prop the PlayStation on its side.
