    iirc this is the screen you would get when the PS2 was borked and wouldn’t boot properly, or something like that. It’s been a long time but I do still remember the terror I associate with this image lol

    Edit: Actually it might have been a disc read error

      It was a disc read error. In that era, the most likely issue was that your disc was too beat up to work properly.

        Another big reason, a lot of the earlier PS2 models had a poor quality laser that would go bad really quick

          That kind of trauma is probably why I had stopped using optical media by 2005.
