>years ago
>got PSX
>only had 1 game
>got another one, but pirated
>didn't work because "didn't have the chip to run pirated games"
>uncle says you can run them by switching from the original CD to the pirated after the PS logo appears
>he tries with no result
>CD was really scratched so I don't even know if that's why it failed

Have anyone tried that? It has been ages since I don't have that PSX, but I still wonder if that was actually true and I don't have a way to test it, nor find info about it online.

Is doing that worth it? Seems easier and better option at that point to just get a really crappy pc and use it as a dedicated emulator machine.

well, that was years ago, and there weren't any known psx emulators at the time (or at least I dind't know of any), nor I had a pc which could run them.
