    Are we praying that the disc loads, or are we praying along with the holy sounds that were the PlayStation startup sounds?

      Why would the disk not load? I properly stored it on the middle of the uncased CD stack.

      Or praying the space ship flies true.

      I remember there was an Easter egg but I can’t recall if it was related to no disc and then loading an audio cd or something else. You’d have a small space ship flying around and towards and away from the screen almost like a screensaver.

      It’s been almost 30 years though so I’m a little hazy on the details.

      It’s bugging me that I can’t find it online anywhere.

      Little of both. This is where you might encounter a boot error, between the white and black screens. But I never saw one that I didn’t forcibly make happen when modding. At least not with PlayStation’s. Xbox red rings were common as fuck, and they would also occur during the startup logo sequence.
