There has been a significant increase in fake PlayStation 1 discs being sold on AliExpress, a well-known online marketplace.

Do these actually work on unmolded consoles?

I imagine if the legacy silicon hardware is straight from the factory the shape of the plastic doesn’t really matter too much

In all seriousness, afaik not unless they can replicate the wobble groove pressed into the discs, which is possible if they can press their own discs in bulk, but probably more expensive than it’s worth unless they are selling a ton of these
