That’s one reason I’ve ordered a few titles from PlayAsia recently. For example, the NTSC switch edition of the Metal Gear Solid collection requires downloading the titles. With the PlayAsia edition, lo and behold- everything is on the card, and multiple languages to boot.

These older consoles are simple repairs. Start with replacing the capacitors on the board. If that doesn’t do it, you can find the problematic component with a multimeter

Proof that all we have to do to put a stop to this nonsense is just not play these parasitic titles.
