PS2 and PS3 both default to the menu when the disc is ejected or the door opened. The most notable use of this trick is in FFIX, which requires the end of the last dungeon of the game to be reached within 12 hours for Steiner's strongest weapon. To get the weapon AND every other item in the game REQUIRES the FMV skips to save time.

That's what I do. One way to get s-video on PS1 games is play them on a PS2 with s-video cords. That’s what I do.
