Step 1.
Tape down a paper ball or something similar on the lid sensor (look below for location) in the PS1 so the lid can be open while it's spinning. You can also disassemble the PS1 and tape down the trigger within the console. If you prefer cleaner look.

Step 2.
Insert an original PS1 disc that you don't care much about. The disk can get damaged over time. Now lets begin by turning your console on.

Step 3. (complicated part)
The disc will speed up for a few seconds and when it slow down swap it with the backup. You must do this quickly.

Step 4.
The burnt disk will start to speed up for a few seconds. It will then slow down for about a second and speed back up for a few, It will slow down a second time. This is when you switch the original disk for the burnt one.

Step 5.
The original disk will start to spin and the screen will go black. When the screen goes black you switch the burnt disk for the original disk one last time.

This takes many attempts It took me a few hours. I suggest looking up a video for better reference
