I have an old Playstation1 and when I was playing Gran Turismo on it the pause menu came up even though I didn’t press the start button, and no matter how many times I press continue the same thing happened again and again. I know there is no problem with the disc seeing as I was experiencing the same thing with Hydro Tunder. I’ve already tried resetting and turning it on and off
You might want to try a new controller and see if the issue persists there. Try a different controller and see if this behavior continues.
