Based on my limited understanding, Sony didn’t make the drive ejection controls available to game developers. Maybe clever hackers could do it nowadays since the PS2 in particular has had its system architecture analyzed down to the molecular level. It’s probably not a good idea to tie the progress if your program execution to it, though, because of the above. Hardware revisions could change at any time.
Sounds like Kojima missed his opportunity. Maybe he couldn’t find the command that do this?
Given that the PS1 didn’t have a powered drive tray and the lid release was fully mechanical, he’d have to develop telekinesis first.
Huh? Metal Gear main franchise has been on every PS ever, and only PS1 is fully mechanical.
And the PS2 slim.
