>With the PlayStation Classic’s release less than a month away, I went to PlayStation HQ this week for three hours of hands-on time with Sony’s nostalgic mini-console. It plays its selection of 32-bit classics like Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil: Director’s Cut just fine, but the features of the device are pretty much the bare minimum.
>To be released on December 3, the $100 PlayStation Classic has 20 games from Sony’s first console and includes two controllers—not Dual Shocks, but the standard D-pad-only models that originally shipped when PlayStation first hit the shelves in 1994. Like Nintendo’s NES and SNES Classics, the machine is a tiny, perfect replica of the original. Unlike Nintendo’s machines, Sony’s uses a standard USB connection for the controllers.
>PlayStation Classic also replicates one of the slightly annoying features of Nintendo’s boxes: To get back to the game selection menu, you have to reach over to the console itself and press the Reset button. The button that would have opened the disc drive on the actual PlayStation is functional on the Classic as well; you use it to change discs during multi-disc games. Power is still Power.
>It’s never a guarantee that a plug-and-play system like this will get the emulation right, but from my time jumping around between the PlayStation Classic’s games, it seems like this part is good enough. The games look and sound accurate, their mid-90s jagged pixels looking like you could grate a block of cheese with them. (A listing of licenses for open-source software accessible in the PlayStation Classic’s menu said that it uses the open-source PlayStation emulator PCSX ReARMed.)
>Oddly, many of the games on the PlayStation Classic were the European versions. When I booted up Final Fantasy VII, for example, I got the classic “Licensed By Sony Computer Entertainment of America” splash screen. But when I ran Battle Arena Toshinden, Grand Theft Auto, or Tekken 3, the screen said “Licensed By Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.” There are some tiny differences that I could spot in the games, such as having to select a United Kingdom flag from a menu if you wanted Grand Theft Auto’s text to display in English. (I’m not sure if there are any major differences buried later in any of the games.)
>PlayStation Classic assigns a separate virtual Memory Card to each game. When you exit out of a game you’ve saved and go back to the menu, there’s a Memory Card icon below each one that will let you view or delete your save data, just as you did on the original PlayStation. The save data icons that show up in this menu are just as they were on the original, so your first Final Fantasy VII save will be represented by an icon of Cloud, the second by Barrett, and so on.
>I’m less impressed with the way the Classic handles its “save anywhere” feature. You only get one such slot for each game. When you press Reset, your game will be automatically saved in that slot. Start the game up, play some more, and press Reset again, and you won’t be offered a second slot to save in. You’ll just be asked if you want to overwrite the game saved in that one slot. Nintendo’s systems have four save slots, which would have been nice to see here.
>“Bare-bones” is probably the most accurate summation I can give of the PlayStation Classic so far. There are no special screen borders or graphic display options. There’s a QR code that will load up manuals on the PlayStation website, but it wasn’t functional during the preview event. There’s a screensaver option that will dim the screen after a few minutes. Even the game selection menu itself is strictly utilitarian; there’s no nostalgic theme song or other cute additions.
I dont understand why Sony would use PCSX ReARMed when it is slower and less compatible than their own emulator (POPS) they used on the PSP and Vita

Because they wouldn't have to maintain their own version and limit their accountability. Maintenance/long term support is where software really makes/loses money, not initial purchases.

They might not be using all of PCSX. Them listing the license in the agreement means that they use at least some of it for some things. I wouldn't be surprised if they used POPS on some games and PCSX on others depending on compatibility, or even rewrote some of PCSX (though they'd have to release their changes, because PCSX is GPL).
Doing it this way makes a lot of sense for Retroarch, because it would allow them to use both emulators while giving the end user a consistent interface and experience.

Retroarch doesn't "use" an emulator. Retroarch is a specification for emulators to be written as libraries that it interacts with to make a complete emulator. It's a platform. Saying Retroarch uses emulators is like saying that Windows "uses" programs.
"lazy" doesn't really come into the equation for business practices. If lazy saves money and gets the same thing done with less effort and cost, than it's a victory.

That's true, but for one, they already have their own emulator, for two, Nintendo put their own emulators on their minis even if the emulation is shit, and for three, relying on some random autists in basements to make the software for your big new product is just fucking sad. It's not like their own emulation solutions were terrible, perhaps needed a fix or two. This isn't even a save of money or time, moreso just the kikes rubbing their hands and giving you the bare minimum simply because they can.
In other words, it's kinda like the PS4.

> relying on some random autists in basements to make the software for your big new product is just fucking sad
Not really. As a professional programmer, it's par for the course. Microsoft, Apple, IBM, Nintendo, Sony, and countless others all rely on hobbyist software. The BSD TCP stack, Curl, sqlite, and openssl were all originally made on people's free time (though they all make a lot of money off of consulting and support now), and all of those are integral parts of every single major operating system in existence and game console. A few of them, like Curl and SQLite, are still each made by the one dude who started the whole thing. This isn't really new.
Looking at people like Byuu, sometimes autists in a basement are really fucking good at making this kind of software. I can't speak for the quality of PCSX or POPS, though. Them using somebody else's emulator instead of their own indicates that the external one was better. Using the best tool for the job isn't really sad.
Looking at Nintendo's and Sony's track record on emulation quality, the hobbyists are often way better at this kind of programming than the companies themselves.
>>15704481
Not surprised. Sony is a shit company well known for abusing their customers and litigating in the name of profit.
I'd never defend Sony as a company. Sony is shit. All I'm pointing out is that people here are looking at a completely ordinary programming practice and seeing it as "lazy kikes" rather than building technology on existing technology. Nobody would look at a car company using existing parts for a new product as lazy. No industry completely reinvents every single part of any new product.

If you're still wary about using your main PSN account, just create a new one.

While hugely ironic, this isn't necessarily illegal for them to do. PCSX-ReARMed is licensed GPLv2 which does allow commercial usage provided the "copyleft" terms are met. Its implementation may be a possible issue depending on how it ties into the rest of the system, but there have been historic work-arounds for this, such as with how jDoom (Doomsday now) used to deal with the Raven source code license for the Heretic and Hexen parts by linking them to the main in a specific way. That's thankfully no longer a problem since they relicensed it to GPL, like Doom did a while back. That had its own restrictive license that thankfully got expunged from GZDoom in favour of cleaning it to be entirely GPL.
As another bit of related Doom history, Risen3D got into strife one time for being a fork of jDoom without providing source code, to the point that they eventually ragequit and took it down, and shortly after, backing down and just releasing the source code.

Oh right and I do use PSN on my Vita, same one linked to my PS3, but don't play multiplayer with it or do things like cross-save or trophy syncing. Online is limited to PS Store basically. So far I've been fine. What I can't tell you is if ReNpDrm still works since my system is activated legitimately. Doing so typically requires a firmware update and you ideally want to only go up to 3.65.
If your PSTV is activated on a PSN account currently, jailbreak it enough for VitaShell and back up the following files first. Then if you're worried you can create a dummy account. If you don't have any Vita stuff on your PSN just make a dummy account actually. You will have to factory reset to do this without updating though.

That's completely incorrect. You never even read the GPL. Sony has to release the source code because it is distributed GPL software. There are no exceptions to this. That's why the BSD license exists. BSD Licensed software does not have to be distributed with the source. GPL does.

I think he's referring more to the fact that each game gets its own card, thus no save data bonuses even if they had deigned to get Symphony of the Night or Suikoden on there alongside Metal Gear Solid. To be fair though, PS1 memory cards were really fucking small, at 1 MB/15 slots each if memory serves. But the better option would probably be to allow for toggling between 2-3 VMC to at least one save file per game, plus some extra room.

The intended base are either nostalgiafags that want an official emubox, or people that have never looked into the PS1 before. Titles chosen being a $100 sampler pack of sorts, of which the former is still apt to be dissatisfied with due to it having such a small selection that misses a ton of "mustplays" and an inherent lack of analog control being included. As for general emulation, I'm assuming that's still a grey area for the masses, who either are leery because piracy isn't legal, or who buy into the idea that emulation itself is illegal too.
Personally, if you ask me a better idea would be for it to run eboots, have a connection to the PS3 era PSN, and allow people to pick twenty (if still assuming that limit) games of their choosing to install onto it. Obviously piracy is still the better answer since the PSN still missed a lot of worthwhile games for whatever reason, and fuck giving Sony money at this point, but it would be more apt to satisfy the nostalgiafag that way than lacking essentials, and actually make the newfag have to do a little research into the library.

Even when Sony was still a Japanese company just a few years ago their TVs and phones were shit. I thought Japs were supposed to make the best stuff. Same goes for Japanese autos Honda and Toyota are reliable and decent but Subaru, Nissan and Mitsubishi, ruin Japanese cars are best meme.

>I dont understand why Sony would use PCSX ReARMed when it is slower and less compatible than their own emulator (POPS)
Because they will no doubt be using an off-the-shelf ARM chip just like Nintendo did to run the emulation, so using an emulator optimized for ARM is a natural choice. POPs was built for their own hardware, which would be more expensive to produce.

Yeah, but at least Nintendo had people under their Euro branch custom fit an in-house emu for those Classics, though only tweaked in the mappers and chipsets necessary while foregoing the rest

It's more likely that they just don't want to port the thing to a new platform and OS.
They would probably want to protect it too so people can't just rip it out so now they have to invent some DRM shit.
And so they went for the copy-paste solution instead. It's cheaper in every way.

Hold on so does this mean that these people are actually paying for an emulator in a plastic box? They're going to repackage something free into something you have to pay for just because it has the sony logo on it? Aren't the customers for these things the same good goys that say emulation is evil?

If it weren't for Playstation 1 and 2, two thirds of the videogames we got since '93 would not exist at all. It's a shame Sony fell to the deep end, but then again all the big 3 need to die now.

This is good news, as long they dont use the shitty pops emu or some retarded mednafen version. The game pre installed are also great and i think it is great to get the very first gen controller of the ps one.

No game company needs to die, they only need a good pounding. Xbox became a lot better after the XBone launch fiasco, Nintendo also became a lot better after the WiiU, Steam became more free after anime fans threatened to flood to GOG and the Agony launch problem where they pretty much did what Sony is doing now, and buttfucked a dev company with censorship weeks before launch, and so on.
Sony right now is winning too much times in a row, and just like every videogame company they became too cocky and are now going in the anti-consumer direction. If they keep it up, next gen they will once again get another pounding like happened to the Ps3 launch, and learn the lesson.

Mednafen core have one of the highest accuracys between PSX emulators and is also open source like PCSX. The literal only reason to why they are choosing one instead of the other is because mednafen uses more CPU power, and they want to save money selling cheap 2010 cellphone tier hardware to dumb people.
>and i think it is great to get the very first gen controller of the ps one
Some games are complete shit on it, like the Medal Honor ones. Once again, a choice made to save money on hardware to cash in on retards, rather than making a good product. Those little choises may save things like 2 or 3 dollars in the price of the final product, but when you multiply to all the consoles sold in total it becomes a difference of millions. Does these decisions make sense as an executive decision? Absolutely. Does it convince me to buy one? Hell no, I want nothing with cashgrabs. They should at least make different versions, one with focus on mass selling and another one focused on actual quality.

ReARMed is a much better emulator than POPS.
Also, I don't know that the latest version of POPS runs on anything but PlayStationOS, whereas ReARMed runs just fine on any barebones POSIX running busybox or BSD/GNU coreutils.
This way, they can run it easily on spare ARM processors without a ton of additional OS stuff.

Nintendo was retarded with the form factors of cartridges, that were much more expensive than CDs during the 5th gen. Sega did a complex and expensive design that made devs scratch their heads.

I will never be OK with this.
Also, the new Mummy have a nice game, called "The Mummy Demastered". It's pretty good, the only good thing that came out of that mess of a movie That I only watched because /mahboy/ Jack Jonhson was on it.

It wasn't pozzed, so I could see why corporate marxists would hate it. It also had a great aesthetic going on. It's funny that despite the film being just as good as the original it flopped, but like you said, the original did too.

I see more praise for it than negative criticism but it was a slow burn and very long so I'm unsurprised that casual audiences mighta not liked it much. It's biggest issue might be jared letos character, every time he spoke up it opened a weird plot hole but overall its still a pretty solid movie and for what its worth it has a lot of nice shots
