/v/ - Video Games

I try not to get too hung up on having missed out on old things. There are plenty of games that I missed out on playing as a kid, either because I didn't have the means or I just wasn't born yet. I won't ever be able to experience some of these things the way a child would, but I guess the trade-off is that I can access nearly anything from the past thanks to emulation and console modding.

>>Projects, that had promise and/or insisted in implementing more features, never moved beyond the "demo phase" or just became "good enough"

You're not missing anything being late, that's the 'scene' in general.

Fucking sucks that N64 emulation never got gud enough. It would have been the perfect emulation handheld.

>>16527213

Should have just installed in on your Vita, then you can play PSP games on a better screen with better controls.

Never too late m8. PSP is unintentionally the best thing Soyny has created in over a decade. I still use my pspgo as a romhack machine to this day as nothing else matches it in form. Shame SNES emulation never really got good on it though.

>>16527213

I hacked my psp for my sister to play

Took like a week of finding games to get it working

Was honestly easy

Homebrew is where youre fucked tho

Nobody cares about it apparantly

>the the party

Late and gay.

Been playing P3P on my vita through the psp emulator. I'v had my vita for a while so I've never seen the reason to re-buy a psp especially since the 2000 model uses micro usb and the ability to play vita games. You didn't miss out much, early homebrew was usually not to standard, and now it's mostly the remenants of when people stated to give up on the PSP to go to 3ds homebrew or vita homebrew. If you want to look for stuff, I would reccomend Wololo for homebrew stuff as the other anon said, and nopaystation if you want PSX and PSP games

Who are you quoting?

>>16529295

>P3P

Why are you playing the inferior PSP version instead of FES?

>>16529407

P3 is already inferior to any decent SMT release, the PSP version is just the most playable one.

>>16529407

A couple things. Namely me not minding visual novel style dialouge and world interaction. In addition, I'm a big portable guy, and it helps that I can play it on breaks or when noting is happening, especially since I'm out of the house a lot. I'm also the kind of guy who prefers the Mario Advance games with color fixes over the All Stars versions.

>>16529524

The All Stars versions have shitty physics, the GBA version are nice with fixed colors even with the voice sample spam.

>then the megaupload fuckery happens and i completely lose interest in october 2013

>solely because pirating now meant 100kbs rapidshare links or malware

This reminds me, after Megaupload went under I decided to join the pay to pirate crew and just signed up with an Usenet service to download PSP and PS3 games from alt.binaries. Best $10 I ever spent.

A modded PSP is great OP. Its flawless in terms of emulating psx games. It has very easy to find roms of PSP games. Got around playing the 2 PSP Ace combat games because of it. I would still jump on it.

Unfortunately mine stopped charging and I haven't got around to fixing it.

My PSP has sat collecting dust for over a year (I periodically recharge battery to 40-60% range). Could you lend a fellow anon a hand?

>1. a FUCKTON of transparent vertical lines and thin black horizontal lines coming from the edges of the screen, stretching and shrinking constantly. originally started as transparent vertical lines, then screen shifting, then black lines

read it was LCD or mobo. is there a way to tell which?

>2. power switch works like ass. have to push it in while sliding to get it to work. shutting down is a nightmare

I'd wager it's dirty contacts. or should I find a new one?

>3. charging port is fucked (rotate connector even 1 degree and it stops).

is it also loose or dirty contacts?

>4. battery cover has broken latch

is there fix or do I get a new one? (asking because customs sucks and finding parts is hard)

>>16529830

>flawless in terms of emulating psx games

<playing Digimon World 2003

<go to Asuka City Sewers (pretty early game in starting area)

<game will softlock when entering certain rooms

<try different POPs versions til getting one that works, but gets slowdowns

yeah right. though I'm really amazed to see POPs had multiplayer (IRShell patch enables it). It works, but will desync horribly so you both need to look at 1 screen.

>>16527537

Pretty damn comfy for a meme pic

The PSP was a wonderful handheld thanks to the amount of love the homebrew scene put into it. It sort of lives on thanks to Adrenaline for PSVita (Which for me is more or less a PSP with a better and bigger screen, comfier pad and two sticks, plus some nice added games)

>You never spent hours in bed grinding for materials in Patapon 2.

I feel sorry for you

PS1 emulation isnt perfect on PSP/Vita, but it's apparently miles better than the older PS2 equivalent from what Ive heard. The official eboots let you play a good chunk of the PS1 library and customs eboots can fill the missing gaps a bit even if they lead to varied results, they seem to work pretty well for JP titles over the NA/EU ones from my own experience.

>>16529983

>My PSP has sat collecting dust for over a year

Mine collected dust for about 4 years. Came back and my memory stick was corrupt, none of my games worked and the battery could not charge past 50%. Even weirder, I had a dream the night before about my psp only charging up to 50% when I woke up, then I actually woke up and it was only on 50%. Clearly I'm a god.

>>16527500

I never bothered grabbing a Vita myself, I assume it does a better job with PS games than the PSP.

>>16531204

>we're all the dream of an autistic funposter

Could you come up with something a bit better?

Remember when people would post converted anime for PSPs? Now that was comfy. Sometimes I feel like I should join or start a club for PSP owners owning their PSPs and enjoying things on them.

>>16531631

There used to be a lot of porn sites dedicated to the PSP too

>>16532000

Any hentai games or just low-resolution 3DPD shit?

>>16531631

there's still an ffmpeg preset for the psp,I use it to make videos for my vita at 960x544, since I'm not sure if any other codecs are supported besides the ones used in the video app.

Only thing I ever used my PSP for was soft-modding my OG xbox.

You know the real reason Japanese companies are having all of this “homebrew” shit is being shilled on fan sites and forums right now right?

It’s because the Gaijin caught the Japs with their pants down. And cellphones came in to give the finishing blow.

MS played the long game by nurturing two platforms at once, Xbox and Windows.

Overtime it became clear that people preferred choice for their virtual entertainment.

Most Cellphones have more customizability than a console. Consoles have been losing popularity for ages.

Now that Sony and Nintendo’s walled gardens are primed to lose market share they are desperate to appeal to consumer choice.

So now they must cobble together these pitiful scraps from modders, (who in years past they would have spat on), in an attempt to gain the staying power that the other platforms have.

Japanese Console makers have, for a lack of a better term, been left in the dust.

All they have left is marketing.

Which is why they are investing heavily in shilling and e-celeb faggotry.

Not that I’m happy about any of this.

Because of consoles, finally, going the way of the dodo, the future of PC is going to be filled with even more middle-man tomfoolery.

Most of it coming from Microsoft.

Which I am not looking forward to.

However, what is even more frustrating than the likely future is the present day.

The present day which is currently filled with shills and useful idiots who clamor with faux nostalgia for a shitty e-toy.

>You never spent hours in bed grinding for materials in Patapon 2.

>I feel sorry for you

I spent my childhood nights wandering the illustrious halls of Hogwarts castle in the first three Harry Potter games (PC).

Listening to the fantastic soundtrack by Jeremy Soule.

Instead of “grinding” for Bertie boxes every flavor beans I would explore magic passageways and secret entrances.

And at the end of those passageways there would be a chest filled with beans.

Ultimately for being one of my first games, it hold a special place in my heart, as I’m sure Patapon does for you.

However, anon I must say, if you ever do have kids, make sure THEIR first game isn’t a fucking rhythm game.
