>Games are looking better than ever.

That's an obvious lie.

>>16689122

This says a lot about our industry, this post is art

>>16689119

Emulate and pirate. Never give money to companies or second hand scalpers.

>>16689228

shut the fuck up luciano

Nigger what are you doing. Just emulate.

still have my ps1 modded in a garbage bag in my closet with a pile of games, both legit and burned.

>>16689350

is persona 2 a big improvement over revelations: persona? i really liked the story/design of revelations but the combat was a complete slog, it takes hours of battle to cross one hallway in that game. i promptly stopped playing when i got killed by a toilet with infinite health and a one hit tpk.

Hardmodding is perfectly fine when the hardware and software and closed. If I recall correctly it’s a widely available generic Programmable IC and open source code for the ps1 hardware mod now.

The only cases when I don’t support it is when you have closed source mod chips being sold at a 30000% markup

why don't you make a better post?

>>16689350

I made sure to get umjammer lammy in particular, it's one of those games I played a demo of as a kid after beating parappa and never tried the full thing.

>>16689352

emulation is for gays, you're my proof

Emu or portable (PSP/Vita) is really the way to go with the PS1 these days. Having to burn discs is just dumb.

Look for games with pre rendered backgrounds. Digimon World 1, Resident Evil 2/3 and Final fantasies. This is really the peak of the pre-rendered era and where it shines the most. Some of those old renders have more details than games made today. They're a joy to look at.

>>16690282

I'm not familar with sixth gen pre renders

>>16690281

>Having to burn discs is just dumb.

You say that but it's been great playing on my rgb monitor and popping each disc in, filling up a booklet bit by bit. Using appropriate controllers is also a big bonus, tapping into that 20 year old muscle memory feels truly great that using a generic usb pad or keyboard or psp could never satisfy.

I just tried Rising Zan last night, hilarious and very fun. It's got a lot of similarities to god hand in its humor but I like the presentation in Zan a lot more. The combat is simple but very fun like a lot of those older 3d action games.

Another great thing about PS1 3D games is how experimental they were. Ghost in the Shell is a logical step for the Jumping Flash team but at the same time it's a wildly unique game that manages to adapt classic arcade bosses and control to a new type of game. I'm just playing the first stage of X5 as Zero right now but next up I'm gonna test out Omega Boost.

Also I found out a few PS1 games have copy protection that detects the mm3 chip, tetris with card captor sakura and tomba 2. I'll have to look into fixes for these, I imagine they're addressed with now ancient patches.

>PS 1

Recently played Parasite Eve 1 to completion. Played 2 but it didn't age well in my opinion. Currently workingvmt way through Wild Arms 1 to get to Wild Arms 2 (my personal favorite entry in the series).

I didn't have too many lesser-known PS1 games as a kid, just the usual Crash and Spyro. Guardian's Crusade/Knight and Baby was a nice budget JRPG though and Breakout was fun. Recently I finally got around to Klonoa and MGS1, I guess they're well known enough that you know what you're getting but I'd still reccommend you play them if you haven't

All he's even saying is that his games look better with RGB than with composite, dumbass

>>16690341

>look better with RGB than with composite

That's basic knowledge.

You don't need to make a post, much more a thread, to state this.

>>16690347

>You don't need to make a post, much more a thread, to state this.

Read at the rest of the thread and his OP then and stop bitching.

>>16689350

>>16689368

I haven't played a single Persona game. Should I start with 1 or one of the later games? I was told there's not much continuity otherwise I would

>>16690355

Make sure you emulate or play it on an actual TV. I tried it on a PSP and it was a dark muddled mess.

>>16690387

>Fucking furfags have way too much money to throw at whatever they find appeals to their fetish lifestyle

Try looking at prices for Solatorobo

>>16690387

Yep, replaying. I still have my original copies of Parasite Eve 1 (case held together with tape after all these years) and Wild Arms 1. As for Koudelka, I think I have a 3000. I honestly forget what model the MH3P edition is

>>16690394

Because furfags.

>>16690347

Red texters who make retarded posts like these need to be banned

Dino Crisis was pretty fun. I've never played RE so I don't know if DC is better or worse.

>>16689119

I've got an old PSX too, sadly the cd-drive is kinda fucked. It started to cause trouble sometime way back when I was a kid and obviously it hasn't gotten better by the years. Also it's not disk-swap capable, or at least I couldn't pull it off when I've heard about it because the fucked cd-drive has a kinda random rhythm. Everything takes ages to load. It's still fun to play Tekken 3 though. For Final Fantasies I prefer the PC versions with HD mods. I want to replay Spyro 3 at some point and I'd really love to play Suikoden II on real hardware but for that I'd probably need a chipped console or track down a copy and spend a fortune. Also it looks weird on my hdtv. My old CRT is a little too small and has a very bitchy scart handling. The PSX never managed to "dial through" unless there was something else like a VCR between the PSX and the CRT. But emulating a console I actually have, that'd be fucked up.

At the moment I'd rather invest in getting a SNES than in the PSX's restoration.

I remember PSX games to have been quite a hit and miss. There typically was one about everything and my parents would just buy me random ones sometimes. There was a Star Wars Episode I game I've played quite a bit but that wasn't that interesting in retrospective. There was a Alien game I've never knew how to play or something like that, there was even a Celebrity Deathmatch game, and there was Rugrats which I found pretty infantile when I was child.

Everyone had either Tekken 3 or that DBZ fighting game. Those were really fun.

Rayman 2, I've played it quite a lot but liked it better on the PC. I had the PC version for years, but only a 133 Mhz PC that couldn't run it so I was glad there was a playstation version. In 2003 I however got a new PC and it was much better.

On Rayman 1 they say the PSX is the ultimate version. I've always played the DOS version which was one of the best games ever, I've probably played it as much as Pokemon and Age Of Empires, it was kinda challenging and therefore totally addictive, this was my Super Mario.

Anyone who has a PSX and has never played it, get Rayman 1!

Also Spyro 3, playing it again for half an hour the controls seem totally strange but I remember how natural they felt in the old days.

>>16690394

Klonoa is a decent game that didn't get much attention.

Kingsley is unplayably bad mate. It's one of those janky games while people figured out 3D. May as well play Excalibur.

>>16690409

This makes sense. If a game sold very poorly but turns out to be decent it will have few games in the wild and a lot of collector fags wanting it.

>>16690409

PE2 is considered the better game and wasn't very popular at the time either. It goes more RE less RPG so wider fanbase.

>>16690779

>This makes sense. If a game sold very poorly but turns out to be decent it will have few games in the wild and a lot of collector fags wanting it.

Depends on how much attention it gets after the fact, really. For instance, I'd consider PS2 game Tsugunai rather good in it's own right and it sold like shit, but even the Fatlus that tend to buy up any of their favored publishers' games when they see them (as local stores attest to) still don't want it. Professional reviews from the time it was current not helping of course, and I kind of doubt many of the e-celeb scalper shills have been all that interested in covering it either, since it's been sitting rather comfy at $25-30 for a while, at least where I live.

>PE2 is considered the better game

Really? I tend to see anons give PEII shit for jumping on the Resident Evil train, but I suppose there's a difference in sample size.

>wasn't very popular at the time either.

Define "not very popular". Just saying as it it at least got a Greatest Hits print.

>It goes more RE less RPG so wider fanbase.

That would make some sense.

>>16692277

Actually, scratch that. Only the first Parasite Eve sold well enough to get a Greatest Hits. I suppose it's a case where the former was more enjoyed by Squaresoft fans in the day while the second might be easier for general people to get into these days.

I swear I've seen Greatest Hits copies of PEII though.

I'm reminded how casuals don't know shit about display.

Before HDTVs became common, people would complain that certain 360 games are unreadable - but barring a few ones they were perfectly readable if you used RGB, they would just use shitty default composite cables.

Then there were all these niggers saying comments like "haha he still uses component cables!" when they were obviously thinking about compoSITE. Component was perfectly cromulent for HD, HDMI is just more convenient.

But the funniest thing was when back in school I had a rich classmate who got a launch PS3 and the best HDTV you could own in 2007… connected with composite. He was still in awe how high definition it was and the other guys were convinced too, and when I tried pointing it out like the kid in Emperor's New Clothes they were just telling me I'm jealous.

>>16693144

Strange how composite was that popular in the states. In Europe we just used RGB (Scart Connector) for everything except the antenna. The only thing that ever used composite was small camcorders.

>>16693171

I'm European, which is why I've mentioned RGB. Back in the sixth gen and at the start of seventh, I would just see everyone use default composite since that's what usually came packaged with the console, they'd only get superior RGB scart if they cared and knew more about display or if someone tipped them off that it's a better way.
