/vr/ - Retro Games

Anyone have any clue if there's any work being done into getting freepsxboot to work on fat PS2s? It supports like every single model of PS1 so I can only assume there's some technical limitation preventing it from working on the PS2 via the memory card despite tonyhax working fine.

All I've ever wanted was my PS2 to be an all-in-one PS1/2 piracy box...

why were 80s girls so much hotter than modern girls

I wasn't even alive in the 80s

it's not fair

Say what you will about Tiger handhelds, these pieces of shit had infinitely more soul than any of the trash you'll find on your phone's app store.

>it will never be the mid-to-late 90s again
>you will never drive around to garage sales and buy up people's entire childhood collections for pennies
>now everyone watches pawn stars and shit and thinks their loose atari 2600 game cartridge missing its label and with clear water damage is worth $1.2 million USD

I still think about the PS2 as "the new playstation"

that warning was why my mom only let me play video games on our old broken CRT through my entire childhood...

I always wanted a megaman gameboy game as a kid but all I got was the tiger handheld

television went through that fad with antiques/abandoned storage units/pawn shops/etc... shows and suddenly every normie out there who would've sold their kid's NES collection for pennies suddenly thought the thing was worth $80,000 USD

>you will never do another a late 90s midnight jack-in-the-box run with your bros during a break in your epic lguk exp session

why even live...

is there a shader that will give me that feeling that you got as a kid on christmas morning and your parents are still alive and you open a present and it's that game you've been begging them to get you for months?

I wish rl was like jrpg and you could just go into the forest and kill stuff for a living...

the same thing I've played every night for the past 21.5 years...

everquest...

>illusion of choice
>reality is that you have to make all the choices so it's really just a list of grinding checkpoints

is there any shader that will make me enjoy video games and being alive again like I did back when I was 8?

I miss the days when I genuinely liked video games instead of only ironically liking video games...

how'd it all go so wrong
