fucking hell I'm talking about the games. When one says "that console is good" do you start rambling about the quality of materials? fucking autists the lot of you

>>5225982
My N64er. :D

yeah man the psx is the sweet spot . psx games take me right back to 1999. something magical about it. fuck the haters

>>5225959

I love mine, but my disc drive died.

What would be a good replacement part? It is the early one with the game shark port in the back.

>>5225986
>My car's brakes are shot, but maaaaaaaaaaan can it sure get you to places fast!

>>5225994
just pop your ps1 games into your ps3

>>5225986
I was just making a goof >>5225981 asshole.

>>5226000
It is shocking how many people don't realize that one.

>>5225986
stick a thumb up your ass and play helicopter

>>5226000

But all my saves are on memory cards.

Plus I hear the model with the gameshark port is super easy to hack for downloaded games.

Yikes...

NES is the comfiest for me, but I do adore the PlayStation. Some of my best memories involve Tony Hawk and a group of friends.

PSX JRPGs were the height of the genre. Outside of JRPGs there weren't many games I enjoyed on the system. I still played my NES and Genesis a lot when I wanted action games during those days.

this board really gives you cancer

It's the least nostalgic for me out of the major retro consoles. Didn't trust Sony at the time, so I was happy playing Nintendo and Sega and computers instead.

>>5226009
because it's one of the worst way to play da psx-gaemu

>>5225986
Don't forget to turn your console upside down.

>optic drive-based system
>comfy

>>5226017
They actually made an adapter for the PS3 where you can transfer your saves to and from PS1 and PS2 memory cards. It also allows easy installation of FreeMCboot using a PC. And copying saves onto PC with certain drivers.

>>5227497
My PSIO arrived on Friday, I should never need to use a disc with my PS1 ever again.

>>5227607
Make sure you document your install for the guro thread ;-)

>>5227607
I’ve already had it done by a pro. I ordered a separate chip so I could get it installed before the PSIO arrived.

>>5227668
Reply to >>5227641

>>5226000
Do this only if you think input-lag doesn't exist. Then you can complain about the game always being as non responsive.

>>5227607
Did you get the chip installed Profesionally? If you did, how long did it take from you shipping your motherboard to getting it back in your hands with the chip installed?

Mine does not come till March 2019 so was wondering how long it takes for the installation.

>>5225959
agreed.

bad 3d games are comfy

>>5227520
Hand it's fuckin cool to play save games from two decades ago.

>>5227607
Cool
>$150
Go fuck yourself, I'll keep burning cdrs and using a bootloader. I bought a lid switch from radio shack for $1 and you only have to solder two points.

>>5225959
was it your first console?
If yes, you have your answer.

>>5227712
It's technically $110 since that price is in Australian currency. I would say it's worth it since my PSOne's laser keeps skipping.

>>5227693
Yeah I got it installed by Video Game Perfection. Took a month from sending it to receiving it back completed.

>>5227727
it's my second after the genesis. It's just that there's something strangely comfy about early 3D

>>5227729
>replacing the optical drive for $10 vs spending $110 on PSio
Really gets the noggin joggin

>>5227772
$110 is nothing and flascarts are convenient as fuck. You can fit 400-500 PS1 games on a 256gb SD card. Plenty of room for all of the good stuff without the junk titles.

>>5227792
Why don't you just get an SBC? Works just as well and you can actually fiddle with graffix.

>>5227796
What is a SBC

>>5227806
Single board computer. Raspberry piece of shit or odroid or whatever you think is pretty.

Back to /v/ underage no one likes the gaystation here.

>>5225959
Because "comfy" is a meaningless, blanket term used by idiots who lack two brain cells to rub together to explain why they like something.

>>5227792
well if it's worth it to you then whatever anon
I just know I'm not gonna pay some kangaroo $110 for something I could get free

lots of haters for the best console ever made. perhaps you're mad that your mom bought you a Nogames64 and no friend could lend you games because you were the only one with it, leaving you with no option other than re-mortgage your house to buy one of those mega-expensive cartridges

>>5228002
You are the very definition of a disgusting normie lel
who hurt you and your plebstation?

>>5228017
are you telling me that the NES and the GameBoy were disgusting consoles because they were popular? were you that lone atari lynx kid in the school?

>>5228025
Don't distract, normie. I could afford every system under the sun(banker parents) but went straight for the exotic stuff. You are a plebeian.

>>5228031
sorry I don't talk to jews

fucking leave /v/. stop praising this shitty console

>>5228037
I'm white lol but you are alright

>>5228064

>>5225959
excuse you

>>5228082
No not (((that))) kind of white, real non-shape-shifter-white

>>5228096
95% of saturn games are arcade, which isn't a bad thing but at the same time they're frantic experiences and thus can't be comfy

>>5225959
It was made when Sony was still primarily a company that made Music playing devises, so there was always a big emphasis on Sound.

Games back then were still mostly known for bitcrushed midi files and beeps and boops. That booming intro with the big washing lights, followed by the dark screen with soft whistling instruments really set the standard for it.

As a result, you were a lot more inclined to hook this thing up to a bigger TV with a better sound system in a nice part of the house.

>>5228106
I like my games with stimuli, not mild relaxant

>>5228119
your preferences are alright, but that doesn't mean that DoDonPachi is suddenly a comfy game

>>5225959
Because the GameCube isn't /vr/ worthy yet.

>>5228096
Only comfy if you were Japanese. The Saturn had barely any releases at all outside of that.

fucking zoomers liking the shitstation

>>5228121
But these games lift me in some kind of zone or zen, where you stare miles behind the screen and somehow everything flows. It's great.

No, I don't take dubious stuff or anything.

>>5228106
I disagree, games like Cotton, Puzzle Fighter, NiGHTS, Game Paradise can all be pretty comfy, I don't think arcade games and comfy-ness are mutually exclusive

>>5228135
you don't need to know japanese to play half the shit released in japan anyway

>>5227520

The adapter is one way, right?

For copying to PS3?

I think I have one somewhere.

>>5228162
Yeah but at the time, you couldn't play them. You were just stuck with whatever half a dozen games the store decided to stock before they pulled support a few months later.

>>5225959
>biggest console library so you could have some enjoyment by throwing a dart and playing it
>controller fits nicely
>not the best graphics (or frame rate) but everything looks sharp and clear (in a sense)

>>5228349
t.zoomer sonybro

>>5228368
>t. no arguments 64

>>5225959
>Dual Shock
Sticks halfassedly added to the existing controller are not comfy.

>>5227607
are games with XA still fucked?
>>5227986
>for something I could get free
you get cd-rs for free where?
>>5228292
yes

>>5225990
Same , I'd say n64 or sega CD is most /comfy/

>>5225959
I tried, it's nowhere as comfy as the $5 pillow I got from Walmart. In fact I now have a sore neck.

>>5225959
Because it has the best library of video games anyone could ask for to this date

I think that Sega Genesis is more comfortable

>>5228349
Disagree on the controller, I have never found dualshocks to be comfortable to hold. I use one for playing dreamcast but only because my adapter doesn't let me use a Saturn 3D controller, and god help the person forced to use a dreamcast pad.

>>5229670
I'd vote for SNES, the games are pretty slow-paced and easy for the most part, so very easy to relax and enjoy. Genesis is too intense to be comfy, CD or not.

N64 isn't bad, but I don't find harsh 3D and low framerates to be comfy. Tetrisphere is good tier zone out game though.

>>5225959
No idea but the startup screens and sounds always made me feel like they took me right away into video game land.

>>5229641
XA is fixed as of the 4th December firmware update. I believe they moved the processing from the ARM to the FPGA.

>>5229641
>you get cd-rs for free where?
You would be surprised.

>>5225959

So... No.

it did, all you brainlets can think of is "muh sales" and don't see the bigger picture. You don't need a big presence to infect the medium, all parasite populations start small

>>5227641
desu the install is pretty easy so long as you take your time.

>>5225959
Because it's the perfect size & flatness for resting your beer upon it.

>>screencapping rpgcodex posts

I swap a pair of dr martens boots for a psx almost 20yrs ago

I knew it was stolen but meh

When i opened it tony hawk was in it

>a bit of wee came out

Why Megaman Legends on PS1 over 100$ now? All PS1 games are overpriced

>>5227727
Bootleg NES was my first console.
I got into psx games last year and I can confirm, it's very comfy indeed.

back to rpgcodex faggot

>cd quality audio, (at least jap games had) amazing sound design
>most satisfying boot screen of all time
>lots of super interesting and creative games that nintendo would never have greenlit
>great jrpgs, great survival horrors
and most importantly
>i had one and not an n64 so all my comfy late 90s gaming memories are on psx

>>5225959
Because its library is rad.

>>5231556
thanks for this post, there's this strange notion in /vr/ that the playstation has a bad library

>>5227772
>replacing the optical drive for $10

Replacing it with what? Another 20 year old drive? Finding one that isn't showing the early signs of failure is honestly getting tough at this point.

>>5231576

Nintendo manchildren are delulded soibois that cannot get over the perfection that the PS1 was.

>>5225959
Nothing will ever be comfier than playing Quake 64 at 3am while listening to Alice in Chains and getting high, basking in the glow of the CRT and a dim yellow flood light.

>>5228002
Of course you wouldn't like the N64 since it was targeted toward people with friends.

>>5233206
now this guy understands atmosphere. typical big dick n64 mack daddy

>>5233216

>RNG simulators
>shitty FPS running at 10 fps
>implying PS1 had no multiplayers

Instead of putting 4 controllers inputs, soitendo should've focusing on making a good console.

>>5233221
>RNG simulators
First the N64 is nothing but collectathons, now it's the exact opposite? Kind of ironic anyway, given that the PS1 is the go-to console for JRPGs which are largely nothing but RNG. Not that you even know what RNG stands for, but still.
>shitty FPS running at 10 fps
You mean like DOOM on PS1? Only "10 fps" shooter I know of is Perfect Dark, and that's only when you're playing with a ton of people and explosives. All of the other run great, DOOM 64 is 30-60fps unlocked.
>implying PS1 had no multiplayers
Of course it did, but the lack of four controller ports made the N64 an obvious choice for people with friends, and developers followed suit. If you think the PS1 offers anything remotely as good as the likes of Goldeneye or Smash in terms of multiplayer, you're dead wrong. At least Quake 2 on PS1 was pretty good, just too bad the N64 has an even better version.

Both consoles were great and also had flaws, but pretending the N64 wasn't grrat is retarded. Sorry your parents didn't buy you both like mine did faggot.

>>5233274

>if you dislike it is because you didnt have it

Everytime.

>>5233276
>no argument to refute anything I said
Every time. You can dislike the console all you want, but when you shit on it for retarded reasons don't be surprised when I call you retarded.

>>5233281

There's a reason no one in the world besides braindead consumerist ameriburgers bought this shitty console.

>>5233289
>jealous bong already turning it into a tribal shitflinging contest
What is it with eurofags and the American penis envy? I just don't get it, whenever I disagree with someone, my first inclinatiom is never to assume they're from some country I hate and use it as an argument. I can only guess it's some kind of weird projectiom. Anyway, in doing so, you've confirmed that you are A) a jealous bongistanian that never owned an N64, and B) quite possibly, medically, retarded. If you disagree, feel free to tell me about all the N64 games you played and why they were such shit.

>>5233301

I'm not European and that's literally what happened. n64 did horribly everywhere except for the US, where people bought it because it had Nintendo written on it.

>>5233274
>All of the other run great, DOOM 64 is 30-60fps unlocked

Theres was like 5 games on n64 that could run above 30fps.

>>5233304
So in other words, you're admitting you didn't own the console and yet you're preaching to me about how it sucks, lmao.

It's not too late dude, you don't have to stay an ignorant faggot forever. You can go out and buy the console you never had as a kid and enjoy amazing games like the two best Zeldas, Perfect Dark, the best DOOM, the best kart racers, the best platformers, the best puzzlers, lots of good stuff. You're only cheating yourself out of good games, all in the name of waiving some autistic flag for a 20 year old console you had as a kid. It's just sad man, go buy an N64 and shut up.

>>5233313

Pathetic. I played it a lot back then despite not owning it, and I've had it for years once I started collecting. Keep fellating Nintendo, their manchildren army is what keeps them relevant more so than good hardware or games.

>>5233317
>Pathetic.
Lmao okay Vegeta

Dog, I'm sitting here playing FF origins on my PS2 as we speak. I'm not fellating Nintendo, I'm just telling you that you're all sour grapes and you're missing out. Sadly you'll never see it because you're too busy huffing Ken Kutaragi's sushi farts. Anyway, L8r sk8r.

>>5233304
>only retarded americans would buy such a shitty console
>...but i played it a lot back in the day and bought one later
lol

>>5227772
>replacing one old, dying drive with another old, dying drive

>>5233341

I couldn't choose which console my friends would buy, could I?

>>5233347
you just said you bought one when you started collecting, are you retarded lol this nigga on damage control

>>5233351

But I did. I have disposable income and I collect hardware, besides those things are dirt cheap. I fail to see your point, it was meh as a kid, and I gave it a shot as an adult after getting one and formed my opinion.

>>5233353
uh yeah you did, and you just said only a braindead consumerist ameriburger would buy one lollll. youre tryina cope hard right now little nigga. i hope your retarded ass doesnt represent the iq of the average sony fan, god damn

>>5233357

Lol, leave your niggerspeak to your homies, you fucking subhuman.

>>5233360
i'm white, i just like talking that way so virgins like you will think you're getting outwitted by a nigger lmao. before responding with anything like "but you didn't outwit me" please first recall that you just called yourself a retarded cheese burger and we can go from there

>>5233367
>outwitted
You do you, fake nigger

>>5225959
When /vr/ started being a thing, the NES was the "comfiest console".

Now we're starting to get youtube celebrity consensus that NES is bad and this board hardly talks about anything before the PS1.

Pretty soon the PS2 will be the "comfiest". It's just kids aging.

>>5233195
