/vr/ - Retro Games

Play the good games, spend the rest of your time learning actual skills, making friends, having sex, and making more money. Thank me in ten years when your life isn't a fucking regret filled mess.

>>5901631
It's called ISO image on CD based systems, not rom.

Just download and play what you like instead of being an autist who thinks he's going to play the entire library only to burn himself out.

>>5901631
PS1 ISOs are anything from around 100mb to 2gb, so I'd say about two terabytes for everything.

>>5901643
This, I mean there's some literal garbage and a lot of it. Don't think you'll adopt any sort of metric of how long you will be playing that crap.

>>5901663
There are a few incomplete sets that are 7.8TB. People forget how big the ps1 library is.

>>5901663
>PS1 ISOs are anything from around 100mb to 2gb
at least call them games so you won't sound like an idiot

>>5901631

I currently have a 80% PAL / 90% US 1% Jap collection and its about 900gb, so I'd reckon about 1.5tb a 2tb for a complete set.

Hundreds of gigs

I have a complete 7zipped US collection. ~455GB

Way bigger than you have space for on your mommys iphone

All of them. You're an ESL zoomer. You'll get stumped on "E" Disney games.

Not him but the proper wording would be "Disc Images".
ISOs can not store cd audio, so that's why you really only see ISO files when you download old video games that didn't have music stored like that.
just saying ROM also is not correct, its HALF correct so one would look like HALF an ASS saying it.
one either asks "how much would a CD ROM collection be, or how much would a disc image collection be."
inbv4 more hate cuz 2019.

>>5901631
3.722 TB. Just hand pick things from CD based consoles. The file size of full sets end up just being asinine and isn't worth it like having a set for an older console. That being said you can still get most everything you'd ever want for the PS1 in well under a terabyte.

>>5902043
Amazing how all that oh so important and noble muh preservation flies out the window as soon as it gets a little difficult or expensive.

>>5901641
I bet you don't even call cartridges and games in general cassettes you IDIOT.

>>5901669
>There are a few incomplete sets that are 7.8TB
uncompressed, maybe.

>>5902343
Are people unironically storing uncompressed padded images?

>>5901643
He doesn't have to go full TMR and beat every game. Playing random garbage can be a lot of fun. If it very clearly sucks hard, go to the next game.

>>5902435
Nigger, it took me like a hour or two to label and uncompress my 130 games I downloaded.

>>5901641
just call them disc images. fucking retards. who the fuck uses .iso still? lmao.

Complete US set.
Don't have enough space for other regions. Currently. Need to upgrade my nas.

Would of sworn I had a set for pal as well, better go track that down.

>>5901639
So what's stopping you from doing all those things?

>>5901639
Jokes on you, I've had sex more times than I can count, can play the saxophone and change my own oil, have decent enough friends, and have enough money to do whatever I want and my life is still a regret filled mess. What now, fag?

>>5903175
I've finished installing my LAN, what's a good configuration for a local datacenter?

>>5901891
>>5901907
Then why don't you show me those 2gb PS1 ISOs, fags.

>>5903723
Keep going instead of doing dumb shit like trying to play every game on a system and solidifying that regret forever? Imagine your life now, but without music, skills, sex, friends, family, money,
and instead just faint memories of playing old shovelware games. Even if OP wants to just play games, there are literally enough good games across systems to spend all his time on, wtf would he play trash instead for some random counterproductive goal of 'playing all PS1 games'.

>>5903730
>image your life without having to maintain appearances
Sounds radical.

>>5903727
"ISO image is a term commonly associated with CD and DVD burning. An ISO image (or .ISO file) is a computer file that is an exact copy of an existing file system. An ISO can contain the entire contents of a CD-ROM disc or CD medium."
So, this terminology is correct, and its usage acceptable. You can go fuck yourself now, you flaming faggot.

How many yearly sports updates, generic snes graphics jrpgs and visual novels can you "have fun" playing

>>5902586

>>5903723
Fuck that other dude. As long as you are not hurting anyone else, do what you want. Have fun. That other dude is insecure.

>>5903918
>An ISO can contain the entire contents of a CD-ROM disc or CD medium.

But not CDDA, so if you want to play a game that has its audio stored as such you'll end up with a game without music.
so it doesn't contain "the entire contents of a CD-ROM disc or CD medium".
games like that should be backed up as bin/cue.

>>5903730
>imagine a life filled with having fun instead of trying to impress others
Sounds comfy

Moving big files (anything over 5MB) around the internet ain't cheap. It's probably why Emuparadise stopped offering downloads, they couldn't afford the bandwidth.

>>5905331
>Emuparadise stopped offering downloads
Oh, but you can still download from there. If you know the secret.....
But yeah you can use a Tampermonkey script to download from Emuparadise. I use it sometimes for stuff I can't find on archive.org.

>>5901631
The set I have is 1.72tb and includes one version of every full game on the system. If it isn’t available in English it’s the J version. All of them are converted to PBP. So it isn’t too bad

>>5905517
shut the fuck up fag, if you keep telling people then it'll be gone for good once that gets popular

>>5901641
Aren't they still ROM's? They are CD-ROM's...

Guns are for Walter Mitty manchildren.

The PSX US/EU corpus if 500 GB. It expands to slightly larger when unzipped. A 1 TB drive can hold all Playstation games.

>>5906571

I downloaded all the PSX Redump files from archive.org and I filled up a 1tb pretty quickly.
of course these are normal zipped, 7zip would be better but archive.org had them as normal zips.
so no, even if you deleted all the german/french/greek/italian/spanish stuff you'd still have more than 500gb with normal zipped files.

Go through recommendation lists, look for games similar to the ones you like, look through hidden gems lists (there’s good “100 games in 5 minutes” style videos to look for something that catches your attenttion)

Burn and print covers for your final selection. Put then on a nice looking, old school CD folder. Maybe reuse one from your youth and give it new life.

Look through this personal, lovingly handpicked collection of games to try, and have fun.

PS1 RAM images can add up pretty fast, so I'd advise to download some more storage space first

>>5907098

Where to download moar ram?
