The fuck is the point of getting a real console just to pirate games for it? Either just emulate on your PC, or buy real game discs to play with your original hardware, faggot.

You may be nostalgic for it, but to act like it's superior? Fucking lol

>>7437859
Software emulation isn't perfect. It's playable, but can introduce bugs, graphical glitches, framerate issues (for games that tie game events to frame counting) that you don't get on original hardware. Also, physical games are expensive, have the possibility to be vulnerable to disc rot (if you got an unlucky copy) and take up space. ODE devices emulate the disc reader only, allowing for the most accurate game experience while also removing a lot of moving parts from the equation, which is good because more moving parts means more points of potential failure. It is the best option for longevity.

Mine is still working fine after 25 years. Have you ever even owned a ps1?

>>7438623
This.

>>7437648
I'll probably be adding one soon-ish to my 5501 as well. Don't know if I should bother with PS1Digital as I still own a CRT with official S-Video cables. What do you bros think?

>>7440153
Honestly there's so many other ways to make PS1 look good on HDTVs it's only really worth it if you want the absolute best of the best, even if just playing it on a PS3 or something really isn't a huge jump.

Your games have no worth, your games have disc rot, your games are not wanted.
You are a disgusting boomer twisted by greed and desire into a coomlecting manchild.

All the "validation" you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you.
Your kids are disgusted and ashamed of you, your "friends" laugh at your extensive collection behind closed doors.

Everyone is utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of evolution and here you are collecting retro video games.
Even coomlectors who are "nice" look uncanny and unattractive to a normal human. Your hairline is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a girl home with you, She'll turn tail and bolt the second she gets a whiff of your disc rotted games.

You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it's going to be ok.
but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you like the unbearable weight of your coomlection.

Eventually it'll be too much to bear - you'll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss.
Your kids will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment.
They'll bury you with a headstone marked with only your name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will never know of your coomlection. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and nothing will remain of your video game legacy as your kids will unmistakably sell them off.

This is your face. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

This is what we call a classic case of zoomer cope.

Hell no. It barely worked in the first place, now it's been completely lapped it's not worth shit.

>>7441208
sorry you weren't out of daddies nut sack to enjoy playing and collecting games when they were cheap. Its ok though, you can go play download emulators on your iphone

>>7437648
I'm waiting for in my mail, too.

After checking recommendations at:
https://vsrecommendedgames.fandom.com/wiki/PlayStation/

I found out that 128GB SD card is not enough and I landed at little over 200GB. What should I trim from that list or just get 256GB card?
RPGs alone is over 50GB unpacked, and there's like the same amount of shumps/fighters and many multi-disc games.

>>7441442
Almost all of the shmups/fighters that have Saturn/DC ports are better on those, along with Grandia, Dino Crisis 1, Megaman 8, RE 2/3, the Tony Hawks, Toy Story 2, Worms Armageddon, Tomb Raider The Last Revelation. Doom PS1 is shit IMO but I guess it's just personal preference.

>>7441440
Emulation sucks, coomlecting sucks, pirated games on original hardware is good tho

>>7438636
Replacement drives exist

>>7441776
>Stockpiling replacement drives
>Not replacing cheap hardware with a permanent solution

There really isn't a good reason to be constantly opening and closing a system that was never intended to be opened in the first place, even if you really want to be using your disk collection. I own PDS and I'm still going to replace my Saturn's drive with an ODE once the first cd drive dies whenever that is

>>7441515
Actually, I already have GDEmu and just got Fenrir, and there's barely was anything to fill up two 128GB cards.
Of course, I can just get rid of duplicates of most fightans and shmups, but even then I don't think I'll get close to 128GB.

>>7441914
>all those retarded mental gymnastics just to tell a stranger you own PDS
wew lad. Funny thing is anon probably won't believe you. Funnier still is he's right to because of all the stupid you spewed. What kind of fucktard uses original discs to play PDS.

So? If you thought I was trying to brag you've missed the point. Replacing an optical drive with another optical drive would be for continuing to use your collection, and it's only going to fail again later on. Because it's not practical to play PDS on disk, that's why I'm going to use an ODE when my drive dies. Until then I'll just keep using the system as is

What a strange thing to get upset about.

>>7442881
I think he's just bored. PDS is a great game, have fun with it.

>>7441776
>implying those even work properly
t.

>by a friend
Why don't you do it yourself?

>>7441442
Just be honest with yourself and delete games you don't really think you'll play but still want to add because it's in someone's ebin list. Stayed under the 128GB limit that way after 2 passes on a fullset torrent.

>>7437859
Honestly I agree especially in the case of Sony consoles that while not perfect when the emulation does work it works better than the real thing giving you better graphics and even fixes to the hardware

>>7440153
>Don't know if I should bother with PS1Digital
I own a GBS-8200 with the gbs-control mod and I really see no advantages on this PS1Digital thing considering my device already works with the PS1 beautifully with a decent SCART cable. Even resolution switching seems still janky on it so what's the point?
I'd probably consider for a cheap price but I don't see the hype.

>>7443141
Ps1digital is integrating features like universal controller reset, xstation integration, dedither, etc. It's a nice piece of kit and absolutely a superior solution to a gbs control. As a crt user it even tackles the minor annoyance of centering ps1 games.

You're the one whining about imaginary self-righteous machinations ya delusional megalomaniac. Lrn2reading comprehension

>>7437859
Being able to use the original hardware and the ability to load it up with as much content as you want (for free) is the chad choice.
I come across constant issues with emulation that are never present on the real thing.

>>7437859
Because (usually) you don't need to worry about compatibility issues or emulation fuckery, plus in the case of PS1 there's a fuckload out there that are piss cheap. Friend of mine who owns a game store is pretty much giving me one for free so I can get my Xstation installed in it.

>>7438059

Only one "kicking up a stink" is you kiddo. You spent a whole day doing damage control for your tardpost and think taking a picture of daddy's games some how makes you not retarded.

You've been throwing a tantrum all day because I passively mentioned a game you personally thought I didn't own. Like a toddler.

>Destruction Derby RAW

Jesus fuck I thought I was the only one who knew that series existed.

As an aside, as someone who has a working 1001, this is the first I'm hearing about this. Is this easier than the PSIO? The smoke ones laser died and I'm sick of playing roulette with knockoffs.

>>7447140
Well, you're entitled to that stance. Enjoy your games anon.

>>7447290
Destruction Derby was a fairly popular series once upon a time. RAW flew under the radar for DD fans and in general, kinda like Road Rash Jailbreak.

That's nice

>>7439049
Are you under the age of 30? The first generation of PS1 (notably the 1x series) was so notorious for drive issues leading to skipping that flipping your console upside down became a meme.
See >>7438636

>>7443141
GBS Control or the new Retrotink (not yet officially announced) are great alternatives to PS1 Digital.

>>7437648
I've never pirated on a console other than burned discs on a modded console. Does the method OP uses have the hardware run the game authentically or just booting some sort of emulator in a playstation shaped casing?

>>7437648
How much would something like this run me? I've been thinking of getting into PS1 gaming. Do you have to use a certain kind of .iso to get it to work?

>>7449075
Maybe around $200 depending on who you can get to do the installation or if you can do it yourself. It's around $100 for the kit, you can probably get a PS1 easily for like $20, and then you just gonna find someone who's good with soldering to install it.

>>7447795
Everyone understands why you mentioned that your dad owns PDS. It was to lend credibility to your shitpost. It failed, you failed. That's why you're obsessing over it. Daddy is going to give you a hard spanking if he catches you using his original discs.

>>7448875
its ODE, optical disc emulator, only thing it does is to make the original hardware think the game is running off an disc, but is getting the data off an microsd card instead. It also bypasses the region lock too.

>>7449075
81€ for the xstation itself and 5-20€ for the console, if you are gonna buy an pre-installed one its gonna be a lot more expensive(200€ -ish). and no the redump set works no issues, as should any random .iso's assuming they are good quality ones.

Anyone else getting a MemCard Pro? The pricetag sucks but I'm not about to have 20+ ps1 memory cards laying around.

Anyone who says otherwise is either retarded, or a NIGGER.

Throw in the towel, the Coomlector Nation is no more!!!

>>7437648
I've thought of getting an XStation for mine but I have one concern...

Mine happens to have an old mod chip in it (I can tell it's an older one because it triggers Spyro 3's anti-piracy), would that interfere with the install at-all? Or would it in-theory just make it easier since I already have a modchip and I wouldn't need to solder anything else?

>>7437859
You're feeding the console the same digital data what's the difference

>>7450054
>>7450510
>I'm having a meltdown

>>7450768
no, the opposite, you need to unsolder the modchip as its redundant and probably gets in the way anyway. you still need to lift up the chips legs and solder in the QSB. the xstation wont work without the QSB as theres ribbon cable that connects both, there is no easy way out.

>>7450823

>>7450701
waste of money, you can get handful first party memory cards for price of that + an microsd card. or even better, with softmodded ps2 you can easily backup your memory cards to zip disquette or hdd or hell even ftp them directly to your pc.

if that ever supports ps2 too and price drops by half, or some cheaper model comes out then it might be worthwhile. Personally I just backup my old saves with ps2 and then remove old saves I dont need.

the MemCard Pro has wifi save transfer to packup on your PC and virtual memory cards which are automatically selected for ODE X-Station installs. If you have an X-Station you should get this.

>>7450867
