/vr/ - Retro Games

>>9255186
Best system ever made? Yeah I think so

Playing Soul Reaver for the first time, it's pretty good so far but man is this game dark. Doesn't help that you can only rotate the camera left and right. I had to google what to do several times already because I just couldn't see shit.
FPS is kinda shitty too.

>>9255194
Zoomer.

Please recommend games, I finished parasite eve 1, mgs1, silent hill 1 and driver 1

>>9255186
Anyone else likes picking up childhood saves and finishing games you never beat as a child?

>>9255263
Future Cop L.A.P.D

If you have a buddy, you'll experience one of the best co-op games ever made.

>>9255283
Thanks gonna try that sometime with a friend

Just a quick post to say thanks to the anon who mentioned TonyHax and FreePSXBoot a few weeks ago.

>>9255194
Fucking faggot.

>>9255263
The popular choices are popular for a reason.

Final fantasy VII, Resident Evil directors cut, 2 and 3, Tekken 3, Tony hawks pro skater 1 and 2, need for speed 3, ridge racer type 4. Twisted metal 2, tenchu stealth assassins.

honestly just Google "best PS1 games" play everything you find there and then worry about lesser known games after you're done.

>>9255263

Brave Fencer Musashi

>>9255186
That's a PSX, not a PS1 but go on.

>>9255263
Syphon Filter 1, 2 and 3

>>9255202
>>9255329
What exactly did I say to make you lash out like that?

>>9255283
Seconding Future Cop, great game.

>>9255283
is the single player good too?

>>9255358
Yes single player is very good although I personally found it a tad difficult near the end of the game but it's nothing you can't handle. I will add that the controls haven't aged the best either but with some practice you'll get the hang of it eventually. It has stuff to help you out in that regard like auto-targeting for weapons.

>>9255313
It may not have been me this time, but hell yeah. It’s the shit.

>>9255263
Mega Man Legends is basically Soul: The Videogame. Just played Wipeout 3 and loved that too. There are tons.

>>9255369
Wipeout 3 is pure sex

Dino Crisis 2

the ps1 felt like the true successor to the snes

I love 2D PS1 games

>>9255636
i just finished this 2 weeks ago.

>>9255720
How did you like it? The more I play the more I learn how each boss functions in tandem with the mechanics. Bosses that seem very tough are actually quite fun to clear once you understand their patterns and what you can do to evade their attacks.

>>9255186
How is the xstation? Is anyone here using or used it?

>>9255519
my balls

This console oozes nostalgia for me. Over the years I’ve managed to get a few games that I liked growing up or thought they were interesting after seeing their ads on magazines:
>Metal Gear Solid
>Gungage
>Digimon World 1&3
>Dino Crisis 1&2
>Resident Evil 1-3
>Parasite Eve 1&2
>Deception 1&2
>Silent Hill
>Hellnight
>Ghost in the Shell
>Chaos Break
>Jojo
>Gunners Heaven
>Alundra
>Tomba 1&2
>Legacy of Kain
>Koudelka
>Galerians
>Ape Escape
>X files
>Hard Edge
>Alien Trilogy
>Power Shovel
One day I’ll get Crash 2&3 too. Any recommendations that I might enjoy?

Good lord does the negcon take some getting used to.

>>9255752
yeah I use it, what do you want to know? I like it and the memcardpro integration is excellent

>>9255278
Anyone else likes buying cheap memory cards to look at what the previous owner last played before saying goodbye to it?
Based japanese memory cards always seem to have a Dragon Quest save on it no matter the tastes of the owner.

>>9255636
What game? Is there a non-chinese version?

>>9256561
PAL version if you want 50hz. It's just a run & gun shooter, story doesn't matter

Just beat Crash 2. Not sure if I'm going to bother getting all the gems or moving on to something else, the last world was kind of a letdown.

A friend of mine says that the PS1 start-up sound is supposed to sound like a unicorn yawning in a crystal cave.

What kind of controller is best for emulation? I bought a cheap adapter on ebay and surprise it doesnt work. Thinking about getting a dualshock 4 or maybe a 3

>>9257667
I use a DualShock 3. I used some program I dug up from old emulation forum posts to hack a bluetooth dongle I bought, so I can connect the controller via bluetooth.

Replaying Ape Escape again. Such a fantastic game and it sucks that Sony killed the franchise.

>>9256571
I can't replay any of the Crash games without 100% them. Same with the Spyro games.

>>9255263
Armored Core

>>9257697
how the fuck do we live in a realty with no PS3 Ape Escape

>>9257709
They killed Japan Studio who were responsible for the series. Plus the best you got for a PS3 AE is the fucking Move game which was a glorified shooting gallery that sucked ass.

>>9257717
I guess should have said "proper" Ape Escape than i always forget about that move bullshit

>>9255263
Racing Lagoon if you enjoy autistic racing games.
Front Mission 2 and 3 are great (but you should play 1 first)

One day the PSIO will update and let me use my MemcardPro. Maybe someday…
I’m thinking of getting a PU-18 and XStation. PU-22 locked me into PSIO and that thing was a mistake.

>>9255341
Oh, awesomes games

>>9255263
Ace Combat 1-3 and Vagrant Story. Play the JP version of Ace Combat 3, there is a fan translation.

>>9255341
Awful games, don't listen to this guy. They have so many annoying instakill enemies that they pepper around most levels as gotchas.
Oh sure, you could dodge roll 3 times and get to cover, but if you're unlucky you can get unavoidable deaths if they run right at you and have a flak jacket, and in that situation you physically cannot manually aim at their head fast enough to kill them before they kill you. Or if they have a grenade launcher and you don't know there's a map trigger to spawn a grenade launcher guy right around some corner. This makes the games into tiresome trial and error.

>>9257667
Unless you feel like jumping through hoops to get a DS3 working i'm a fan of the DS4. Though that retro Fighters defender controller looks to be a solid choice but i've not used it personally.

Aahh PS1 peak gaming

>>9255338
This

Also search for network playable ps1 games

can't believe I didn't know about this back in the day

This game is hard. I slapped myself e few times because of this.

Almost bashed my head against the wall too.

Anyone know any good extension cords for controllers? I keep finding some online but I'm not sure if they'll work great or damage my controller.

Reminder to get into japanese PS1 collecting off of Yahoo Auctions/Buyee while its still cheap. Japanese PS1 cover art is superior 9 out of 10 times btw

>>9259982
100%-ing the first Crash game is an no doubt challange for sure. They really softened the difficulty with 2 and 3.

Did the PS1/N64/Saturn era graphics immediately become outdated in 98-99 with the Dreamcast and PC games like Systemshock 2 or Deus Ex, or did the graphics continue to be relevant?

>>9255190
Close, i think its technically ps2 or maybe xbox1

>>9257629
Nice list here

You can add all twisted metals though

>>9260921
Sony sold fuckton of PSone consoles so go figure

>>9255283
I didn't really care for this game, as a huge mech fanatic. I tried so hard to like it, too.

>>9261038
Xbox1...

Ok Tyrone show hands

>>9259982
>>9260075
Just out of curiosity. Did the remake of this game maintain the heart and soul of the original or they fucked it up?

>>9261829
They butchered the art. The skybox to sunset vista and the backgrounds to jaws of darkness really highlight that toys for bob have no idea what they are doing.

>>9261837
It is impressive how they never get the details right doing remakes. They must think "no one is going to miss this"

>>9260921
No, Dreamcast didn't make a huge impact and PC was still a slightly different niche from console (especially N64 owners who were all still too young to have their own PC or buy their own games in 1999)

>>9261829
No it's much more softened out. The difficulty was tuned way down (to 2/3 levels) and a bunch of the more atmospheric levels like Generator Room had all the gloom sucked right out of it. It's just too "clean."

>>9261829
It looks like every other unreal engine 4 game that tries to be cartoony.

>>9257865
I literally got a PU-22 PS1 yesterday and discovered I can only use PSIO. What are the downsides?

>>9255186
https://archive.org/download/Sony-Playstation-USA-Redump.org-2019-05-27

Where can I find roms like this?

>>9261974
The fact that you have to use PSIO.

>>9262392
Elaborate

>get drunk because lmao useless adult
>replay my PSX collection
< beat them like a drum
I don't know if I should feel bad that drunk adult me who cannot see straight is better at vidya than 10 year old me who put hours upon hours into these games and struggled to beat them. On one hand it is is "great i've got mad vidya skills LMAO CHILD ME" on the other it is "fffffffffffffuck this isn't how I remember it. I wish I was 10 again like /vr/ thinks it is cool to be".

Pic semi-related.

>>9255339
This

>>9261829
It looks great, these people are super autistic and bitch about tiny details in specific levels. The fact that they even know the names of the levels shows the degree of autismo you're talking to.

The developer has been withholding an update for about two years now in attempt to strengthen DRM to fight Chinese clones. The update supposedly has Memcard Pro support and a bunch of other highly requested features and fixes.
In general it works pretty fine.

>>9255340
are you european?

>>9263664
everybody's super sonic racing i guess

>>9264410
The Chinese clones are the only viable option for me. It’s incredibly hard to find the original ones.

>>9255186
it's really hard to talk about it without fanboying over it desu.
but yes, it even made a whole genre or "style" of art in pixels, really goode gamus...

>>9261829
my only "but" is the music, bro :]

I had an N64 as a kid instead of a PS1 so a lot of stuff on the PS1 is pretty new to me outside of stuff like MGS. Just today I started playing this version of Wizardry which is pretty cool. I should probably check out some of the 2D games on the system as well.

>>9255186
I miss the PS1 days so much. Just compare FF7 and RE2 from their PS1 to their PS4 reiterations.

>>9256571
Wow, so this is the power of 3D platforming!

>>9266786
You are doing a good job with these webms

I suppose it's hit or miss. The skirmish / precinct assault mode is where it truly shines though.

Nobody gives a fuck.

Which PS1 game has the best gameplay?

>>9268560
THPS, or THPS2 if you wanna be that guy. I don't wanna be that guy.

I want to learn programming, I have a goal of getting a basic pong type game to run off a ps1 via burned disc, how would I go about learning to do that?

You need to base yourself on counter attacks. You shouldn't go in all guns blazing like it's DMC or a generic slasher, enemies are invicible while they attack; you need to let them attack, dodge, then attack once you have an opening, see the video.

Then it's all about ressource management between HP, VP and MP

these are the last six psx games released in PAL territories, say something about them

Decent game with absolutely shit controls. Those who think there's nothing wrong with the camera and turret controls should stop playing games.

>>9270419
PLAY HER GAME

Currently playing the first Tomb Raider game for the first time, really enjoying it. Just wish I had a comfortable controller with a nice d-pad, having to use my keyboard

>>9270935
shame in europe didn't get armored core games besides the first one

Anyone played Nightmare Creatures???

I play all my PS1 games on a MechaPwn'd PS2.

>>9272346
I hope you play a lot of them

>>9272316
I played the demo and it scared the shit out of 10 year old me, even if kicking zombies in half was fun.

>>9272316
same I just played the demo in demo one in my friend's house he later moved to Arizona.

I liked it felt like a oriented action tomb raider

>>9272361
Hey I have this game, I bought it for like $4 from the mall cause it was like the only arcadey looking game they had. I think thought it sucked though cause I never touched it after I bought it. What do you think of it? Does it control well? I’ve been playing lots of robotron recently so if it’s got twin stick controls I’ll definitely give it another go

>>9273591
It's a fun pick up and play arcade style game. It's by the cotton devs and the game has this great presentation which reminds me of the computers in evangelion. As far as twinstick games go the way the different shot types kick you back makes fights feel extra chaotic and racing against the ticking clock is a ton of fun. I think it controls great and is a solid but simple game.

>>9263845
t. no taste, relying on ad homs as a crutch

>>9272316
the sequel wasn't as good as the first due to setting.

Huh I was rummaging through my collection of msic cd's and i've come across a copy of Rosco McQueen I got from a friend (one who sadly did not look after their games). Luckily the disc works and I might actually try and beat the game. Last time I played this I rented it over a weekend about 20 years ago. Shame there is no manual but oh well.

>>9266730
best resident evil

>>9255186
I really like Chocobo Racing. Never got into Final Fantasy but man is it fun. Square's other action game Einhander is also pretty fun from what I've played, and Omega Boost which I learned about here on /vr/. There's still tons I need to play on it, from Silent Bomber to basic stuff like Spyro and Tomb Raider. As a kid I mostly just played stuff like Crash, Tony Hawk, and Mega Man. My cousins had a lot of other games like Rayman and MGS

>>9272316
yea its an early 3d action game with tank controls and attack combos. however you get through most of the game using the basic 3 hit combos. the best way to kill most enemies is to lock them in a corner or wall and mash at them while blocking occasionally because some of them can break through your stun lock sometimes.

there's also the adrenaline system to keep in mind. there is this blue bar on the side of the screen that starts to deplete if you don't fight any monsters for a awhile. the speed it decreases at grows faster each level. if it depletes completely your health will start to drain until you fight another monster or die.

>>9255190
My nostalgia for the PS1 says it is, but objectively, the PS2 might be even better.

Either way, the PS1's library is insane in its scale and variety. The N64 and Saturn don't even come close.

>>9275281
and the retarded rock music. It tcompletely ruined the dark vibe the game was based around.

>>9267110
I will never understand why basement dwellers seethed over this game so much. I played it as a kid with my family and we had a lot of fun with it.

>>9266786
What game is this?

I'm going to emulate a bunch of the games I didn't play. Koudelka, Parasite Eve, Xenogears - for starters. Excited about it.

the original ps1 controller is pretty terrible ergonomically, I have small east asian esque hands and I still get cramps trying to grip the little thing.

>>9255186
I got it for Christmas 1997. I thought the demo disc (pic related) had the full games on each. What a dumbass I was.

>>9255186
I been semi-recently playing the og Persona Revelations but the localization is really bad but it's giving me cozy vibes.

>>9279039
>I thought the demo disc (pic related) had the full games on each. What a dumbass I was.
Don't worry you were young, I bet you weren't the only one who thught that.

>>9279602
yes I was 9 years old.

In march for my birthday my parents got me N64 too.

>>9279307
call me crazy but the localization change for the protag honestly feels convincing. he actually passes off for a late 90s white teen there

is here a list somewhere of games that ware released both for psx and dos?

More racers since this was a turning point for the genre and kind of peaked during ps2 in a way

A lot of people think that genre is probably played out though

In that case, Apocalypse, Die Hard, Future Cop, TM 1 - 4, and all of the link games

>>9280314
Thos NBA games never emulate well plus they're extremely high priced

Those are great too I've heard and they look good on YouTube too

>>9282148
I do need to make more.

>>9280526
thats not an action replay gameshark, its just for playing video cds only, ive got one but no video cd's to try it, been asking on here if anyone knows where to find some iso's of genuine discs, i could convert some films and make some my self but its not the same.

this one back in the day was refered to as "the tall one", there was also another model refered to as "the long one"

What the fuck WAS Powerline?

>>9283125
I'm pretty sure it was a number you could call to recieve cheats and tips for PS1 games

Currently playing Spyro 3 and HOLY SHIT it is way worse than I remember (which was to say, not much). What the fuck were they thinking?
And I'm not even talking about the minigames, I'm talking about level design, sound and music design, and general gameplay downgrades
>drops map and spark pointing to missing gems, which would be fine if the level design was more akin to spyro 1 where the gems were mostly next to each other in a super linear manner, instead it's like spyro 2 where the gems are distributed all over each stage.
>drops power ups per level in favor of using them occasionally
>most levels feel generic as fuck, most enemies feel out place, too many levels with generic sheep instead of unique fauna for spark, they really dropped the ball making rhinos the enemies everywhere.
>side characters have use the same music every time you get to use them.
>lots of missing sound effects (James Byrd landing, hitting certain enemies like the first boss)
>a lot of music doesn't loop properly (James Byrd's music)
>skill points are sometimes obtuse as fuck.
Like seriously it feels it is made up with scratched spyro 2 levels (there's even the lizards from spyro 2 and the Dinosaur with golden bones despite not even fitting in with the rest of the level). How the fuck did they drop the ball so hard?

The spindle on my original Playstation had a part snap off it many years ago and it's never read discs properly since. Don't know if the laser was fucked by it or what, but it's annoying.

>>9283680
don't be so negative anon spyro 3 is cool

I bet whoever owned these back then was in hog heaven. Pretty cool.
Video CDs were before my time and I was surprised to hear that they were more popular than VHS in some parts of the world at one point.

Living in a third world country where everyone had a different region psx and games for some reason was a nightmare in the early 2000s.

I'm trying to move my PSX saves to my MiSTer, does anyone know how I'd do that?

I have a modded PS2 as well so theyre easy to get onto a USB drive

vagrant story

>>9280394
Was always really excited when I snagged one of those discs. Anyway, I'm trying to decide if I should fuck with digging out my Vita or just playing shit emulated for PSX. Have there been any decent translation patches released in recent memory?

So Ds4windows just keeps reconnecting and disconnecting my DS4 Bluetooth connection over and over and I can't figure out why.
Its works wired and its not my dongle since it works fine wireless on steam
any suggestions?

>>9278762
bait or not, you're a literal retard

My first time playing playstation in 20 years. (duckstation) Amazing how many great games I played on this system and there's almost an equal amount I didn't play.

>>9255186
It is my 7th most favorite video game console. The Sony consoles only go downhill from there.

>>9289120
Jealous of this collection bro. Been trying to score a good price on Gradius Gaiden and Gunner's Heaven for some time now.

>>9288285
>Bluetooth
That's why. Bluetooth is a fucking garbage technology that should have never been used, ever. It's so incredibly inconsistent, buggy, and problematic that any one tiny issue means you have shitty problems like yours sometimes in very specific situations that make no sense. Just use it wired.

For anyone emulating, what's the best shader generally used for ps1 games?

Can’t buy a terraonion mode so I crudely grafted a mayumi region bypass mod chip to the board and somehow didn’t break it. I have the PAL version of tekken 3 and that’s it. Bought NTSC-J version of Ghost in the Shell and waiting for it to get delivered. The price differential between Jap and European games is huge. RPGs aren’t an option as I can’t read Japanese. Going to get castlevania next, then Einhander. Any other suggestions?

>>9289142
but anon think about the input lag

demos were nice stuff

somewhat on topic i guess but what's a good /wired/ controller for ps1 emulation on pc? dont give a fuck about analog sticks or gyro or w/e the fuck, just want a nice dpad. apparently the 8bitdo pro 2 is decent but idk

>>9255194
I tried it for about 40 minutes yesterday, interesting game. I was expecting it to be more straightforward action-adventure, where you explore, collect items, kill enemies. Instead, enemies (in the material world) are effectively invincible and you need to use the environment to kill them, so combat is more like a puzzle. And the levels are very linear. But I'm still in the intro phases of the game, it might change.
I have to say, this game has the coolest fucking intro cinematic I've ever seen. That and the general introduction to the world are just sick. They've also got a voice actor for the guy who talks to you right at the beginning that played a villain in a cartoon from my childhood. I'm going to figure out who that is right now. Tony Jay, he voiced Megabyte in Reboot.

>>9289991
>8bitdo pro 2
I wish I could speak to its quality, but it does seem like the best option. That's what I would buy if I hadn't already bought the Hori "Horipad Pro designed for Xbox" first. I don't like the layout of the Horipad because the top of the controller is narrower and my index fingers aren't in the right place on the shoulder buttons. But I've been using it and my hands aren't fucked up.

>>9290038
I think I'm going to go with the Pro 2 or maybe the old Logitech F310; apparently its dpad is excellent, but it's an exceptionally ugly controller lol.

>>9290083
Honestly I'm going to buy the Pro 2 anyways next time I do an Amazon order. I haven't seen a better wired controller for PC, on paper. The only other one I'd even consider buying is an Xbox styled one from Power-A.
Wired controllers are not very popular it seems. I don't know why, wireless ones seem like a hassle. I used a DS4 for years until the shitty little wire port wore out, because the Bluetooth is finicky.

>>9290243
yeah, the only issue I've seen regarding the Pro 2 is that the bumper buttons can be a bit finicky if you don't press them directly in the center, but I'm not too worried about it as I always thought the bumpers on even the official Xbox controllers sucked as well. PowerA was my first thought but basically every review ends up mentioning stick drift after a few months at best.
my current 360 controller has a fucked wire from being bent so the only way it works is by wrapping it under the controller and back over the top into its original diection lmao. I've had it taped that way for a few years now. if I'm playing vidya I'm not going to be moving around, so a wire is no issue, and there's likely less latency in most cases anyway

>>9285557
I still can't believe that I ended up finding scans of the Official UK Playstation Magazine which I thought were lost on fucking Facebook of all places.

>>9290742

Pretty sure I still have a shit ton of those in my mum and dad's loft. I still remember what scores they gave to games even now, and some of the time it's pretty funny in retrospect.

7/10 for Symphony of the Night, wew lads. That aged well dinnit.
