I heard that some people consider the original PlayStation as the last of the classic retro consoles, but is it really?

I always thought it was the first of the modern consoles.

What do you think, /vr/?

it has this 2D 1/2 thing going on in a lot of cases so yeah, together with the N64 it is.

I don't know if this is a stupid remark but I think everything not resorting to sprites anymore can't be considered retro. (modern indie games like shovel knight not included because those cash in on the retro fad specifically.)

So true. N64, Dreamcast, GameCube, and Xbox. Even the Atari Jaguar had a 4 player tap that came with a free game.

It's like Sony was saying that PS owners had no friends. Their decision held back multiplayer gaming for over a decade. What a terrible company.

DC, GC, and Halobox came out well after the PS1

The Jag had 2 ports? I don't think more than 2 people bought it so it doesn't matter.

You're no better than the N64 troll idiot.

As for OP, the PS came out before Saturn or N64, so it can't be the last of the retro consoles.
However, I still think of 5th gen as somewhat recent so I have a hard time considering the PS "classic", but that's just me being old.

One of the first games I had for that system was the Fantastic four Arcade port. and it was not a very good game compared to the other ones we got that christmas, but it would have been a hell of a lot better with 4 ports.

The other games were Oddworld, Intelligent Qube, Resident Evil Directors cut, Parappa, and a demo disc with armored core.

Nah, the Dreamcast was the last of the classic retro consoles.

> Mix of 2D and 3D
> Tons of fighting games
> Tons of shmups
> Lots of titles with arcade style gameplay
> Focus on fun

I feel like the PS2 is the first of the modern console era,

> It was the first to make a huge deal about movie capability

Saturn's VCD doesn't really count because hardly anyone used it, and as a bonus the PS2 even had Netflix Streaming in Brazil.

> Toward the end of it's life it started to usher in the era of multiplayer being online only instead of splitscreen

Significantly fewer 2-4 player splitscreen games to play when you are your bros were having a sleepover or a videogame party.

> Significantly fewer arcade style games

Arcades were dead or dying by the time the PS2 was running at full steam

> No shit flinging from Sony/Nintendo/Microsoft at each other, no memorable ad campaigns

Nothing is more retro than magazine ads from one hardware company being complete assholes to another. You didn't have any naked women or awesome catchphrases or live action propaganda videos shipped to your house on VHS tapes

The PS1 was definitely at the point where gaming was transitioning, but I still think the PS2 was the first console to really kickstart the "modern" console blueprint.

First of all, many manufacturers do put USBs on the back of laptops, secondly, what fucking difference would it even make? Are you really that lazy that you can't reach behind your laptop or, god forbid, rotate it 90o?

You never would have survived the 90's, bro. We didn't even have USB until later on, and at first we only had 2 USB ports on the back of the TOWER, so you basically got to choose two things and that was it.
Not that two USB devices was a realistic thingto ever happen.

It's the first of the modern consoles.

It's when gaming turned from a pure hobbyist pursuit enjoyed by people who knew games weren't about graphics and story and other bullshit to modern "games". FF7 (which went way more mainstream and story-based than its already story-heavy predecessors), fucking Metal Gear Solid (barely a game), and many more solidified the PS1 as a "new generation" game machine targeted not to established gamers but "new gamers" that didn't care anything for tried and true gaming.

>tfw SCPH-1000

There are two revisions of the SCPH-1000. The second prevents the exploit which allows the booting of backups. Because of this, all NTSC-J PlayStation since the first revision are region locked, even with a modchip.

So I got a decent condition one cheap, and it ended up having the locked BIOS. I later won another one that had the original BIOS and swapped the boards over. I also had the swap the I/O which involved a bunch of soldering as the better board I/O was rusted. I stole shielding from a SCPH-1002 I had, replaced the main capacitor on the power supply to reduce heat output and installed a Mayumi V2.1 modchip. I also swapped the AAM laser for an ACM laser that was in the 1002. And that is the end of that.

Also have a SCPH-5500. It has a 5501 motherboard and a Mayumi V4 installed. Kinda want to pick up a 5502 and steal the PSU for it so I don't have to use my step down converter like I do with the SCPH-1000.

Also, a console is defined by the era of which it was released and the age of it. I personally think that /vr/ should embrace the 6th generation as being "retro" now too given that the 8th generation of hardware is in full swing. Especially when you consider the SD nature of the console which cements them in the past.

It was banned because the dev was bought by EA and it was too much for EA's "family friendly" image.

>>2421763
I also consider the DC to be the last one. It is actually a modern one, but given what it lasted and what it did during that time (and the games it got) it feels like the star that's about to die and shines as strong as ever.
It was pure arcade heaven embracing stuff PC gaming had at the time, in a little compact (and cheap) console.
The PS2 promised to be almost a computer at the beginning, but it ended up making videogames more like movies, in the way they're presented and percieved by consumers. Also, the same, regarding how long it lived and what it did in that time (and the games it got) I see it as the first "modern" console as well.
but I think arguments like this could be made between the 4th and 5th generation so it doesn't really matter.

Well, there are many ways to get PS1 games. They're not as expensive as rare N64 games, and emulation and modchips are a plenty.

Seriously it takes a 50p PIC chip and minor soldering skills to mod a PSX or PSOne. If you're after playing rather than collecting this is your best bet.

Really? as a kid I never had a N64 and only knew about games like Super Mario 64 and Smash Bros from magazines. When I actually got to play a Nintendo 64 for the first time a few years ago I was impressed with the graphics. I think they are on another league than the PS1, closer to what the PCs could do back then, better 3D and all.

Changing the rules to "golden age only" is stupid because then it just gets into an argument about when the golden age actually was. Still, this has nothing to do with the PS1 so I suggest you stop shitting up this board and actually post something relevant to the thread.

This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games. Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier. With the release of the 8th generation of consoles, the Sega Dreamcast will now be considered "retro", though the remainder of the sixth generation (Xbox, PS2, GameCube) will not.

This is an urban legend with no proof. And the only good thing about the PSX CD Player was the visulation effect.

The Saturn had a way better cd player, you could even operate it blindly since the controller buttons were marked up for each control function (stop, play, pause, seeking, repeating).

My only experience with anything like this was the my little brother used to watch movies on our PS2 and I remember not being able to finish Kingdom Hearts 2 because the PS2 finally crapped out on it. Looked around, and it's apparently bad to watch movies on game systems due to laser mechanism over-work

Our Xbox 360 had the same problem, again because my bro and sis watched movies on it. Any console I've owned personally has never played a movie, and all of them are still fine

Nah. The laser reads to a certain point then stops. The only time a disc is 100% continually read (like a movie would be) is during FMVs. The rest of the time it reads some, stores it, then chills out until it needs to read again

Anyway, I think it was only really a problem for the Phat PS2. I think the Slim PS2 had a better lens or something

>Is the PS1 version of Chrono Trigger worth it?
AVOID AT ALL COSTS

It has ridiculous lag. As a kid, I had just bought USFF2 from eBay, and I sold it because Final Fantasy Chronicles just came out, and it had the FF I just bought *and* it had Chrono Trigger

The FF4 part of Chronicles is alright, but the Chrono Trigger part is horrendous; I feel bad for anyone who played the PS1 CT before they played other versions. Anytime you want to go to a menu, there is 10 seconds of loading lag. Encounters are another 5 or so seconds of load time, before *and* after. It's asinine.

Furthermore, stay away from the PSN versoni of Chrono Trigger as well. It's like a 250mb download, it's stored on your system, and there are no moving parts for it to load, right?

FUCKING WRONG

The PSN version of Chrono Trigger even emulates the lag that the PS1 version had. I have no idea how since it's just a solid rom file or whatever, but they did it. The stupid long loading times before menus, battles, screen transitions, and everything really was somehow carried over in the emulation. I'm still baffled.

So before you waste your money, please read this and dont bother with PS1 or PSN Chrono Trigger. It's on of my top 5, but it absolutely isn't worth it. I would rather people never play it than to play it with such terrible load times.

If you're emulating, just emulate the SNES or DS versions. DS is actually superior, but I prefer some of the SNES translations (Frog Englishe speaking, "Spincut") and SNES is actually /vr/ while DS is not.

But really anon, fuck everything about Chrono Trigger on any iteration of the PlayStation. They stole my money twice, once for the PS1 version, and once again with the PSN version because I naively thought that a solid file with no moving parts would have almost no lag, but they decided to make it 100% true to their PS1 port somehow

The PS1 emulator emulates the PS1 as accuractely as possible because there are certain games that shit the bed when load times are reduced (the biggest examples are Silent Hill and Dino Crisis).

You can still turn on fast loading for PS1 games downloaded from the PSN.

You'd know this if you paid attention or maybe even explored the menus instead of raging in impotent frustration in front of your TV.

That said, SNES version is the number one recommendation from most people.

I kek'd reading your interpretations of "lag" and "solid files" though.

I know the original myth was to burn with Taiyo Yuden only at 1x speed or some shit, but I was told that CDR medium has changed over the years and that for some disks/burners, it's better to do faster speeds overall?

Grabbed my Dad's PS1 last time I went around there but have been having trouble trying to burn games that will play on it.
It can play play all our old copied games (it is chipped) but I burnt a number of different games onto some cheap discs I bought and most of them wouldn't load, only Bushido Blade managed to get into the game after a while, and it was in black and white and the cut-scenes and audio would lag.
I tried burning the discs with Alcohol 120% and ImgBurn, the slowest I could do was 8x which I saw some people say was fine but not ideal. The copy of Alcohol I had even had a setting for PS1 games but that didn't help.
Does anyone have a fool proof method? Do I just need to buy a certain brand of discs? Do I really need a better CD burner?

That's probably your problem. Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden is what you want. Also, given the way modern disk drives work, slower speeds aren't always better. On top of that, some PS1s and 2s are finicky with different disk types. Try again with a different brand, different speeds (I usually just use AWS in ImgBurn), and give them another shot.

For some systems, it might take a few coasters before you get something that actually works nicely.

I'm playing some PS1 games on my PS2 with PSXLauncher.elf, and what I'm wondering is how multi-disc games work. I've been googling around, but google seems to confuse "multi-disc" with the disc swap method.

I know a lot of games let you save before switching discs, but I know there's a few that don't. I was wondering if there's anyway around that with PSXLauncher. I know there use to be big topics on this several years ago due to PSX eboots on the PSP only working with one disc at a time (before there were mutli-disc eboots in POPS 3.70), but I can't seem to find any of those anymore.

The only alternative I could find for games that don't let you save before switching discs (Koudelka, for example), was to get the save from your PS1 memory card on a USB stick, convert the save into emulator playable formats, go to the next disc, and then reconvert the save back to PS1 format.

There's a simple guide here with the tools in case anyone else needs it: http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?50796-PSX-Raw-Converter-PSX-Game-Edit

Just don't want to be that guy who goes "nvm fixed it :)" when other people search the archives for the same problem.

I'm not quite sure.

I know a lot of the games in this post here don't have save points: http://ngemu.com/threads/disc-combining-kits.118402/

Note: I wouldn't use these kits on an actual system or emulator.

Obviously, the Final Fantasies don't have that problem, but off the top of my head, MGS, Chrono Cross, the Parasite Eves, Thousand Arms all lack saving before disc switching.

I feel like a lot of PS1 games have aged really badly graphically. The ones which try to overdetail with detailed textures fall prey to affine texture deformations and overpixilization. I feel the best looking 3D games on the system emphasise clarity, high resolution and flat shading. Crash Bandicoot is a good example. Megaman Legends also looks great.
That, or they're 2D games. But then again, the Saturn outdoes the PS1 when it comes to 2D most times.

I just feel like the PS1's graphics have really faltered over the years in general.
