You're now aware that 95% of the anons here never used

I did to play burned games.

Though this was 2 years ago and every disc I tried many gmes had no music and the fmvs were stuttering yet my normal discs worked fine.

I just use a ps2 + pops loader now anyways.

>>378065249

I'm 33 and everyone here seems retarded and terrible. I rarely browse /v/ anymore so I guess I'm moving on.

>>378065249
I had two different ones. A gameshark and a pro action replay for my PS1. PAR came with a spring to help play import titles if you didn't have your PS1 chipped.

Gameshark gave me tons of replay value on my games. So much cool shit you could do, and mess with the game. Since it wasn't a cart, there wasn't really any fear of fucking anything up except a file save (easy to copy/replace)

Are games too complicated now for gamesharks, or is it mostly legal reasons they don't make new ones?

I have a hong kong knockoff that I use to play burned games.

>>378065249
I had one that let me play Japanese games on ps1. Yeah I'm old.

>>378065617
I had one as a kid

>>378065249
Mainly used it for infinite/max money in JRPG's. Sometimes for quick lvl up if the grinding was tedious.

You're right. I never owned a Playstation.

All the fucking mexicans in school would use these for multiplayer GBA games and it would really piss me the fuck off.

Especially when it came to MMBN

>>378065756
Consoles are too locked-down for anything like a Gameshark to exist nowadays. It would just be patched out right away.

I unlocked sephiroth in FF7.

He sucked though, was limited to auto-attacking like in Cloud's flashback and his stats were weak compared to endgame.

I can't remember clearly, but wasn't the PS1 gameshark really expensive compared to other cartridge-based ones?

Im a 90s kid so i had one for my PS1.
I LOVED IT.

>>378065934
I never figured out the trick to this. Wanted to play DBZ legends and tobal 2 so bad too...

>>378065249
My gameshark was the disk version that took an hour to get to work since it was such a piece of shit.

>>378065575
I fuck around with cheats after I 100% games.

>>378066363
Man, kids now will never know the feels.

>>378065249
I actually had this one except it was black only worked with earlier PS1 model they removed the port it used later. Gamesharks had shitty fucking build quality my N64 and PS1 gamesharks both stopped working within a year of me having them.

>>378065249

I have it on my shelf about 8 feet from me, most fun I ever had with it was hacking in all the monster rancher types and having a grand battle royale to find which one was the best.

I also had that special drive thing that you could plug memory cards into and download save files off the internet.

Finally, I can sit down and start a new career in Gran Turismo 2 without having to do all the damn license tests. Looking forward to seeing what sort of interesting ways games can be broken with it. I just wish they didn't change their code scheme, I constantly have to check to see if the codes I'm finding are the old version or the new version.

>>378066363

>>378068649

>>378068321
Did any companies ever tell you to remove codes for their games?

I never saw a gameshark, game genie, etc. where I lived, so the first time I found out about cheats like these was through emulation.
The "press L to levitate" on Ocarina of Time blew my mind.

>>378065249
My first console was a PS2, why would I?

>>378065627

I remember reading something way back about how much you could do with games, with these, beyond what the code books provided.

>>378068109
oh yeah, w..well you peed your pants in school that one time, how about THAT!

>>378068872
Never, I don't think we ever received a complaint or request to take anything down.

>>378065617

>>378066363
This was fun when I was a poor kid and was limited to reading them at the store and memorizing the codes for the few games I did own. Either that or I figured out something myself by accident by replaying the same 3-4 games so much. Then the internet came along and cheat codes were a click away, kind of kills the sense of discovery.

Even with a chipped PSX I still use one to skip the bios animations. Also does anybody know the name of the parallel port device for PSX that allows you to back up saves? I saw one on Ebay years ago and can't find any information on them.

>>378071194
>skipping the bios on a ps1
ishygddt
Also, I think there is way to backup ps1 saves with a ps3 and the adapter thingy.

https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-3-Memory-Card-Adaptor/dp/B000K1GZIU

Costs a fuckton but there is probably knockoffs that work the same.

>>378071174
This is why I hung on to my 1001 version psx

>>378071194
You mean back them up to a computer? You need something like an Xplorer with Xlink.

>>378071473
>>378071593
I should have been more specific, it was some weird looking box that plugged in the back and had (supposedly) 20 or so memory cards worth of storage you could write/read from a menu.

>>378071523
The only time I ever used it was to link systems with an old roommate and play Doom together.

>>378065249
I used that. I once used it on FF9 and ran into a creepy glitch where Zidane's battle stance was him climbing/humping a sword.

I also had a GameShark for my PS1, but it looked nothing like that. It was just a little dongle that went in the memory card slot, alongside the disc.

>>378065357

Not just burned games, but to actually plat NTSC games. My mom knew a guy that burned PS1 games, but our PS1 was naticely japanese. If I wanted to play a legit game, I needed one of these to bypass region locking.

Good times. It's how I discovered one of my favorite games, Silhouette Mirage. It was among the stack of burned games.

>>378075223
And then pay the price. A price that gets continuously paid until the resulting bastard reaches the age of majority. All because you were too stupid to use a damned condom.

It's for when things are running in turbo mode, you turn it on when you have a turbo problem.

How is that confusing? Why would you think it would make things run in turbo mode? that would be crazy!!!! you silly person!
