My PSX model is SCPH-5552, if that's important.

I figure there is nothing I can do about it, are there any good PAL TVs that can play NTSC PS1 games flawlessly?

IIRC PlayStations aren't locked for video format, so once the region locking is bypassed it will always output a true PAL or NTSC signal depending on the game. The fact that you get B&W through non-scart suggests the TV doesn't support the NTSC carrier properly. RGB via scart is different again, but it's still causing problems. Even if it's not completely obvious at first, I'd bet that it's decimating that RGB input and dropping frames like mad.

Some TVs are just fucking terrible. They decide for some reason that since it's being sold in a primarily PAL country the firmware needs to be locked to support nothing else. In my experience Samsung is one of the worst brands for shit like this. Whenever someone has an issue like this it's usually fucking them.

I'd maybe try an upscaler or something before a new TV, but I wouldn't be too hopeful. I've had good luck with Hitachi, but honestly it's just luck. The wizards of this board would suggest a CRT.

I was on free and reduced lunch in middle school and I had to get a job and work to pay for my own lunch in high school. Fuck you.

Eh, I had an allowance - admittedly not that much, but after a few 2 or 3 months of saving up that could usually net me a new game.

Good its payback in advance. Your parents knew you were going to be a huge faggot.

Also known in Japen as Seiken Densetsu, the first game was on the Game Boy and released in the states as Final Fantasy Adventure. Secret of Mana is SD2, and SD3 was not officially released, but there's plenty of fan translated ROMs out there.

Secret of Evermore, while is uses much of the same engine as SoM, is in fact it's own separate entity and has the prestige of being the first and last game developed by Square of America.

Legend of Mana for PS1 I don't believe is technically not a main, enumerated sequel of the Mana series, but rather a sort of side-project that has a different combat system and a generally non-linear story, but it's also a damn fine game in its own right.

After LoM, the thunder never struck again, and all Mana games after that are best avoided.

Only played Secret of Mana and Seiken Densetsu 3 and to be blunt, they're mediocre at best. Though if you liked Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3 is much better so there's that. There's also a PSX game, a GBA remake of the first game in the series (FF Adventure), and I think some phone games or some such.

Legend of Mana is pretty gud, and Sword of Mana is average, but yeah I feel the rest of the series got lost in whatever they wanted to do.

*ever

A long time ago but I'm willing to bet it's still good based on all the other adventure games I've replayed from that period. Late '90s adventures like Discworld Noir, The Longest Journey, The Last Express and Tex Murphy Overseer. Good stuff.

It's great. Play it immediately.

>Forza 7 is on a crap console
It's on PC as well, lad. Same as Forza Horizon 3, which is an arcade racer.

>>4167697
People have invested more and more in making things look as realistic as possible. Which is good.
That leaves little room to stylize things. Which is bad.

>>4167697

Are these PS1/Saturn racing games any good and still worth playing?

>>4167652
You can simply use a gamepad as a joystick.
Dedicated joysticks are a 90's thing that died.

>>4167656
I actually have a joystick (for Flight sims/Descent)
I just got it setup but the torso aiming doesn't feel right and I can't seem to find a way to change this.

>>4167668
whats the exact problem you're having?
i didn't have any issues using my joystick with the game.

Been playing PSX Doom. It's interesting. The 'music' is a little too ambient for my tastes but it still fits Doom pretty well. It's not as different as I thought it would be, though some of the changes are bizarre. It's still Doom, feels good man.

Looks like Term has been working more on that experimental quick draw feature for High Noon Drifter

No mouse no Mario I used to say

>4 face buttons

no thanks.

Isn't this that rerez controller? What's the deal with it, when is it coming out?

>>4167548
Just fight the battles as they come. CT is insanely well paced

>>4167548
Multiple endings don't matter in the slightest until new game+, just play the game

>>4167557
>>4167558
This really is all there is to it. The only game that has better pacing is Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, and that's because everything that happens drives the story along in some way, shape, or form.

That, and the sound track, are MQ's only real upsides, though.

But really, just play the game straight, and don't worry about the extra endings until you've gotten New Game+ going.

>>4167453
TRANSLATION WHEN?

>>4167453
It was a "normal" absurdist Japanese game that took so long to make that the publishers got impatient and released a prototype.
>>4167546
Somebody tried to a few years ago but the game is such an insane buggy clusterfuck (the credits don't even display properly I'm serious) that it's actually really hard to mod or hack.

>>4169237
Knowingly releasing an unfinished, buggy game as a finished product with obviously no potential for a patch is the height of absurdism, honestly.

>>4167213
Because the controls are beyond ass.

>>4167202
Never played this shit man


did I dun fucked up?

>>4167213
Capcom should update it with 3D and flashy effects everywhere, add Akuma somewhere, and call it LeBron Fu

>>4166956

I'm addicted to game-ahol!

>>4166857
I don't know man, it pissed me off when new Saturn games stopped being produced. It forced me to buy a Playstation, just so I can play Resident Evil 2.

Because people didn't like the Saturn (or at least I'm presuming, I was a young Nintendo fantard at the time so I wasn't aware of what people actually thought about it other than my "lol sega sux" attitude), and it looked "outdated" compared to the other consoles. So like with the Wii U the sharks were hungry for blood, SEGA probably thought they'd make a good first impression by being upfront about it. "Look, we know you don't like Saturn, but our NEW system is going to address all your complaints and be the most powerful console on the market!!!"

Come to think of it, SEGA were the first to fall for the "more powerful console = better sales" meme, weren't they? Or probably Nintendo with the N64.

the story would have been almost exactly the same had he kept his mouth shut, only difference is we might have a few japanese localizations. Seriously, the saturn had been dead for a year already, it's not like HE'S the one who made it turn out that way
