So I just checked out the website for the first time in months and apparently it's out now. You can buy the PS-IO for $150AUD.
http://ps-io.com/store/psio-cartridge/
It's a bit pricey and requires soldering shit to the board before it'll work, but I still want one. I just don't want to spend that much for one. Has anybody bought one?
Alternatively, if you want to store a collection of PS1 image files and play them "authentically," the next best thing is modding a PS3 with custom firmware and using software that allows you to boot PS1 images from it. It's emulation, but it's Sony's official PS1 emulation, so it's a step up from kids who emulate PS1 games on their computer.

that's about 115 American money for people who live in counties who matter.

Are you implying that in-house emulators are guaranteed to be -better- than independently developed emulators? That is not the case; Mednafen has higher compatibility than Sony's own PS3-emu or the PS2 sofware emulation layer and that's a fact.
Regarding PSIO, I still have mixed feelings. Some say it's super great and others not so much. I don't know who's shilling who but it's probably wise to check out a few YouTube reviews or some shit before purchasing.

Is memorizing the level cheating? If you know what happens every step of the way it is boring and no longer a game. Memorization isn't true game skill.

What are some spiritual successors to Quake 1, seeing as Quake 2 failed in all regards as a sequel?
Mods and unofficial sequels are acceptable.

There was Malice, a commercially released total conversion. I thought it was awesome when it was new, but really it's not as good as the original Quake.

Do you also consider the NES/Master System as the dark ages of gaming? No the eras before that weren't the dark ages, those were even worse, those were bronze and prehistoric ages.
I skipped them completely because I consider them irrelevant. I started with the NES era. I played about 80% percent of the relevant NES library and I despise them.
It was no fun playing them. It was torture. Okay 5-6 titles were fun. But that was about it. Mostly it was hell. Now I focus on the SNES era the and then after the PS1/N64 era - the one true eras - and I feel so relieved.
I really value gaming now, after living through NES-Hell for months. The only purpose of outliving the NES-Hell was to value gaming and the eras beyond 8bit so, so so much more now.
I value older games now so much more, I can see all the detail in 16bit games and beautiful game mechanics of them and also the quality and level of detail of the first 3d games on n64 and ps1, while before I was very spoiled by HD graphics.
The NES lowered my standards so much that the 4th and 5th gen are I like 4K to me. I feel happy graduating from the NES era into a better future. Thank you NES.

Previous Thread - >>3038586
This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!
>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.
>Produce OC! Get out your real cameras and take beautiful pictures of your CRTs displaying recognizable characters with the kind of beautiful accuracy that brings tears to the eyes of young and old alike! If you take 100 photos, at least one of them will turn out alright! (maybe)
>Try to be as detailed as possible when asking info on a specific model. As always, google is your friend, and we are your friends with benefits. Older archived threads aren't a bad place to look either.
>Share appreciation for others choice of technology and personal philosophy of gaming. As always show courtesy in your discussion and moderate yourselves first.
Discussion of video processing and scaling devices is okay, but try to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories

Please forgive me for not knowing what I'm really talking about but the picture on my Trinitron is tilted slightly, just enough that it's noticable. Is this normal or should I look into fixing it somehow?
On another note am I always supposed to see overscan in stuff like Genesis games or is that unusual too? Once again I'm sorry for sounding like an idiot.

No one who has ever played the first Starfox game believes that.
5th gen is when 3d became more plausible for platformers and stuff though.

Everything about the Saturn and 3D. People who think that 3D was added because they were afraid of Sony, that it's an afterthought and that it sucks at doing 3D, that the best parts of its library are all 2D games, etc...

I hear it a lot when I'm talking to casual players and the subject comes up. Generally when I say I'm not into indie games since they usually like to talk about them.
It comes up on /vr/ all the time too when someone says 5th generation is the start of modern games too.

W-wow. This game both looks and sounds gorgeous. Should really have played this sooner.
It doesn't really hold your hand though. When is the right time to send your warriors to Valhalla? I suppose I'm first meant to fulfill their traits. There's a whole lot of stuff in the menus but is the game really quite simple or am I missing something big time?

It was awhile since I played it but I'm pretty sure I maxed the traits before sending anyone. If you want the true ending, you basically have to use a guide so leave it for the second playthrough.

Do yourself a gigantic favor and just use a FAQ to figure out the Valhalla-sending stuff, as well as how to get the good ending.
Are you playing on Hard Mode?
>>
>>3059767
I would recommend against getting the best ending first. Unless OP knows for a fact he will only play it once. It's not just the actual ending that changes but also bosses and events so you're going to miss out on stuff by not doing the normal ending first.

Actually both are pretty good but the Genesis version is still better

It's all subjective, but I prefer the harder, sharper sound of the Genesis. Some SNES music seems kind of flat and muffled.

The SNES version uses more diverse instrumentation, but the main melody sounds really dull.

Most of my top 10 games of all time can be considered "retro" as i haven't really latched on to too many newer games as my all time favorites. Thought making the list of 10 would be harder but i had a difficult time narrowing down the last 2 spots. I also could not arrange anything past number 1, so my list, in no order goes:
1. Everquest
Ocarina of time
Links awakening
Pokemon Red
Fallout 4
Day of the tentacle
Indiana jones and the fate of atlantis
Earthbound
Battlefield: 2142
honorable mentions to WoW, GTA Series, Gran Turismo series, and a bunch of the other lucas arts point and click, Full Throttle, Sam and Max hit the road, etc

Here you go. I made this for an earlier thread. The only other game I wanted to include is Super Columns, but this was strictly a 3x3 chart so I didn't have room.
I don't know if I could rank the games in any particular order, because I honestly distribute a pretty even amount of attention to everything in the chart. I guess my favorite game overall though is Zelda II.
