How come threads about Raspberry Pi for emulation are allowed

>>4054626
PS2 is too new for /vr/ you faggit

>>4054627
So are Raspberry Pi's and FPGA consoles.

>>4054627
Not OP but I get his point.
Like disussion of PSX games is allowed, why wouldn't dissusion of PSX games under PS2 be?

>>4054631
Exactly

>>4054631
>>4054632
Then why did my thread about PS2 for emulation get deleted?

>>4054635
Mods on /vr/ are like that

>>4054638
>>>/global/rules/7

If you really give a shit and aren't just being hypothetical, emulation on PS2 is GARBAGE. Hasn't seen a shred of development in nearly a decade and is too under-powered to do anything beyond NES well, there's nothing to discuss.

>>4054686
>emulation on PS2 is GARBAGE
source

>>4054635
Somebody told you that a raspberry pi is much better at emulating SNES and you said that a raspberry pi is out of the question because it can't emulate PS2 games.

>>4054816
>because it can't emulate PS2 games.
are you retarded? PS2 doesn't emulate PS2 games
it's just a bonus that you can also natively play those

emulator threads should all be shut down then because all those platforms emulators run also have native games that are out of /vr/

>>4054856
Sixth gen outside of the DC will NEVER EVER be retro.

Deal with fucking it, kiddo.

>>4054626
>>4054635
I've never seen any issues with talking about that sort of thing as long as it stayed retro, mod was probably just angry that his mommy didn't buy him the right kind of hot pockets and deleted your thread out of frustration.

>>4054834
>are you retarded? PS2 doesn't emulate PS2 games

You need to learn to read. I never said the PS2 emulates PS2 games.

OP wanted to know if the PS2 is a good console for running SNES emulators and stuff. Some dude told him it isn't and that the raspberry pi is a much more capable emulation box. OP refused to use a pi because he wants to play PS2 games.

>>4054861
Why would you not want to broaden discussion and talk about more games on this board?

>Deal with fucking it, kiddo
You alright anon? You should get some rest.

>>4054834
>emulator threads should all be shut down then because all those platforms emulators run also have native games that are out of /vr/
Does have a point though.

>>4054861
>Sixth gen outside of the DC will NEVER EVER be retro.
>Deal with fucking it, kiddo.
Wut.
It's just a matter of time.

PS4 will be retro too one day.
Just takes a while for the new autists to make over and declare new rules, once /vr/ has mods that weren't even born when the PS2 came out, trust me, it will be retro.

>>4054635
What did you post?

>>4054886
Just that does the PS2 SNES emulator output 240p and general emulators on PS2 thread

>>4054884
People said "it's just a matter of time" like 3 years ago.

The fact is PS2 games are much closer to PS4 games than they are SNES games.

>>4054893
What are you on about? They still release Dreamcast games.

I wish fucking Dreamcast was never allowed so it wouldn't have set a retarded fucking precedent.

>>4054894
So?

The SNES and Mega Drive still has games coming out for them, too. The Atari as well. By that logic, no game discussion is allowed.

>>4054894
Not officially. Those are homebrews.

>>4054895
The funny thing is most 6thgen kids never even played a DC.

>>4054893
3 years is nothing
try 10

>>4054893
>The fact is PS2 games are much closer to PS4 games than they are SNES games.
I fail to see your logic.
There is no such _fact_.

>SNES is 10 years apart from PS2
>PS4 is 13 years apart from PS2

>>4054909
The time doesn't make a lot of difference. PS2 games are barely different to PS4 games, but totally different to SNES games.

I'll never understand how the people who run this shithole made these rules up.

Let's have a thread about Intrepid Izzy, which is currently in development in the year 2017, but fuck that guy who wants to talk about Jet Set Radio Future which came out in 2002.

What a great retro board.

>>4054914

What a special snowflake you are. Go pat yourself on the back somewhere else.

>>4054917
I'm special because I have enough brain power and logical capability that I can see Master Chief and any retro character have little to no simulates and obviously represent different eras?

Damn you kids set the bar low for yourselves.

>>4054917

That shit is vaporware like beasts of rage, you don't have to worry about that

I was wondering why I was calling the PS2 "6th gen" and not labeling it with the Atari 2600. Thanks for clearing that one up.

It's almost as if you aren't even paying attention to what anyone is discussing here.

>>4054924
Because slapping "6th gen" after it makes the difference...

>>4054925
Dreamcast is 6th gen

We should either remove all Dreamcast discussion along with any software past 1999 or bring in all 6th gen consoles and stop having these daily threads

>>4054926
The DC is SEGA's last console also.

>>4054928
And?

>>4054931
It's an end of an age and died rather early into 6th gen, so it was eventually decided to allow it here. That's something you have to remember, for a good while the Dreamcast wasn't even allowed on this site and it eventually was after a few years went by.

In spite of all the "never ever" people on this board I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of 6th gen was allowed eventually, it's just I doubt now is the time.

I personally wish it were allowed here, but in the end I don't really mind the current rules either. What I do mind is the screeching hostility any time somebody brings up the idea, it's ridiculous.

>>4054931
I don't like it but it's still their last console.

>>4054914
Holy cringe, how dare you think 90's video games characters are from the same era as 80's ones

Cause ps2 triggers so much autism here. Idk its got the best catalogue of games.

But it upsets people here so bringing it up gets it reported a lot so itll get deleted by an autisic janny.

>>4054913
Ps2 is closer to ps1 which is retro by vr standards than they are to ps3.

Yes, and 6th gen was the last gen to use it as its main form of distribution. 7th/8th where more online distro.

Nope a tiny fraction of players where using online for ps2/xbox/gc. Hell didnt the dreamcast have the biggest user online that gen? OH AND THATS retro here.

Hell even the snes had Satellaview, Mega Drive the Sega Channel. Online for retro consoles was small till 7th gen. And 6th gen had it small.


>What the fuck does that mean bucko?
First day here? I guess thats why you failed to green text.

>>4055526
Sounds worrying similar to Dreamcast...except that "retro" system had online baked into the hardware from day one unlike the PS2.

The whole calendar-based divide is clearly a joke and whoever decided to capitulate to the fanboys who whined for its inclusion here needs their head examining.

>>4055538
>Yes, and 6th gen was the last gen to use it as its main form of distribution. 7th/8th where more online distro.
You're telling me the Wii used online distribution? Cmon kid you should had atleast been like 8 by the the time the Wii came out.
>Nope a tiny fraction of players where using online for ps2/xbox/gc.
PS2 had FF and XBox had Halo amount other online titles. A huge amount people were online, kiddo.
>Hell even the snes had Satellaview, Mega Drive the Sega Channel. Online for retro consoles was small till 7th gen. And 6th gen had it small.
Weren't online services. They were streaming services or mock internet providers in the case of SEGA.
>First day here? I guess thats why you failed to green text.
No really kid. Explain to me what made for CRT means?
>>4055540
It works fine and the DC should be treated as an exception.

>>4055540
Pretty sure that was moot. and that fuck head misused the word retro, when he meant old, and the clown isnt even here anymore.

>>4055548
>Wii used online distribution
It did. Lots of indie games, and emulated stuff. Still carried on today on ninty consoles.

Unlike the ps2 online which is the only one not using the PSN, which was introduced with psp/ps3.

>A huge amount people were online, kiddo.
Hahah might wanna back that up

ps2 had 150m units sold, less than 2m people where using its online services.

ps3 had little over 80m units sold and psn reportadly had around 70m people using it.
>>4055548
>Explain to me what made for CRT means
Lurk the fuck more.


thats a fucking huge difference.

>>4055548
The Wii is just Gamecube 2 with gimmick controllers. It's 6th Gen.

>DC should be treated as an exception
Indeed. A non-retro system on a retro board.

Oh and lay off with the schoolyard insults. It takes away any credibility from your opinions and labels you a twat.

>>4055564
And lets not forget the Wii was basically an upgraded Gamecube with online functions out the box, basically upgrading the GC to 7th gen.

>>4055567
>Oh and lay off with the schoolyard insults. It takes away any credibility from your opinions and labels you a twat.

Yeah but it makes me laugh when people lack the ability to express them selves and have to resort to throwing insults and trying to demean someones argument by calling them underage.

No problem kid. See unlike you I was there. Or at the very least I don't put blinders up. Halo was fucking huge. As the article says, and you can get the same interview elsewhere, over 160,000 people were playing online in the first 24 hours of the NA release of Halo2. To put that into more perspective. This record was not beat until Gears of War on the XBox 360.

To say 6th gen has no to little online is the most ignorant and underage statement you can make as far as video games are concerned. Say old games look shit and aged like milk. Saying 6th gen had no online though is pure retardation. I honestly think you have mental problems.

In no way is 6th gen like 5th you dumb underage shit.

But he did a graphics comparison.

Considering by 2004 the xbox had sold 20m units, thats a small arse number. And halo 3 had over 1m players at launch month with 10m units sold. thats a much bigger % of players using online.

Thats not what we are talking about. We are talking about how little amount of people used online for 6th gen console compared to 7th gen consoles. Your numbers backed up my argument that fuck all people where using online services in 6th gen, hence why they are nearer to 5th in compasison.

Standard Definition, made for use with a crt and low end INTERNET usage. Like the rest of the retro consoles here.

>>4055734
I fail to see by anyone standards how having 160k people on at one time, not total here dumbass, in the first 24 hours is fuck all.

>>4055746
>6thgen was not SD
90% of was 480i/480p, less than 50 games accroess the entire generation had support for 720p and above. It was a majority SD generation, designed around the use of a CRT, fuck the damn consoles all came with composite cables. None support HDMI and official component cables are rare as fuck today as they where produced in such a limited quantity.

>>4055756
480p is ED, champ.
>None support HDMI and official component cables are rare as fuck today as they where produced in such a limited quantity.
The XBox and PS2 were dvd players, kid. They had component cables everywhere,.

>>4055759

Still not that widely supported. and also supported by 5th gen and dreamcast. Not really changing my mind here.

>>4055761

What does component have to do with interlace or progressive, kiddo?

>>4055759
>tfw I got a launch PS2 and hooked it up to my RF-only KV-1400.

As I recall it was the 2.35:1 Special Edition pressing of The Terminator which finally caused me to upgrade to a 28" WEGA and Blaze Ultimate SCART cable.

I digress. Component cables were not in any way widely used, at least here in europe.

>>4055762
about 100 games on the xbox supported 480p out of the 1000 or so released.
10% for ED and 90% SD. I'm still in the majorty. And still less than 5$ for High Def which was my point anyway cause who even gives a fuck about ED, this is the first time im even seeing it come up on this board in months, it kinda just feels like your grasping at straws now.

>>4055765
>What does component have to do with interlace or progressive, kiddo?

Its pretty much 0 difference running 480i to 480p with composite cables.

>>4055770
That's more than the whole of 5thgen.
Now sort by games people give a fuck about.

How about naming those 480p 5thgen games kiddo I'm waiting?

Oh and another thing kiddo. Just because I was curious. Of the top 25 played games in the past 30 days on steam. Only 4 have had more players online at one time than Halo2. In 2017 only 4 current games beat it. http://steamcharts.com/top

>>4055769

The most players at one time are not based off the day. They are the most players online ever for that game.

3.6m players playing games on steam right now vs 160k playing on xbox live in 2004.

I think thats a big difference. Keep grasping at straws

>>4055802
You've lose the argument in tech specs.
5thgen was 240p
6thgen was 480i/480p or higher.

5thgen had no online
6thgen had online

Maybe you would have an argument if there was some retro analogue for Master Chief. Like any retro analogue not just from 5th gen.

>>4055805
>5thgen was 240p
>6thgen was 480i/480p or higher.
Both standard definitions. Not HD and all supported by SD tvs and designed for CRTS.

Both consoles look fucking terrible on a HDTV. Even the framemiseter and OSSC (whatever its called) supper 6tth gen consoles for uspaling to a hd tv.

>5thgen had no online
>6thgen had online

Both had online actually, so did the 4th, look it up, no one was using it but they damn well had it. And all around a tiny fraction of users was using online until 7th gen, which was my argument.

Keep grasping at straws, name calling and making bad analogies, youll always be wrong on this.

>>4055810
Again kid. 480p is not SD.
OSSC does not de interlace? COuld be wrong. Either way you're talking about de interlacing vs scaling.
>Both had online actually
If you keep saying it that doesn't make it true. Sorry, champ.

>youll always be wrong on this.
Maybe retards like you who think 480p is SD even after been told multiple times it's not.

>>4055814
>Again kid. 480p is not SD.
How does this not change a single point of my argument? Saturn could output in ED. And difference between SD and ED are minimal.


>If you keep saying it that doesn't make it true. Sorry, champ.

Sega NetLink

>>4055827
>>4055814
Infact EDTV is a term only americans used. 480p was SD everywhere else.

>>4055827
>Saturn could output in ED
Name a 5thgen game that did 480p. You keep making these claims.
>Sega NetLink
In 5thgen this wasn't an online service. There were no servers. Also in Japan it was more of a pay to play type thing were you bought minutes.

>>4055836
No one cares if PALshit called it SD. NTSC U and J was ED.

>>4055853
Yes that is the definition of online. That's not what modern online services are. A moder online services does 3 things:
-Provide servers
-Provide updates

Just not on old consoles and not well.

Aka computers and some digital television receivers.

>>4055837
bought minutes to play online.

>>4056176
Your point is that ALL of it's games had to be online? That has nothing to do with a console being able to download games off a official store.
Even todays consoles have content on physical media that's not available in the online store.

>>4055857
you're moving goalposts repeatedly and it's embarrassing. Segalink was absolutely online play. and video games had online capabilities long before that, like NWN

>>4056186
No goal posts, champ. See how well it would work out for PSN or XBox live if they announced tomorrow that they were shutting all their servers down for P2P networks and you still have to pay the monthly fee. Ya that's not goalposts that just reality.

>>4056198
>You seem autistic. Being able to download some snes roms doesn't mean it used digital distribution. You tried.
No, I'm not a nitpicking faggot, that would be autistic.

The point was, can it download games from an official store, does it have online services?
Yes and yes.

>>4056205
Was Galaxy available digitally on the Wii? Pretty sure it wasn't.

>>4056198
>>Saturn
>Still waiting on that 480p game.
I have no fucking idea about the Saturn, what the fuck are you talking about? You were talking about the Saturn and saying there is no difference in ED and SD in general.

>You tried.
Who the fuck says shit like that? Is this your shitposting board? Do you imply every post is bait?

>>4056209
Different anon. I assumed you were the idiot from before saying 5thgen had 480p games.

>>4056208
What has this to do with anything?
There are games for PS4 and Xbone that don't have digital download versions, do they fit in with the Wii now?
By your definition we don't have consoles that have online stores, never had.

>>4056219
Galaxy was a major title for the Wii. It not being digitally disturbed is a big deal if you're trying to say all the 7th gen consoles had digital distribution as some kind of priority.
>Yes, and 6th gen was the last gen to use it as its main form of distribution. 7th/8th where more online distro.
Was the main quote.

>>4055805
>>4055810
5th gen with the Dreamcast was barely getting "online".
BARELY. Everything else before that is even more of a joke/social experiment.

6th gen consoles already came with networking support built in.

>>4056226
Kids wont get that. They see the shit on wiki and they think it's like PSN Lite or something.

>>4056223
>Galaxy was a major title for the Wii. It not being digitally disturbed is a big deal if you're trying to say all the 7th gen consoles had digital distribution as some kind of priority.
Nobody said they are 100% digital distribution only.

>where more online
That's about right though.

>6th gen GC
>Media - Nintendo GameCube Game Disc

>7th gen Wii
>Media - Physical and digital

>>4056229
You'd have a point if the biggest console of the 7thgen wasn't using physical media as it's only form of distribution for its biggest games.

Again the quote is
>>Yes, and 6th gen was the last gen to use it as its main form of distribution. 7th/8th where more online distro.
Specifically
>was the last gen to use it as its main form of distribution
Which is just wrong.

>>4056226
>5th gen with the Dreamcast was barely getting "online".

So was the 6th gen. I count less than 1% of people using ngc/xbox/ps2's online as barely, apparently Im wrong though

Which was my whole point of 6th gen being separated from 7th gen more and closer to the 5th gen.

>6th gen consoles already came with networking support built in.
only the xbox, maybe the dreamcast

gamecube and ps2 did not.

>>4056256
>So was the 6th gen
How delusional do you have to be? Like I figured after I showed you the Stream figures it might bring you back to reality but nope.

>>4056258
Oh its you again. Dude that meant fuck all to anyone with a sound mind. Please check yourself into some type of facilty. I'm talking about CONSOLES, not games.

Even if anything your Halo 2 figures show one thing, that 1 game got played online a bunch.

My numbers actually show that less than 1% of people where playing online during 6th gen who owned a console. That is fucking nothing. 7th gen that went up.

Like I don't get it. Only 4 of these games has had more peak players than Halo 2. The top most played games in the last 30 days. Yet somehow in your fucked up 6th genner brain you still think online was nothing? That's not even consoles... that's PC gaming. As you said. Hardcore online only PC games. And Halo2 had higher peak players. Sorry if that doesn't change your mind you're either mentally deficient and or trolling. I mean wow.

>>4056274

>>4056274
>Like I don't get it

I know you dont.
Here:
Youre looking at the wrong numbers. your comparing numbers from the consoles biggest launch that brought every subscriber online at once, vs single games.
2mill online right now playing games on steam on a random monday night, vs 160k online on xbox live on the biggest laucnh of the console.

Online exploded on consoles with the 7th gen, it was fucking tiny 6th gen, your numbers are showing this

>>4056285
These are the top 10 games based on peak players going back to 2013. Halo 2 would beat some of these. Halo 2 would fit in a top 10 peak hours list of PC games in 2017 but you still somehow do the mental gymnastics to say it didn't matter.

Let me repeat that. A console game from 2004 would fit into a top 10 peak players list on steam in 2017.

This isn't even an argument at this point. You're mentally deficient.

Less than 1% for 5th and 6th and more then 80 for 7th

I do have the information that Halo2 was a massively popular game both online and off in 6th gen.

>>4056331
>one game was popular online 6th gen

thats all you got.
and it still made up less than 1% of people playing video games at home on consoles in the year 2004

>>4056343
Now we both know your mkaing that up

It's literary in the middle ground.

>>4056352
I always though it's autism for calling others "kids" on /vr/, but I begin to see now it's true.

>>4054884

Don't bother. While most people on /vr/ are probably okay, the loud 50 year olds get triggered by the thought of PS2 games and such being considered retro. I don't get it either.

>>4054976

It's sad, because I really liked /vr/ in its first couple of weeks.

>>4056742
>>4056747
Sadly, /vr/ is literary the autism center of anything old that's game and it's tech related.
It has such a bad repetition on other boards and even outside of 4chan.

It sucks, it really downs everyone if the hobby you also like is being made to seem like a autism shitfest.

Jesus, I didn't realize it was that bad. I only show up a couple of times a year now when I'm really, really bored.

>>4056765
I was under the impression that other boards barely know that /vr/ exists at all.

Entire thread boils down to this:
>Newfags show up
>Whine that they can't talk about certain things here
>Oldfags say "We set up these rules years ago."
>Newfags whine at what Oldfags set.

Y'know the greatest part about 4chan? All the rules for the boards were generally agreed on. Don't like it? Find somewhere else. Jesus, it's not that hard a concept.

It'd be one thing if none of those old guys were around anymore, but walking into someone else's place and telling them to change their standards is beyond retarded.

/vr/ is fine the way it is. PS2 conversation could be fun, but you can just go to /v/. All this thread comes down to is "Wah-wah pander to me."

>>4054878

>>4056924
what are you talking about? I think you are confused

>>4056841
Did you even read the thread?
I think you didn't even get the point.
It's talk about emulation and not the console PS2, same with Raspberry Pi.

Why the fuck should someone go to /v/ to talk about NES emulation on PS2 if there are several threads about NES emulation on the Pi on /vr/ already, seems like /vr/ should be the logical place for it.

>>4056765
it's bad

it's probably that some autistic mod got triggered for nothing

I swear people on /vr/ must suffer some form on arrested development. You're all trying to play the cool kid who's in some secret club, lol 6th gen console discussion isn't going to magically make the 80th FF6 thread vanish nor is it going to make conversation on here any worse (you guys and the /v/ trolls have already done a good job at that). Most of y'all who are so adamant are probably sad sacks who want to feel some sense of control over something as trivial as what constitutes a "retro" console.

>>4054913
PS2 games are more like PSX games and GameCube games are more like N64 games and so on and so forth. It really wasn't until AAA gaming became a thing around 2006-2008 or so, when the Xbox 360 and PS3 were out, when we started to see what looks a lot like modern gaming today. Cease with your shitty analogy.

>>4061347
Gotta agree, wasnt till ps3/ xbox360 till we had
day 1 dlc, on disc dlc, day 1 patches, busted games on release.

>>4061347
No but. Those games aren't retro because of "insert bogus and emotion fueled reason here" kid. It's like you want those dumb chads and mainstream guidos to ruin my secret funhouse. We should argue about whether it's better to play with hardware or emulate for the millionth time.

>>4061759
>Those games aren't retro because of "insert bogus and emotion fueled reason here" kid
I never said they weren't. I'm just saying that they have very little in common with the current gen consoles' games compared to that of the PS1. Plus, doesn't that reason basically describe every PS1 JRPG minus maybe the King's Field games and Shadow Tower?

probably a lazy auto-search for PS2 since it's probably the most obvious not-/vr/ thing people try to talk about

Day 1 patches were definitely a thing during the 6th gen, but the on disc dlc and day 1 dlc were definitely 7th gen operations. Internet speeds were too slow for day 1 dlc between 2002-2006 to even be a thing in the first place and dlc was often on the Xbox live store or the PS2 equivalent and were sold and downloaded. You don't know what you are talking about.

>>4062620
I have no idea what your sentence says and it's contradictory to itself.

>>4054626
They aren't. Discussing emulation is alright. If you got a thread wiped for it a mod dun fucked up, that being said it's not like emulators on the PS2 are that widespread of a thing anyway. I can see why you'd want to start a thread for it specifically rather than throwing it in a general emulation thread but for the same exact reason I can see not getting any replies.

>>4062624
I'm saying that you're either stupid or bullshitting when you are saying on-disc dlc and day 1 dlc were actually things developers did in the early 2000s when that would require more space than they had available on the storage mediums of the day and would require way aster Internet speeds than were common at the time.
