There's tons of that shit and it's hilarious. People were calling nintendo all games for fags and pedophiles when the 64 was brand new. There's some old one I remember talking about ocarina of time and it's almost exactly the same shit Chad Warden was saying 10 years later about Twilight Princess. Saying Link was a little homo bitch who gets no pussy lmao
There's a non-zero chance that he crawled up a great fairy's vagina at some point in the Hyrulean mythos.
In middle school I had a Zelda book in class once and I remember a kid asking me to look at it and while he flipped through it he was pondering the nature of something along those lines out loud. that same dude years later heard me and another guy in high school talking about Akira or something and he was like you guys like old anime? Yall should come over to my house I got tons of crazy shit.
I thought the GC version was heavily censored? Is it fine with original textures?
Maybe it's fast enough for disc drive games?
Game Gear was a boondoggle. And you wouldn’t believe how short these Game Gear games are.
I just run all of my games with OPL off a big hdd on my old phatty ps2. I don't want to swap discs, and it works just fine. I haven't even ejected the drive tray in years, I think. My discs can collect dust, redump has me covered. I needed to borrow a codebreaker, years ago, to install FMCB. Never needed a boot disk after that. OPL has run everything I've thrown at it from the hdd, and before that HDLoader did decently for me. FMCB/FHDB and OPL have gotten pretty good.
There's some good Disney Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck games. As a kid I liked the Power Rangers games and Tails Adventure. Shinobi and the Shining games are good. For emulating I'd check out some of the fan translations there's a coca cola game and some good rpgs with them. If a game gear game has a master system conversion available play that instead they're always better and easier to play because of the added screen space. makes the sonic games loads better. there's a Road Runner and Coyote game I had as a kid you should avoid at all costs it's a piece of shit.
well in half of ocarina and in twilight princess link is a grown man. the sentiment was less that though and more he spends the whole game chasing the pussy, but for nothing.
as a fellow OPL user Popstarter barely works I've fucked with it on and off for 10+ years and it isn't worth it. OPL has a few problem games that don't really work but Popstarter is more so it has a few lucky games that do work. Just use emulation or buy a cheap ps1 instead.
I choose DEGA, only because it has this feature called "Enhanced PSG" which IMO makes the music sound better at times instead of the standard chiptune. Only thing is that it only distorts ONE main channel and the bass channel rather than all the instruments.
If you REALLY want to play PSX games on your PS2, you could try using MechaPWN assuming your console is the right version. This basically allows you to run burned PSX CDs on your PS2. Personally I would rather use Duckstation as I like all of the bells and whistles that come with that emulator (RetroAchievements being the major one nowadays along with CRT filters).
I ended up getting sick of POP and just shoving an xStation in my childhood ps1 after dicking around emulating for awhile. If I'm not using my old tv in my spare room (giant ass 350 pound son of a bitch mitsubishi 40 something inch crt) I just use Duckstation myself. it's just really not worth fucking around with the options on a ps2. at the mechapwn point you could just burn them for your ps1 and disc swap.
I found out yesterday that there's a japan-only Popeye beach volleyball game made by the developers of River City Ransom/Kunio, you should check that out for the novelty. I use PicoDrive, it's newer than Genesis Plus GX and it's pretty good
I'll preface this by saying I think this platform kinda sucks.
As I understand it the MC bus is still slower than DVD loading. Which can a problem ranging from annoying (slow load times, FMV skipping) to game breaking (timing issue when loading).
It does not do anything special in that regard. For PS2 you could use FreeMcBoot for like almost 20 years now to softmod and there's no boot disks needed.
This is absolutely the way to do PS1 games on a PS2. MechaPwn is great.
Personally I really like using a real CRT for PS1 games, so if I'm not using a real disc I tend to use a PSPgo attached to a CRT with real 240p output, compatibility is near perfect after years of people researching how to improve the PSP pops and there are a lot of pre-made eboots out there. It's a costly setup to get going these days but there are some very neat PSP consolizer / docking solutions which are scaling up in production and may be a better solution in the end: https://www.retromodworks.com/
Both of the Shinobi games are good. Alien Syndrome is like an asset flip of the original arcade game that plays very differently. I found that out for myself because these kinds of port differences are weirdly uncharted territory. I want to say there's not much on the platform, but I haven't examined every single port, so who knows. I *think* the Ninja Gaiden game and Golden Axe rpg might not be straight SMS ports.
yeah it's better than USB but still way slower than using a disc or hard drive. it wouldn't effect most games but using a hard drive or burned discs is still the way to go. the memory card method now isn't any easier than shoving a drive in the back of a FAT ps2 it's the same thing but slower.
I was looking at MX4SIO & MMCE the last time I was on psxplace and ps2home, when I last updated OPL & stuff earlier this year. Its cool that they can do it, but I'm sticking with a hdd. I should get a SATA adapter for it so I can throw a bigger drive in. I need to look into that, soon. That IDE drive is getting old...
I went all in and upgraded when OPL builds for exfat came out and I have I think an 8tb shoved in mine in a SATA adapter. I had an IDE one in there for years. I wanted the full US library plus room for fan translations because they're starting to trickle out and every now and then I'll find out about a PAL only release I want to check out. I got and checked out MX4ISO when it came out, and it was cool but not really something I needed so I just gave it to my friend because it was only like $20 and if you're not like me who wants everything just there already, it's nice to just load with what you're going to play when you're going to play it. especially now that 1tb sd cards are like $100 that would set you for a long time for a low price of entry. the MMCE is even better for that type of thing. I'm just one of those guys who wants to load it once and every time I hear about something, I already have it and just turn it on. every like 2 years I'll look up translations and hacks that have come out for a system and add what I want that have come out but besides that, I never have to mess with any of it again.
God, I know that feel. That is why I was kind of hopeful about popstarter. I have some 4 and 6TB sata drives laying around doing nothing, If I could load up a PSX library as easily as the PS2 library and just have it work...
