Bigass Moth posted:Not having the R2/L2 seems like a huge dealbreaker. How do you work around it? The little thumb stick acts as the L2/R2. Pushing left or right uses one, pushing up uses both at once. It's not as bad as it sounds for most games (games like MGS or Power Shovel are totally playable and you can come close to forgetting that you're using a hanky control scheme) but I would never play Megaman Legends on a PSP or other games that require the D-Pad and the 2nd shoulder buttons at the same time.

The official emulator lets you map if the PSP triggers are the 1 or 2 buttons, IIRC, though there's going to be plenty of games where you'd still need to be an octopus to manage things.

I'm confused. Are you guys talking about an emulator or is the PSP natively backwards compatible with PS1 games?

It's playing natively, but it's not an intended feature or anything like that. If I remember correctly you could buy a lot of PS1 games on the PSN market specifically for PSP, but it would be a literal PS1 ISO, with maybe some adjusted controls. Circumventing DRM means you can use its actual hardware to play PS1 games. At least early on. Later models just emulate I think.

I have an official 360 wireless controller with an official 360 USB dongle receiver for Windows that used to work with my Windows Vista machine, but I can't get it to work with my Widows 10 laptop From what I read online it's something to do with the dongle not handling properly on a 64-bit operating system Is there any workaround for this, or should I just junk the controller?

I could see it being a Win10 issue, but they were making those dongles when 64 bit was already a standard. I'll try plugging mine into my Windows 10 machine when I get home and see if it finds the driver.

I know I was using a cheap Chinese clone of the 360 wireless receiver on Win10 around when Win10 released. Honestly, I've never understood the hatred for the unofficial dongles. Mine has never been a problem in any situation, including working without any special assistance on an Android box where I was certain it was going to give me problems. You just plug the thing in, press the pair button on both dongle and controller, and from there it just works.

Did they just expect people to rip their own ISOs and put them on a memory stick or what? Uh, Sony expected you to pay them money for the games. It's just that people figured out how to put their own ISOs on instead of buying the small number of PS1 games Sony officially had on the store. And Sony couldn't really patch the systems to close this loophole without loving up how their older PS1 game sales were delivered, which was too much work and money for them to deal with. It's like how it was really easy to pirate games on the Dreamcast not by Sega's intention, but because they wanted to support a weird interactive CD standard that never really got used. univbee posted:IIRC the PSP itself straight-up has something like the PS1 core built into it and the "emulator" is just activating that.

The PSP's CPU is very similar to an advanced version of the PS1 CPU, both being based on the MIPS basic core design - the PS1 being the R3000 basic core and the PSP being the R4000 basic core. The instruction set available on the R4000 core the PSP uses contains all instructions implemented on the PS1 CPU, making software compatibility very easy to achieve. The PSP then makes use of the fact that the CPU in it operates about 6.5x-10x faster clock rate depending on the mode it's been set in, and uses this extra power to handle emulation of things like the original PS1's sound and video and I/O chips while it executes the CPU code natively. It is similar to how Nintendo chose to achieve backwards compatibility on the Wii and Wii U with the GameCube, via using the same PowerPC basic core design throughout all of them, although Nintendo had less need to emulate the previous video chips since the GPUs they chose to use for the Wii and Wii U were designed to support everything in the GameCube GPU. So the Wii can use native code execution on the CPU and mostly native code execution in the GPU for GameCube titles, where a PSP must do emulation for most of the GPU functionality of the PS1.

Not only should the 360 dongle work, it was even the only option for some win10-specific games like Killer Instinct when it first launched.

No light seems like a sign, though. If you have a multimeter, you could crack it open and test continuity over the F1 fuse. And if there is none, just drop a blob of solder over it to bridge it.

Also just about any Android device and an 8bitdo controller will do PS1 like a boss. Like Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden with frame limiter off was hitting 150 fps on a 30 dollar cheap as gently caress Smart Talk phone from Walmart. With epse emulator. I hadn't hosed with any 3d games on it but I am sure it could handle it. I upgraded to a bigger device that's a little faster mostly for a bigger screen. I'm sure it would be just ducky with 3d. But my 8bitdo controller is a FC30 and thus doesn't have 2nd shoulders or analog sticks so no real need to check it out as of yet. I'm playing FF5 SNES at the moment because switching devices kinda borked my SRW save 15 missions back and my SMS Ultima 4 notes got misplaced and I kinda want to play it legit and am too lazy to rerun through a handful of towns to get the mantras right now. Plus I'm sure my note page is somewhere... Been meaning to play ff5 through for years though the PS1 port loves to lock up on most hardware. I think it only ran right on my launch window PS2 with certain settings. It didn't on a year 1 PS1 or 3 that's for sure.

The ps1 re-releases of the FF games are pretty lovely, so it's no surprise to me that it locks up on you. I've been playing through the ps1 Chrono Trigger in FF Chronicles, and the load times just to enter a battle are like 5-10 seconds. That may not seem like much but compared to the snes or DS versions, it's ridiculous. It does have  anime cutscenes which I guess is a plus, but I'm pretty sure those are in the DS version as well.FF Origins on ps1 at least updated the lovely gameplay decisions in NES FF. Namely characters not retargeting after a targeted enemy dies. Still has some load issues, but the music makes it worth it  Final thought, as bad as the ps1 ports of the 8 and 16 bit Final Fantasies are, I still wish they would have ported FF3, because it would look better on my shelf if I had final fantasy 1-9 for ps1, instead of having a random ds box thrown in right at the beginning.

It worked quite well because MML has auto aim when you're close to an enemy and the few times you need lock on (lake and sky boss in particular) you're largely stationary. It made me realize how brilliantly designed that series is. It doesn't hold a candle to pure analog controls but those guys knew what they were doing when designing a 3D game for what is ostensibly a Super Nintendo controller.

al-azad posted:Long story short he was permabanned(?) for not delivering after collecting hundreds of dollars in a group buy. Someone can go deeper than that. The whole situation was super-weird and incredibly baffling, namely because they were given every opportunity to avoid the permaban and just didn't put in the relatively small amount of  that maintaining a few years' worth of community building would have required. Most people did more or less wind up with their goods eventually, a very small number of people including myself lost somewhat more bigly (in my case I never got an Everdrive GB from a group buy), apparently as a vindication move since I'm so buddy-buddy with the mods (loving what) and orchestrated a grand conspiracy against them (I did try to coordinate a police investigation when it was looking like AP was bolting with thousands of dollars, but the vast majority of people got their Everdrives and other stuff shortly after that and nothing really came of it). Whatever Acid Police hypothetically pocketed from it was definitely not worth burning the years' worth of bridges. Making things worse was that a Google search for AP's real name pulled up some other threads on other boards where similar smaller-scale poo poo went down.Officially, the permaban wasn't even for the Everdrive group buys, but rather for PS2 memory cards that were a few bucks each because the Everdrive group buys weren't done through SA Mart (we got a stern mod talking-to from SWSP and Cowcaster when poo poo was going down because of this). Basically in all likelihood AP just got in over their head due to some awkward timing, like starting a 2nd group buy before a 1st group buy had really settled because of the surprise Everdrive GB announcement, and probably there was some money mismanagement and "stealing from Peter to pay Paul" or whatever that expression is type of planning that didn't really pan out. univbee fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Mar 10, 2017 |

I think posters in this thread should stop making excuses for Acid Police. During the whole mess, AP kept starting even more group buys and taking in more money while saying that he is getting "over his head." It was a total scam, well planned ahead of time.
