Rirse posted:Since my PS2 Slim that I was using for playing backup PS1 games is toasted (laser died), should I wait for the PSIO or just get a PSP GO as they suppose to be really good for playing PS1 games on a tv. The later at least means I don't have to wait a long time to play games on and also don't have to sent off my PS1 to get modded to use the PSIO. If you've got a PS3 around, you can also jailbreak it and run PS1 games off the hard drive or USB. I don't know if it'll work with backup discs, haven't tried it myself.

No PS3 at all since I gave my dad the old one. Plus it being in 480p instead of 240p hurts the games compared to the PSP Go or PS1. Honestly the Go probably better as I can’t solder so no going with just missing a extra PS1 (I would had someone do that for the PSIO).

financially racist posted:pocky and rocky is roughly the same (absurd) price for either version, which sucks cause that game kicks rear end I guess I lucked out getting a Japanese Pocky and Rocky last year for 60-70. Granted its missing the back warning label and the front label is a bit faded, but it's a legit copy and it works. Actually earlier this month there was a couple of Super Aleste carts on eBay from known sellers going at that same 60-70 range instead of the more common 100 dollars. I got one, and while it's a good game I still like the charm of Gun-Nac more. edit: I just browsed around and there's super cheap copies of Area 88 available on sfc (also known as UN Squadron).

Ofecks posted:Due to every page having comments that "<x platform>'s games are too expensive" and "how are the quality of repro carts?", might be worth highlighting somewhere in the thread title or OP that hey, there are these cool things called flash carts and you should buy one. It's pretty prominent in the op tho  e: seriously I have no idea why price complaining is still a thing. either you're a collector and you know poo poo is expensive because your weird tribe made it that way, or you're normal and have a flashcart (etc)

It's not really a bother, it's just a question that I expect to become more and more common over the next few years as these reprocarts become more common from companies trying to cash in. The Retrobit multicarts though aren't really much higher quality than the aliexpress specials, though they at least use a real (5v) flash chip instead of an epoxy blob.

Otherwise I am stuck having to control the games with the PSP as a controller, which will blow on any PS1 games that had L2/R2 or right stick controls. If it didn't have that problem then I wouldn't even worry about the PSP Go. Shame the PSTV is so gimped, between it resolution issues and no way to add games not on the PSN Store.

I haven't messed with mine in a few months, but it had a permanent custom firmware option when I did [Henkaku Enso], with USB mass storage, and Adrenaline seems to work fine for PS1/PSP emulation. As long as you're on the right firmware, that is.

If you have a PSTV, the best way I've found to get good quality video out of it is this convoluted setup: PSTV set to 1080i -> HDCP Stripping Splitter -> HDMI IN on Framemeister -> Out to TV via HDMI at 1080p. Because Vita games are 540p, 1080i being line doubled to 1080p looks great because each single field of interlaced 1080 is 540 rows. No one should run out and buy a Framemeister for this purpose, but many of us already have one lying around, so why not use it? But, the only real value I think this provides is a way to play the few good Vita exclusives (P4G) on a TV in pretty good quality. There are so many other ways to get a PS1 game on a TV, you should probably use them instead.

d0s posted:new PCB day I wonder how easy it is to rotate the monitors in cocktail cabinets. From what I gather, most vertically-oriented Japanese games were meant to be played in cocktails over there up until candy cabs took over as the standard (the early 90s?). I'm guessing that also explains the lack of screen flip switch as player 1 can just sit on whatever side of the table. e: why would you rotate the monitor in a cocktail when you can just flip the table around?

Did they go with the "City" name because it was a small cabinet form-factor designed to be crammed into urban Japanese arcades, where it can be assumed that floor space was at a premium?

What up fam a package arrived from Japan   A Hori Commander for PC Engine! I've only gotten to play with the controller for a few minutes but I can already tell this is hands down my favorite PC Engine controller. Every button feels extremely responsive instead of mush like the other controllers and it has grooves on the top of the controller to rest your index fingers in to give you a better grip on the controller. Along with that it has 3 stages of rapid fire that appear to work better than the 2 stages normally used. ...I may have a PC Engine controller addiction

Ok, that's kind of adorable. The metal legs/feet look similar to what they used for cocktails. Imagine playing Star Force on one of those when it was brand new.  quote:e: and candy cabs really took over around the late 80's around the time sega's "city" came out On youtube, I saw this Japanese promotional video for Daisenpuu (aka Twin Hawk, the Toaplan shmup with the helper squadron formation), and the host was playing it on a cocktail. This was 1989. I was surprised because I thought by then cocktails were long dead, so I made the assumption they were still standard in 89. flyboi posted:What up fam a package arrived from Japan Nice! I would be wary of those arrow-shaped indentations on the d-pad, though. The stock NES controllers have them and they tore up my thumb as a kid. Or maybe I'm just mildly retarded and press too hard. Also, please give the meowbox some pets for me. The yoscatte thread was asking about her recently, they would appreciate a post.

Naw tables stuck around for quite a bit (and can still be found in some JP arcades) but they just weren't the majority anymore by the end of the 80's. Some of the very last tables made are extremely dank (and worth a ton of money) Sega Aero Table  Jaleco Table Pony  SNK Candy 26 (for the person who asked, this is where "candy cab" comes from, SNK used the word "candy" in the name of a few of their Japanese cabs, and western people rolled with it. I don't think Japanese people call them candy cabs)  e: flyboi posted:What up fam a package arrived from Japan These rule and were made for a bunch of systems, and are actually essential imo for PCE and Master System, as their original dpads are pretty poo poo. They were released in the US for both Master System (as SG Commander) and NES (as Shinsei Hyper Controller)
