It was a cheap port from the PSP so it's probably just of dubious quality. Looking at this video here the text..does look bad, yeah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66DenUN2bt0

I am down to the wire here on needing the USA completed save files for Goldeneye and Smash Bros for my Everdrive 64 X7. I've downloaded them from 10 different websites, none of them worked. I've used stupid "byte swap" programs that supposedly convert Project64 saves to Everdrive saves to no avail. If someone here happens to have, on their Everdrive 64 X7 flashcart, save files for both games that have everything unlocked for the US versions of the games, I'll paypal you $20 for them. Not ones you just googled and downloaded; I've done that already and they don't work. Only ones on your flashcart that you know are working. I am ready to throw this goddamn flash cart out a window. I've never had so many issues with saves before in my life.Vikar Jerome posted:Anyone know if the text on silent hill origins for ps2 meant to messed up and kinda hard to read or is my scaler just loving me around?

If you think that's bad, try having played Dead Rising on the 360 back in 2006 on a CRT (when HDTVs were still uncommon) and it was impossible to read anything, and Capcom told everyone who complained to go piss up a rope and they weren't going to fix it https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2006/09/5264/

Yes, but don’t do this. The same clones are on amazon and eBay and in your country ready to ship fast. As the OP mentioned, the original dev went off the deep end, so the clones are your best bet these days

Replay value increases because of the number of cool cheats in GoldenEye that hasn't been seen in many other video games. Extra characters Enter the multiplayer mode character selection screen and display the last available character (Mishkin or Moonraker Elite). Then, press the following controller combinations: Hold L + R and press C-Left. Hold L and press C-Up. Hold L + R and press Left. Hold L and press Right. Hold R and press Down. Hold L + R and press C-Left. Hold L and press C-Up. Hold L + R and press Right. Hold L + R and press C-Down. Hold L and press Down. An additional thirty-one characters will now be selectable. Note these work a little funny. To unlock Aztec you have to have unlocked Cradle at last on "secret agent", and to unlock Egypt you'll need to unlock all the others on ""00 agent" difficulty. Unlock Aztec: R, c down R, + left L, + right L, R, c right L, + down L, R, c up L, + left L, R, c up L, R, + right L, c left Unlock Egypt: L, R, + up L, R, c right L, + down R, + right R, + up L, + down L, + left L, c right L, R, c right L, + left UNLOCK GOLDENEYE LEVELS - 007 GOLDENEYE CHEATS The fantastic part of GoldenEye N64 is the fantastic levels.

One would be silent, the other one or two would be noise makers. Didn't realize that fan was so quiet, it seems kinda spendy when I last looked, but don't remember exact number.

Does that Noctua fan need a shroud, and if so, is there a recommended source for that? I guess if I’m cracking it open to install a GDEMU, might as well go ahead and upgrade the fan at the same time.

If I want to go back and play the PS2 Megaten games, should I buy a PS2 and the physical copies, or should I get a PS3 and purchase the games via digital download? For the former there is the fact that it could be argued to be the "authentic" way to play it. However, it won't be upscaled to HD to look nicer. But on the other hand I do have a PVM to play retro consoles on, so retro games look nice without being HD.

There are some weird quirks with the games on PS3, like I think the DDS games run at like 80% speed or something? And I've noticed some odd graphical things with Persona 4. I think playing on original hardware might be the way to go with SMT on PS2.

my experience with backwards compatible ps3s are "this thing will absolutely loving die" so i'd go ps2 (or hold out for the ps5 announcement and see if the "it's backwards compatible with everything" rumor is true)

punk rebel ecks posted:Should I buy an original PS2 or a PS3 with backwards compatibility? Fwiw the PS3s that don't have the BC chips in them (all of the slims and super slims) can run the PSN downloaded PS2 Classics, and they don't have the hardware failure issues. The emulation is a little off but honestly not something you're likely to notice if you aren't super aware to how they originally ran. For example I played through all of Personal 4 that way after losing track of my disc and didn't notice anything amiss. All of the US SMT games save for Devil Summoner 1 and 2 are available to download IIRC. If you do care about that though, PS2s are dirt cheap and all of the US-released Megaten games are still moderately easy to get ahold of. Edit: oh poo poo, if you have a PVM then the PS2 route is a no brainer.

Is it possible for N64 games to just die? I have two N64s, so I tested it on both. Was playing WWF No Mercy just fine. Then I put in the original Smash Bros and nothing happens when I power it up. Then put in WWF No Mercy again and it did the same thing. Put in a few other games and no other problems. But Smash and No Mercy just do not work. What gives?
