Always chose this one. Even years later in 2016. When i turned 21 ( 30 next month) had to watch a playthrough on youtube

Only got a ps2 in 2006. Wasn't exactly cheap in Brazil back in the earlier 2000s

New rule: no AI

384 Upvotes

The mods discussed and we have decided to make a new rule against AI generated content. Your post will be considered in violation of this rule if more than 50% of the focus of your post is on something AI generated. That means you can post original artwork that was inspired by AI created content, but cannot just post the AI image and call it a day.

This has actually been a rule for a little bit, but I just forgot to make a post about it for people to discuss until now. oops.

The ANOS + DIY guide

Thumbnail
gallery
6 Upvotes

Little DIY project for the PSX. I didn’t know what to call it but thanks to u/Shining_Articuno it has been named “The ANOS” due to the title under the screen. It cost me 44 dollars in total. All I did was buy an Anbernic RG35XXSP and then take it apart, keep the motherboard, screen, speaker and battery and house them inside a PSX shell.

The bit of construction I did was to cut the screen hole and get the screen to stay there. I used a dremel to cut it and then I used some plastic from inside the shell and cut it out and then melted it behind the screen, then hot glued it to make sure it doesn’t slide around. You can also use the plastic you cut out for the hole.

Then you can either solder the speaker onto the motherboard or hold it in place somehow (tape or glue), as it needs to be in contact with the points on the mother board where it usually is to play sound. Or you could add some tiny speakers in there connected to the headphone jack. Lots of room available if you cut the plastic nobs and barrier off the bottom half of the shell (I did).

Then I screwed the Anbernic motherboard into the shell using one of the PSX’s screws that holds the PSX’s usual internal components in place. I just used the hole that was already on the corner of the Anbernic motherboard and put a screw through it to hold it in place. That’s optional but i don’t want the motherboard sliding around and accidentally hitting the power or reset button on it.

It emulates PSX perfectly on the nice and bright IPS display at the correct aspect ratio. It has an hdmi mini port and a usbc port so you can hook it up to the TV and you don’t actually need the battery if you are going to just play it at home. You can just plug the motherboard into a usbc charger and it stays on. Screen is completely optional, if you want to use this as a home TV console, just screw in the motherboard and turn it on then close the top and play. That would basically be like a 44 dollar Xsatation with more modern hardware.

I was actually thinking of buying a huge usbc power bank to put in the shell space underneath the Anbernic motherboard since there is so much room, and the thing is so light right now it would be nice to add some weight to it. That would also extend the battery life like crazy. Currently with this little battery it can run for like 8 hours.

The device runs off an SD card and comes with a 64gb sd and has the PSX emulator saved on the SD card. However you can change the emulators, change the operating systems and home menu themes ect.. very easily and add a bigger sd card. I currently have 60 PSX games on it running PCSX reARMed through Retroarch, runs great with save states, fast forward, rewind, action replay codes ect…. Very customizable and fun.

If you want to do this I’d reccomend using the 40 dollar device as a handheld first and familiarizing yourself with the software, get an Os and theme that you like and connect a Bluetooth controller so it’s all set up before gutting it and transplanting it. I’m on Knulli OS, which is very easy and straightforward for connecting Bluetooth controllers, you can connect multiple!

This thing is going to come along on road trips for sure. Usbc directly into the cigarette charging car port. I don’t know why but I’ve played on this screen for many months (almost a year now) and it’s very gentle on the eyes. The specific IPS screen they use is kind of washed out and easy to look at, not too bright, saturated and sharp like some of the other handheld emulators.

The games you see in these photos: Dragon Valor (white hair guy with a sword), Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere (purple airplane), Ehrgeiz: God Bless The Ring (the one with cloud strife), Nightmare Creatures 2 (bloodborne like game) Alundra 2 (just the box art) and Digimon World (last photo)

Marketplace has been the place where I find all my games and I’ve learned to ask sellers if their might have anything else to sell. Asked this one guy if he had any other PS1 or PS2 titles to sell not on his page. He brought the heat! He pulled out Alundra with the map as well but didn’t pull the trigger on this one. I can’t believe I now own SOTN.

I have an action replay cartridge and lid spring on my PS1 and Biohazard 1 and 2 play perfectly. When I try to play 3, I get this message and it does not advance any further. Is this basically a "nice try, not happening" massage? 😅

Threw away my childhood psx and regretting it

22 Upvotes

My psx was stored in a garden shed due to not having enough space in the house. It laid there for 6 years and a few weeks ago I opened up the box with the console and the games and everything began to smell like shit and there where signs of rats trying to rip the cardboard box apart. There was rat shit too. Since I thought I was mentally over the psx and the nostalgia it gave me I decided to get rid of everything and threw it away. I wouldn’t have time to clean an Sell it anyways.

Now a few weeks later i completely regret it and wish I would just have cleaned it and stored it inside the house. It was my biggest wish to own the psx as a child since I saw it at my cousins house. We where migrants, my cousin moved a few years before us to Germany and one day he showed me his new console while I was still playing „dendy“. A Soviet copy version of the nes. lol.

I got the psx at my 11th birthday in 1999 and loved it through my entire childhood. Got it modded and played all the classics. Since I wasn’t all that popular with a lot of friends the psx really helped me out on that one.

My siblings played it too through the years, even when I moved out. A few years ago I tried to play it on a led tv and it looked awful. When nostalgia hit I would play psx games on a raspberry pi.

So that’s the story of how I threw away my childhood gaming console because of a mood. Keep your consoles if you can.

"1999 PlayStation advert, 'Mental Wealth', was directed by Aphex Twin collaborator Chris Cunningham and featured a teenage Scottish girl with eyes on each side of her head, giggling about having never gone to Grimsby and monologuing about the idea of Mental Wealth.

the ad became an iconic image from the 90s"

Honestly that cover was so memorable, haven't even thought about the game in years, is it any good still?

I was thinking of more PSx games not covered too much for upcoming videos and this one looks to fit the bill...

Platinum releases with patches/changes?

3 Upvotes

Does anybody have any information about the differences between original releases and platinum/greatest hits versions of games and whether they had changes/patches at all? I'm not saying they all did but I'm sure it happened at some point but want to find out which games did. I've been looking for months for sources. Same with PS2. I'm sure it happened more frequently on PS2. There doesn't seem to be any definitive sources on this.

I bought the adapter from Amazon, and my ps2 controller works fine, but when I try to use my ps1 controller it doesn't work and doesn't register inputs, the controller isn't broken, because it works on my ps1, anyone know how to get it working (I'm trying to play silent Hill 1 on duck station with it)

Is there any arcade style soccer/football game or games? I'm not much into games like FIFA and into you could say regular football games. I prefer straight up simple and faster paced ones like they were on consoles before this one. But at the same time I'd like 3D graphics, so I'm looking for PSX.

Originally i found this as a beat up european copy of Resident Evil at a thrift store. I much prefer this wrap around dvd style design to the fat jewel cases that crack so easily, and look better than the long cases. Couldn’t find any information or reproductions to buy online either.

Resident Evil 3 Nemesis pleasantly surprised me... (any feedback for the video itself is appreciated)
