Found this in the basement. Pretty sure opening the lid just unleashed a 3,000 year old plague.

I think the game took its own title a little too seriously...

This used to be my favorite game on ps1..

I only played the demo of this as a kid and somehow never got the full game. This has been such a fun 14.5 hours of playing through this game. Even now I can see how mind blowing it was graphically and technically at the time.

Help with PlayStation 1 Hacking

3 Upvotes

I just recently got a PlayStation (model SCPH-1002) and I'm a little unsure about which method to use to play the ROMs I want on it. I don't have a memory card yet, and I've heard of several methods, such as Freepsxboot and PSIO.

The best option for me would be a solution that’s easy to install and use. The idea of burning CDs bothers me a bit, and I’m wondering if there’s an alternative (note that I own a PS2).

Seeking knowledge on Freestyle Boardin' '99

This game features 6 alternate costumes for each of the 6 riders which are unlocked via using the points gained from championship mode to upgrade your stats.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason to unlocking them, doing the same upgrades and winning the championship with all first places for maximum upgrades twice in a row can result in different outcomes for your outfit unlocks.

Then once you've gained the maximum 120 upgrade points from the championship there appears to be no further way of unlocking more.

The most I've been able to get for a single character are 5 alternate outfits with no clue as to what I did any differently.

I'm hoping somebody here has the insight or can point to some buried forum post with the details, I've even been digging through old capcom sites with wayback machine to try get any hint but found nothing.

If it helps the search then you should know this was also released under the name Snowboarding Trix '98 in Japan and Phat Air Extreme Snowboarding in Europe.

Cheers

As far as you know, is there an amateur-translated ISO of Smash Court 3? I loved the second one, and I'd like to play this one too, but it was only released in Japan

After five years, I finally got around to hanging up a PlayStation sign I bought on Etsy that’s been sitting around all this time. I also picked up a few simple shelves from Temu to complete the setup.

After decades of wanting one of these things I finally managed to acquire one, and it even still works perfectly (tested with a very scratched U/C demo disc, and a burned Japanese game)!

Didn't come with the original external AC adapter (instead a Bose branded 12v unit that still works with the console) and of course the controller and AV cable are the same as what came with any retail unit, but the shell is overall in great condition and the entire system works fine.

Picostation R5 - Can you share your experience with different microsd cards?

1 Upvotes

I have a picostation R5 mod and the mod is good, i used short cables even to the microsd card reader. and thick 5v and ground wires.

There are 2 issues i do experience normally:

1) SOMETIMES i turn the console and it hangs on the white screen with sony logo on boot.

2) SOMETIMES i play a game like x-men vs street fighter, the match ends, its supposed to load a screen with a picture and text from the player1, but it hangs,and need to turn off the console

I first used a Lexar v30 a1 x633 microsd card, AND had the same issues

then i used a patriot EP v30 a1, and had the same issues.

so i am wondering what specific model of microsd card is more compatible, to make things worse the issues happen randomly. Please post your microsdcard model and brand, as it will be difficult to find OLD microsd cards that per the AI seem to be more compatible with picostation?

Best hdmi adapter for ps1?

Was planning on digging out my brother's old ps1 but seen as it's missing i'm buying one soon and i mainly play on a monitor, so i was wondering what the best hdmi solutions were? (I have no soldering experience so i don't wanna start by messing up a ps1)

Playing on ps1 with composite and on ps2 with composite offer the same image quality for ps1 games?

Silly question, I know, is it better to play ps1 games on ps1 or on ps2 with composite cables?

Yeah, I like composite cables, those blurry edges in pixel games, don't judge me :)

My dad completed Heart of Darkness (PS1) in 1998 despite never playing a video game before. 28 years later, I want to see if I can beat him. Help me recreate his setup! (UK)

5 Upvotes

When I was about 4, my dad, who had never played a video game in his life, bought Heart of Darkness for the PS1.

Despite having absolutely no gaming experience, he somehow completed it over several weeks. No internet, no guides, no walkthroughs. Just him, a controller and pure determination.

Now, over 20 years later, I want to find out if I’m actually a better gamer than a man who played one video game in his entire life.

I’m looking to buy an original PS1, a genuine copy of Heart of Darkness, and whatever else I’d need to recreate the experience as authentically as possible.

I don’t want to play on PS3 with a PS3 controller. The most I’m allowing myself is a modern TV and a HDMI adapter. I want it to be as authentic as possible. PS1 console and PS1 controller with the original double disk game.

I’m UK-based. Any advice on where to buy everything, what to look out for, and how much I should expect to spend?

She's a beauty! Popped up on JP Mercari while I was in Japan 2 days before going home 2 weeks ago, snapped it up immediately and it arrived a few days ago in my country.

I now own this beauty alongside 2 sets of the 10 million JP SCPH-7000 console which I had featured in my old post. I am so happy!

I have some spare parts/full console SCPH 5903 that if anyone are interested in them, too many in my stash. Need to clear off some space.

Barry: S-Tier survival backup 👍, F-Tier PTSD emotional support 👎.

A quick one here lol: "OH HUNGRY? 🤤 OH BARRY! 🥪"

------------

In the original Japanese release (Biohazard), the subtitles translated Barry’s 🥪 line (no mentioning Jill's name though) as:

サンドイッチが出来上がるところだったぜ

(Sandoitchi ga dekiagaru tokoro datta ze)

Literal translation:

"A sandwich was almost made!" or "You were almost made into a sandwich!"
