Rule 3 is changing: r/psx is Not the Place to Advertise Your Indie Games

185 Upvotes

tl;dr the fine print of Rule 3 has been adjusted to explicitly forbid modern indie games unless playable on original hardware (homebrew)

It's my own fault that this change has to be made, I allowed a few "psx-inspired" indie game posts to remain up despite breaking the rules because of the large amount of upvotes they received.

I'd post and sticky comments like "It's off topic but y'all like it so I'll leave it up". My approach to moderation has always been to let the community make content decisions when appropriate. Unfortunately adjustments need to be made to protect the subject matter of this community.

Due to the massive influx of shovelware indie games that are "psx inspired" getting posted here, I'm sorry to say that Rule 3 will have to be more strictly enforced.

From this point forward, for indie games to be posted here they will have to be playable on PSX hardware or an emulator. Games that run on real hardware fall firmly into the category of homebrew, which is perfectly appropriate to discuss here. Games that run in PSX emulators but not real hardware are also allowed. "Retro Inspired" or "PSX Inspired" games that do not fulfill either of those 2 requirements will be removed and the poster will get a 24 hour ban.

The ban is meant to be informative to the poster, not punitive. However repeat offenders will be permanently banned.

Here is a friendly flowchart to help you decide whether or not it's appropriate to post your indie game in this community:

Thank you for reading and thank you for posting. Best of luck in all your indie dev adventures.

Just setup a CRT Entertainment center. First time playing on a CRT in 20 years

Anyone go from Modern display to CRT recently? While yes I do agree CRT makes it look better, But do you think it is justified to buy a whole CRT for the experience?

I was playing on a 75" LG 4K 120hz TV before this weekend.

I was just using a cheap amazon HDMI adapter as I didn't care about making games look amazing because I also have the PC option. I know you can buy really nice adapters/upscalers as well.

Recently my buddy said he is moving and he didn't want to take his 27" CRT TV. Me having a good sized house decided to setup a CRT Station, not just for Playstation, but for older devices like a VCR as well for pure Nostalgia. Friday Night I bought a VCR and a ton of VHS tapes. I got the TV for free, bought a stand yesterday, and then also got a nice Stereo CD/Tape Player.

What are your thoughts on Playstation on CRT vs HD TV's? Obviously its better, but is it justified having a whole station dedicated to CRT Gaming?

I think I got the perfect setup in two days lol

Does anyone know where I can buy a Mayumi V4 modchip?

Preferably with a breakout board and UK delivery.

I'm aware of softmods and what not but I don't want to dedicate a memory card to it nor do I own any games for the required exploits.

Missed Opportunity

Post image
69 Upvotes

Was at the game store in a local mall today and a gentleman had walked into a game store with a DSi and PSOne LCD Combo both sealed in box. He ended up walking out because the owner was busy and would need to hold the consoles for review for a couple days, but I'm not even sure the owner actually realized these were sealed. Walked out at the same time as the gentleman and took a chance, but was also very honest with him that maybe he'd get more. I was really just trying to test the waters and see how desperate he was to sell. He was probably in his late 40's early 50's. He said he's had the PSOne for years but already had another at the time and that it just sat in the closet. This box was MINT. I told him I'd give 300-400 no questions asked, but I recommended that maybe he do eBay or even let the store review and see what they'd offer. He was cool and asked for my number so maybe a deal could still happen, but I doubt it. I'm not a flipper so I'm not looking to pay higher prices with a hope of flipping for even higher. The childhood nostalgia made me consider 500, I think he would've taken it all day. I know they go for quite a bit in my area. The picture above is a generic Google image. This box was even better than that, it looked like a time capsule. I've been focusing mainly on PS2/OG Xbox and PS3/360 the past couple years, but I think this reignited a fire to grab a PS1 and do some 5th Gen gaming, it's been a long time. He did end up bringing it back to the store to leave it with them to get an offer. The owner was knowledgeable enough to realize that he has options and knows the wide range it could go for, but you're definitely not getting those higher prices unless it's graded.

TLDR: Missed a good opportunity on snagging a sealed in box PSOne LCD Combo, but the interaction reignited my interest in PS1.

made a drag and drop .vag converter, might be useful for homebrew people

2 Upvotes

wrote this mostly for music stuff but figured some of you might use it. it’s a frontend for psxavenc that does the annoying prep for you: mono, resampling, and lining loops up with the 28 sample adpcm blocks so the loop flag lands where it should. it also decodes vags back to wav so you can hear what the spu will actually play, and tells you how much of the 512kb sound ram your batch eats

windows exe, cli works anywhere psxavenc does. source here https://github.com/satifiedx/PSX-auto

feedback welcome, especially if someone actually puts these in a game :)

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

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.

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

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).
