Title: Already have a PS1, thinking about playing it
Post by: jtucci31 on January 28, 2016, 05:09:07 AM: Should I?

Maybe.

This seems like possibly a good idea. Most likely.....

Seconded. Surprised but glad you didn't say Einhander or something.

Post by: Jibbajaba on January 28, 2016, 05:10:48 PM: No. You should collect games for it, but only play ISOs via emulation. So that you don't wear out your discs.

This is how I am with all my video games...

Post by: DragonmasterDan on January 31, 2016, 07:14:46 PM: There's a lot of good PSone games.

However, there's only a small handful of great ones that are exclusive to the platform and since so many of the PSone games are early polygonal if not all-out 3D games, a lot of the library hasn't aged well. With that said Klonoa, Crash Bandicoot, a wide variety of shmups, JRPGs and the handful of 2D games that made it to the market are mostly worth playing.

While time doesn't look back on the PSone as fondly as it does the Saturn due to the greater emphasis on 3D, don't let that deter you from playing the quality titles that are on it.

BTW the best game on the platform is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Post by: ClodBuster on February 01, 2016, 05:21:34 AM: Haha, that silly myth about early PS1 consoles being high end CD players. When in the end it doesn't really matter. Audiophiles believe in any bullshit.
Still, that one looks funny.

List it on eBay as "NEW Playstaysion Silver 85+ NEW Mint R@R3 L@@K MAGICAL CHASE LITTLE SAMSON"

Profit to the tune of $1,000,000,000,000.

Post by: technozombie on February 03, 2016, 09:47:47 AM: Emulation can actually make up for some of outdated 3d of the PSOne.
Title: Re: Already have a PS1, thinking about playing it
Post by: SamIAm on February 03, 2016, 12:03:17 PM: Have you kept up on the state of PS1 emulation? How is it compared to, say, 10 years ago? Has it reached the point where 99% of the library plays OK 99% of the time? Back when I emulated PS1 games in college, I think most games would start, but glitches were a matter for the course.

A lot of it, honestly.

I don't use emulation too much, usually just to try something out for a few minutes. I've always had good luck though, even when doing it on my phone.

Many glitches have been ironed out years ago. I stopped emulating 5 years ago, so I can only imagine it only got better.
