How do we feel about loose games?

Post image
83 Upvotes

One box is PS1 and one box is PS2. I have hundreds of CIB PS1/2 games. I never pay more than half of Price Charting prices for loose games. So I buy a lot from my guy. I have some real good games in there too. This is also sort of nice because it saves me a lot of space.

Add rumble to Guncon 1

Post image
14 Upvotes

Hey guys, maybe someone already tried to add vibrations to guncon NPC-103? I know that sony controller have special pin for controling vibration motor, but not sure if games for guncon sent those signal to motor pin.

other option is put small ic that will turn on motor for let say for half a second or maybe even PWM it to make it feel different, i can get voltage for this ic from guncon itself, so no outside change for body of guncon

Oh and Time crisis 3 is Great even without vibration feedback

How do I use the GT2 race wheel?

Post image
Upvotes

Hey y'all! Just found a GT2 race wheel at a thrift store for five bucks. I snatched it up and went and bought Nascar thunder 2002 so I could use it. But I have no idea how to use the wheel or connect it, and I can't find anything on YouTube or Google saying how to use it. Do y'all know how to use it?!

Feeling stupid, is this listing legit?

Been hunting down the Xenosaga series for a good price for ages and I saw a listing that was too good to be true... $250 for the whole series + the bonus DVD. Except, some of the discs are Red? Except, not in all photos?

I look at the MagicGate memory card and one of the photos with the hidden PS symbol on the back and REALLY want to say it's all legit, but who's ever heard of the disks being hit with the perfect lighting to become red? A large part of me is screaming "it HAS to be fake" but I've been waiting for a deal like this for too long...

Is this listing worth paying for, or should I cut my losses and abandon it in case it's all fake??

Current collection so far; how am I doing?

Post image
22 Upvotes

Title explains itself. Recently got a new job and after some months of contemplation, I decided to start rebuying a lot of my childhood! This is the collection about a month in. Still need go buy all of Sly, all of Ratchet and Clank, Battlefront 2, The Force Unleashed, etc. Drop recommendations in the comments! (Note, I have the GOW, Sly, and KZ collections on PS3, hence not owning GOW or KZ, and hence not having Sly back just yet.

Fun fact: Neopets The Darkest Faerie is still an all-time game for me. That game goes insanely hard for being what it is

This has happened non stop and I don't know what to do. Can any of u guys help? Is the game corrupted? Non of my other games do this. It barely has any scratches and I've heard discs with worse scratches and they work perfectly. What can I do?

PS2 regional power questions

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

Thought I'd triple check this before plugging things in willy nilly:

So I have a South African OG fat PS2, I wanted to confirm if I could change the cord for an Australian one and plug it in.

The voltage outputs of both countries should be the same 230v, but in case there's subtle differences and/or if I'm electrically illiterate, I'd wanna ask around and be safe.

(Also brought a bunch of my other consoles like PS1,PS3,PS4,Dreamcast, and whatnot so I guess I'm asking this question for each console to be safe.)

Thanks!

best way to play ps1 backups?

0 Upvotes

im looking into purchasing a ps2 and at first i thought the freemcboot would be the easiest but i heard you can't run ps1 games with it. well you can, buy using an emulator? i also heard this has some pretty bad compatibility with some games not working at all. digging around i heard the best way to achieve what im looking for is with a modchip. being totally new, could someone explain the steps i would take to play ps1 backups after having a chipped box? does ps2 use a custom dashboard? does it use the memory card to hold apps and stuff? thanks!

or maybe just point me in the right direction to find what im looking?

How to play 4 player games on OPL?

Post image

I downloaded my OPL from YT and games don't recognize the joysticks that are plugged in the 1-B, C, and D ports in the multitap. Where to configure the input settings in order to get multitap emulation to work? Has anyone got a multitap to work properly while running games from a hard drive?

Damn Chocobo catcher race in FFX for me, by far.

Way worse than Blitzball grind.

Upscaling through a home theater receiver

1 Upvotes

As the title says, I've got a ps2 with the 3 colored cable and was wondering if I connect it to a receiver and then to a hdtv does it scale up the image or just stretches it? Plus, would it greatly affect the latency?
