I meant it in response to the part about PS2 and ESR. I know PS3s can be made to play some PS2 titles even if it's not a BC unit. I've never messed with it, but isn't the compatibility poor?

Custom config files. I grabbed an archive of them ages ago but there are probably more now.Quote:

Then you just patch images as masterdiscs before burn.
Or fat & HDD + OPL (or whatever). There are also hardmods to add HDD to slims now, people even sell slims that are pre-modded with HDD interface (or you can just buy the adapter and diy).
Well XSX and Sega GG arrived about a week ago.
Pulled the vinyl wrap off XSX and the serial sticker is still intact. HDMI port is pretty fucked up but I saw pics of it before I purchased. I can see some dust inside but it isn't really bad, just a little so it's to be expected.
Console is 2021 build date.
Sega GG has fucked up display... I swapped in a CleanJuice USB-C power board and it didn't make any difference so I'm pretty sure it's the MB caps. Backlight still works.
I've got a couple of cap kits here for VA0 & VA1 MB's but need to open this back up to check what MB revision it is, hopefully I already have what I need.
I see, thanks. I don't know of any Europe only releases I'd be interested in. FMCB + fat and OPL is I've been using. The only time I've had to go back to discs was for Ace Combat 5 which was buggy with OPL.Quote:

finished watching the 1st mission impossible series yesterday. it's a pretty good show but after season 2 the episodes start becoming too similar.
I'm planning on watching the incredible hulk series today or tomorrow.
How many seasons did MI last?

Maybe FF 16, but still eh.

Digital console is a waste of money (same with XSS).
PS5 disc version would have to be under $500aud new for me to even start thinking about it tbh.
If I got one free I'd give it away :booger:.
Don't play that SE trash :serious:.Quote:

Of course I don't pay attention to critics and rely more on word of mouth - that being said, a couple of the Discord guys really like it.
I'm going to get the PS5 with the disc drive when and if I get one. With sales tax in my area, even though the disc drive is $450 with the $50 off, the sales tax basically adds back the $50, after I did the sales tax, it went up to $491, so the $50 off kinda is pointless at least when buying in my area.Quote:

Good plan :wacko:.Quote:

Especially since the game is currently locked on a trash gud grafix machine, at this point good graphics are a detriment to my enjoyment IMO.Quote:

there really should have been a few more fps star wars games (not flight sims).
Oh for sure. Why I go by opinions of people on EP and not much else.Quote:

Games have lost their jrpg charm with 10/12.
I really liked 12 too(though I never beat it) I have been wanting to play 13 but I haven't got around to it last time I checked it seemed really big for a ps3 game and it has too many problems on pc.Quote:

PS5 eh, well the last game I beat was for Window 3.1. :wacko:
Should give it another go then, I recommend 12 HD on PC.Quote:

The original had level scaling if I remember correctly.
already have the retail disc for ps2 and a save file for it ;P
does the HD version offer anything the original doesn't(excluding HD)?
getting closer to beating dark forces. the levels are becoming more tedious.
started watching the incredible hulk. I'm a couple episodes in now it's not bad. I can't help but laugh every time I watch the opening thanks to family guy parodying it :lol
Not really. The license board is different (you can still choose the original though at start I think) And there's a few item location switches like the Zodiac spear is easier to get now. Pretty much the same game. Pretty sure enemy levels are fixed too.Quote:

this place never dies, cant believe you still live :bounce:

I should probably pick up a cheap PC speaker to get beep codes for future problems though.
