>STILL the GOATHow did they do it?
Kind of hard to be the GOAT with no games Especially vs the best console of all time, the Nintendo 64 :)
>>739862496I never liked how the PSOne looked. Something about it always bugged me. The original PlayStation looked way better
>>739862496No one ever actually owned this version of the PS1, but so many people owned the PS2 Slim. Explain.
>>739862496The n64 mogs it hard
>>739862496Roomba?
>>739862584Anon, the Sony console has ONE in the name, while the Nintendo console has 64(th place) in it.How are they comparable?
>>739862734ONE stands for ONE gameThe 64 stands for raping snoy in the ass 64 times
PS2 clears itSuper Nintendo clears itSwitch clears itXbox360 clears itPS1 is top 5
>>739862496The GOAT of slopware.
>>739862660PSOne released after the PS2. It was the budget option for the poor kids.PS2 Slim was a mid-gen refresh.
Mobile games before they were a thing
>>739862496Games.
>>739862835>Super Nintendo clears it>Switch clears it>Xbox360 clears itpfft
>>739862910thank you. next, can you generate a picture of the ps6
>>739863475Of course.
>>739862584Armored Core, Resident Evil, Powerslave. That's three really good games and not even an exhaustive list of the ones I can name.
>starts a thread about a console instead of the actual games on itFanboys are such insufferable faggots.
>>739862635I think the PSone looks really cool while the original Playstation is ugly. Love the 90s fish design.
>>739862660I owned one, two actually. Both times I already owned a PS2 and bought it because it looked cool.Anyways, the PS2 slim was released before the PS3, and the PS3 was absurdly expensive at launch, so it got widely adopted by even people who weren't desolately poor. The PSone was for people who couldn't afford a PS2 at launch or cheapskates who didn't want to pay next gen price, so you probably didn't know anybody who owned one, since cheapskates and brokies tend to be in separate cirlces from middle class normies. Or at least they were in 2000 when we still had a middle class.
>>739864401I like Armored Core. Its pretty fun. You have any favorites on the PS1?
>>739862910>>739862660I had a PSone
>>739862496>has no way to load games without CD traywaste of money
>>739865337Burning CDs is fun though.
>>739862660I have a PSone, it's my primary PS1 console too. My old fat one stopped reading CDs so I bought the slim off craigslist like 15 years ago. Still running burnt CDs with Tonyhax just fineI might buy another fat and xstation once this one dies though
>>739865301Don't let those anons get you down, the PSone is the coolest original Playstation model
>>739865301I still have mine. Shame it doesn't work anymore :(
>>739865398>Still running burnt CDs with Tonyhax just fineYou heard of FreePSXboot? Its way better than Tonyhax since you don't need a Tony Hawk disc, just a memory card.
>>739862496PSone dual-shock controller is by far the best 'feeling' controller I've ever usedIt's like it was made from distilled comfy.
>>739865441The laser dead? You can replace those, you know.
>>739865556Yeah, I actually use the version of FreePSXBoot that boots into TonyHax so you don't need a supported game. Vanillia FreePSXBoot comes with some outdated Unirom shit that doesn't have any anti-modchip support so some games like Dino Crisis need patches. https://alex-free.github.io/tonyhax-international/freepsxboot-exploit.html
>>739862496i miss mine so much
>>739865659I thought Unirom was newer than Tonyhax.
>>739865603Nah, when I turn it on there's no image for a few minutes and then there's a weird buzzing coming from the TV speakers.Maybe some capacitors are busted, IDK.
I owned one (refurbished by some dodgy gaming store selling pirated games)
>>739865723I'm not sure, but when I just used Freepsxboot and Unirom, I had to download anti-crack patches for certain games and also had compatibility issues with stuff like Crash Team Racing constantly getting stuck on infinite loading screens that didn't happen with Freepsxboot + Tonyhax using the same burnt CD.
>>739865757You tried replacing the cables?
>>739865841I lost the original cables long ago and bought cheap replacements. Could be something wrong with those.
>>739865797Some googling says that Unirom has built in video patching for PAL to NTSC conversion, so that's probably why its the standard.
>>739866089Is the power cable a PSone cable or a PS2 slim cable, because the PS2 slim cables fit but are not the right voltage. Could also be a bad video cable.
>>739864017I kneel gptGod
>>739862496money
>>739866148It says "for PlayStation 1" and it's 7.5V.The video cable just says "station" but it's heavily implied to be for PS2s. Are the video cables not interchangeable between the consoles?
>>739862496Not that third-worlder model.
I love the ads they had for this thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STPGOV9NYvg
>>739866515The video cables should be interchangeable, but I find that the cheapo video cables are pieces of shit and break real easy. Is this a composite or component cable?
>>739866753Composite.
>>739865757PsOnes are due for recaps and it tends to restore them to excellent working condition. Those things are incredibly well built. I've recapped a handful that went from dead with no output or activity to being the best working playstations I have.
>>739866867nta, but how hard is recapping for someone who's never soldered before?
>>739862660I remember it was flimsier than the original one too
>>739866970>never soldered beforeGet practice and you're going to need tools. I'd recommend a ts101 iron, treela 8341 flux, Kester 24-6337-0027 solder and TOWOT solder wick.Cap kits are around $10 after shipping from console5.The caps are all surface mount which aren't the easiest for newbies, you have to be precise and careful especially on psones which do have cramped regions.
>>739862496whoops, wrong picture
>>739862584
why didn't this scare uncs?
>>739867159like this?
>>739867079What do you practice on? Ewaste? Specialized soldering kits?
>>739866867Yeah, I was kinda suspecting that was the case, but I never messed with soldering and don't trust anyone in my area.Guess I'll just be putting this project back on hold. Thank God for emulation.BTW, thanks for your time >>739866753
>>739867280Practice on anything, this way you can understand how different boards react to how you apply heat, how you hold the iron and apply flux. You want to be able to look at all kinds of scenarios in soldering and know how to approach it, how to fix fuck ups (torn pads/damaged traces happen all the time on 20+ year old consoles with leaky caps) and how to best solder to all kinds of contacts and vias.>>739867378Whatever you do, don't give up on it and throw it out. There's a working PS1 in there just waiting to be fixed.
>>739867594>Whatever you do, don't give up on it and throw it out.Rest assured, I won't. Thanks for the help.
just dump a ton of flux on the board, get your iron to 400+C, and wave it around like a retard, youll be fine
>>739862660>No one ever actually owned this versionMy original version crapped out and the PS one model was the only new model available in stores once it came out. This was like in 2000 by the way
>>739867594Any resources you'd recommend for further learning on the subject, like youtube channels or helpful sites?
>>739864017i'm not the same guy as the one who asked thoughbeit
>>739868065yubtub:>tronicsfix>jan beta>adrian black
>>739868338thanks
>>739867120How many years now has a singular autistic retard been trying to force that the Saturn was even in the competition?It's like going>Who won, the SNES or Genesis?>The Turbografx 16 fucking mogs, bitch
>>739868625The Turbografx 16 was really cool though.
>>739868625NTA, but the N64 also "wasn't even in the competition" outside the US. Hell, Japan's war was PS1 vs Saturn.
>>739868065Old voultar vids, but otherwise just practice because it's like teaching someone how to paint. You pick up the brush and get started, same with the iron. Get practice, it's not as hard as you think it is but there is technique.
>>739862660You're full of shit. I had this exact model thinking it was the original and never realizing there was another variant that came before it until several years later, I have NEVER seen the original Playstation in person, only in pictures or videos.
>>739868905Pretty much the same. All my friends that had a Playstation had that version. I didn't know about the original version until many years later I saw it on the internet.
>>739868905This
>>739869742>god tier library>shitty laser>discs can scatch easilysuch a shame
>>739870041>tenchu 2 but no tenchu 1What the fuck?
>>739862496Best system of its generation simply because of its library.>>739868625Saturn has a better library than the n64.
>>739868756nta but yeah it's kino, especially some of the CD games.
Which model number did you have anons?I had a SCPH-1002And currently have a mod chipped SCPH-5502Did you ever have one of those cheat devices that connected to the paralIer I/O port?

>>739862584I've met a lot of people who think the N64 has a better library than the PS1 and I'm not sure how a human being gets THAT nostalgia driven and braindead
>>739870041Good list, but for neglecting to include MediEvil 2 I will have to reprimand you
