/vg/ - Actual Vidya Games

Well interesting. I will ask some questions but first I need to go take a cold shower cause of those feet.

>>82910

You should check out this thread then.

>>82912

Be right back. Taking a laptop into a bathtub filled with ice

Do all these newer systems use installs/unpacks for games? I really do prefer the "drag-n-drop" nature of older systems that support proper ROMs/disc images.

>>82916

3ds requires installing the .cia file you put in your sd card. The PS3 requires installing pkg and rap files and you have to split the games up because of fat32s file size limit. Simply put its not like buying a flash cart and dragging and dropping, but it isnt too much of a hassle either. PS3 is the most time consuming.

>>82947

PS3 can run unmodified ISOs if you use Rebug CFW (maybe other CFWs also)

>>82916

Wii can run ROMs, WiiU needs an install AFAIK. PS4 needs installed PKGs.

Vita/PSTV needs installed PKGs but I think it can run ROMs also.

>>82961

>Vita/PSTV needs installed PKGs but I think it can run ROMs also.

Probably only for PSP and PS1 games?

>>82962

Probably. But the sweet thing with the Vita (and now that the 3DS lost its freeshop its the only one) you can pirate games directly from the Sony server and its all fucking seamless.

>>82947

>.cia file

To this day I keep giggling about that.

>PS3 is the most time consuming.

It figures. How bad is PS4 if it is even worth it?

>>82978

Not bad at all but you need one on 5.05. Set up the DNS blocking and go to the User Guide, that's it.

Um what. Did some posts get deleted?

Was OP a (1) and done nigger?

>>83984

No I'm still here, chill out fag. I'd answer any questions that I know about. I do own a Shita but I don't do n64 emulation on it so if that was you then iunno. N64 is best played on a WiiU/Wii using Virtual Console injects in my experience.

>>84088

I never was much a fan of Nintendo so wouldn't know. If it was worth getting into though would that be the way to go?

>>84180

/hbg/ on the other site is heavily a Nintendo general, and most of us there own at least 1 Nintendo console. They are usually the easiest to hack and easiest to get games for.

Reminder that if you have a fat PS2 its easier than ever to install freemcboot. There is even a network adapter made by chinks you can grab for ~13 bucks that will allow you to use a SATA HDD.

>>84217

OP here, I'd recommend a PS3 for PS2 piracy, it's far less hassle and far more comfy and in line with modern expectations in terms of hacking and tooling. PS2 homebrew is clunky and flaky as fuck.

>>84487

>clunky and flaky

What do you mean? It's just as smooth as the original PS2 menu and adding applications to it is a s easy as entering a USB stick and navigating a menu. PS2 homebrew is also good because when somethign breaks it is easily fixable because it's not all tied to 1 piece of hardware. Also, aren't there loads of innaccuracies on the PS3's PS2 emulation? Unless oyu have an orignal release PS3 I don't think it wil be as good as the PS2. I'd agree that PS games are better to use on the PS3 if you can deal with the 480i upscaling because PS1 hardware methods are a hassle and methods without a freemcboot memorycard are harmful for your PS2 and the PS2's PS1 emulation is awful.

>>84528

1. the only optimal way to actually play ISOs is using a HDD + PS2 Net adapter (required to connect the HDD), this means you can't just quickly copy a game to the HDD because it's some fat-ass 3.5" monster drive which it's hard to get enclosures for, plus it needs its OWN FUCKING POWER SOURCE.

2. Managing/deleting/copying games over FTP is a fucking nightmare

3. No, the homebrew is not just as smooth as the original PS2 menu, have you actually used this garbage?

4. It's easy to fuck up the FMCB by accident and kill your homebrew entrypoint, this is less easy with modern homebrew like the PS3.

5. PS3 upscales PS2 ISOs to HD, looks fantastic.

Yes some games don't work but there aren't many like that. Most just werk

Can hardly play most of the PS2-games via the emulation.

Is PSP 6.61 hackable?

<1. All that bullshit

I didn't buy an enclosure for the HDD. Just a basic USB3.0 adapter to plug it into my PC to transfer all my games at once. Worked fine and fast. $10. Yes the adapter has its own power source, so?

>2. Managing/deleting/copying games over FTP is a fucking nightmare

It's just slow, you fucking drama queen.

>3. No, the homebrew is not just as smooth as the original PS2 menu, have you actually used this garbage?

I have a modded PHAT with an HDD. It works fine.

>4. It's easy to fuck up the FMCB by accident

Are you saying this from personal experience? You seem like the kind of retard that would try to mod a console 15+ years ago, fuck it up and then hold that negative opinion for the rest of your life.

>>85397

C O P E

And yes personal experience you retard, how else would I know all the pain points. BTW I didn't fuck up the FMCB, just said that's its easy to do so and it is.

>>85479

>yes personal experience you retard

That's hilarious.

>>85489

Why? I realised it was a crap experience and gave the PS2 back to my vro who I borrowed it from, and got my PS3 hacked and use that now. Its way better for PS2 imo. Webman is amazing for playing ISOs.

>>85496

Real hardware will always be better than emulation, but sounds to me like you just didnt want to do the work. personally i think the PS3 is better for ps1 games than ps2 in that regard. But like i said if you want to use a crt a ps3 is out of the question.

>>85554

>if you want to use a crt a ps3 is out of the question

What? It has the same output port as the PS1/PS2.

>>86567

Interlaced video looks horrid on CRTs

>>82909

I want to buy a PS4 and homebrew it, however, I keep reading about PS3 being better. Will PS4 be enough to pirate PS2 ISO's? Also, after homebrewing it I'm assuming I will not be able to play online anymore, but can I at least play the new games being released?

Can I also use the PS4 to play PS3 ISO's?

>>87355

The PS4 doesn't have shit for backwards compatibility. If you want PS2 and PS3, get a PS3. If you're looking to do a lot of PS2 stuff, get a fat PS2. One thing to say about PS2 hacking is that everyone talks about Free MC Boot, but there's a variant that you can put right on the HDD instead of the memory card.

>>87376

Yeah the HDD variant is a good option. You can even install freemcboot from the HDD version onto a memory card and essentially have both options available to you.

>>87355

The PS3 is a solid option for an all around homebrew. I prefer original hardware, and I have been arguing about freemcboot ITT, but it is the best option in terms of practicality and easier on your wallet if you don't have the consoles or parts you need. One thing about buying a PS3 if you need to make sure you get a combatible model so make absolute sure you are getting the right one.

>>87355

Yes

No

No

>500 GB to 700 GB HDD

But I thought the PS2 would only detect and use 137 gigs.

>>87559

I haven't seen anything on that. That could possibly be if you used it as intended for things like SOCOM 2 map packs or FFXI, but i never did. Using it with custom software to play games on above 137 gigs works just fine. I have a 500gb sata hdd in mine because i bought a chink adapter for sata instead of IDE. Only down side to that is losing network capability.
