RightHandOfIkaros, do games w People who call the PS1 'PSX' make me want to kill kittens

I only use “PS1” when naming a ROM folder so it sorts correctly.

The PSX was always called the PSX. It always shared a suspicious name similarity with the Microsoft MSX computer device family, which Sony manyfactured some of them.

If you’re looking for a fun and engaging game to play with your partner, I recommend trying Dr. Driving. It’s a simple but exciting driving game where you both can take turns or compete for high scores. It’s easy to play and perfect for casual fun without needing too much time. You can safely download the Dr. Driving APK from the trusted site drdrivingsapk.com, which offers the latest version and updates.

Brinjal, aubergine, eggplant, all the same.

Well since Sony made a model called one, there’s a point in psx for the whole line.

    DdCno1,

    I think this was an Atari 2600 on a chip though, not emulation, although I’m not 100% sure. Wikipedia states that the successor from 2005 used such a design, but surely this must have been the only way of creating this kind of low-cost device in 2002. I doubt there was anything cheap enough that could emulate even a system as basic as the 2600 in software back then.

    barsoap,

    The 2600 used a MOS 6507, which is a cut-down 6502, which had ~3500 logic transistors (not counting the ones necessary because NMOS), running at a max of 3MHz. Add very primitive graphics and 8k RAM.

    Can’t be arsed to slog through suitable processors but ARM cores back then could kill that thing dead. 2002 is six years after the Palm Pilot while Moore’s law was still in full effect. The 2600 is from 1977, two decades more ancient.

    There should even be more than enough cycles left over to generate the video signal in software.

    DdCno1,

    Sure, but 2002 was a bit too early for ARM chips in what was essentially a cheap children’s toy. They were still too complex and expensive for this kind of thing at the time - not to mention, there were few emulators that ran on this architecture available, so it would have to be specifically developed.

    Is the top right one of these AI Ghibli images, that I’ve heard of these last few weeks?

    Also, why is Fallout London and Skyblivion on that picture? Bethesda are supporting mods for their games, they don’t care that someone makes new stuff. Have they ever blocked one of these mods, like Take2 or Nintendo always do?

    Viri4thus,

    Because Bethesda tried to make money off of modders’ work, that’s why. Bethesda is as cancerous as Nintendo, especially after acquisition when the office “hunger games” started.

    It’s like charging you 45% after building a house for using their shovel…

    Poopfeast420,
    @Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

    Ok? I don’t think taking money for mods is wrong. It’s not like Bethesda did this without the modders knowledge. Free mods still existed. Nowadays people just open a Patreon to get paid for this stuff.

    What “hunger games” stuff do you mean.

    dev_null,

    The problem isn’t modders getting paid for their work. The problem was Bethesda trying to take a cut for mods they didn’t make.

    Viri4thus,

    Ok? I don’t think taking money for mods is wrong.

    Nobody argued taking money for mods is wrong. The argument is Bethesda taking ~50% of someone else’s mod pay is borderline worthy of racketeering charges.

    It’s not like Bethesda did this without the modders knowledge. Free mods still existed.

    So the choice was getting nothing and getting shafted by Toddy, most people chose to get nothing and you think that was OK, and not at all a sign of disgusting behaviour, because Bethesda looked modders in the eye while they robbed them?

    I will NEVER understand fanboys.

    Poopfeast420,
    @Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

    While I agree with you, that the money distribution was unfair, I think if you’re actually comparing this to the shit Nintendo pulls all the time, you’re insane.

    Also, if you’re calling me a fanboy, because I don’t immediately blacklist a company for a (in my opinion) small issue, you have to be one as well, because otherwise you’d live off the grid in the woods.

    While I agree with you, that the money distribution was unfair, I think if you’re actually comparing this to the shit Nintendo pulls all the time, you’re insane.

    Bethesda, like Nintendo, has jumped the “bleed the fans dry” bandwagon, rather than make games that people love like in the days of yore. They indeed are as cancerous as Nintendo, just smaller.

    Perhaps we can let Mick Gordon be the judge of that?

    psx_crab,

    That’s entirely different case though? They didn’t pull the shit with FOL and Skyblivion.

    Viri4thus,

    Yet…

    Nobody called it the PS1 until the PS2 came along. Sony codenamed it the PSX.

    Apparently you weren’t there when the original PlayStation came out. If you’re into nostalgia like that, you’re studying the wrong thing…

    SolidShake, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

    yeah i need star citizen, ableton, fl studio, premier, photoshop and more before i can dedicate a jump to linux

    WhyJiffie,

    don’t forget that LTSC is also a solution, you don’t have to give in to 11

    SolidShake,

    There’s nothing wrong with windows 11 imo

    desktop_user,

    it’s a death by a thousand cuts situation, more friction to use a local account, less convenience in accessing rarely used settings (most recently I was trying to help someone change a setting located in the advanced power management control panel thing), more pressure to use edge, continuing to shove one-drive down our throats, copilot, implementing features that knowingly make third party tools work significanly less well without proper customization to fix it, weirdness around Multi-Display setups on laptops, the maps app getting worse at giving directions.

    SolidShake,

    So… in my experience edge runs better than all other browsers with the ability to mute individual tabs without an addon. I disabled copilot. I disabled one drive and use local storage only. All settings can be accessed by just typing what you want in the search bar. If you need advanced settings for anything you just click the button that says “advanced settings” To me it’s fairly simple, but it’s all I’ve ever used. My Mac knowledge is minimal and my Linux knowledge is also minimal, so for me both those OS’s are difficult to use and navigate. I also like the ability to double click something to install it and not have to open a command box and do child coding just to use something.

    So I get what your saying. If I had Linux only for the last 30 years I would also find windows to be confusing and stupid.

    WhyJiffie,

    I had windows for 20 years. enough is enough. I’ll never accept all the bullshit of 11. but if you use edge, I see you have different values, like privacy is not really important to you

    SolidShake,

    What privacy would I need man? I’m not on some super secret server making plans for global domination lol.

    WhyJiffie,

    “super secret server” what, we are talking in discord servers now?

    privacy is not for “super secret” people. it is for everyone who does not mindlessly throw it away.

    SolidShake,

    So you couldn’t just answer the question? What do I need security from? I don’t input credit card information. So I generally want to know

    WhyJiffie,

    I’m not talking about credit card information. I’m talking about all the kinds of commercial data mining that is happening basically all over the internet. Personally, I’m sick of it. and while firefox has problems, anything chromium based won’t even try to project your privacy, to the contrary, especially edge. if you like having all your digital and a lot of irl activities collected in data broker databases for profiling, targeted ads, personalized costs and whatnot, then edge is the ideal browser for you.

    SolidShake,

    I think you might be paranoid a little bit.

    Megaman_EXE, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of April 6th

    I’ve been playing Grounded recently. I’ve been finding it pretty fun, even when played solo. Although some aspects were a bit confusing or felt slightly padded (likely due to playing solo). I have also been wanting to get back into monster hunter wilds so I’ll likely try that again soon. It’s been a lot of fun as well but oooh those menus on menus can get overwhelming.

    I’ve been very curious about the switch 2 and the price increases that will likely hit the market. I’m slightly afraid they might try to jack up prices on existing games, so I’m debating if I should snag some now or hold off. I’ve wanted to play some of the xenoblades and the newest Mario party!
