Well thanks again Punisher. I won my box!

That's why my Mad Catz Dreamcast controller is still one of my favorites to use. It has the L&R Triggers buttons mapped in a perfect Street Fighter 6-button layout. The D-Pad kind of sucks but the analog stick is tight.

I have a Wico but I prefer using the 5200 stick with Pac-man. However my fiancee prefers the Wico. If it wasn't for that I'd sell my Wico. It's tough to use when you are left handed just like the 2600 stick.

I was nine years old. For me, the crash meant I had to wait 21 years for my Atari 7800.My daddy told us about this new system that was way better than his friend's 5200 and it could play all our old games. I think he wanted to get one, but it was not released for sale.
I moved on to a Franklin Ace 1200 for games. It's an Apple IIc clone. I learned to program Apple Basic on that thing, too.
Now I have half a dozen systems, including a PS2, and that PS2 gets very little use compared to my favorite which is the Saturn. I got sold on Saturn because a fellow I worked with had one in our shop. He played it some in between jobs. I liked what I saw and when I got mine, I purchased some of the same games he had.
The Saturn is being challeneged for my favorite now, though, by that long awaited 7800.
I was 9 then too. My mother said she'd never buy another video game system for me after the 2600 and she sure stuck by it. However my parents divorced in 1983 and my dad went on to by a Vectrex soon after when it came out and later on a NES and Sega Master System mom's wishes but oh well. All of the was sort of against my Since then I've been buying my own systems.
Also I think my best friend at the time had that same Franklin computer. I know it was a Frankling and some type of Apple II clone. He got in trouble when his mom found a disc that had 10 short sex animations. They looked crude by todays standards of course but I thought they were cool then.

Okay, so now I'm scared. I was playing some PocketNES on my GBA earlier today, and I thought how nice it might be to have a PSP with MAME and an NES emulator. So, if I purchase a new PSP, is there any chance of getting one with the older firmware? Or will there be ways to by-pass problems with the current and future firmware?
Also, has anyone actually tried these EMUs out? Are they worth getting a PSP for? I honestly doubt that I would get many "real" games for it, so I would be getting one pretty much just for the emulators.
The MAME emulators aren't too good. The VBA and PS1 ones aren't playable. For me SNES, NES, Genesis, Turbo Grafx 16, 2600 and GBC are running great!!! I know there are other emulators but those are the only ones I play for now. And I bought a 2nd 1.5 PSP used at Gamestop a few weeks about. I saw 2 of them at the Gamestop near me yesterday used.

I always really liked the Nomad but for me PSP Genesis emulation blows it away. Sure some Roms aren't playable but the screen is way way better and it's more portable with a better battery life. I thought about dropping $80 on Nomad before I bought my PSP and now I am glad I didn't. BTW the Lynx is still my favorite way to play portable Ms. Pac-man. And to the original topic I'm about 60% classic and 40% modern on the games I play.

I heard that Atari got sued by Nintendo. supposedly this was because they used some NES technology in the 7800.I don't see that happening after using and working on a 7800, though.
I know that Atari did get sued by Nintendo over Tetris. I just don't know which part of Atari it was.
Evidently someone besides Rare had reverse engineered the NES and began producing games for it. I've never found Atari's (Tengen's) Tetris, but someday maybe I will.
It used to fetch $200 but I've seen to go for $30-50 lately.

LOL. Those are great but the 1st one is my fav as the average gamer may not have known that back then.

Thanks I'm on it. I hope it doesn't get as high as this Virtual Boy box went for. I can't pay $30 for a box.

It's just a minor annoyance to me. It's not like it's bad ghosting.

Come to think of it, PSP games have the same problem UMDs do. A very high percentage of PSP games are little more than watered down PS2 games and do you really want to buy the same game twice, given that PSP games run for $40-50 and their PS2 counterparts can often be had for less money The more I think about it the more I think the PSP just should have been a portable PS2..I bought 2 games new in the store the day after I bought my PSP and every game since I bought off then ebay except Lumines which I got used at Gamestop. I just can't pay $40-50 for a portable game. Also I don't think they could have made a true portable PS2 have major battery issues. Battery life is an issue for the PSP and that's only running games at 222mhz right now. Ridge Racer will kill the battery in a couple of hours.

I can see why some people buy them. I've had several portable DVD players and the PSP's portability puts them all to shame. You can't put a portable DVD player in your pocket. The screen is way better than any portable DVD player as well. Still they are a bit over priced IMO ($10 sounds about right to me) and the fact you can't play them on a set up box sucks too. I could see people traveling a lot for business buying them or mayble just people with tons of money to burn.

Mine never came with one and I've been wanting one for a while for display purposes. I can send a few bucks for it and for the s/h.

This year 2005. I think it was March. It was with 15 games and no system box for $150. I've bought about 30 more games since. All off ebay.

I love my PSP. It's been worth every penny I spent, but then again I paid $380 cash for 2 PSP systems. That's only about $100 more than one new system would be after tax. I am also in the target demo Sony seems to be marketing too so I like most of the games I see. I don't have that much time to play my consoles and I like mainly, action/adventure, racing, fighting and sports games and I have a decentamount of disposable income. I never been a big RPG or FPS fan although I've enjoyed games from both genres. It's been my dream for a little portable emualtion machine like this so I couldn't ask for much more.
With that said, I think I may get a DS as well to play some of those quirky games and I am sold on Nintendogs to my surprise.

You don't have to do either WAB released a program to trick the PSP into thinking it's 1.51, 1.52 or 2.0 so you don't have to upgrade for games with firmware updates.

I've tried most version except 7800 and C64 and maybe a couple I'm missing, but enjoyed playing the Lynx version the most. It's arcde faithful although clear not arcade perfect plus it has an alternative version with speed boost.
-
There were a few good Contras games but the NES original Contra was perfection as far as an action/shooter like that.
-
Blockbuster by me has it for $14.99 used. Plus they have buy 2 used games get one free right now.
-
It's unique and that's what make it more cool to collect for to me. It's more eye catching set up and the trackball is great if you have a working one.

PS2 has the biggest library of games of any system and most prefer the controller Xbox's. Also the current crop of games on both system don't look that much better on Xbox although they still do look a bit better. Although I love my PS2, right now I'd get an Xbox if I didn't own any current gen system. The games won't look as dated in a couple of years.

Xbox 360 at launch and probably a PS3 at launch. My trend now is to buy Nintendo systems at the end of their lifespan and get the games for next to nothing since they still play great even if they aren't cutting edge tech wise. I'm sticking to that and I'll get my first Gamecube and a stack of games for a couple hundred bucks not long after I get my 360.
Start with the basic Street Fighter 2 arrangement and go from there.

Does anyone have a spare system box?

Did you see the Virtual Boy box that went for $30 that I posted? It's what collecting is about. I want boxes for all my system but at this point $20 is about as much as I am willing to pay. Some are obviously willing to more than that and others just aren't into collecting so they aren't paying anything. I all balances out IMO. One example is I paid $50 for an N64 with 18 games no long ago. That would have cost me about $1,400 when the N64 was new. I paid $150 for my Jaguar on Ebay with 16 games and that was a pretty good deal too. I plan on getting new Gamecube later in the year new so it has the box and a bunch of cheap games. I see possible even further GC discounts after the 360 comes out.
