    If you know how to program, you can make the PS1 do better 2D games than the Saturn. Fighters needs RAM so the PS1 wasn't the best system for fighters. But when it comes to shmups is when the PSX is great with 2D games.

     

    Philosoma for the PS1 wasn't the greatest shmup on earth, but it shows tons of 2D techniques which was impressive.

     

    Raiden Project with has Raiden I and II were perfectly ported onto the PSX (Raiden II hads tons of sprites on screen in the later stages, and the PSX didn't slowdown one bit).

     

    Gradius Gaiden (import) had tons of sprites 2D effects going crazy without slowdown one bit.

     

    The best example of 2D programming on the PSX were from DonPachi and DoDonPachi (both were release in Japan only). Both arcade games were orginally developed by Cave (founded by former Toaplan members, the people behind Fire Shark, Zero Wing, Tiger Heli, and more) and were published in the arcades by Atlus. Atlus desides to port the games onto the Saturn, and the results were crap. For the system which had done great 2D conversions, DonPachi on the Saturn was pure shit (it was just about unplayable). DoDonPachi did better on the Saturn but the explosions were pixilnated, the sound quality was crap, and it has a little extra slowdown than the arcade port. In order to understand both Pachi's shooters, they're bullet-hell shooters which later in the game you can have 400 bullets on screen at once, and they are all going really fast!

     

    Still with me, good. A company called S.P.S. decides to port both Pachi's shooters onto the PSX. People laughed at the company because if Atlus can't port both games correctly on the Saturn, then they can't do it either. Well when DonPachi came out on the PSX it blew everyone away. Why, because it was just about close to the arcade version (with lower sound quality). No pixilnation, no extra slowdown, hell the port looks like the arcade version. Even when DonPachi shows 400 bullets on screen the PSX doesn't slowdown at all. S.P.S. done it again when they ported DoDonPachi onto the PSX. It might have lower sound quality, but no pixilnation, and no slowdown. Hell there's even a button which you can press to slowdown the whole game for you!

     

    If you know how to program, then you can do just about anything. If you look at ebay you can find plently of copies of DonPachi and DoDonPachi for the Saturn. But the PSX copies of both games are hard to find (well not DonPachi because the game was reprinted) because they were much better ports than the Saturn version.

     

    If you have MAME, download both games and play them a lot. The PSX version is just about the same, not lying at all. :)

    I can never understand why people are buying this fuck-up port of the arcade classic.

     

    I would get the Dreamcast version all the way. Why:

     

    DC

    -Better sound quality.

    -Sharper image.

    -Slowdown = There is slowdown in TATE mode, and I do not view this as a bad thing since it is identicle to the NAOMI (arcade) version. I do not view the GC versions "No slowdown" as a good thing, and it will make areas of the game HARDER compared to the NAOMI. Examples are TAGERI (HARD mode would be a nightmare) and the Chapter 3 boss once he starts shooting lasers.

    -TATE mode.

     

    GC

    -A decrease in sharpness is clearly seen from Chapter 2 on. This bothered the hell out of me.

    -Conquest mode - This is useless, there is a dump truck of better videos out there than these. Choosing sections of the level to start at is also flawed because you can't select if you want to start with full homing.

    -Music is out of sync. (In Stage 1)

    -Sound and Music glitches. (Sometimes they would be no sound effects).

    -Graphical glitches. (Missing textures time to time in certain areas).

    -No TATE Mode.

     

    If you have a Dreamcast that plays imports, get the import version of Ikaruga please!

    the outer work is done, it was bondoed again and sanded down well, it is primer grey, which i hate, once i throw plates on it ill have it appraised for a paint job, hoping it wont be too much cus it has already been primed and sanded, this guy was a professional.

     

    and the back firebird logo is plastic, it was re sprayed prior to me buying it.

     

    92K miles, engine looks brand new, mint T-Tops, new tires, new floorboards.

     

    runs like a dream

     

    You got to share us photos of inside the car, and engine man.

     

    You got lucky on this.

     

    92k miles and it's the orginal engine!? I'm suprise it still works.

    finally got it yestorday

     

    Traded:

    300.00

    X box 360

    49 dvd's

    18 inch tv

     

    for 1989 firebird formula, loaded 92K, deal of the century 305 V8

     

    did you trade all this stuff, ( and cash ) for a car?

    I want pics

     

    didnt see this earlier yes, i traded the above for the car,

     

    Well from looking at the photos it needs some outside work (the Firebird logo on the back looks rusted). Just invest some money on the car and it looks good as new.

     

    This is the first time in my life someone traded electronics for a car.

    I always wanted to try MC3D.

     

    I don't own an Jaguar so the only way I'm going to try out Tempest 2000 is with Tempest X3 on the PSX.

    Give Dio's T2K emulator a try (http://www.medwaypvb.com/llamadloads2.html). It emulates Tempest 2000 almost perfectly.

     

    Try out the program.

     

    Very well emulated. I just wished the author of the program can expand it to include many other Jaguar games.

     

    Is there an working Jaguar emulator? Last time I check all the emulators didn't really work too tell (well you can blame on the hardware issues of the Jaguar).

    the load times in this game are rather long I would guess it takes 3 minutes to load a fight then a minute or so between rounds...

     

    This is completely incorrect.

     

    I have it, it's a great game, very fun and challenging, decent moves, and it doesn't take anywhere near 3 minutes to load a round or fight, there is no load time at all between rounds and I've noticed only 10-15 seconds to get to the first fight and 5-10 seconds after that. It did take about 45-55 seconds to load up the game though, after first powering up. So, I don't know what all this long load time for Primal Rage is about.

     

    That's not bad at all.

     

    Some games on the Neo-Geo CD are a lot worse than that.

     

    Thanks for the info guys.

     

    I think that we are spoiled with the very short loading times of most Jaguar Cdgames.

    Play a regular Psxgame, (speaking of fighters, Mortal Kombat Trilogy) and then you can talk about loading times.

     

    Dude, the loading times on the PSX games are noting at all. I consider them quick (when compair to the Neo-Geo CD).

    I'm still surprised people still do mods rather than just buying the 8-bit domain board.

     

    Sorry to BUMP this old thread but the reason is I perfer to get the system modded is I don't know jack-shit about installing parts. And besides the S-Video mod was an pain in the ass to install.

     

    The modder didn't buy 8-bit domain board, he did everything the hard way.

     

    And I might say he did it good.

    Paid $45 for the boxed TG16. :) The video is having some issues though. I posted about that in another topic. But yeah a topic for MGC finds would be great.

     

    If you had the money you should get an modded PC Enigne Duo-R with S-Video installed. Sure it might cost around $200-$300 but it's worth it. :lust:

     

    Get Blazing Lasers and Soldier Blade. ;)

    Load times suck but its one of the best jaguar cd games out,you will probably like it :cool:

     

    Can anyone explain more on the loading times like where does it load and how long does it load?

     

    I don't think the game will be Neo-Geo CD bad when it comes to loading times so I'm curious to find out.

     

    Is the Jaguar CD an 1x CD speed drive?

     

    They should be an new rule when it comes to gaming forums:

     

    The only people who can bitch about the loading times are owners (or former owners) of the Neo-Geo CD. It'll take you about FOUR minutes to get to Round One on The Last Blade. :ponder:

    Over the last week:

     

    tnpicture001lm0.jpg

     

    Flea Market last Saturday:

     

    Vanark US PSX complete.

    Shooter: Starfighter Sanvien US PSX Complete.

    Trap Gunner US PSX Complete.

    No One Can Stop Mr. Domino US PSX Complete.

    Battlecorps US Sega CD complete.

    Wipeout 3 US PSX Complete.

     

    $46.85 total.

     

    Did good on everything except Wipeout 3 which I paid $16. Well at least it was a good game. Sanvien was really good and No One Can Stop Mr. Domino was sweet!

     

    Flea Market today:

     

    tnpicture002nk7.jpg

     

    The Ooze Sega Genesis Cart only.

    RC De Go US PSX Complete.

    R-Types US PSX Complete.

    Sentinel Returns US PSX Complete.

    Nerima Daikon Brothers Vol 1 DVD.

    Total Recall DVD.

    Blade Runner Directors Cut.

     

    And from an new Anime shop around the area: Legend of the Mystical Ninja Complete Set DVDs.

     

    $100 total.

     

    The only game which I paid too much was for R-Types at $16. It was behind the glass as part of the "uncommon and high demand games" like many RPGs, and reprints like Pocket Fighter and Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (which was sealed at $30). I don't even think R-Types is uncommon, because in certain places you can get it for beans cheap.

     

    Out of the four games Sentinel Returns was the best. It was hard at first to understand the game, but once you did it was just crazy. It's like a puzzle game but with limited movement.

     

    Total Recall and Blade Runner were class. I herd that Nerima Daikon Brothers was an homeage to the Blues Brothers (which is one of my favorite movies of all time). Legend of the Mystical Ninja DVDs, well I got it because I loved the orginal game. I never saw the anime series so I don't even know if it's good or not. Had to paid $50 for it at the anime shop. Funny because they were selling Vol 1 of the Nerima Daikon Brothers for $29.99 and I got the same thing at the flea market for $9. The shop sells their stuff at regular prices so don't expect any good deals as of right now.

    Saves space by using the X'Eye.

     

    So what happens if the CD drives stop working?

     

    If my Sega CD stops working I can always replace it.

     

    Then again the X'Eye is cool to have around. ;)

     

    Wanted to thank everyone for their help, this forum is the one of the few where people actually go out of their way. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date with Time Gal on my 47" LCD. :D

     

    Yuck!

     

    Get Final Fight CD on that MotherF***er.

    I'll just append this with a little story here... A few years back i was in an EB Games, and some shifty-looking kid comes up to the counter saying he's got some "trades". He puts his backpack up onto the counter, and takes out a big binder of games. I'm looking at something up near the counter anyway, so i glance over. It's filled with RPGs for various systems, mostly the PS1. Now, you pretty much just have to trust me when i say this kid wasn't exactly a reader. I was appalled to see the guy behind the counter, no questions asked, start tallying the trade-in credit. So i says "Hey, you guys buy stolen property now? I bet the cops would love to know that." The EB guy just gives me kind of a blank look, but the kid freaked out, grabbed his stuff and bolted.

     

    Scumbags, they'll never learn. :ponder:

    Keep the game, and take one more off the market. It was 75 cents, and selling it isn't gonna make you rich, you might as well play the thing.

     

    Not to mention all the PS1 Final Fantasy games were reprinted like 100 times.

     

    And people are paying more than $10 for an complete copy of FFVII. :roll:
