To be honest, after watching that video I posted about it the other day the game doesn't seem all that bad. It just looks like your typical 3D platformer from that era, which I would probably enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 The funny thing is, I don't particularly like 3D platformers. Its just that Croc was the only one I had during that era for years so its kind of stuck with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Ok then, thats the Panasonic Q put away to make room for the Saturn and PSOne as they should both arrive today. I really wish I had more space so I could leave all these consoles out on display. Putting them back in the wardrobe is depressing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Yep that would be the plan eventually. If I had any wall space I'd do that now but no luck at the moment. The PSOne and most of the games for that arrived just now so I'm setting it all up. Think I'll start with Tony Hawk's 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 (edited) *Sigh* They sent me the wrong fucking power cable for the PSOne! Its a kettle lead style from the old PS1.

Its a kettle lead style from the old PS1. Are they gonna send you a new one out today? My copy of THPS3 arrived yesterday. I shouldn't complain as it was only £3.50 but the condition of it wasn't that great. The barcode on the back had a bunch of writing on it ( wasn't shown in the photo ) and the back of the cover at the top has some wear marks where the sleeve has popped out at some point. That's what I hate about buying retro goods, it's so hard to find stuff that is up to my standards. Once I get in from work I think i'll nip up the attic and get the PS2 all set up. Gonna be interesting to see how well the game holds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Forgot how "fun" it is to try and tune aerial stuff in is. I think I'll have to try and pick some scart leads up at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I've set my old Playstation up now to play the games on. Otherwise I'll just be sitting here getting annoyed looking at a pile of games. I am now wondering though why I didnt just set the PS2 up and play them all on that to save space and actually be able to use those memory cards (the PSOne mem card is in a different delivery).

I use them for my PS2 and it looks nice and crisp on the LCD. Also, the official portable LCD screen for the PSOne is worth investing in. The games look great on that small screen.

I'll take a look thanks. I'd forgotten just how slow Tekken 3 feels by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just play them on your PS3? You can save them without the need of a card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS3 lets you make as many virtual PS1 memory cards as you want on its HDD though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just associated it with only the 60gb version playing PS2 games and forgotten the rest. Funnily enough as well I've just found two Playstation component cables in my disgusting box full of random cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Just found it. I must have missed it when I was playing Speed Freak (although I'm sure I looked properly!) but its in the PS settings when you are ingame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in the Game Settings menu of the Settings tab on the PS3's XMB. Choose the Normal size for the PS - Upscaler option. Edit: Oh, never mind, you found it anyway. Good job!

There should be one in the XMB somewhere. Try the Game Settings menu. It should be where you can add the smooth filter to the games. EDIT: Ah, you found it.
