You need to toss the Frag FX and put the Frag N Stein in that OP in its place. Very very few of us have FragFXs. I can think of at least 10 of us that have FnSes, however, and we all love the poo poo out of them.

Gay Rumsfeld posted:I read a review of the Fragnstein which said it has a noticable dead zone when playing MW2 - is this true? The reviewer said he has played with XIM, fragFX, and this thing, and that the best he could come up with was Fragnstein+XIM. He was probably retarded and didn't know how to tweak the firmware. The behavior of the FragNStein in many games depends entirely on which firmware you're running on it. Thankfully the FnS guys keep every useful firmwares copy on their site, and it's ridiculously simple to hotswap out firmwares. I played through all of MW2 with my FnS, and I had no problems at all... it was drat responsive. Forgot which firmware I used since MW2 is kinda poo poo and I traded it back like a week after I beat the SP part.

Crows Turn Off posted:All of them can play PS1 games. The newer ones cannot play PS2 games. They did that because it's cheaper to manufacture the system. Thing is, the MGS4 editon PS3s had BC, and the extra cost in hardware was minimal... they don't have the whole Emotion chip or whatever the CPU of the PS2 was called, all they have is a GPU chip for the PS2, as I understand it. Rest of the emulation is all software.

dis astranagant posted:I'm honestly surprised this tired argument isn't bannable yet. My psp makes a nice portable ps1, snes, genesis, nes, dos box, ebook reader and runs several roguelikes it wouldn't otherwise. My ps3 will probably make a decent htpc when people stop yelling piracy long enough to do something useful with their time. The first time I played Snatcher was using the SegaCD emulator on my PSP. It was loving awesome.

I said come in! posted:He is actually correct. You don't get to pick and choose which copyright laws you want to follow. These games are still protected, and it is piracy to play them on your psp. Especially since a lot of these games are available still for digital purchase on other platforms. If you are playing Super Mario RPG on your PSP, thats a pretty clear cut case of piracy. Aphrodite posted:Oh, it's hard to do? Well that makes piracy legal then! I'm saying that if I go out and buy a copy of Snatcher on Sega CD (which I did) and then I choose to rip a ROM of that game and then play it on my PSP, that's perfectly within my right to do because I own a copy of that game. Same for the SNES games I play, or any other system. Just because I'm playing the ROM, doesn't mean I don't already actually own the game. I have loving shitload of SNES games that I picked up during a clearance sale way back in like 1996. My computer monitor (which is my only TV, I'm a medical student and live in a small studio) has no composite video input, nor does it have a VGA input meaning the vast majority of VGA boxes won't even work with it (I already bought one and tried to no avail  ) so hooking up an SNES isn't really an option.Yeah, I'm probably the minority by far, but the fact remains, if I have the ability to play these games that I already own on another system, is that ethically wrong?

Murodese posted:Yeah, it hasn't worked for a long time. There are tricks (proxy servers) to block mandatory updates while retaining psn access though, which I know a couple of people are using so they don't lose OtherOS. Dammit, really? Well poo poo, now I'm sad I don't have OtherOS anymore. Apparently the PCSX2 guy is getting to work already on a PS2 emulator AND a Dreamcast emulator. I'll say no more since some people are going to start crying about piracy or whatever. Suffice it to say, how does one setup a proxy to still get onto PSN without updating?

Code Jockey posted:To me, the PS2 was the "second SNES". To me [and most, I think] the SNES dominated the market during its time with its amazing selection of titles and developers. I'd say, while the PS1 was one hell of a console with some legendary titles, we didn't see that kind of astounding selection of titles again until the PS2. Soooo much good stuff. I think the PS1 was the first successor to the SNES, simply because at the time of its life, there really wasn't any alternative other than the N64, and PSX had literally like 3 times the library of the N64.

Sco Dylan posted:I still don't get why anybody would lock their PS3 in time and disable online functionality just to be able to copy vanilla single player games. You assume it will lock you out of PSN and they won't figure out a firmware that can spoof PSN and fool it, and you also assume it's for copying games... gently caress that, I want some goddamn emulators! Being able to take just my PS3 and 4 controllers to a friend's house and suddenly we have a full on MAME box hooked up to an HD TV in the living room via 2 wires in 5 seconds = win.

So anyne want to start a PS3 Homebrew thread, since there's enough info around for it to be warranted, and that way we can stop making GBS threads up this thread and don't have to worry about the peanut gallery chiming in about how PIRACY IS WRONG or whatever? I'd do it but I know I won't have the time to stay up on the news and keep it updated, so I'd rather have a real OP instead of be the cause of the usual bullshit routine of no one updating the OP for 2 years and it turning to poo poo.

Mug posted:When you get your 2nd PS3 and your little jailbreak USB thing, what exactly are you going to do with it? There's no fun homebrew stuff to play with. Oh but there will be... there will be. If they manage to get a working MAME, SNES, Genesis, et al. and also PC Engine, Dreamcast, Saturn, XBMC, N64, and Gamecube emulators working on it, it would have been WELL worth the purchase. Cheaper than getting an HTPC, plus it plays basically every old console I love, has a built in 1080p HDMI port, AND it works with a remote? (which I already have) Sign me up! A theoretical Wii emulator via Move would just be icing on the cake. Icing I doubt will ever happen, but hey, whatever.

Hey guys, I'm totally going to drag my desktop PC (and all its wires and paraphernalia, as my laptop isn't ridiculous enough for some emulators) to my friend's house where my group of friends all conglomerate, hook it up to a TV and somehow to the sound system, and then go through a shitload of hassle to get multiple controllers all working and calibrated (separately for each emulator, in some cases. See Project64 and ePSXe) so that, a full 45 min- 1 hour later, after everyone's lost interest, we can settle down to have a jaunty romp through the old X-Men arcade game or play GoldenEye or NBA Jam or Twisted Metal Black, and reminisce about our childhood. Yes, that is way easier than taking a single PS3 unit over, borrowing my friend's PS3's HDMI cable and power plug, resynching his controllers along with mine, and sitting down and playing the same poo poo within like 5 minutes. Yeah, I totally don't see the utility of that. At all. Completely ridiculous!

http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=217388823 Funky XFPS like gadget that lets you use a mouse and keyboard instead of a controller for games... dunno how well it works, but it's way cheaper than the old XFPS was, and seems far, far simpler to setup. (XFPS needed like a PS2 adapter plug and all this jiggery pokery) I'm sticking to my FragNStein, but if anyone's in the market for a mouse solution, may want to try this out. Definitely cheaper, although you'd need to get a wired mouse+kb to use with it.

Also check out GoG for a lot of really great older games. The monetary investment for a PS3 probably won't be worth it to you, unless you're also really looking for a BD drive, then sure why not. Just go get a good controller for your PC. Throwdown posted:A fool and his money.
