Ah, that's exactly what it is. Thanks mr ultimate! So it detects the modchip and won't play. Feck I'll have to see if I can obtain a copy without the protection in it.

Or just "obtain a copy" patched or something....


What was that, went all dizzy there, could have said anything really...

What type of PS1 is it, & do you know what chip is in it? Some chips have a 'stealth' mode that the games can't detect apparently

It's a SCPH-9000 series PS1 so one of the later ones. Haven't a clue what chip is in it as I got it for free off some guy. I don't really want to open it up either In case I damage a wire or something as I don't know how well it was installed.

MrVestek

You could try the old swap boot method. Use something to hold the CD door button open and then wait for the PS1 to read the boot sector off of another disc.

When it spins down the first time quickly swap the discs.

Not sure if this would bypass the chip detection but it's worth a shot!

CiDeRmAn

A bit pointless when you've gone to the trouble of chipping your PS in order to avoid all the tedious messing around with hyperspace disc swapping

Atavan-Halen

I might give it a go and see what happens. I'll try it on a non modded one though. I also tried using an action replay as apparently that can work but to no avail. It loads the game but just hangs on the intro screen.

I'm more interested on how to get this working now rather than playing ddr :P

The stealth mode wiring usually involved soldering another wire or two, & is optional. It's likely the installer just went with the basic install

Atavan-Halen

So the swap trick does make it work but, it's in black and white and bad interference happening so not really playable.

CiDeRmAn

I tried the swap trick on the wife once, but her sister boxed me in the jaw....

Now now, leave Atavan alone, he's gone through a lot this year, changing his posting habits, perfecting the Twerk, being The Boss at Beers DDR.
If he says his RGB cable is "somewhere" lets give him the benefit of the doubt, even if it is currently sitting in a warehouse in Hong Kong, awaiting a hasty dispatch to Dundrum

So you're trying to play a 60hz disc on a 50hz only PAL TV - thems the results you get in that scenario.

Your PS1 is grand, just RGB the yolk for colour!!! :pac:

Actually this is the first New Years I'm not out or doing anything. Instead been alternating between playing GT6 and watching crap tv, and it's kinda nice!

I'd want something more reliable than a DeLorean, remembering that it kept breaking down.
Maybe a time traveling Lotus?

I'm still unclear how that thing works.
Very cool though.
I look forward to seeing them in the Argos catalogue!

It's those cool double ties coming into fashion that I'm most looking forward to.

Jack burton

Right I'm going off to London fairly soon and just going through a list of what I want to do and see.

So obviously I need to get some retro goodness when I'm there. I already looked up Retro Game Base but has anyone got any other tips where I should take a look, any of the markets have some good sellers or anything?

Bayonetta 2
Mario Kart 8
Smash Bros
Donkey Kong

and still yet to pick up wonderful 101 , sonic lost world which at this stage I still might skip and Super Mario 3d world

You bought the Wii U at launch to play games coming out over a year later? Surely the above weren't promised launch titles?

Can't believe the Wii U is out since Nov 2012 actually, almost feels like a last gen machine it's had such little impact (imo).

Other than Retr0's mam, Ciderman, my aunt and my cousin, I got no other texts! I was surprised so was delighted to get it. Thanks Hobbit kun

Apparently the Wii U outsold the Xbox one the week before Xmas.

Now now, don't be mean!

Anybody played any of the Zelda: ALTTP clones?

I'm about 3 hours into Zelda Parallel Worlds on my SNES emulator on my android tablet. It's very VERY fun to be playing an entirely new 16bit Zelda Adventure, new maps, storylines, etc, but the difficulty is taking the fun out of it somewhat. I'm playing the remodeled version, which is less difficult than the original clone, and i'm still dying WAY too frequently and relying on save states a bit. There are cheap and plentiful enemies everywhere, no map or compass in ANY of the dungeons, and not even a sword to defend yourself with for most of the early part of the game (including much of the first dungeon).

I'm in two minds whether to go back to it or not. Has anyone any recommendations for other good zelda clones that aren't as unforgiving?

Another fascinating presentation

So much is possible with the wiiu gamepad so lets hope this is successful.

Boulder Dash on Gamepad ftw :pac:

Another reason why physical copies > digital copies. Not that most of ye need convincing anyway.

I received a PSP over christmas. I've had a hacked one here for a good while, but the door on it was fecked, so I couldn't play any physical copies. Because of that, I didn't show the console as much love as I would with others. I did, however, play Corpse Party on it, and I absolutely loved it! I know that it's available on PSN, but I was wondering can you get a hard copy of this game? I'd love to have it in my collection.

Retr0gamer

It never got a physical release here. There is a sequel as well that is available on PSN. It might have gotten a Japanese physical release. It was a doujin game on japanese home computers so you could look for a physical copy on them but good luck finding one.

Ah, that's disappointing. I might end up downloading it properly from PSN then, just for the sake of it. Cracking game. It's a real shame that we don't have a disc release.

Dave Allen was awesome back in the day. I thought he was dead! Glad to hear he's still wearing his clogs.

I'll be watching Rush shortly. Missed it at the cinema so settling for 1080p instead...
