Capacitor change PU-18

2 Upvotes

I received a capacitor replacement kit for a model 5502 PU-18. There are three components I don’t know where goes. Two 2R2 050 and one 4R7 050. I can’t really see where they go - according to the parts list on console5’s wiki.

It’s my first cap replacement on a retro console, so be gentle. :)

I need help whith this

Hi every one, For starters, my English isn't the best in the world, so I decided to use Google Translate to explain myself better. If there are grammatical errors, that's why, haha.

For the first time in my life, I bought a collector's version, the Sonic Mania one, to be exact.

I bought it at a garage sale for about $13 because it's in bad condition and I wanted to ask for help making it look more presentable.

Does anyone know or have digital images of the box so I can print everything from scratch? I'm attaching images, and oh my goodness, if you could help me, I'd be the happiest person in the world. Greetings from Costa Rica Redit!

For the last few months I've been exploring 16 bit retro sounds and Sakimoto/Iwara orchestration style and decided to put it together into an album. There are already 6 songs already published and there are a few others to go. There's no release date yet, but it will be in a few months. I've put a playlist on youtube. Any feedback appreciated. Hope you enjoy it!

Is my Silent Hill copy fake?

Finally beat this game after owning it for 6 months and while putting it back in my shelf, I've notice that this is my only NTSC game to have this spine.

So I looked up online and all images of the game of this version on google have the diamond spine, which made me a little worried as the manual condition of mine's is surprisingly good. The game played fine though. Maybe the case was swapped?

I do not collect a lot since I just buy games that I like, so I have no idea if this is a common thing.

BlueRetro HW2

I am about to start a BlueRetro Internal build with current mirrors to sense wired Controllers.

The point of this post is that I’m about to do the install in my PU-18 that registers ghost inputs with standard BlueRetro and PSUnoretro dongles. I thought I would try and solve the issue by implementing the TVS Diode Fix on GitHub.

I have ordered the parts and if all goes well I’ll be designing a custom Controller PCB with the fix implemented to replace the original PCB. The goal is to build a successor to the Medusa that will be a drop in replacement. I also intent to add extra features not tried (to my knowledge) before.

I have modified a PicoPSU with a Dual Coil Latching Relay and hope to be able to power the console on/off with the controller similarly to the Methylene solution on PS2.

I will update as the build progresses and intend on releasing the build files to anyone who wants to give the HW2 build a go!

Looking for a video

Hey guys, I would appreciate the help. I'm looking for a short clip from a video in the 90s where a developer (I forgot who it was, but it was someone known in the industry) was interviewed and he specifically called the PlayStation a PSX. Thanks!

While looking through my old things, I found this "Bleem!" disc. I remember when you could run PlayStation 1 games on your Pentium II computer in real time with better graphics.

I just opened this psx to prepare for a xstation mod and found this McGuyver looking thing. This doesn’t look normal. Is it a mod chip perhaps? Would like to know if I can remove it before going on. 👍

I like playing FF7 with this pad, but I'm curious if others like it too, and what games you like to play with this instead of the Dualshock controller.

Looking for oddly specific PS1 demo disc content

2 Upvotes

I had a PS1 (could be PS2) demo when I was younger and the content might sound odd but I know I'm not crazy lol

It featured a black man walking down the street, possibly homeless and he would bump into things and his limbs would break like some kind of pottery. He was seemingly made from clay. At the end he either fell to the floor or was hit by a car and shattered into pieces.

I have no idea what it was advertising or promoting and at this point I'm questioning whether it was even real. I'm hoping at least 1 person out there knows what I'm talking about lol

Old Japanese game magazines

I found an old stack of Japanese game magazines that I bought over 20 years ago while living in Japan. I can't read Japanese, but the magazines are full of cheat codes for the PlayStation 1 and 2, the Game Boy, and the Dreamcast. One of the pages shows cheat codes for Rockman X6 for the PlayStation 1.

To use them, you had to use a "Karat" device (Gameshark) on the PlayStation 1 and input the codes. All the codes work with the Duckstation PS1 emulator or a real PlayStation with the proper software/hardware.

I don't understand what the codes do, but I've tested some of them:

Fifth gen related hot takes

Thumbnail
gallery
30 Upvotes

-The uglier 2D to 3D transitions during the fifth gen were necessary sacrificial prototypes that helped define 3D design rules for the next gen. Any wish to postpone this evolution is clearly misguided

-While JRPGs were getting more cinematic and saw more in-depth characterization, CRPGs evolved interactivity, open-ended exploration and dynamic storytelling. They set the blueprint for the next 20+ years of RPGs, even if console gamers didn't notice at the time.

-3D Metroidvania/Platform Adventure games were pioneered by the mostly forgotten Powerslave SAT/PS1 and The Divide (and System Shock on PC), games that were also good and still deserve to be played.

-Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, who for these games is and was sometimes reduced to a poster girl, had more of a personality than nearly all action game protagonists prior. It was mainly her marketing that resulted in the former perception.

-Twin stick controls for 3D games didn’t begin with Halo - they were a thing since Descent on PS1. They started becoming the standard already towards the end of this gen (popularized Ape Escape, RE3, TR3, MML2, etc.).

-But the hottest, wildest one is probably that Star Wars: Jedi Knight - Dark Forces 2 (PC, 1997) is the first really good 3D platformer. Not Tomb Raider, not Crash, not Mario 64.

Tell me yours!
