Rick Wilder's history of piracy on Sony consoles begins with the still extant PS1 modding scene and how pirates emerged victorious.
"NACON Revolution X Unlimited is a premium device with a premium price - stacked with features like an LCD screen and built with Hall Effect tech for longevity."
THIS IS HUGE. Do you know how long i've been waiting for an XBox style controller with rear paddles, a touch pad and gyro? This is enormous. I spent 400 dollars on a custom PS5 controller with rear paddles just so I could have that - but it broke and i've been devastated ever since. Even that controller didn't let me use keyboard macros as buttons (specifically the rear paddles) because it didnt have XBox Elite support in Steam (obviously). This is the greatest controller feature list of any controller on the market. Finally. Finally! Ordering one soon.
Few consoles have ever felt as good a home for RPGs as the PS1. But not every RPG could go on to have the insane success of Final Fantasy.
I have a few copies of Threads of Fate, Azure Dreams, Lunars and Koudelka. I believe I own all of these
This peripheral is ghostly good.
I remember as was only time I had a chipped console my cousins you could just put a disc in my one had to use an action replay attached to back and you had to use a boot up disc (anything official even a demo) then swap out discs. Then i remember they took the ports out the back but they still get getting around it. Blockbusters was a godsend back then 🙌🏻😏 29299;✌🏻😂
My friend gave me his old PS1 back in the early 2000s. I remember going to Blockbuster renting games copying them on my PC and playing them on the modded PS1 :D The way I see it, if you buy anything you are allowed to do what the hell you want to it. Fuck them it's my $$ I bought it, I can tinker with it, this is the principle I will always stand up for.
My local video shop had a Chinese guy upstairs doing the chips and games. I was in secondary school at the time and remember my friends coming to school with lots of copied games.
The good ol' times of a chipped PS1 allowing us to play games imported from Japan or the USA or pirated copies on our european consoles instead of 50Hz Pal games that took forever to be released over here... Good memories. I don't understand what went through my head when I sold my hard-payed copy of Akumajou dracula gekka no yasoukyoku, dammit....Fortunately I did not sell the music CD that came with it, or the mini-art book/comic book. I even managed to sneakily steal another one in some VG shop for the latter, back then, so I have 2 now... but no case or game unfortunately :(
