@@BigK13372 While yes, obviously all products are to make money. When people call something a "cash grab" I think they are referring to when a company makes a sub-optimal product taking very little TLC, just to cash-in on people being gullible. With these retro consoles they are playing on nostalgia which is fine if its a good polished product, but when even their own past products (PSP, PSVita, PS3) can do a vastly superior job, then people have a right to be upset. The fact Sony chose an open source emulator, something which not so long ago they were trying to kill off unofficial emulation, it just becomes even more ironic.

[@BigK13372]

Alex Atkin That’s actually why I usually find minis in general to be a cash grab. Honestly I see no reason in getting them when I can play near perfect emulations of the games I want via the Virtual Consoles, PS Classic or a game collection (all of which from the 6th and 7th generation of gaming). I mean the only reason to get those things is either lack of availiability to play the classic game or just want to be able to play old games in HD. All the Playstation Classic (man that name will confuse it with the built in emulation in the PS3) does was cement how these things are just exploiting on nostalgia for a rather subpar method of emulating the games (that and the Neo Geo Mini . . . seriously SNK and Capcom are guilty of exploiting nostalgia).

[@spavatch]

Every rehash of old hardware is just a cash grab. It's just that some companies know how to make quality rehashes and some don't

[@laharl2k]

Was is so hard to make a poll for which games the fans "remembered" the most? Are people at sony stupid? Even having a custom board with a microsd card slot say for people wanting to mod it would be better than this. Like with bethesda if you cant make a good product at least let modders make it better for you.

[@DumDoDoor]

Right, but because people expected great games coming from an era when the PS1 is awesome, it would be super easy to add all the top sellers and series. Apparently Sony found this is more difficult to do. Licenses is one thing and time consuming paperwork is just too wasteful to just put one game into this mini. Also their choice of emulation is surprising since they do have their own form of software emulation which they could use instead (perhaps porting it onto an ARM processor may also be a suspect to this). They also missed out an opportunity with the SD card functionality. That would've made it all the more sweet if those memory slots were functional. That way, more game ROMS and some modding would've at least make this console far more appealing. Right now modders are at it and it's pretty impressive with its development.

[@laharl2k]

Grandpa Scout Pcsx-rearmed is pretty old and still lacks a lot of support of specific hardware gimmicks which are needed by some games. Front Mission 3 comes to mind, it will constantly corrupt and freeze when entering battles because of a difference in how x86 handles the math thats used in the psx gpu afaik. I mean its a good emulation but i never had consistent results with it, one time it would work perfectly and two month later it would be glitchy or have lag spikes or something.

[@MissAshley42]

In case any of you aren't aware, all PS3s are backwards-compatible with the original Playstation. They removed the PS2 compatibility after the initial launch runs, but they left the PS1 compatibility in on every system. So if you have a PS3 you already have a system that can play PS1 games through HDMI, and they'll work a lot better there then they will on the Classic. You'll have to find the game discs yourself, though.

[@hickey1292]

[@BlackCroft666]

The reason they left the PS1 compatibility is because it was software-based emulation. It wasn't costing Sony anything extra to include it, whereas the PS2 emulation essentially required them to pack a PS2 onto the same circuitboard. When they found out that most people didn't buy a PS3 to play PS2 games, they removed the PS2 hardware to save money so that they weren't losing money with every console sold.

He concluded that the rootkit was connected to the proprietary music player that was included in Sony music CDs. The hidden rootkit program was used to spy on users and their listening habits, and share that information with Sony, as well as prevent other third party audio programs from reading the disk. In the process of spying, the rootkit created additional security flaws which opened the doors for other, more malicious attacks. Even if users detected the rootkit, safely uninstalling it without damaging their computer was another problem. In total, the rootkit was loaded onto roughly 25 million CDs and infected more than 550,000 networks in more than one hundred countries, including thousands of US military and defence networks." source: fsfe.org/activities/drm/sony-rootkit-fiasco.en.html It's the same parent company as Sony, the video game company.

Thank you nostalgia nerd for being the first person to correctly understand how PAL affects timing conversion in emulation.

[@TahreyUK]

It wouldn't be so bad if the thing adjusted its output to 50Hz and 576p when playing them, and left the job of fitting that to the panel's resolution and update rate to the TV or monitor itself... or at least just optionally ran the emulated console at 6/5ths of original speed, which should be entirely within the chipset's capabilities, and cropped off any additional active scanlines (I think the PSX can go as high as 256p/512i? Which isn't much over 240p/480i really... not enough to lose anything important enough to place a little inside the overscan area, anyway). It's the slapdash internal conversion to 60Hz (and I presume either 720p or 1080p, rather than 480p) that really screws it, as you've then not only got slowdown in the poorly adapted games, but also standards-conversion judder, and probably a bit of low quality pixel scaling too.

11:29 This is totally true and it's something we were aware of even back then, many sprite based games looked way better aesthetically than the then impressive 3D but very low poly games.

[@MercenaryTau]

As someone who's been emulating console games since '98 (probably earlier), this is exactly what I'd expect from these Classic Minis

[@MissFoxification]

I don't think this is even for casual retro gamers as there's much better alternatives out there. I'd say this is just for collectors, it isn't a suitable gaming experience. It's a buyers market and they know a lot will pay 99 just to have it.

[@MyRegardsToTheDodo]

It's not even interesting for collectors, because there are too many of these things. The only real market for these things is Sony fanboys (or these pseudo-collectors you see on youtube, where they proudly present their VGA-rated games and don't even realize that they were ripped off).

[@MissFoxification]

@@MyRegardsToTheDodo they may have made too many this time, it's a balance but people still buy them. I am sure their market researchers know the situation better than we do. It's what is called a buyers market, that is who they are catering to, there are people who want this console for the sake of owning it. I have already stated this.

[@cj694x2]

@RPMedia Nintendo had their Virtual Console which was exactly that, an online store to purchase hundreds of old console games, and as far as I know people were eating them up. I have no idea why they ended it.

[@awesomefuzz4008]

I mean, Nintendo did 99% of everything that people have wanted for Smash. The only things I haven’t seen are Waluigi and Banjo-Kazooie. Other than that... well, that is somewhat accurate.

[@jamalcalypse]

I remember when I was first getting into emulation the rom file size difference between PS1 and N64 blew my mind. It was easier to setup N64 on something because the games were never bigger than 25MB, as opposed to a single PS1 game pushing 500MB, and I wonder how much that accounted for the selection of games on the Classic.

[@agonleed3841]

I think the problem is they KNEW this, KNEW that we had capabilty of just getting other games, and never acknowldged it. Not like they had this promotion of "And a drive/usb port to add even MORE games"

[@MrMarinus18]

Really? I had heard that many felt it was the other way around. Since the N64 has quite a bit more power than the PS1 does and also has a lot stranger architecture.

[@X2011racer]

@@MrMarinus18 The N64 may be more powerful, but like the Wii U, it's super slow due to a flaw that cancels out the power advantage.

[@MrMarinus18]

@@X2011racer It wasn't super slow. The flaw did make it that the power couldn't be used to it's maximum but it's performance was still quite a bit beyond that of the PS1. That's why porting N64 games to the PS1 was almost never done because the console just wasn't powerful enough.

[@X2011racer]

@@MrMarinus18 Doesn't explain why the PS1 versions of certain games such as Gex: Enter the Gecko, Hydro Thunder, and Rayman 2 were much faster than their N64 versions. Not sure about Glover though; There's a PS1 version, but that's more of a developer issue as it had lots of missing content and graphics.

[@rodmunch69]

Sony is a bankrupt company without Playstation, so they milk the Playstation name for every penny they can get - they really have no choice if they're to stick around. Just look at PS VR, they put that out to push some units, but also had zero faith in the device which is why there are no big Sony exclusives for it - it was a cash grab to make some easy money on the VR trend without risking much. Here they just downloaded an emulator and spent about 15 minutes loading up some ROMs and saying, yep, it launched, and then put a BUY NOW sticker on it. This is the future of Sony, they have to sell, sell, sell, because their TV, A/V, computer, portable devices and phone division are all huge money losers.

[@PhoenixNL72-DEGA-]

There was a time when Sony produced a shit ton of components that were used in the products other sold. For instance Sony Trinitron CRT tubes were a big thing and widely used by other brands in their TVs. Unfortunately for Sony they didn't have a good follow up product when everything went flat screen, and Samsung and LG ran away with the LCD and LED screen production market.

[@rodmunch69]

@@PhoenixNL72-DEGA- To me it was the mid-90s that Sony became the modern Sony that exist today. They went from a premium brand to a brand you can walk into Wal-Mart and buy - AND they tried to compete at lower price points. In the 80s, as a kid, buy Sony was like buying Apple today, you paid more, but you expected a premium experience. But in the 90s, in order to sell in Wal-Mart, they started putting their name on lesser and lesser devices, to the point where Sony was competing with Sonyo for sales, and that's not a good thing. Anywho LG was amazingly know as one of the biggest @$@# brands out there in the 90s under their name Goldstart, a truly awful welfare slob level product. Anywho Sony isn't a bottom of the barrel brand, but they're not Apple either, they're basically a middle of the road brand, mostly just generic stuff. But with Playstation, their only cash cow, they should be ultraprotective, and they're not, and I think sooner or later it's going to cost them. Which would be terrible since we need major companies duking it out in gaming if we want to keep pushing affordable game tech.

[@djlobb]

@@rodmunch69 I wouldn't use Apple as an example... Buying Apple today is NOT like buying Apple 15 years ago... They make disposable shit that can't be upgraded or repaired and overheats due to under-engineered thermals. The only saving grace is their iPad/iPhone. The only reason I use a Mac is because I use Logic Pro. Also don't forget Sony still make the best CMOS camera sensors on the market (Which is why Samsung, Apple and others use them.) They also make fantastic OLED TV's (with LG-made OLED panels) that are great in their own right, with features like surprisingly good speakers built into the display, great image processing etc.

Chris, the reason this is done is usually for restrictive DRM and not because the game benefits from it in any way.
