if you like Super Street Fighter II Turbo, then you like the console versions of the movie game. The arcade game was a completely broken mess that makes no sense and plays nothing like a Street Fighter game.
Wasn't quite that bad. The arcade version wasn't developed by Capcom and I guess they decided to create a new version for the home consoles instead of porting the arcade version over. Like it's been said already, they changed the game play to something very similar to SSF2T, so we got a mediocre version of that with crappy graphics and Captain Sawada in place of Fei-Long. The arcade version was at least something different and it also looked better than the home ports. I mean, it still looked like a poor MK clone, but it was better than the PS1/Saturn versions.
I owned SF: The Movie very briefly when the PS1 came out. Toshinden got old fast and there were no other fighting games to play. MK3 was not really for me and I preferred the Genesis version to the PS1 version -the PS1 version may have looked and sounded much better, but the load times were awful- so it really wasn't until Zero Divide came out in the U.S. towards the end of 1995 and when Street Fighter Zero came out in Japan around the same time that fighting games kept me glued to the PS1.
If you like Super Street Fighter II Turbo...play Super Street Fighter II Turbo, not that digitized mess.

The arcade version is way more fun because of the broken juggle system. PS1 version is a boring digitized graphics ST that isn't nearly as good as ST.
It had regular street fighter inputs. not that "hold 2 buttons then press back and forth, then spin the joystick, release one button, press forward, release the other" shit. maybe i'm exaggerating primal rage's controls a little.

MM3 is my favorite one. Seems to be popular among series fans as well.
As far as Sony's first party controllers goes, I still like the original digital pads. You lose utility without any analog sticks and rumble, but to me they're just the most comfortable to hold. And hey; good enough for the 2014 evo champion, good enough for me.
I do think having the two sticks sticking out with games that don't use them is annoying. I always have the reflex to try to move my character with the thumbstick in FF VII, and then being irritated that I can't. I solved the problem with RPGs by using an ASCII Grip instead.

Latest pickups have all been PAL exclusives. Many of these are quality games, with Space Debris, Invasion and Viper as current favorites. Omega Assault might have the best worst PS1 cover ever, reminds me of the Mega Man NA glory days.
Biggest surprise is the Dinosaur in Action Man Destruction X. It looks great for a PS1 game, I'd say it could even pass for a PS2 era boss. Not saying the game is all that great, but the graphics are impressive for PS1.
Comparing it to the Dinosaur in Tomb Raider isn't very fair, as TR was an earlier PS1 game as opposed to a later release such as AMDX. But it's an interesting look at how far games progressed near the late side of the PS1's lifecycle.

So I have a number of games I'd like to get rid of. Was thinking about going to the B/S/T thread with them, but really have no idea how to price them. They're all in good/great condition. A couple games have cracked jewel cases, which would be replaced before selling.

I don't think any of them would call for much, but I'm sure an enthusiast would pay $20 for some of the more classic ones. Especially if your FF7 and MGS are non-GH, I'd ask $30+.
I'm debating buying The Silver Case off of ebay. No one on GAF seems to have it.
Here's a video with a lot of japanese games. It might help if you're looking for some gems.
- Turn annotations on for game names.
- Mute the video. The music is nice but it runs for an hour.

yeah, but standard PS1 prices were 5,800 and 6,800yen
7,800yen is the usual "S-E tax" (Enix at that time)

I didn't know there was a Time Gal port to PS1 and with english menus/in-game. And Road Avenger, Ninja Hayate, Cobra Command too! shit's expensive now, but cool that it exists.

they're in double packs-- Time Gal and Ninja Hayate are together. and Thunder Storm + Road Blaster in the other. The latter only being like $40 shipped. looks like BINs of Time Gal are $150-ish, but auctions only go to ~$80, so I might camp on that.
fuckin time gal....pretty fun for a FMV game.

on PS Archives =/
Also ported to the Saturn.
Just started a game of Vagrant Story since I got my copy from a fellow GAFer today.
I only played until the first save, since it's already midnight around here, but the game seems solid so far. Didn't get much into the combat system yet, but it seems pretty unique with that whole 'attack X body part' thing.
The graphics are insanely good for a PS1 game, really, this is something else.
I'm currently playing Xenoblade 3DS, but this could be a strong contender for a next RPG to do along with Xenogears.

Thanks for posting this. Had no idea crazy Ken was involved in making the sound chip that was supposed to be in Nintendo's successor to the SNES.

Sorry, but that Destruction X game looks terrible; slow, ugly and a simple arena with a grainy backdrop and hardly any geometry. TR1 beats it any day.

tobal 2. Has a huge quest mode.
Regarding Vagrant Story: be sure that you leave the game running at the title screen for a while. There are two (three?) hidden cut-scenes that you can only view there. Also, be sure to read the game manual, and in-game instruction as some of the mechanics are not terribly obvious. Or just ask here.

Or you can just derp your way though the game with no idea why you are only doing 1 damage and missing a ton until you get a greatsword that already has some good stats on it from the forest area like I did the first time I played the game. :3
Stick with it, and ask for help if you don't understand something. Vagrant Story is like nothing else, and you're (I did anyway) going to be pissed off and confused a lot of the time, but it's so, so worth it.

I loved the way Virgin used to advertise the Resident Evil games. Often gory and shocking.
I have a few questions about GunCons. How do they work? Why do they need AV input, do they only check for the Sync pulse or is there a secret signal in there too? If I mod my PSone for Csync instead of Composite, will it still work? And if I use a Sync Stripper?
And why couldn't they make a simple lightgun like the Saturn one instead? Do you even have multiplayer shooting games on the PS1?

Multiplayer isn't a problem, as that yellow cable is pass-though. Just plug player 2 into the back of Player 1.
If you're set up with RGB, track down the SCPH-1160 accessory. I still have mine from way back in the day when I used to have to play Time Crisis over RF, but had a later model Playstation without the RCA jacks on the back. This should work on your setup.
And if it's a big enough concern you don't want to consider the Guncon, there are plenty other PlayStation lightguns that don't use the yellow av input like the Konami Hyper Blaster
Will they work with Namco games?

not according to this list

Curious on y'all's input on something. I bought a Japanese copy of Strider Hiryu 1+2 on eBay. It was listed as "complete" in the listing. The game was in a standard 2CD jewel case, in the photo, and I didn't really think anything of it.
Cut to it arriving in the mail, and I realized that something was off. The back tray liner didn't have any text on the edges and it was literally cut with scissors. I went and searched it out and sure enough, it was in one of those double cases. I should've known this (because I love them!) but didn't think of it at the time.
I reached out to the seller on Saturday night, when the game came, saying that it wasn't what I was expecting and asking if there was anything we could do about it, but they haven't got back to me yet. If they don't reply to me by tonight I'm thinking of filing a case saying that what I got wasn't what I expected... Is that too much? I don't know. I'm annoyed, and I'd really rather spend the extra $25 to get one in the right case.

It depends on the listing. Did he mention it wasn't in the original case? Saying complete kind of means complete.
If the description was misleading I'd definitely open a case with eBay. Without a second of hesitation.

What if...you use S-video, or with the PS2 component?
On S-video, you use Luma, on Component you use the green wire.
But there is an adapter available, as shown in the picture, so you don't have to worry about messing with your cables.
My concern was more about what sort of information the lightgun was taking from Composite, if it only needs the sync pulse for calibration or if there is more, like stuff encoded in the brightness signal (like needing to detect a brighness pulse on both the screen and the cable.)
