I'm not much of a hardwarefag beyond wanting to own basic stock consoles (of which I pretty much already have all that I want, outside of a GameGear, Mark III/MS, and Virtual Boy), so this PlayStation TV is one of the few things here which really catches my eye.

You don't want a Virtual Boy, all of its games run and feel better on modern hardware, like a VR headset or even your phone. It truly was an uncomfortable piece of shit that isn't worth hunting down even just for the novelty of trying it. The controller is complete fucking ass as well.

This is a lie. MAYBE VR headset comes closest, but anything else does not replicate the actual feel of using the real deal.

[Anonymous No.10573253]

>>10573220
Idk wtf your issue is with the controller, its almost universally considered the best thing about the system to the point people have made adaptors to use it on other hardware.

As for comfortable playing positions, the ideal and natural way is to have it on a stand or tall table that you can slightly lean the VB onto your face. If you are bending your neck down, you are doing it wrong. Eblows pressed down on the stand surface, controller in front or behind the system, my personal preference is holding it behind. I wont deny the system has setting up that may take a bit to get comfortable with, but i was fortunate enough to have just the right piece of furniture to make it completely comfortable to use, it just takes a little experimenting. Alternatively, just laying it on your head while laying down works fine also, though you may want a small piece of foam for the nose piece if playing for long periods.

As far as original hardware preference, emulation does not replicate the feel of using the system with the visor and its sensory deprivation of the rest of the world beyond the game. MAYBE VR does it justice now, but i would still be weary of it till i get to personally try it to see if it captures the same visual effect of the real thing seeing as the original is not the same thing as what modern VR effects accomplish.

probably because the license for DVD playback was expensive at the time, that's why on the original Xbox it requires the media remote and dongle to enable it DVD playback functionality, Microsoft only had to pay the license for the dongles rather than for every single Xbox which saved them a lot of money while still being able to tout being able to play DVD's, presumably the license got a lot cheaper by the time the Xbox 360 came out since it can do DVD's right out of the box

interestingly it seems Sony aren't immune to having to pay their own licenses for DVD and Blu-Ray playback, as both the PS4 and PS5 require an online connection the first time you try to play disc based media(or if you bought the digital only version of the PS5 and are attaching the optional disc drive they sell for it) presumably as a license activation measure so Sony only has to pay itself for consoles that bother using it for watching physical media

They *did* mass produce them. They sold 100,000 units worldwide. But it wasnt enough, and they cancelled production. Nintendo said sales were too low. It was simply too expensive. IIRC it was around $400 dollars to buy one brand new.

Speak for yourself, language has nothing to do with physical comfort. You've tacitly admitted you've never personally held the controller yourself and merely claim the appearance of being uncomfortable. In reality it's quite comfortable to hold batteries or not. When set on the edge of a table and raised to eye level the system is no more strenuous than any other tabletop activities like reading a book or writing notes. The "magic" was a joke at the expense of your ignorance.

I'm actually a little confused but this was almost thirty years ago. She was so excited thinking the VB would be the perfect gift, but when I came across it and expressed disappointment, cause she confused me playing the demo station to try it out as me actually enjoying it, and then the next year it was such a fucking argument about why I'm asking for the Nintendo 64 when I apparently hate Nintendo games now. My mother also has BPD.

And now I'm remembering how at release, you literally could not buy a single game for the N64 in my city, anywhere. The only stores carrying them were Sears, Zellers, K-Mart, and Toys'r'Us. My mother spent two days driving around to every single place we could think of just to have a video game to actually play on the N64, eventually going to some shitty old VHS rental store in the corner of a building that had a copy of Pilot Wings 64 for rent ($10 for two days). Her BPD really would make her 180 from going above and beyond for me and get nasty when she would buy me things I never wanted or needed. That's the only way she showed love; By buying products.

Can you use words to describe what makes the system so uncomfortable besides your angsty childhood memories regarding your mother? I've already stated how to play the system comfortably, all you've offered in response is that the controller is heavy which doesn't make it uncomfortable in my opinion. Enlighten me.

I played the demo station at Toys'r'Us.
I hated the experience.
The controller has thin, long grips with giant, individual finger indents where holding it normally, your thumbs MAY comfortably rest over (far over) the two d-pads (which are useless as a concept for every title on the device besides Teleroboxer. But I was nine years old at the time so my hands were probably especially small. Only issue prior holding any controller was how sharp the shitty NES's corners are, they always dug into my palms.
The d-pads don't even feel right, like they're mushier versions of the GBC d-pad but with this tactile circular pattern on it like the N64's analog stick. They don't feel good at all, but thankfully you'll only be doing four inputs with either one, I don't recall needing diagonal inputs for the three games I played (Teleroboxer, Mario Clash, and Mario Tennis. The one game I did want to play, Wario Land, I never got to until emulating it 25 years later).
The symmetrical Start/Select/A/B buttons combined with the two d-pads, especially when playing Teleroboxing, had me constantly confusing them and pressing Start or Select needlessly all of the time, worseso than people had with the original phat DS's power button basically being a select button directly above its d-pad.
I don't remember the weight of it when at the demo station, and can only assume some massive pvp piping both secured and protected the demo's controller, but at home I had to use six AA batteries and that made the controller heavy as fucking shit on top of its unwieldly large size and shape. A SNES controller with a second d-pad would have been infinitely better.

And I'm a fucking faggot who adores playing Virtua-on and other two-stick arcade games. Everything about the VB controller is just fucking shit.

Thanks for the substantive criticism, >>10575206 is an illiterate assclown pretending to be me.

I never had an issue with bending my thumbs to lightly press the D-pad, I never had a problem pushing A and B nor did I confuse them for the start and select buttons. I personally found something like the Atari Jaguar to have a super mushy D-pad, I don't agree the VB D-pads are mushy. The added weight of the controller may have been an issue if you weren't playing seated with your arms resting on a table, but who knows maybe you were trying to play it standing up for whatever reason. I'll admit it's not a great controller, but I still say it's a perfectly serviceable controller and the ideal way to play VB. If you don't like weird consoles, you don't have to play them. Emulating is perfectly fine for most people, that's always been my stance.

That's a great sentiment.

Unfortunately most indie arcades wouldn't want them anymore...at least in the USA. I was talking with an indie arcade owner recently and asked him why he doesn't have bigger deluxe motion arcade machines. I even mentioned the R360.

He said he could buy them. But due to the laws in the USA changing since the 1990s, Arcades need to buy additional liability insurance coverage if they have any arcade machines that move/spin the player (not just a seat that jiggles and shakes). So people can't sue the arcade if something bad happens while playing. He also said motion arcade machines need maintenance, and he doesn't want to deal with them breaking down and repairing them. The most he was willing to deal with is a rumble seat. Nothing more than that.

But an R360 is perfect for a private collector in my opinion. Someone who takes care of it, and doesn't have to worry about the machine being worn down from constant use from the general public. I know there are dozens of private collectors who have an R360.

The Galloping Ghost Arcade in Chicago has an R360. But they are sort of a special case. The owner is extremely passionate about sharing arcade machines with people. However, their R360 requires you to set up an appointment ahead of time. You can't just walk in and use it. Because of the age of the machine, they need to do safety checks and make sure it still works fine.

Back in the 90s in a MUD I was playing I got a sword that had a chance to proc instant death on literally anything. I kept using it to kill the unkillable NPC which acted as the main hub for the server and the GM eventually had to take it away from me.

[Anonymous No.10579407]

>MUD
oh that brings back tons of memories in my own mud experience.

I was a relatively new player and I remember being online late at night. I was the only active player at that moment in the morning. An admin came online and was super drunk. And just for fun he used he admin powers and crafted one of the most powerful swords in the game and gave it to me because I was fun to talk to. Then said he wanted to get more drunk and logged off. Apparently this admin rarely logged on and was rarely seen.

Afterwards all the veteran players saw my new sword and started questioning how I could possibly get such a sword and started accusing me of cheating and lying. I told them it was a gift and they seethed hard. I then became a target for the rest of the game and so many players tried to PVP me to get my sword.

To combat this, I would teleport to a city far away, go to a specific hotel, and log off. NO ONE went here since all the activity was on the other side of the planet. I discovered that this one hotel in this city had a section where only one player was allowed in at a time. No one could follow me even if they were invisible or using stealth tech. If you tried to follow me it would say "You cannot enter this area. There is no room to follow." or something like that. Then I would log off. (You could only safely log off at designated hotel areas).

After a while I thought I was being paranoid until one of my irl friends who also played this mud with me said he privately overheard other players complaining about how I always travel to another city and use specific hotel. And that it makes it very difficult to ambush me. I knew then that I made the right call. I kept that amazing Uber sword until I quit the game a year later. Just to spite them all I kept using that hotel as a log off point.

Yes, it was that wii, it never actually made it to the queen, they don't just accept shit that got mailed to them, so it got sent back, and ended up in the hands of a private collector, which is this person I know.
It was sold on an auction site like a year and a half ago, he tried to put it on ebay first for a ridiculous amount of money, and ebay took it down because he didn't have enough feedback on his account. And he ended up selling it on a different auction site for somewhere around 30,000 bucks.
Like I said, I can't believe the guy sold it.. it was such a holy grail in terms of collector's items.

It was well known being shown in all the magazines from the time so a lot of people wanted one but very few people had a way to import one back then so when the generation started to end pretty quickly it was just forgotten until people realized that gamecube is still pretty good and what a nice way to play.

I still own an NES,SNES,Genesis, Dreamcast, PS2 fat, and modded OG Xbox. At one point, I had a lot of various consoles. I also own all of the mini systems. But they're just glorified emulation boxes. I've side loaded a couple. I've found the Genesis mini 1 and SNES having some perfected ROMS that I've dumped, to play on original hardware at some point. Reproductions are nothing new to me.
