Not saying anyone here is doing this specifically but it's baffling to see the Internet get up in arms about le input lag memes on the PS1 Classic because some faggy site reported they felt lag but conveniently didn't specify which TV they were using.
I won't defend the game selection, lack of shaders, or lack of Dualshock because all of those things are shit, but input lag? come on now.

No one cares about this except bandwagoners who can't stand the thought of anything other than an HDMI cable for their "retro" game systems to show their fellow hipster friends. There is no excuse for wanting to pay $100 for an emubox PS1 emulator with first gen controllers when you can get a working and probably modchipped PS1 for $20, SCART for $20ish or official S-Video cables for $10, a power cord for $5, and two dual shock controllers for $30. You can even throw in a Gameshark for another $20, or the mouse controller for $15-20. So instead of getting an emubox with 20 games and two controllers, you could have had the real system with two better controllers, all cables, and a Gameshark or the mouse for the same price.

I'm very lucky to own all the PS1 games I would ever want featured in a mini-console. Plus, I can emulate them all to get the highest possible graphical output.

This novelty would have been the perfect opportunity to feature the games that cost an arm and a leg to track down like Symphony of the Night and Klonoa and Marvel vs Capcom.

It just seems really out of touch and arrogant. It's also very clear how much Nintendo is concerned with delivering a quality product.

Wrong. Nostalgia sells on its own and companies consistently prove that they don't need to put in any effort at all. Just look at Pokémon Let's Go - it's a $60 Switch remake of Pokémon Yellow that has the same graphics as the 3DS games while actually removing features from the game it's remaking (Like the Safari Zone).

If you have an established fanbase you can sell literally anything to them and make money because hardcore fans have no standards.

I wish they had added the texture smoothening feature of the PS2 and PS3.

And I get that they have to spend fuckloads in licenses to get use of games like FFVII, but I would have liked to also see Sony properties like Legend of Dragoon as well as oddities like Raystorm, Castlevania SOTN, a TR game, and MDK.

Legend of Dragoon is one of the best JRPGs of that gen and Sony owns it wholly so it costs them nothing to use it, yet they left it out. I don't get it.

People where pissed about it not being a dualshock when the thing was announced because they knew that it would limit the games that would be on it. People are probably still pissed for the same reason. If it had been a dualshock then they might have had better games than the shit they actually included. It's just one issue among many that points to the whole thing being a lazy cash grab.

50hz isnt the issue. its the companies making lazy ports and not correcting the speed of the games to compensate. luckily not an issue anymore

that being said some pal games are easier to emulator for that reason and i assume that would be why they got included.

also tekken was the game reviewers where complaining about, which while i cant confirm the pal release is slower than the ntsc release. tekken as always felt like it was laggy and like it played underwater.

also anyone know if the usb controllers are getting sold separately?

You can tell following these threads who is economically illiterate when they honestly believe because you can buy some guy’s ratty, worn out used playstation for $20 off craigslist that somehow sourcing parts and manufacturing a brand new console should be cheaper than that. Yes Sony might be padding the cost a bit compared to the Nintendo minis but until I see what $$$ Square and Konami demanded for just the FF7 and MGS licenses alone I won’t judge them. I’ve also seen Sony advertising this thing hard on TV and what not which shows they are NOT treating this as some afterthought, when did you ever see a TV ad for the NES mini? If anything they’re trying TOO hard when Nintendo relied on word-of-mouth.

How were those consoles not a quality product? The Gamecube was impressively compact, had reasonably good performance for its time, and was physically durable.

The Wii was aesthetic in its stand, came with innovative features like motion controls which were poorly implemented in many games but some games did use it properly (Metroid Prime 3, etc). Unlike the 360 it actually came with built in wi-fi which is pretty good for the time.

Wii U I agree was a bit dodgy but technically speaking it's not as bad as many people make out. At its time of release it was literally the most power-efficient home gaming device on the market, which obviously many people didn't give a shit about, but Nintendo assumed would be something energy-conscious Japanese players would like.

Switch has kinda dodgy build quality but the mobile graphics are pretty good. Nintendo went with the best solution available on the market. I know a lot of people were bitching that they didn't go with the Tegra version 2 chip but at that time it was only available for cars not for mobile devices.

And I don't really need to justify the DS as that was also an amazing leap forward for handheld gaming.

Perhaps you want me to justify the Wii? A Blue Ocean console that seemed a lot more stable than its contemporaries plagued with the red ring of death or difficult-to-develop-for Cell technology.

Maybe you want me to justify the WiiU? A poorly timed console that was hurt by the adoption of smart phones and the introduction of the iPad but the only console of this generation that has embedded social features that actually got used and were enjoyable to use.

Yeah Nintendo was garbage from the GC on. Each of these consoles offered the least amount of exclusives due to Nintendos hostility to third party developers, leading to them having the smallest libraries of their generation. Especially if you didn't want to buy the same tired IPs rehashed yet again. The GameCube lacked the software features that Sony and Microsoft had, I mean they didn't even put in online functionality - they expected individual publishers to pick up the slack and set it up themselves! Classic Nintendo developer hostility.

The Wii was a system sold on a gimmick. Not only was it the weakest graphically of its generation, it had the worst home media interface (like GameCube), the worst online out of the three consoles, and sold on the whole waggle stick gimmick.

The WiiU was a mess from start to finish. There's a 2000 word limit on posts, so I'll just summarize by saying there's a reason it was panned by almost everyone but the most diehard Nintendo fanboys. A lot of people didn't even realize it was a separate console from the originals wii, but that's more of a marketing issue than anything.

And that brings us to the Switch. A console that innovates nothing - it tries to move units based on a gimmick. Pretty much having an iPad with 720p you can take in public. That's it. No exciting new IPs or anything of that nature. It's Nintendo being lazy and resting on their laurels, if a new company tried to float the Switch you know it would have failed. Nostalgia is the only thing keeping this company alive, not innovation.

Not really, it was genuinely trying to make gaming more accessible and also experiment with better control methods. The Wii Remote worked well for shooters.

It was cheaper though, and had perfect backwards compatibility

>it had the worst home media interface
Both the Wii and 360 used DVDs. Actually the Wii DVDs stored more data because the 360 DVDs had some kind of shitty security system which consumed a lot of disk space.

I'm not even sure of the point of one of these. PS2 and PS3 run Playstation 1 games directly off the disks and I'm pretty sure all these games can be downloaded off the Sony store.

This isn't like Nintendo, where they refuse to sell their old games in bundles like say, Sega does.

no, every mini console is only good as a present for a kid but this one is too expensive
anyway except the lineup this console is as bad as a SNES mini, your pic is not retro and your list is shit:
- opensource emulator is better than proprietary and you listed the problem twice
- the SoC is at least powerful as the SNES mini (probably more as snes mini cannot emulate every psx game)
- I don't get how the inclusion of tekken 3 is bad, who cares about PS store? do you really pay for digital copies?
- PAL games have increased resolution, I need a source about NTSC ones requiring less powerful hardware
- at least controllers are USB and not some snowflake standard and the driver (if needed) will be included in linux in not time, I don't care about wincucks

I think the most confusing part here is that Sony's already released a tiny home console that plays PlayStation games flawlessly.

It's the PS TV, and it's almost five years old by now. It also came bundled with a superior DS3.

Surely they could've just repurposed that shit, instead of producing new hardware that doesn't work right at all?

OK so what people don't like about the playstation classic is the limited amount of games on it, the fact there's no AC adapter included, the kinds of games that are included, the fact it runs on an emulator so it's more or less something you pay for that you might as well can download for free and you have to rely on something else to add other games and all in all, it's more or less a novelty or something to scalp/hoard/show off or whatever?

OK but what makes that different from say the NES and SNES Classic? What does that make it different from the Commodore mini that also got released a while ago? And while we're at it, even the aforementioned examples I just mentioned came in existence MUCH later than those cheap Megadrives and Atari things they've sold in stores for ages. In short, why is everybody on the internet so mad about the playstation classic if all those bad things were just as much a problem as with earlier releases? And I don't mean just on this board but everywhere like on other sites. If anything the playstation classic gives you USB port controllers, something you don't get with comparable things. I don't know about you but if I could choose between controllers with USB or with Wiimote ports I'd know what I'd pick.

All of that being said, I personally think all those miniature consoles are dumb and unnecessary to people who've been into /vr/ for longer than a year but I just find it hypocritical that people shit on the playstation one while the rest of them have got the same problems, if not even more and people barely say anything about it (well except here on /vr/ of course).

>better selection of games
that's subjective and you know it
>better emulation
Nintendo has never been picky about emulation, see the VC releases and the GBA releases of several NES and SNES games and even then I doubt it's even remotely comparable to say Nintendulator or Higan
>the proper controllers
I'm sorry but I don't see what you're getting at here. You can easily play the vast majority of PSX games on an original playstation controller. It's like saying the NES Classic was incomplete because it didn't come with the Zapper or that the SNES one needed to have the mouse. Most games don't even need the sticks on the dualshock controller and the few that do are easily playable on emulators and original playstations - not counting re-releases on digital stores.

So tell me, how is the playstation classic worse than those other two again?

>>5196652

Even some more things why this shit sucks hard, if it is not public known yet:

1. Couldn't power it over USB from my TV. So it need way more power than NES mini etc.
2. For some reason doesn't seem to proper work over a HDMI-Switch, so a direct connection is better.
3. It's known that the west version is mostly PAL, but Persona is not, mainly because it only was released in the US for English. But why not ship with both versions of the other games then. Memory isn't that fucking expensive.
4. You can choose Japanese for menu etc. but of course no Japanese versions of the games.
5. The graphics are ugly and not "PS1"-Standard-Style and the translations of the Menu like "Start" for game is in some language weird.
6. ???
7. Fuck this shit.

Fuck you Sony.

sure, that's my choice too, I'm just laughing at nintendo fans defending their "quality" products
I like nintendo games but the hypocrisy of using pirated roms while at the same time taking down sites hosting them is inexcusable
before you smartasses say something smug: I already have all the rom sets I care about, but their behaviour is still disgusting and make things more difficult for kids that want to play some classics like I did back in the day

I'm not gonna buy the console because honestly it seems like it's a much better deal to buy a PS3 that can nicely emulate PS1 games, a PS Vita or a PSP, or heck, even a fucking budget smartphone can do good enough these days with a gamepad attached to it.

Virtually the same, I have an original that is barely used because it was my "player 2" controller.

I'd say personally the Classic's even better because the face buttons aren't as spongey as the original, you get a real tactile click when you depress them which for me feels better because you know when you've made an input whereas with the original I'd be pressing real hard at times for fear of not registering an input.

Give it 5 more day for hacking in more games, so far results seem to suggest it seems straight forward enough just working out the exact details of how it's programmed.

No it is not. GS is quite obviously built on top of the original PS1 GPU design, the blending modes alone give it away.

One of the differences are that every GS texture unit has a filtering unit built into it. This is why the PS2 has an option to bilinear filter PS1 games, because it was trivial to implement in hardware.

You don't have a shred of actual evidence to support this, while my speculation is at least well grounded.

The GS has many unusual characteristics/design choices that would simply not exist if it wasn't designed to also run PS1 software. To suggest otherwise requires good hard evidence, because the contrary would imply that Sony/Toshiba's engineers were complete idiots.

Looks like you cherry picked or omitted this part though.

>They simply integrated the MIPS-IOP in the PPC-IOP. But why?! Most likely the reason was in order to fix compatibility problems that had arisen in the previous IOP revisions in the SCPH-70000 models.
That suggests that the earlier version of the PPC did not contain a MIPS core. But it still begs the question, if Sony could still fabricate the MIPS core, why did they use a PPC core and not just keep the slims consistent with the fat PS2s which just had a MIPS.

The answer seems pretty obvious to me. The MIPS APU would not be a full implementation, but a cloned portion of the original MIPS pipeline (enough not to infringe MIPS’s patents and intellectual property) to handle some ops that the PPC was not accurately emulating in earlier iterations. So at best the PPC is still emulating, if only for some ops and not others.

>Mind calling him a fucking retard too while you'll be at it?
Careful that you don’t misinterpret the guesstimations of random forum posters. The reason EE would have to stay active in my GS model is because it has to act as a bus arbiter between the MIPS/PPE and GS.

As far as the MIPS/PPE is aware, the EE *is* the GPU, because on a real PS1 the MIPS and the GPU are directly connected. In reality on the PS2, the EE in PS1 mode uses the GS like a co-processor (instructions sent to EE are simply forwarded to GS). Accordingly there is no inconsistency between what I am saying and what your posters say.

The PS2 is incapable of displaying anything that is not in the VRAM which is not memory mapped or accessible to EE. Even in this “EE rasterises everything” theory, the EE would still need to forward the framebuffer to GS to copy into VRAM.

At this point your theory becomes quite ridiculous. What is the point of Sony including the original PS1 CPU if GPU was going to be in software?

So fucking what? That can just mean that the 70000 used a different chip to the 75000 which is exactly what he said. And then what IO chip did the SCPH-70000 use? The original MIPS or an earlier chip that attempts to emulate it?

The question is still begged, why does the PPC exist if Sony could just fabricate the entire MIPS chip? It makes no sense whatsoever.

>except the part where he (the creator of PS1VModeNeg among other things) mentioned multiple times that EE emulates the GPU
Yeah, and you're misinterpreting what they are saying (admittedly they are saying it very vaguely). The EE is emulating the PS1 GPU.... *as far as the MIPS/PPE is concerned* but not actually *rasterizing* PS1 games. That is to say, it is emulating the *identity* of the PS1 GPU rather than its actual functions.

Anonymous Sat Dec 8 12:20:31 2018 No.5205994

(cont)

Sorry for calling you a moron, but there are so many fucking reasons why "EE rasterizes PS1 games" is a dumb theory.

1) Why did Sony include the original MIPS when GTE is a waste of silicon for IO and it was becoming an obsolete chip. It would have been cheaper/easier to just use some ARM for IO.

If going by the software approach, EE would be perfect to emulate the CPU as well. EE has MIPS core to emulate PS1's MIPS, VU0 can emulate GTE, and VU1 can emulate GPU. But even by your theory Sony didn't do this.

Instead, it makes more sense that as little software emulation as possible is used. Original PS1 MIPS + PS1 GPU derived GS + PS1 SPE derived PS2 SPE.

2) GS has loads of PS1 GPU like behavior. Its basically blending modes that behave exactly like PS1 + alpha blending. Its gouraud shading has the exact same perspective bug at extreme angles as PS1. Hell, even the mipmapping on GS determines mip levels in a strangely truncated way as if it was recovered from silicon cut out of the final PS1 GPU fabrication.

3) If PS1 GPU is emulated by EE, why are enhancements only limited to texture filtering? Incidentally texture filtering is *the* easiest and most trivial enhancement to integrate into native hardware emulation as if it were run on GS...

4) Does EE also emulate PS1 audio? I guess it probably does, ignoring the fact that the PS2's SPE is literally two PS1 SPEs + minor enhancements duct-taped together (much like GS is eight PS1 GPUs + enhancements duct-taped together). Oh wait, not using SPE when it's there would be fucking stupid.

Full software emulation is buggy. See POPS, that one emulates the PS1 fully and its compatibility is garbage.
>2) GS has loads of PS1 GPU like behavior.
One reason could be that Toshiba is garbage at making GPUs. You might recall pre-release rumors about PS3 not having any GPU that were caused because Toshiba was tasked to create a GPU for it, however they couldn't make it in time. The other reason could be patenting issues with other 3D accelerator companies of its time holding key patents, such as 3dfx, Nvidia etc.
>3) If PS1 GPU is emulated by EE, why are enhancements only limited to texture filtering?
SCE was asked about this in the pre-release articles, with the answer being that even though they could include further enhancements, they don't want to introduce glitches and break compatibility with some software.

Well that is strange indeed that he talked about the MIPS core being integrated into the PPC to improve compatibility because the SCPH-70000 ran PS1 games better than the SCPH-75000. Something doesn't add up here.

>Mind explaining me how can one extract something like that from this sentence?
It doesn't state what exactly is being emulated. They don't even know themselves or have evidence showing what is being emulated, other than some vague notions of EE being involved in PS1 backwards compatibility which is, of course, true.

The fact that a different DMA channel (SIF2) is used for PS1 backwards compatibility than normal IO operation actually supports my theory because typically the IO processor would not have its commands directly interfaced straight into GS. If the IO processor was just trying to talk with EE as normal than the typical DMA channel SIF1 would have been adequate.

>One reason could be that Toshiba is garbage at making GPUs
Except they had nothing to do with the PS1 GPU. Patent issues wouldn't explain also why the GS matches PS1 behavior in some things so very closely.

>with the answer being that even though they could include further enhancements, they don't want to introduce glitches and break compatibility with some software.
There are some enhancements that have only a low probability of breaking software like increasing resolution. Of course that would require extra hardware power which is not achievable if running without software emulation...

>Ofc. it doesn't
Why not? It makes little sense to me why GPU would be emulated but not SPU.

I've seen this mentioned also in regards to POPS in PSP and how it's running the code natively. It's not, it's running a dynarec. Sure, you can run the code natively, however you'll run into timing as well as architecture issues. The IOP doesn't get underclocked in PS1 mode from 37.5 MHz to 33.8688 MHz just because they can.

Except the MIPS end of things doesn't need patching because it's the original CPU. What needs patching is the GPU end of things (even if it was GS doing it because it's merely a subset of PS1 GPU rather than a copy of it). However, if the EE is rasterizing in software then there is no need for the PPC to be involved for patching, because the EE could do it.

>So the SIF2 (DMA) registers are almost certainly not used from neither IOP nor EE side for PS1 GPU emulation
Well whatever is the case, it's not typical I/O <-> EE communication.

>And there have been talks about making a mod of PS1DRV to increase the resolution to 480p.
That would just be a GS output hack like the existing "progressive scan" patches for PS2 games. Just like those patches, it wouldn't actually achieve *true* 480p but more of a linedoubling effect. Implementing real progressive scan was difficult on PS2 which is the reason many PS2 games didn't support it.

>I've seen this mentioned also in regards to POPS in PSP and how it's running the code natively. It's not
While this is true, there is still tremendous architectural compatibility. The instruction set can be mapped 1:1. The only thing major things that would need to be accounted for is timing and the different pipelining.

That's entirely untrue. Many PS2 games rendered internally at resolutions such as 640x512, 512x512, 512x448 etc. (in some cases x511, x447 etc. to blur the image) with only a part of them doing the actual field rendering that results in line doubling if forced to output 480p. Those patches, and GSM, work properly simply because the entire frame is already rendered in the VRAM, but displayed in 2 passes. Not sure where did you get that progressive scan was difficult on PS2.
>The only thing major things that would need to be accounted for is timing and the different pipelining.
And yet Sony couldn't manage to do it properly. Damn, it's as if it's quite a challenge to do that. I'll msg him if he's willing to do a detailed writeup on how does the emulation work, both PS1DRV and POPS.

Except either way it's interfacing with EE which is running software that can itself interpret/modify anything that is being sent from I/O.

>Not true, it'd be an actual upscale.
So not native 480p then?

>Not sure where did you get that progressive scan was difficult on PS2
It's difficult on PS2 because for it not to look shitty your front buffer needs to have a horizontal resolution of 640, and neither the front or back buffers have to be field-rendered. VRAM space is very limited on PS2 which is why this did not often occur. PS2 developers did not implement progressive scan not because they were lazy fucks who needed their work completed by homebrew ROM hackers but because it was a genuine challenge.

Many PS2 games that don't do the old field-rendering approach still sometimes alternate with an interlaced front buffer every other frame despite having a full size back buffer.

The GS hacks are simply video output hacks that change how the existing framebuffers are displayed (e.g. eliminating double buffering) or line-double interlaced framebuffers which'll give you 480p but a trashy image. There are actual patches which hex edit the framebuffer resolutions but these don't usually work for obvious reasons.

>And yet Sony couldn't manage to do it properly
It's not that they couldn't manage to do it properly, but they wanted an entirely hardware based solution. MIPS + GS dumbed down to one pixel pipeline + SPU dumbed down to half of itself.
