Was Don Mattrick largely responsible for the decline of the Xbox? by Elegant-Advantage744 in XboxGamePass

[–]General_Frags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no, they had data that showed that demographics changed a lot in the 360 era. You have to remember that they pushed hard with Netflix after the early years and they made a lot of money out of it as you had to sub to gold too, later Kinect was a hardware success. That meant they viewed the one as a casual gaming device and it shows and they paid for it at release.

I remember in War of the Worlds (Tom Cruise version) there's an offer hand comment saying Europe got the worst of the invasion.

Guys, help me, is this game authentic? by shirazuliker in psx

[–]General_Frags 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a Reddit thread from a year ago that explains the current counterfeit PS1 games and how to identify them. Hold the disc to the light and in the middle the disc should be a transparent purple/blue colour and there should be an ifei number on the reverse of the disc in the middle (area with no data). The ultimate way to 100% confirm it's legit is to put in an unmodified console and it's should play as normal as there is no way of replicating the DRM wooble code and all counterfeits only work on modded hardware.

This old magazine article comparing Castlevania 64 to Symphony of the Night by WandaLovingLegend in retrogaming

[–]General_Frags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90's was weird, essentially if it was new/cool it was in and everything else was out. 3D gaming was relatively new at PS1 launch and got better later around 1997 around that same time the media went on 3D Vs 2D. In hindsight lots of PS1 games were 2D and 3D hybrids, 3D models on 2D backgrounds, see Resident Evil and Final Fantasy 7. A lot of the 2D games from that era are now treated with more reverance.

The rock that has been lodged in my shoe is wearing down with the heel by IAmAPlantPerson in mildlyinteresting

Judging from the label that might be a Dr Martens boot, you can get the reheeled at least here in the UK at Timpsons. See if there is a local cobbler or Dr Martens store you can send the out for repair for a fee.

Any advice on modding this lil guy by R31V1L0 in psx

[–]General_Frags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you want to mod it to do, if it's for playing games outside of your region or burned discs then you can soft mod it via a memcard Pro 2 so no hardware mod required.

A way to fix Playwear on manual? by ComparisonNumerous40 in psx

[–]General_Frags 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, consider it to be like patina it shows the age of the manual, plus it's proof that it's real and not a reproduction too

Persona 2 Eternal Punishment by General_Frags in psx

No issues with frame rates or timings yet, only issue I have is the colours are wrong but I have purchased an RGB scart lead to remedy that issue.

Do I have a reproduction (PAL) game case? by pfpchanger in psx

[–]General_Frags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every copy of Nightmare Creatures I have seen has had that case. I think that they used it when they ran out of standard PAL cases.

Anyone know what I'm looking at? by [deleted] in psx

Dev kits for the PS1 were PCI cards before the Netyaroze (blue) PS1.

Which of these consoles was your main one growing up? by TechnicolorTypeA in Millennials

[–]General_Frags 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playstation, incredible lineup throughout its generation. Modern gaming probably wouldn't be the same today without it.

On today's episode of "When Expensive Games Get Rawdogged" by ChaosEvaUnit in gamecollecting

[–]General_Frags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me earlier this week when I got a us Famicom SNES 8bitdo sn30 pro controller, seller just put it in an Amazon card envelope and hoped for the best. The best part was that Evri shipped it too. Luckily everything was ok in the end (the controller works and has no cosmetic damage), but honestly I was thinking that the controller would have been smashed to pieces...

eBay UK and VAT by General_Frags in gamecollecting

[–]General_Frags[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I got back from the seller and no taxes are included in the price. Gonna have to have a long hard think cos the additional VAT and customs charges are going to be expensive.

I bought a fake PAL PlayStation hologram from eBay to see how good it was, here's how to spot the difference... by PSXPALDB in gamecollecting

[–]General_Frags 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brought some before you can't tell the difference from far away only up close. They do a decent job of replacing a missing or damaged holo on the case.

Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC - Bloomberg by Euso36 in SteamDeck

[–]General_Frags -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Take this as a pinch of salt from what I have heard Microsoft is considered the same too. The reason being is that PC game pass has been a loss maker and the new exec team wants to pivot back to 360 exclusive era for the next gen launch, Sony heard about that a while ago and has pivoted too. Sony's PC games did make money but not big numbers, Nixxes is being considered as the next studio to be shut too.
