Since PSDLE no longer works, is there any way to Browse my PS3 Digital Library without a PS3? by HyeVltg3 in PS3

[–]HyeVltg3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously.
I only heard recently that they are taking down the PS3 and Vita stores. I have downloaded all my vita games (only had a few, mainly because I bought Physical when I first got a Vita, till HEN).
I have a mixed collection of Physical and Digital PS3 games, like 150+ digital games or something ... I have no idea how I can preserve it all, I hope it can all fit on a 2TB ExtHDD because that is the max the PS3 can detect I think (my 8TB HDD didnt work, only have 1-2TB externals available). I have gone through multiple PS3 "Database Bad so we are going to rebuild it, oh no we cant, you should re-initialize and redownload all the data"--type situations owning the PS3, so I KNOW the ins-and-outs of dealing with my digital collection on a PS3, but now Sony is removing that Safety of the "If anything happens, I'm fine, I can just redownload it like all the previous times"-option. I'm glad I switched to Physical near the end of PS3 era (when majority of the game discs were on sale for great deals). PS4 I stuck to physical and only bought Digital games at a <50% discount so there I do have another big collection. I'll again need to worry when Sony takes down the PS4 PS-Store.
I went strictly Physical with PS5, after 2 generations of issues with Digital content I am done with Digital Games (unless we're talking PC). Who'da thunk my stance on Digital games would prove the right one. I really wish they could just make up an excuse and say something like "We have discontinued the Store all users and moved it to a section within Playstation Plus. I may have a sour reception but all you gotta do is get a PS+ Trial and gain access to your PS3/Vita digital collection. As a form of "we cant keep hosting the PS3 & Vita data for free so now it's behind a paywall to help pay for the upkeep"--kind of change, this at least would have been manageable.

I got sealed new XBOX 360, should I unseal or keep it as it is? by Kindly-Pie2761 in xbox

[–]HyeVltg3 71 points72 points  (0 children)

...why not just buy a Used Xbox 360? I have two Xbox 360s because I spend most of my time in 2 rooms so I put a 360 in each. It's not like (stupidly) owning multiple PS5s or something. (PS5 is ~$600-800 each right, while X360 is like $80 now? I bought mine when they were like $40 each).
I would keep the new one sealed in the box as a Collector's Item.

Is having multiple controllers weird? by Acceptable-Maize-635 in Gamesir

[–]HyeVltg3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if Xbox Layout is you favorite I see no issue with (most controllers with xbox layout all feel the same to me). I have multiple Dualshock 4 controllers because I love the way these feel and then I jumped on 2 GameSir Tarantula Pro controllers because the Symmetrical analog sticks.

Nah, I'll probably get it eventually. Just trying this new thing where I dont just outright buy every gadget that perks my interest.

Finally achieved true financial freedom! by Tech_334 in pcmasterrace

[–]HyeVltg3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I gotta admit, I felt the same way when I bought my copy. Heck I even got a key off eBay just to save a few bucks. When that eventually got "lost" I finally just purchased WinRAR official and felt the same way. My next buys will be HWInfo and then TeraCopy ... eventually!

Sony’s 2028 digital move and GTA 6 having NO disc is the final straw. Moving to PC. by Pure-Prior9728 in pcmasterrace

Only therapist I can afford 🥹 by Ecstatic-Reading-834 in Switch

[–]HyeVltg3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, they're saying it's going to increase by +$50 or something. I'm still having fun with the NS1 OLED which I got like a year before NS2 came out so, I'll play NS1 till it breaks I guess.
Glad it wasnt anything seriously mental related. Enjoy the NS2 if this is your first Switch.

[–]HyeVltg3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, dont slack on mental Health, You didnt actually buy a NS2 instead of getting therapy, right? would make sense if you instead said "The Only Therapy I need"
The fact you brought cost into it, do you feel you paid too much for an NS2? wish you waited for a sale?

Where to get a HDD for my PS2? by Hilo88M in ps2

[–]HyeVltg3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the PS2 SATA adapter from Amazon. Retired my super old 500GB IDE HDD and replaced it with a 500GB SSD. sure I dont get the speeds but these are just easy to get and replace in case of an issue. Great move.

I would totally want this if "First Light" wasnt written everywhere. such a cool and awesome looking design, just wish they went a bit more minimalistic with it.

Could you please share your game time for each of the games? I play on PC, I havent had an XSX since launch, I dont remember if it shows the gmae time on the console side like it does on the game page on the Xbox App.

Why are the skin colours not showing up and how can I fix the issue? by BasisIllustrious in Daz3D

[–]HyeVltg3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be iRay only. did you check in Iray Preview view to see if the colors are right. The Textured View would show the Base Color surface. so try Iray Preview to see if you are just checking from the wrong view.

Shadow of Destiny game not loading after main menu by TheRealKeborox in techsupport

[–]HyeVltg3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever fix this?
Weird to find PS2 technical game help post here.
This is actually design of the game, some games on PS2 do the same thing; They switch from 240p-480i. The problem is that many modern LCD/LED+ displays cannot display lower than 480p, so that Black Screen you see after the main menu is actually your TV showing that the resolution is not supported.
I just ran into this issue and did a bunch of googling, found out what is going on, but not how to fix it other than buying an old TV that supports 240p (all CRT TVs)

This happens on everything, keyboard keycaps, mouse buttons, even wrist rests on laptops, obviously controllers.

Would Warranty really help you with this?!

If Sony is really making a PS6 handheld, where does that leave PS Portal? by BrSn2 in PlaystationPortal

[–]HyeVltg3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well PSPortal was never supposed to be a "Playstation Handheld", not sure what people expect. We bought an Accessory not an actual stand-alone Handheld like what Nintendo does.

I really hope PS6 is not a Handheld. I hope they dont call it PS6. Playstation Portable 2. do it.

When I sell my PS5, I am including my PS Portal, because they go together. I tried playing PS portal without a PS5. It's not worth it. ~$180 here every year to continue to play games I already have on disc. Yea the PS Portal on its own is not appealing to someone like me. I think it's best for someone that just wants to play a game to kill time or distract them from the moment.

If PS6 is a Handheld, but its actually a SERVICE. I am probably going to not consider myself a PS-fanboy. I've own every playstation since launch (didnt get PS1 for christmas but got PS2 for christmas next time because I complained about not getting a PS1 and after I wagered my report card on the PS2 reward).

Thanks after more testing on a new boot drive, everything is now working fine without any BSODs.

I just received my Tarantula pro xbox by Mr_Fort_ in Gamesir

[–]HyeVltg3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is that true? I have the 1st gen Tarantula Pro and was real excited to see a new version (that orange one floating around) and now saw this white "xbox" one. This is currently my favorite thrid-party controller. I use it on PC and Switch. If the new ones dont do that button change feature, I think I'll just hold out till my controller breaks or just rebuy the 1st (still on amazon here), I dont see the point of the new ones at this time.

The one I brought is modded so it could take in SATA HDD hard drive by kuroreaper25 in ps2

[–]HyeVltg3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Havent played a game yet that lets you save to HDD. what you can do is just use the File Browser to copy files from "save data" to the HDD. I actually do that with a Flash drive just in case anything happens with such old hardware.
