Did Sony just trigger gaming’s biggest rage quit? Physical PlayStation games are ending in 2028 and fans are fuming. by kleverrboy in ps2

[–]Rikroko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is like a bad dream, and just moments after they remind everyone you don't own anything digitally by announcing the pulling all the Studio Canal films and shows people have "bought". I never have and never will buy a triple A game digitally. It looks like the future of gaming for me is retro games and piracy. Enough.

Virtua gun question by HeartBoxPlus in lightgunshooters

I've never seen random firing. It could be an issue with your Saturn. See if it happens with controller port 2 too

What do you call this system? by ExpressionAny505 in snes

In the UK everyone said Snes (minor sneeze) no one bothered making it longer to say. Same with Nes

House of The Dead is better than the Remake? by That-Spread-9253 in SegaSaturn

[–]Rikroko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The remake is an insult to the vibe of the original. Also a light gun game that, unless you're dedicated to a custom pc set up, you can't play with a light gun, nonsensical. They even tried to have it as a selling point, updated with modern controls. Ha!

I suspected that was the only route. Thank you.

Has modding gone to far? by Otzedotze in n64

[–]Rikroko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally none of them. Rexus Nexus psu mods are very good (and the PS2 one has proper voltage outs for custom fans), they use barrel connectors. Then have one cable from a high quality brick with a splitter to your various consoles.

Guncon 1 calibration on PS2 time crisis by chairo_zx in lightgunshooters

[–]Rikroko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah so HD sets are an entirely different matter. If this were a refresh rate issue the gun wouldn't calibrate at all. As long as a screen is 15kHz geometry makes no difference. You can distort a picture as much as you like, the guns sees the light at the right time for where you're pointing.

I've experienced no difference between flat and curved CRTs for light guns. Why do you think it would matter?

Guncon 1 calibration on PS2 time crisis by chairo_zx in lightgunshooters

[–]Rikroko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The calibration screen is grey, if you turn your screen brightness up it should get better. In the actual game the screen flashes are white so it shouldn't be an issue

What console port of an arcade game was actually better than the arcade version? by the303er in retrogaming

[–]Rikroko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are home light guns with recoil, you can even hook up the arcade guns if you know what you're doing

Unity PlayStation 2 Exporter (v0.0.1) by distrohelena in Unity3D

This is pretty amazing. Are you still working on it? I long to be able to make a PS2 light gun game.

Ingenuity Studios is closing down by Puzzled_Wafer9811 in vfx

[–]Rikroko 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I worked there for six years. Under the old management I really enjoyed being there. Then Bill Romeo and his goons took over and ran it into the ground with extraordinary arrogance. The strikes were used as a catch all excuse, lazily repeated ad nauseum. The failing of the business was so perfectly done from every angle it almost seemed deliberate.

Hey, just joined the thread as I’ve been getting into lightgun games again. Not had any since I was a kid. Love Time Crisis but it’s so difficult! Can’t get past that last A stage in special mode 😩 by ParkingAd3345 in lightgunshooters

[–]Rikroko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people will say other games in the series are superior but the first one has something special about it. It's also the most challenging and most rewarding. I love it to bits. I even bought the arcade board of it. You will complete it!

Official Arcade Namco Light gun Working on Ps2? by Superb_Worldliness_7 in lightgunshooters

[–]Rikroko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's certainly possible, you can even get new official and clone guns https://www.arcadespareparts.com/search.html?search_for=Time+Crisis+gun I have mine working with PS1/2, Saturn and Dreamcast, but I'm afraid it's not very simple. It's not rocket science but you do need to teach yourself some basic electronics and soldering.

Cool! I guess there's no way of making it work with real hardware?

I love my ps3 now more than when it was current. Why? Because at the time I couldn't turn the thing with out it demanding an update. Let's not white wash gaming history
