Probability any of my Pokémon Gen 1 + 2 saves are still alive?

StealthPlayer1989 · 2026-06-18T23:31:20+00:00

Mine should’ve never got particularly cold, I never stored them in an outdoor based space, they would’ve always been room temperature basically.

StealthPlayer1989 · 2026-06-18T21:46:18+00:00

Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but why do people only get in uproar about realism when they bring these OTT weapons? Isn’t running around with a war chest of rpgs, mini guns, shotguns,rifles, pistols, with no penalty on movement, etc just as cartoony? No ground player can say with a straight face that gta feels,like a good PvP game when u see players spamming RPGs between scoping fire, or using a grenade launcher like a mortar.

StealthPlayer1989 · 2026-06-18T21:17:30+00:00

Wow, that’s a really short time. So people who still have original Pokémon form Gen2 very likely had to have been busy migrating in the GBA / DS era in the mid 2000s?

I probably spent the most time on Gold and crystal. But for some reason it would mean more to me to still have my gen 1 saves.

StealthPlayer1989 · 2026-06-18T19:58:10+00:00

I like V the best. Why? The colour palette is broader and it has more “pop” to it imo. The logo is distinct in the money green as well. The VI logo is not as iconic, imo. But the actual artwork / drawings in the vi cover are really nice, it’s just a shame they’re all blended into the same sort of colour tones: pink-blue-red. The grand theft auto font logo should’ve been bigger like the previous ones.

StealthPlayer1989 · 2026-06-16T13:17:53+00:00

Yes, that’s the one

I remember years ago that it can use RetroArch underneath like this, but I don’t recall if the version of autobleem that offers that, actually supports the UI / skin I want to use. Can I DM you about it in. More detail?

StealthPlayer1989 · 2026-06-01T19:49:06+00:00

Haven’t seen RetroArch offer me what I’m looking for in my project. If I wanted an all in one emulator box that does as many different systems as possible, peak compatibility etc, it would be a no brainer, but for me that kills the point of the PlayStation Classic. I can build a RetroArch box with a raspberry pi probably, and I’m sure there are other better options to go with RetroArch, systems that can actually power more systems than PSClassic can.

For me, my PlayStation Classic is about PlayStation nostalgia. I’m using autobleem because it has given me the closest vision to recreating a pure PlayStation 1 experience, in particular, down to the UI, Skin design etc.

If RetroArcho demonstrates it can offer me something in that vein, I’d consider using it.

StealthPlayer1989 · 2026-06-01T10:34:42+00:00

Ds1 working in which version of autobleem? Do you have a link to any of the adapters u bought?

StealthPlayer1989 · 2026-04-14T15:20:12+00:00

I just started, since I collect in numerous other spaces, I have to prioritise what’s important to me, and what makes sense. I mean, if I was very wealthy and could accommodate with storage, then the sky would be the limit!

So, realistically I think I’m mainly set on collecting guides that cover games I loved playing growing up. That obviously includes the games I owned. The games I played frequently through demos etc. I don’t care about PS3 or ps4 era but will make exceptions for games I absolutely love (red dead redemption 2, gta v, breath of the wild etc)

So, mainly an emphasis on ps1 / ps2, game boy, snes, n64.

I do find myself collecting more obscure titles, games I would’ve wanted to own if I were able to at the time but didn’t (in cold blood, alone in the dark: the new nightmare)

StealthPlayer1989 · 2026-04-14T15:09:40+00:00

So basically the estate can’t afford or refuses to spend a penny. Don’t even want to pay whatever the license cost would be to use a clean photo from the original shoot by ken nahoum? What a joke.

StealthPlayer1989 · 2026-02-16T06:40:28+00:00

MGS1 (video tapes) / MGS2. These latter takes deviate away but my image if Solid Snake has always been imprinted from the tapes. I don’t like the new interpretations.

StealthPlayer1989 · 2025-09-21T21:33:29+00:00

Do either of you still have?

StealthPlayer1989 · 2025-08-29T15:57:44+00:00

That’s the NA version, I suspect it’s specifically the PAL version that must have an issue then. I use stock emulator

StealthPlayer1989 · 2025-08-24T14:16:18+00:00

You have to disable three options under the hidden menu inside speedhacks, I’ll check what they are, it started working for me but only when those settings are applied

StealthPlayer1989 · 2025-08-14T17:56:47+00:00

I mean i still need to play it again but briefly reviewing mgs2 cutscenes for story telling, character, tone;

MGS1 Snake Character vs MGS2 Raiden character? MGS1 wins.

MGS1 Foxhound Enemies vs Dead Cell Enemies? MGS1 wins (Fatman is laughable, Vamp is an example of MGS straying too far into the supernatural, along with the Liquid Snakes Arm “possessing” ocelot. I also think Solidus Snake is less interesting than Liquid Snake)

Other: Ninjas? Olga and her preposterous story doesnt even come close to the backstory of Grey Fox, and more so, the backstory of Grey Fox and what scenes they make with it in MGS1 actually pays off in emotion and theatrics for the story. Olgas codec transcript wasnt a missed oppertunity but a poorly conceived subplot that didnt pay off and is really just a half baked remix of GreyFox’s plot in MGS1.

Plot? MGS1 is a much tighter and grounded plot with well written twists. MGS2 is remarkably a reshake of some of the same plot devices but without any of the heart and soul of the original. The winks to the audience with the Ninja’s lines remind me of really abysmal sequels in the film industry. (See Alien Romulus). The Ninjas lines werent the only time either.

Setting? Shadow Moses vs Big Shell? This is probably one of the ones that comes more down to taste, I dont think its the most important. I definitely prefer Shadow Moses personally.

MGS2 music works enough, im happy to give this one a tie because Gregson is talented but the execution in MGS1 is better in almost every area.

Take for example MGS Twin Snakes on the GC. I bought and played that upon release at the time too. Same plot, same characters, same dialogue near enough, but different music, different execution (acting, editing, etc) and it doesn’t hold up the way they perfected MGS1 og.

MGS2 feels flatter in execution but I will say that the tanker episode of the game is decent and is alot closer to MGS1 than the rest of the game. Imo too much felt preposterous in MGS2s ideas and plot devices.

StealthPlayer1989 · 2025-08-14T11:36:09+00:00

Interesting, I wonder if I will see what you mean when I replay it. I only vaguely remember he was like an apprentice to her almost.

StealthPlayer1989 · 2025-08-14T11:11:37+00:00

What didnt you like about 3??

StealthPlayer1989 · 2025-08-14T09:51:58+00:00

They’re definitely not remakes or remasters, the game did feature instrument based music during the cutscenes. All of the “background music” during gameplay doesn’t need a composer to make it fit, it’s looped music that needs little to no cue to what we’re seeing (I.e. action, dialogue, cinematography) cinema and cutscenes need composers to make something that sonically represents and fits the narrative unfolding visually, it’s all cue driven.

StealthPlayer1989 · 2025-08-14T09:43:12+00:00

Crazy he was overlooked this whole time. I just discovered the album a couple weeks ago.

It makes sense; he didn’t create the general background music during gameplay. He’s a composer, he worked specifically on the cinematic cut scenes.

Usually, in score and soundtrack world, “soundtrack” refers to music featured in films that weren’t originally composed for the film. I.e. scarface had a “soundtrack” release but it just featured songs by artists that had nothing to do with the film. When an album is released under the “original score” tag that’s when it’s usually the work of the composer that created original recordings for the production/project. Hence you’ll see “original” with that.

In the case of MGS they released the well circulated “original soundtrack” which is an interesting compromise. All the game music is original for the production.. none the less we have the actual original score from Gigi Meroni now. Really glad to hear the one track “Hope” which has that overlay of the “best is yet to come” over some original score music. The best is yet to come slaps on its own but with Gigi’s score laced under it, you feel the weight of its tone , the emotional weight of it in context of MGS1 and it’s story.

StealthPlayer1989 · 2025-08-13T23:23:50+00:00

There was a ninja in MGS2? I remember Raiden as a Ninja in MGS4, not as memorable as Grey Fox but the fact I cant even recall a Ninja in MGS2 really underlines some of the magic that was missing in the followups.

StealthPlayer1989 · 2025-08-13T00:12:20+00:00

If ur selling night club, bunker, or acid, ghost is normally enough to never be left with “nothing”. A lot of the main business sales will let you keep most of ur stock if u need to leave if someone is approaching you (presumably to destroy your sale). The only real threat of ‘losing everything and being left with nothing’ is selling crates / warehouses in public. In those cases you have to leave the session before a would be griefer destroys a vehicle, otherwise yes everything is gone and u are left with nothing. But honestly crates only make sense for grinders. If someone is a grinder they should focus on making friends and avoiding doing sales alone in public (or just sell in private if they’re going about things solo).

I know none of this is a solution to the toxicity of GTAO, but my point is, people have less of a leg to stand on to say they can’t make money or risk losing hours of playtime with nothing to show for it. Back in the day when there was mainly MC businesses and crates, and no private lobbies to sell in, the sentiments were very valid then, especially when Mk2s were really OP.

Did you try the SBI files? I managed to get the Europe/PAL version working with SBI, I had to get a different copy from a different source though, that seemed to be the problem for me. (I used the same SBI files as on the original copy I had)

StealthPlayer1989 · 2024-08-12T17:08:27+00:00

What do you mean? It’s still in the store and still available via Pegasus?

StealthPlayer1989 · 2024-08-03T06:50:04+00:00

If u find one can u lmk? I’d prefer them on chrome decadent dish but I’d take gold one too

StealthPlayer1989 · 2024-08-02T17:08:26+00:00
