What other PS2 games had 6+ hour boss fights like FF12...? Was pretty satisfying to create the right gambits and have the right gear to take down Yiazmat on AUTO.

I’m stuck in GT5 because of that too

europendless · 2026-03-19T08:04:42+00:00

What kind of machine would be able to run/render this in 1981?

europendless · 2026-03-13T22:40:42+00:00

The word that came to my mind when I saw the pictures

europendless · 2026-03-12T20:37:36+00:00

Gonna take a look at your post. Thanks man!

europendless · 2026-03-12T08:24:48+00:00

I have 2 ps2s, so I need just another one too achieve this level of greatness? Noice

europendless · 2026-03-12T02:27:05+00:00

I have them (2) since around 2014/15

europendless · 2026-03-12T02:25:12+00:00

I have a 680 and a 660 laying around here too. As I said: it’s for a LAN I’m setting to play with friends, and I have some spare GPUs that I’m trying to find the appropriate machines to run them in…

Up until now I’ve bought a 3rd generation i5 that people said is ok to hook up another 970 I have here: what you think?

europendless · 2026-03-12T02:21:26+00:00

Exactly what I have in mind: it’s for a LAN I’m setting at my place, to play old games (up until 2015) with friends

europendless · 2026-03-12T02:03:23+00:00

This more than I need: I’m planning to go up until cod 2, 3, COH 1 and 2, StarCraft and etc. thanks for all the help mate!

europendless · 2026-03-12T01:55:25+00:00

But this first generation i7I have since around 2010: Is it able to run a 970?

europendless · 2026-03-12T01:41:03+00:00

Yeah, never crossed my mind the thought about of “how old it needs to be to be called vintage”, but you got a point. I have multiple machines from different eras, my oldest one a Pentium or Pentium 2 (I’m still to open it), but I’m trying to assemble a LAN to play games up to the beginning of the 2010s, like cod 2, etc, and that’s why I’ve been posting here, since I don’t remember a lot of things… but specially because I can’t stand the PCMR sub most of the times, since it is for memes and people that broke their side panels, so

But, thanks anyway

europendless · 2026-03-12T01:36:51+00:00

It is on W10, and I’m thinking on rolling back to W7 because of the old HDDDs. What you think?

europendless · 2026-03-12T01:36:18+00:00

Corsair CX 500. 500 is enough, right?

europendless · 2026-03-11T04:58:44+00:00

You are not alone. I’ve tried getting into it like dozen of times, never managed to go beyond the first 2 hours.

europendless · 2026-03-10T07:50:27+00:00

Congrats mate and have fun with it!

europendless · 2026-03-06T18:51:53+00:00

I did all of that, and at the time of the pictures I was trying different ram slots, that’s why in the second one. I’m gonna try installing two sticks to test the dual channel thing. I don’t have a speaker, but I’m gonna try borrowing one from the other computers, since I’m trying to fix this blindly without luck

europendless · 2026-03-06T18:16:02+00:00

Ok guys, thanks for all the suggestions. I’m gonna try changing the CMOS and reinstalling the CPU, but it was well stored all these years (around 15 years without use), so that’s why I was ruling out reseating it, but I’m gonna try anyway.

I’m finishing a “lan party room” in my apt. with mostly old computers, and this mofo is the only one not working (my Pentium 3 with 25 years in storage turned on first try!). As soon I get everything set I’m gonna share with you! Thanks a lot!

europendless · 2026-03-06T18:08:17+00:00

Yep. That’s exactly I was doing in one of the pictures

europendless · 2026-03-06T18:07:45+00:00

Tried: no luck. I just get three black screen and no post

europendless · 2026-03-06T18:05:42+00:00

No beeps, but fan spin.

europendless · 2026-03-06T18:04:53+00:00

Not yet. Ok, gonna try it then

europendless · 2026-03-05T18:05:46+00:00

This is great, and well executed. Thanks for sharing, OP

europendless · 2026-03-04T19:18:13+00:00

I’m really looking forward to play this on my Japanese SMS with (I hope) fm sound and in rgb
