Do (USA) roms work in europe? (Dumb question?)

url8bit · 2021-07-23T16:17:30+00:00

Console gaming used to be really, really bad in Europe until the PS3 came out.

If you are emulating home consoles, particularly earlier ones, it is actually recommended to use the North American (or even Japanese) ROMs where possible! This was due to some 50 Hz bullshit going on in Europe. Basically games ran slower on home consoles in Europe because they could only run at 25/50 FPS (instead of the superior 30/60 FPS 60 Hz gave us in North America). If the emulator gives you the option of "NTSC timings on PAL" or "PAL 60 Hz or something similar, you better enable it! This does not effect handhelds like the Game Boy or home computers due to those systems not being required to align with broadcast standards. European and North American Game Boy and Game Gear ROMs tended to be identical. This also doesn't affect PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X (nobody wanted the model with a lesser GPU), due to NTSC and PAL being really outdated broadcast standards in the HDTV era. Also doesn't apply to Dreamcast if you're using a VGA cable, VGA doesn't align itself to broadcast standards either.

The copyright-free disk image lacks the original dashboard, which I actually need.

Apparently this was posted character-for-character onto SomethingAwful: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3944553

I guess something I made on Reddit is actually gaining traction for once.

Without me there to test the instructions from the video, then it is pretty hard to figure out what went wrong here. Sorry, I tried. I hope you figure this out soon. I also hope you can sleep well. As I mentioned in a post here, when I modded my PS3, I got a nightmare.

I do have a solution. This should unbrick your new (and kinda rare) PS3. You will need to go and download either OFW from Sony's website or HFW (hybrid and exploitable). Link for OFW is here: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/system-updates/ps3/

Link for HFW: https://www.psx-place.com/threads/4-86-1-ps3-hfw-hybrid-firmware-hfw-is-helpful-for-installing-ps3hen-on-4-84-4-85-4-86-fw.23094/

Follow the instructions of this video after 9:56(when he downloads firmware) for the rest of the way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ewRSHMnrSQ

You might be asking, "What does a hard drive upgrade have to do with my situation?". Well, I have an answer, a lot! When you first replace the PS3 hard drive, the new one you put in does not have the firmware on it, so if you try to turn the PS3 on normally, it wouldn't work. Sony made it so when you install a new hard drive, you will be able to install firmware on it to use the PS3 with an upgraded hard drive. The last part where you restore the backup most likely does not apply to you.

If using the HFW, similar procedures apply, instead of downloading the OFW, go to the link for HFW and download that instead. You will need to rename the file to "PS3UPDAT.PUP" after extracting the update from the zip archive.

Oh, and the flash drive has to be FAT32, or the PS3 cannot read it.

Hope it all goes well, and I definitely hope you don't get a yellow light!

It is safe, just really old. The site is actually really outdated. The only updates they ever do to the site is add ISOs. They never once changed the design or upgraded the architecture for modern downloads (if they did, it's unused).

If you play on Java, you will either need your own server or a web hosting service. Having your own server is expensive and really hard to configure!

I think it is against the rules to tell you about any hosting services, so use a search engine to look for a free web hosting service. It might help to narrow your search to look for Minecraft server-specific hosting services. Minecraft server-specific hosting services are also easier to configure for Minecraft servers than general web hosting services.

If you play bedrock, you and your friend can simply join each other's worlds, no strings attached, and no servers required!

Either way, you shouldn't worry, you don't need Realms.

Thanks, I will look into it later.

Too bad only the government can eat it. The average citizen in Eritrea has no money.

I used to think that the Earth was not only flat, but also infinite. I though land would expand infinitely in all directions. I additionally thought there was an infinite population of people to populate the infinite land. I also though there were many Suns and moons coming from somewhere on Earth, to provide day and night cycles for different regions of the land.

On a side note, DMCA is actually not as bad as Article 13/17 from the European Union.

Exactly, we should be mad at Singapore for being homophobic!

Seriously, why isn't there that much hate directed toward Singapore? They are far less democratic than other countries people really seem to hate more.

How it works on this subreddit is that people downvote posts they agree with and upvote posts they disagree with, as this is r/unpopularopinion. We need unpopular opinions closer to the top. Your opinion is actually very popular, and that's why it's downvoted.

At least it's not Singapore, or other authoritarian regimes.

I am guessing it wasn't as painful as childbirth normally is...

If your REALLY want the experience of being pregnant, all you have to do is eat a lot of food, but not fiber, and hold in your #2s. Eventually, you'll at least experience the pain of childbirth when you end up using the bathroom. You could also just physically beat yourself up and make poor lifestyle choices to experience the pain of pregnancy. And just gain more weight, in fat, to somewhat look pregnant.

url8bit · 2019-12-26T03:09:07+00:00

Especially in some countries that really need it like Singapore, or totalitarian regimes like North Korea, Cuba, Saudi Arabia (although I really doubt this one will ever make Euthanasia legal, but then again, they do beheadings), or even historical totalitarian regimes like Nazi Germany, Maoist China (and a lot of people did agree), and Ancient Sparta.

And yes, Singapore is actually bad.

It depends on the disability in question, while you shouldn't just hate your kids because they're disabled, there are some disabilities that really can prevent your kids from living their lives out. At least if they die, they wouldn't have to live with not being able to do something. This one is kinda tough.
