Name a better console.
pro tip: you can't.

n64

here comes the kid who had a nintendo 64 instead

PC

>>717742821 (OP)
I mean, technically speaking anon I can name several better consoles

>>717742821 (OP)
PC (Engine)

the lack of a z buffer and no fp precision for pixel values was SOVL (not really)

>>717742821 (OP)
Any console is better than the ps1. Every game on this thing aged like milk except sotn and even that game isn't worth playing anymore.

PS5

>>717742821 (OP)
PS2

I still remember getting my PS1 and Rayman. It was Christmas and we were on a ski-trip. I must've been 6 years old or something.

>>717742821 (OP)
Yeah, but the grey is kinda ugly.
Wish they had made color variations like Nintendo did with the 64.

SNES>PS1>PS2>>>>>>>>everything else.
PS1 and PS2 are close but ultimately the change to 3d was a bigger upgrade than going higher poly.

>>717742957
The N64 lost.

>>717742872
Such as?

Atari Jaguar

>>717744480
PS2, 3, 4. 5
Xbox, 360, one, series s/x
N64, GameCube, Wii, U, Switch, 2
Dreamcast

>>717742821 (OP)
PS2 is much better

>>717742821 (OP)
Easy.

name one game

>>717744604
It really should have had some success, even if I don't like it personally. Fucking Microsoft being America's only representation on the console market is disgusting.

The PS5 Pro.

>>717742821 (OP)
There was nothing quite like having your friend come over for the weekend, getting some sodas and chips lined up, and playing Tekken, Gran Turismo, Unholy War, Armored Core... and taking turns with the single player games like Soul Reaver and Final Fantasy all weekend. One of a kind experience.

>>717742821 (OP)
Saturn

>>717749591
Smuggler's run 2.

>>717749501
The PS2 may have been a great console but boy does it look ugly as sin.

>>717742821 (OP)
PS2 since it was backwards compatible anyways.

>>717742821 (OP)
PS2

>>717749591
Devil May Cry

>>717742834
N64 was just your Zelda&Mario console. I can't know about anything else about the N64.

i'd love a PS1 solution that didn't involve optical media.

The only thing stopping me from picking one up is that ODEs are expensive and have sketchy compatibility. Like for any other console original hardware beats emulating but for the PS1 it's the opposite

>>717742821 (OP)
PS2

>>717742821 (OP)
PSone

>>717750729
Just emulate the games on your PC. Compatibility is great these days and any toaster can run it.

>>717750917
Name a cuter console.
pro tip: you can't.

>>717750698
imagine growing up and not playing perfect dark relentlessly with ur neighborhood bros

>>717750698
for people with taste the n64 was a zeld mario AND rareware console. Nintendos betrayl of rare was part of the reason the console flopped so hard

>>717750962
>Just emulate the games on your PC.
No shit, but I don't want to. I don't want to open an emulator on my PC, i want to plug a PS1 controller into a box next to my old TV and my other retro consoles and play it that way

>hur just plug ur PC into ur TV
not even nearly the same

>>717751594
There's that PS1-like FPGA thingy that was shilled here a while back. Superstation or something. I think it's a waste of money but I guess it might be helpful in your case.
Why do you hate optical media, anyway? As long as your console is modchipped you can burn as many cheap discs as you want and play them.

maybe if it was less than a third of the price, maybe
>Why do you hate optical media, anyway?
optical media bad. the drives have a limitef lifespan, discs suck and take up space and burning and labelling takes time and is nowhere near as elegant as a game select interface

luv me psx

>>717742821 (OP)
The PS double

>>717749591
Ace combat zero

>>717742821 (OP)
Many people can't even name that one. They think it has an "X" in its name like they're fucking Elon Musk or something.

>>717750339
counterpoint: it had a built in place to hide weed

>>717752583
I guess another route is to get a fat PS2/PS3 and mod it to load games off a hard drive. Not sure how expensive that would be where you live. Maybe jailbreak a more modern console and emulate through there? PSIO, if you can solder?
Honestly, just embrace the optical disc with all its flaws. It was part of the original experience, after all.

>>717753717
>i ain't talking bout that gamecube

>>717742821 (OP)
I can, and it's the very console Sony was ripping off.

>>717756049
>fat PS2/PS3 and mod it to load games off a hard drive
Neither are really great solutions. You can't use the PS1's hardware built into the PS2 to run games off a HDD, it only works with discs. POPstarter is how you run games of a HDD, but that's a largely incompatible software emulator that sony designed for one game

As for a PS3 it's plugged into an HDTV, the controller has triggers instead of buttons, the frontend is too new to suit PS1 games. it's just wrong, at that point i'd emulate on a pc

You're not a true gamer.

Not this again.
Someone post that image.

>Third party media outlets and fans
That's nice. Now show me where Sony themselves used the term PSX to refer to the PlayStation.

>>717749591
Gran Turismo 3.

>>717761904
>the official Playstation magazine
>third party
Are you fucking retarded?

>>717742821 (OP)
PS2 was better but PS1 games had better charm imo. MGS, FF7, 8, 9, etc.

>>717754059
>>717761017
>>717761318
Ideally we would all just call it the Playstation.

>>717761318
hey thanks I was looking for this earlier

NONE
PSX RULES

>>717763402
Ideally we would all just call it a piece of shit, because that's what it was.
