>you see this and suddenly the enthusiasm you felt seconds before starting your console dissolves into a frustrating haze of list scrolling

This is where game time goes to die.

Sigh

Have fun playing Nene's game, anon

>>11853648
How do you pronounce that? "Nay-nay"?

Sounds like a (You) problem.

This is like pointless channel surfing in the 90s but you don't even have that element of at least looking at a show for a few seconds before moving on, you're just looking at a text string representing a game.

Doesn't happen when you own 12 games you play repeatedly. :)

stop downloading full rom sets, retard

Now watch me whip
Now watch me Nene

Is that something you abide by yourself or something you're just telling him to do?

>>11853683
I abide by it myself.

Pick one at random. Roll a dice, generate a number, write a script to choose from your library, write each title on a popsicle stick and draw from the lot, spin your pencil around a paper with the list, it doesn't matter the method.
If you're given a title and say "nah" then you don't even want to play video games. Find something else to do.

Getting the full set is fine. Throwing it all into your library at once is the error. Treat your archive like its a a rom site or store and only move a game or two into your library at a time.

I have a mental list of games I want to check out that could last me a lifetime, I never have to channel surf for something new.

Not my problem!

>>11853651
Assuming it's Japanese, it'd be a little closer to neh-neh.

>>11853618 (OP)
No, I don’t see that. I have a spindle of CD-Rs.

And that's all it took to recollect my curiosity and love. Man needs CD cases, not text lists.

>full rom set
>PS1

There isn't a SD card in existence that could hold an entire PS1 "romset", that shit is several terrabytes, especially considering the fact that you can't use CHD on ODEs.

The Redump set for just PS1 games starting with the letters A-C is 500GB, and that's compressed.

Try this zoomer

probably my biggest irk with the Mister is currently the shitty text list or rom/chds.

Taki was working on a boxart image menu for the superstation though so hopefully that will come out soon.

That's the good stuff

Gaming magazines are an excellent supplement for ODEs and flash carts and emulators. You can flick through issues, catching ads and reviews, and you can boot any game you want instantly and at no cost. Genuinely fantastic experience.

I only download the games I'm actually interested on playing.

Why did you download a bunch of games if you don't even know what you'd want to play. Not even a specific game, but general genre.

Does anyone know what this idiot is whining about?

>>11853618 (OP)
But there's only like 30 games on that list

>>11854303
Having ADHD I guess. Just download/install the games you actually want to play if you're stuck looking at a list, you whiny bitch.

What's the fucking problem?
Make up your mind and pick a game.
Just one (1) game.

>>11854303
He downloaded an entire romset and he's complaining about choice paralysis like the weak man he is

>decides what game to play before turning the console on
what now bitch

>>11853764
But if you trim out all of the different regions and revisions?
What’s the filesize on the 1G1R sets?

>get a frontend
>meticulously customize it with full box arts
>scanned advertisements
>short videos that play for every game as a preview
>never have to deal with plain strings of text again
It's just that simple
