PC Engine (Turbografx) games hit PSN

The option to easily play these and future releases (Neo Geo, Saturn and whatever else) on my PSP and PS3 will pretty much sway me from buying such titles for the other platforms.

Whaaaaaat?!?! :D

Yeah, for me this is huge. I have the Star Soldier collection for PSP and I play it all the time. The fact that these are playable on both PS3 and PS3 is Megaton for me.

Oh yeah, you're right though, we bugged a lot of Sony peeps at E3 about getting classic games on PSN, and as I saw mentioned in this thread, we hammered on Dreamcast and Saturn.

Cadash and Parasol Stars would probably have to involve Victor Ireland for the US releases, but I would hope that he'd be up for it.

I know I'm stretching it a bit. But if Sony worked on PC Engine emulation, and is available just right now, would that confirm in a way that they are working on PS2 BC? The patents and reports are quite recent too...
 
That's a great start Sony.

Now give me an official Genesis, and Saturn emulator for PS3/PSP and a Dreamcast emulator for the PS3


Note: I actually think a PS3 Dreamcast emulator would be easier to pull of then PS2 emulation for the PS3

A lot.



The two would have absolutely no connection whatsoever.

Well the connection to sell old games. PS2 library means a lot more to gamers. If Sony wanted people to buy more PS3 games, why are they renewing the PSone library and now adding PC Engine? Of course it goes into their distribution strategy, but still, it's iffy.

There's nothing iffy about it - initiative to sell classics or remakes(any classics) online has been there since before PS3 launched.
And something similar can be said for their emulation work.

A lot easier actually - but would Sega go for it?
 
Imagine a sony and sega joint effort to release a dreamcast emulator exclusively for ps3 with the ability to plug in your old dreamcast controllers and even use vmus. Also, shenmue 3 download using the dreamcast engine.

When I first heard about this news, I thought to myself that this would be the new "Torgo's Delight"! :D

Personally, I'm excited about this as well. I still wish the games were a little cheaper in price (my main complaint about Wii Virtual Console), but on the other hand the ability to play the games on both PS3 and PSP is very sweet indeed.

All they need to do now is start releasing TG-16 titles in North America. I already own the Devil's Crush cartridge, but I would rebuy the game as a digital download (as I did with R-Types on PS1) just so I could tote it around with me on PSP.

I'd settle for a Dreamcast emulator with 100% (or close to 100%) compatibility. Instead of an adapter to plug in old Dreamcast controllers and VMU's, I'd like to see a PSP Go app that would work with the emulator, letting you use the Go as a combined DC controller and VMU. That way, you could play any of the VMU minigames on the Go, or play DC games that used the screen by using the Go as a wireless controller (via bluetooth). (The lack of analog triggers on the PSP might be an issue for some games, but it would still be a nice option regardless.)

That's actually a very good idea.

Hell as long as we're asking for crazy shit, I'd like a turbographx 16, and Sega consoles for my Home space. So that I can invite a friend over to my virtual pad play emulated classics on a true virtual console :D
 
Well, I grabbed the 3 relevant games last night.

The emulation is perfect. No frontends, no filters, just awesome.

You also get 5 save-states, which is totally sweet for keeping High Scores in Devil's Crush (Crash)

The sound is well done and doesn't have a "tinny" effect. Control is great, and the visuals are spot-on without flicker.

PLEASE Hudson, PLEASE do this in North America!!!!!!!!
 
Torgo, how is the upscaling on PS3? Mushy or eye-bleeding sharp? Is there an option for 1:1 original res with black boarder box on PSP?

Did you try 'em on the PSP-3K yet?

It's displayed in 1080p, so it's a tad blocky (I think more because of the size of my screen etc), but it looks much better than my Duo hooked to my LCD. It fills the screen vertically except for a small strip of black on the top and bottom (very minimal)

Seriously, it's simple and oh so awesome.

Looks GREAT on the PSP 2000 and 3000!!!

The file sizes are all only about 8MB too, most of that in the wrapper I'm sure. The convenience of having these on my PS3 "Jukebox" and on my PSP is just awesome!!

This is what I wished Sega would do when they brought Genesis games to PSN. I would have bought all the Sonic games just so I can play them on the on my PSP.

A bunch of SEGA Vintage Collection games were rated by the ESRB and disappeared. Gunstar Heroes is the only one getting released. There's two likely explanations:

1) Sony rejected the other titles because they were already available on PS3 as part of Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection.

2) SEGA opted to make those games available on PS3/PSP through a VC like solution instead.
 
In my opinion, these are better renditions of the original game than the Genesis games that have been released so far. I do like Gunstar Heroes on PSN though, even IF the online doesn't work AT ALL (Thanks for nothing Backbone)
 
Even though emulators have been around forever I still love this. It should be good business, especially since Sega and eventually Nintendo overshadowed this awesome machine.

Oh, don't forget Splatterhouse!
 
So, what's the over/under on this never coming to the US, coming to the US in a years time or 6 months time? Given their track record, I'm not hopeful.
 
It's probably coming to the US later. If nothing else it's an update filler for a few weeks when they don't have other content.
 
One can only hope that these great titles spring forth (allowing me to put away my crumbling PC-Engine CDs):

Bonk 1, 2, & 3
Air Zonk
Keith Courage
JJ & Jeff
YS Book 1 & 2, and YS 3: Wanderers from Ys
Lords of Thunder
Tiger's Run
Military Madness
Neutopia

...and much more.

It gets me all excited to think of the re-releases we could quite possibly see.
 
Bomberman '94 is still the definitive version of Bomberman, even after all this time.

By the original team, and much more balanced than the Saturn one.

Despite it's age it shits all over the PS3/360 version.
 
OK, I did some more digging. This is the same emulator they used on the 2 PSP PC Engine Collections. This is a VERY GOOD THING.

Here's some crappy pics from my PSP, you get the same 3 viewing modes, changeable on-the-fly by hitting the Right Shoulder Button.

Hey guys what is the best way to give my money to the Japanese PSN?
I did not setup an Entropay account before and apparently it won't work now.

I am not happy about places charging me $50 for an equivalent $30 japanese yen card.

Anyone? Speevy? Torgo? How are you guys handling this?

Which was, of course, total horseshit intended to distract people from the fact that it was actually only happening on Wii.

Then again, I'm interested to see somebody finally actually competing with Nintendo on this model, especially considering that Sony said in 2007 that they weren't interested.

I hope does something like Nintendo is doing with the VC. If they let them release these titles on the PSN and make sure they work on the PS3 & PSP..I'd be a happy camper.

That's because the Genesis games were developed by Backbone, one of the laziest, shittiest, most mediocre developers in the world right now. There are people out there making Dora the Explorer and Spongebob games that have more drive and pride in their product than Backbone does.
 
oh hell yes, I really really want to play Devil's Crush and Bomberman on my PSP I fucking love Devil's Crush.

Jpn PSN Only huh? Bummer.
 
OldJadedGamer said:
But with the VC you cannot buy 600 points, you can only buy 500 or 1000 so if you want a PC Engine game on the VC the minimum you can pay is 1000. On PSN, since they are already over the minimum of $5 you just pay the exact amount... making them cheaper on PSN ;)

Wow. SDF is getting desperate.

I use the Japanee PSN cards to add funds. I think sites like Play Asia have them.
