that's incorrect for ps1 classics. psp go lets you use ps3 controller's full controls both analogues R2/L2, R3/L3 triggers and even rumble.

Sorry you are right. I meant it just takes over as player 1 not as a second controller.

Been playing the Rockman Complete Works titles and they are pretty good ports of the original NES versions. The unlock system offers some nice perks which make the games super easy but how you save the unlock-ables is a bit ridiculous and tedious since you have to save twice once in the settings and in the database. So if you forget to save them they are gone and you gotta beat the game again. Fun to play but make sure you save your settings and database images before you power off the console. All I need now is a pocket station. =)

I picked up a disc only copy of Gekioh Shooting King and noticed that there was no background music playing during the game. I checked YouTube and saw there was music in the videos I watched. Is there a bug playing this on PS3 or is the disc messed up? I haven't dug out an actual PS1 to test.

Nice pickup. I loved Tekken 3 back in the day.
Danny Dudekisser
I paid good money for this Dynex!
Tekken 3 was my first PS1 game, and is easily one of the best home fighting game releases ever... especially by 1998 standards.
Favourite Tekken alongside Tag 1, I remember playing this at home with a few friends religiously and then going to the arcades thinking we were about to show up some fools. Nope. Arcade was another world! It encouraged us to get better and better though.
The Tekken Ball mode was a ton of fun outside of VS, I enjoyed that more than the bowling and 'streets of rage' modes in the other games. It's a solid port considering the arcade tech it was released on, really impressed at what Namco pulled off on the ps1.

oh yeah tekken 3 brings back so many memories. the 1st arcade conversion that had way more to offer that i stopped going to the arcades and plucking down quarters.
i think this game was the start of the death of arcades and people staying home and playing on consoles.

it was one of the first times i remember thinking we really closed the gap from console to arcade (with bonus characters/gameplay features to boot!)...it was incredible for its time
and also not on PSN, which is why I went disc. Not that I mind.

Wait, really? Even in-game? I think the loading screens/the VS screens were in 480i, but I didn't realize the whole thing was.
Yes, the whole game, even in game too. The res changed when I tested the game with my capture card(like 240p for the PS1 boot screen, but 480i for the whole game).

This is the same for the Ridge Racer Turbo disc, and the menues in Rage Racer & Ridge Racer type 4 I think. At least they go all weird in emulators without forcing any settings. Plus Tekken 3 is like this all the way.
I recall other 60fps titles do this too.

Was Tobal 2 the same way? I seem to recall that being hi-rez but I could be wrong. Also, this reminds me that I haven't opened the copy of that game I bought like a year and a half ago. But I did love the game back in the day!
Also, it probably has the best fighting game soundtrack ever. Top 3, at worst.

Yes, Tobal 2 is in 480i as well.

So Tekken 1 & 2, plus Tobal 1 all did 60, but in 240p, while Tekken 3 and Tobal 2 went for 480i. I wonder why? Looked better I guess?!
How is Soul Blade?
I'm sure Soul Blade is 240p!

Tobal No. 1 is also 480i, not just Tobal 2

When I think of it, I believe maybe some of the Toshinden games are too?
I believe those are just 240p.

Finally getting around to playing Spyro 2 after about two decades
I played the first and third game when I was younger but never got around to this. But honestly I think it might be the best one.
I loved the simplicity of the first game and three just felt a bit bloaded even if it did add some interesting elements
2 seems to be like a better balance between the two.

Nice shots, ResidentDante, they look really cool framed with the book.
I've been thinking about playing TR1 recently as I don't think I ever completed it (Maybe got 80% through it?), I remember playing with a friend where we would take turns trying to solve the puzzles and swap every time one of us died, it was a really fun way to play it.
I take it the PC version with patches is the best way to play it today?

Thanks guys, much appreciated!
As for TR1 I asked the same recently and KainXVIII answered, the Steam version is the way to go apparently:
It adds the PS1 music etc. I'm going to try it any day soon myself!

It's locked to 30 because it always was on PC, DF retro covered it and explained so at least. Good to hear it works, I'll give it a go myself soon!

The first Tomb Raider was amazing for it's time. It's the only one I've beaten or put much time into. I was messing around with a ps1 emulator last year and put it on and played through a few hours of it and it held up fine to me even though it's a little clunky.
I remember i came to one of the last levels, possibly the absolute last. There you first had to kill a lot of flying things that hatched from eggs all over the room, and after that do a jump that i was never able to do. Of course you landed in the lava and got killed if you screwed it up - and had to replay the start of the level. Eventually i got tired of this - and quit. But its definitely an awesome game for sure.

I beat it and loved it when it first came out in the fall of 1996. It was a revelation in its day, even coming as it did in the same timeframe as Super Mario 64. However, I never spent any serious time with any of the sequels on PS1. I need to correct that.

2 is very very good.
Just be prepared for some frustrating parts with human enemies.
