I have a spreadsheet of all my games and how many memory blocks they each require. I then arranged them by genre and assigned each to a particular memory card. I currently have eight cards of different colours in use. Not all are full, of course, as I haven't actually played all my games, but I am going to see at least one more before I'm through.
I am strictly using official Sony cards that I bought brand new and sealed. I'm still looking for another red card, so if anyone happens to have a sealed crimson red or slate gray card, let me know.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Is this in the price range you're looking for? : http://www.ebay.com/itm/playstation...6?pt=US_Video_Game_Memory&hash=item3ce0d1f594
Not sure what color I wanna get. I'm almost overwhelmed by the sheer amount of choice. Probably not blue, cuz I already have a blue Dualshock 2.

Oh man, fuck that thing. One day I stayed home from school and played Final Fantasy Tactics all day. I had saved after every battle, but the next day all my progress was gone. It was like I hadn't played at all that
day.
Then the next week it said my file was corrupt and I had to format.

Haha! I remember seeing this in a shop in the UK back in the day and thinking exactly this:
Seriously no jokes yet about it?
Will this do?
I want to fill Lara (the memory card) up with my (data) load?

Why. The thing itself is already a joke.

Finally got around to finishing Metal Gear Solid yesterday. What an awesome game. I've always thought Snake Eater was the best in the series by a long ways, while I still probably like it more, MGS is pretty close.
Crazy to be reminded how much they changed with the sequels. I had forgotten a ton of stuff over the years. Completely didn't remember that both Naomi and Sniper Wolf knew Big Boss. Wonder if either of them will show up in MGS5.
I've also never really gotten the hate Twin Snakes gets, until now. Fuck Twin Snakes. Outside of all the stupid gymnastics shit (Snake flipping over doors etc.) I think the voice acting is way better in the original, even though most of the actors are the same. I really liked Sniper Wolf's death scene, and then watched the Twin Snakes version. Load of garbage. Having all the wolves come up is dumb, hearing them in the original was enough. And both Otacon and Wolf sound way better in the original. Otacon is just kind of fucking whiny in TS and Wolf sounds more fucked up in the original (in a good way).
Also, Snake is a cold dude:

Every time I go back and replay MGS, I always stop when you get to Sniper Wolf and have to backtrack to get the sniper rifle.

That and the PAL key are some serious bullshit, but they really don't take too long.
My first PS1 was the one with the male to male composite cable input. Good days. My model was from the year 97, cause it had this CD with it:

Also, I recently bought Vagrant Story for $30. Awesome pick ups as always hero. Having these types of stores must be quite nice in the US.

Went to my local place tonight with a friend. I just went there yesterday, so I wasn't expecting to find anything new. Managed to find one thing worth my time:
Still need Part Two for the SNES then I'm good to go.

It's a travesty that PS Vita doesn't allow screenshots during PS1 emulation. : (

Fuck no.
EDIT: Actually, I guess so. Looks like it goes for $90-100+ all day long on eBay. I swear it was like 50 when I saw it locally. Apparently I should have grabbed it.

Damn it.. now I actually kind of want to own the Lara card ironically.
WhoooOOOOooo.
I still need 3 and 4, but havent seen either for a good price.
Yes. That seller doesn't ship to Canada, which is why I didn't notice the auction. However, I am questioning the legitimacy of that one. The packaging in his photo just says "red", with the letters spaced out. I have never seen that labelling. None of the memory cards released in 1997/1998 (using the PSone style packaging) were named just after a colour. They all had a fancy name (emerald, island blue, slate gray). Red was called crimson red and was labelled as such. The one in the auction might be a bootleg.
Reading his auction text "new in pack multiple colors available contact me for color choice" is almost a guarantee that he is selling fakes. It is unlikely that he suddenly has multiple colours of legit Sony new and sealed memory cards on hand.

Actually, you're right. That last part sounds dubious as fuck.
I'm also realizing that I'm not even sure what real PS1 memory card packaging looks like.

Picked up a good amount of shit today:
I don't know what any of it is other than Dino Crisis 2 (and Sonic Adventures obviously). My friend told me D is worth a bit, so I grabbed it since it was only $13.

Huh, it's a survival horror game? I literally know nothing about most of the games I got today, just grabbed a bunch. I assumed it was an RPG.
Couple hours south of Chicago. Pretty awesome area. There are three places in town that sell old shit (though only one is usually worth visiting). Three more place withing 30-45 minutes (all worth going to). And a couple more about an hour away (one of which is worth going to).

I'm tempted to. I know there are people who would be absolutely livid that I'm choosing to play a game rather than archive it like a chump.
Apparently its like if you mixed Akira with Resident Evil but subtracted the motorcycle gangs.

I would love a copy of this game...used to play the Japanese demo for hours when I was a kid, was a lot of fun trying to figure out how to play with no instructions

Apparently it's rubbish, I finished Galerians on PS1 very recently, but don't know if I want to play the sequel yet.
