    I’m pretty jelly that I didn’t know this. Imagine how cool this would be to show the boys back in the day. However if an apocalypse were to happen and all was left was a PlayStation..we got ourselves a party 🎉

    on the game shark pro if you use the music cd option it can stop the disc and you can then put in an import.

      lol I'm glad it was so convincing. Took forever lol.
      I have a lil box that would make that PAL video display in colour but I was too lazy that day I guess to set it all up lol. Lapd is great though.
      All our cds are in the car so I had to grab whatever was at hand and I had just bought that Alan Partridge cd lol. Great show though.
      Thanks mate! On to the next!

    The trainer option on the Super GB Booster is basically for manually finding cheats

    I had a Goldfinger 3 in 1 which plugged into the i/o port, and allowed u to play gboy/gboy color games and it worked great! it also had a cheat option for the gboy games, and all the stuff that the other ones had, play imports, backups, cheats. etc

    I don't remember my ps1 having a parallel port, was that just a overseas thing? Also, if I remember right, the game shark I had was just a CD you enter the code switch the CD with the game and you where good to go, don't think I had any other device ( could be thinking of the PS2 though)

    • @VGgameplay

      The got rid of it after a while because of these devices but then gameshark just switched to cd lol.

    It would be great if posible to use that parallel port maybe to put english translations for japanese games, that would be wild.

    Did you try burning mp3 to a CD at a slower write speed?

    • @VGgameplay
      @VGgameplay  Рік тому

      2X is the slowest I could write. I tried a few different cd's but none worked very well. Could be an issue with the Playstation laser.

    Wait. What if they had used a second PS1 to support the first one for fast calculations and therefore improving games technically even further?

    • @That_Handle
      @That_Handle Рік тому

      The serial I/O link port kind of did that for 2-4P games that supported PS1 linking; but, yeah, interesting to think with the current ODEs whether the RAM, etc. could be expanded.

      🤔 Can I use two of these to do some Japanese PS1 Serial I/O system-link on NTSC-U consoles? ...There has to be a cheaper/easier way though.

    They were selling what we calleda mod chip back when i was a kid. Which just let you play games from other countries and burnt games. I finally got the money together to get one. Only to find out my specific system didn't have it and i was so broken hearted. I wanted to play dbgt final bout so damn bad. Oh i think it did do cheats too.

    I swapped my late 9000 model PAL PS1 (had an N64 for most of that gen and part-exchanged) for my neighbour's 5500, because it had a parallel port for plugging in a cart to play my imported copy of FFIX (I also had to migrate to the living room TV to play in 60hz / NTSC (and therefore colour) using a proper RGB SCART cable (my introduction to wonders of RGB). I was just stumbling about in the dark back then. I must have found out what i had to do through dial-up internet and advice at my local indie game store, PlayAway (RIP)
