Hardware and Tech / Why I think the SONY PS3 Backwards compatibles overheat

« on: July 22, 2017, 10:22:19 am »

I just have a couple theories on why the old SONY PS3's overheat and how I personally think to help keep them cool

1: Most people play PS2 games in HDMI in which I think is a main issue with the melting of some of the circuitry on some of the older models, my suggestion is to play PS2 games in AV mode with AV cables(aka) PS1 PSone and PS2 hookups only to reduce internal heat build up. After all when the PS2 came out their was not an HDMI hook up.

2: You should get a fan for them, they are rare but find able

3: The PS3 backwards compatibles need more heat sink chips in the circuitry in order to keep the machine from over heating on the insides.

4: It might be time to clean your system.

General / Major Flaw in the ColecoVision and Intellivision Flashback 1

« on: July 21, 2017, 01:53:29 pm »

Everything is good in this the At games ColecoVision flashback console expect that the controller breaks easy and you need the wheel in order to play all the games on it. I think I used it a couple times and now both my controllers don't register correctly but I love the games on it. I am however highly unhappy with how fast my colecovision controller wheel twisted off from playing the games on it,   and on the Intellivision Flashback 1 the controller is a no better and extremely hard to operate. One thing I'd say about the CollecoVision flashback 1 is the controller is too cheap and needs to be stronger then that light plastic they used the wheel should be steel and rubber in my opinion to prevent the wheel from cracking

General / Your Favorite Console Hook Up Wires AV vs HDMI or RGB

« on: July 19, 2017, 10:24:16 am »

well in short story I love the AV hook ups on consoles rather then HDMI because image quality does not matter with myself, it's the heat buildup that the HDMI ports produce that makes me wounder why so many people use them, and it is rareity and all the extra cord ramble jamble makes me wounder why RGB is also more popular then AV. I mean you can hook AV to pretty much anything at least the new AV cables you can hook them up to a sterio see tutorial on my facebook page

i HAVE A CRT BUT THAT'S JUST ME

General / What Kind of Competition Don't You Like In Video Games

« on: July 17, 2017, 06:53:08 am »

I can't see why some of you posted on some of these threads, or I misunderstood what some of you meant by mentioning I don't like to compete/competition in video games.

I guess my main question is. what is it that some of you don't like about competing in video games? (against the computer mainly)? the first thing that went through my mind when I read someones post was, well they enjoy RPGS but cannot stand many other genres of video games. I suppose the Some RPGS are the easiest thing to play, but not all of them are a piece of cake to beat in my opinion.


The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a game that it is vary hard to stay alive in for me at least. I don't know who posted that they don't like competition in video games, maybe they meant was they do not like sports games? I know a lot of people don't like them. but I do

 this is about either competing against the computer, or your family, or friend, or buddy online and such. genre does not matter in this thread

General / The D Pad? Or The Joystick?

« on: July 16, 2017, 02:17:15 am »

which kind of video game movement device do you like better.? I prefer the D-pad in which according to the following video was invented by Nintendo in 1982


Wiki information about the joystick (1910)

General / Mistakes Nintendo Made Or What Mistakes You Think They Made

« on: July 16, 2017, 01:55:14 am »

I need to learn more about the history of the video games I play so that is why I am currently watching Toutube.


Here is a video was done by "the video game historian" in fact I highly recommend this YouTube channel to everyone


video title [3 Mistakes Nintendo Made]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW_MEKWTguA

My debriefing is I wish more people bought the Nintendo 64. I've lost a TON (EDIT MORE THEN I WANT) of music and video games due do disc rot. in fact one mistake I think Nintendo made is not make the cartridges of the N64 hold more data or at least make them bigger with more data crystals inside them all. 

all a vdieo game caridge was was a harddrive to begin with

but of couase CD hold 700 megabytes and that my friends is more than half of 1 gigabyte. Harddirves were a lot bigger then N64 cartridges and heavy back then but you could get 10 gigs although it would cost more then it did to manufacture CD's back then anyway

General / Stretching A video Games Play/Time Span [thinner focus topic]

« on: July 14, 2017, 09:44:21 am »

does anyone ever try to beat a video game on a higher difficulty or do most of you just beat it on easy difficulty and be done with it forever and sell it or buy something else?

In my humble opinion?


Well, I don't think that is a good thing to do in my opinion, because their is always replay ability and secret levels to unlock and bonus content to see and explore SO?

DO YOU STRETCH YOU VIDEO GAMES FUN LIFE OR DO YOU DISPOSE YOUR VIDEO GAMES AFTER BEATING THEM ONCE ONE TIME ON (EASY)

Hardware and Tech / Is Is Possable To Use Any Harddrive to Store PS2 Games?

« on: July 09, 2017, 05:48:27 pm »

A man told me about a month ago how stupid the PS2 memory card requirement was for most PS2 video games. and I was shocked to hear from him that he told me you can use any harddrive without a modded PS2 and store your video game save files to it. HOW? he didn't tell me. He told me to connect the harddrive to the back of my PS2 PHAT OR FAT  expansion  BAY OR PORT and try. My question to those of you reading this and for years to come , IS this possible?

I know that the PS2 requires a hard drive connection or some kind of converter, or not, from a more modern harddrive. I do know that anything can be done, but HOW?

General / DO You Keep GAMES Sealed forever or/and sell? or? Attend to Play them? and keep?

« on: July 07, 2017, 08:47:14 pm »

I only collect cheap used games mostly. because I find a used cheap game can be just a fun as a new game. I love the smell of unopened video games. But I don't plan on keeping my 3 sealed video games sealed forever. believe it of not I bought Medal Of Honor sealed for $under $15.00 american for the PS3 and that Game is awesome. I found it used, still sealed at a used video game market for an excellent price and that is an excellent game. Cracked case yes, manual yes, hole in seal yes, disc in mint condition yes manual in mint condition. apparently someone no longer want. original seal well no longer. I opened it and played that game because I don't want my games sealed forever. I buy video games to play them. not to profit or sell them. But someday I may share them with other people for free. I'll only sell them if I'm desperate again. for food.

I play to keep and keep on collecting just to have them because I know that physical   video games are rare period. don't let anyone tell you different. Physical copies don't last forever. AND sometimes in order to have something Physical  again you just gotta open a seal copy. Data is more interchangeable that Physical copies, at least some good data is free on ROM sites, also some bad and good data can be found on corrupt ROM web sites. They say that ROMS are illegal but what do you think a PS4 uses people? I guess if you PAY it's legal but even back in the 1990's hackers used to put viruses on PC video games (THAT MY PARENTS USED TO PAY MONEY FOR) and even the SONY PS1 demo disc is actually a memory card breaker i read.

Sorry to make so many topics Admin's I hope to keep the conversation going, and being a newbie I don't know if bring ancient topics back to life is a good idea. I got in trouble for that on a different forum. RUNNING SEARCH AFTER THIS POST.

2 searches and I found this topic
https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,8000.msg132815.html#msg132815

I will not make ROMS out of my games I don't know how to do that stuff. Sharing as is YES

General / Do Collect For Most Consoles Or Just From One Company

« on: July 05, 2017, 09:01:07 am »

I pretty much collect anything that is affordable and I collect what I like. I own a bunch of consoles but not any of the Atari or Colecovision or Intellivision or so called dead 1980's companies and definitely not an Atari Jaguar. although I only own 1 Sega console. that is a Sega Genesis / Sega Mega Drive 2. I used to own a perfectly good Sega Saturn I got for free from trading in some unused things at a thrift shop in the middle of nowhere. I sold it when my vary old PS2 broke.
