Current Collection Goals?

[argyle]

Just tap the Playstation button while you're in the PSOne game, it will bring up a menu and that should be one of the options.

I'd never heard of/didn't know about this, either.

Then again, I can only remember playing a couple of PS1 games on my PS3 (CT WAS one of them, though)!

*SOURCE*  on/for this?

(Not that I don't believe everything that I read on Internet message boards, or anything:) 

Source:  Me.  Because I've done it. 

Folks,

I have to apologize. I just sat down to check and it seems I got my new old school mixed up.

The ps2 lets you set it system wide (although my Alzheimer's has me swearing I set it when I first got my ps3 as well.). I also swear I've toggled it on/off per game on my PS3 (that one must be the Aspertame in my Coke Zero).

Anyway, I am uploading a video to youtube showing how to set it system wide on the PS2. I've read a few places that say PS2 with fast disk read is actually faster than PS3 normal.

I'll have to give that a shot. If it's true I guess my quest for a fully backward compatible PS3 fat will come to an end and my PS 2 will continue to have purpose.

I'm pretty embarrassed by my brain misfiring on this one.

Man, I'm embarrassed too - I could have SWORN I turned this on just recently when I was playing some Suikoden II.  But like you said, maybe I was thinking of the PS2.  Yeesh - I am getting old I guess...or heck, I drink a lot of Coke Zero too.  Maybe you've hit on something, maybe that stuff erodes our gaming memory centers.     Sorry guys.

WTF?!

Misinformation & mistakes on da netz 

Say it ain't so VGC 

It's cool...I'd have been more pissed at myself for being ignorant about such a feature for so long!

Hey man not a problem! I kept seeing people saying it was for the PS2 as well. Some people mentioned the PSP, but I couldn't find that setting anywhere either lol.

So officially, it looks like the PS2 and the PSVita can do it? Good to know!

Testing Chrono Trigger on the PS3 last night, I got to see just how long the load times were opening up the menu. It was BAD. I'll try it with my PS2 tonight when I get home

No one mentions the "Everything is awesome"?

Have you been watching the Lego Movie?  The Boy loves it.

My kids have watched it 4 times over the last 2 nights. I cant get that damned song out of my head.

It's a catchy little ditty. The Boy got it stuck in his head and and told me "Daddy, I've got an ear worm."

[soera]

Hah an ear worm. Apparently he watches Spongebob too.

Hah an ear worm. Apparently he watches Spongebob too.

Yeah. My life is run by cartoons.

Or possibly Wrath of Khan.

- Start upgrading my loose Genesis games to CIB
- Focus on collecting for the PS1
- Collect more gaming magazines
- Start collecting for my Japanese Saturn again (have added two games in probably a year and a half)

I tested it on my PS2 this morning before work (good excuse to be late if I've ever heard of one!) and the fast read on the PS2 had a noticeable difference, but still had very noticeable load times. So it makes it better, but still not great.

It should be noted that when I enabled it and went into the game the first time, it froze at the PS1 logo screen.... You might run into some stability issues.

Here's some videos to show you how bad it can be.

Chrono Trigger Battle Load comparison of SNES vs PS1.

Comparison of PS Vita with and without Fast Read vs PS1

The second video gives you an idea of what you'd be gaining on the PS2 I'd think. Keep in mind, this is every transition... Even opening the menu is painful

^ Like I suggested: Wii Virtual Console version. It's cheap, you get to play it on a T.V. screen, no load times, and instant saves anywhere at anytime.

The Nintendo DS version is pretty good too. Even if you can't play it on your TV or use save states, it's still another good option.

I thought Nintendo shut down the wii shop. No?

Nope, they only shut down the online functionality of games on the DS & Wii. The Wii Shop Channel and DSi Shop are still functional. Nintendo will still let you give them your money, they just won't let you have fun online with their games.

Well damn! I'm booting up the Wii this month!

That's a funny but accurate way to put it haha.
