This is pretty crazy, the PSP emulator PPSSPP has being modded to allow VR support!

It allows you to pan the in game camera using head tracking and it features true stereoscopic 3D!

Also theres Dolphin VR which emulates the Nintendo Gamecube and Wii U and i think it has true stereoscopic 3D also:

And heres one for ciderman, it even seems to support Metroid Prime. I think its time you built that gaming PC now!

The idea of Metroid Prime in VR is a dream come true, and because the game is that bit slower paced than most first person titles, it's ideally suited to the format.
Just a pity there isn't a VR headset for the Switch.... not yet...
Perhaps a Google Cardboard headset is in order!

Damn... I think I'll give DolphinVR a go later on with Metal Gear: Twin Snakes.

Damn, now I want a VR headset...

(and that my pc was powerful enough to run one!)

So this is probably even more niche than the niche things I occasionally post.

A huge academic paper on the creation of The Hobbit adventure game on 8 bit computers. Needs a tl;dr but it's actually very interesting.

God damn it, thought I had a PVM 2130QM I've been after for ages in the bag last night on ebay. Northern Ireland seller, local pickup only, only one bidder for the whole time it was listed. Pretty terrible photos too. Seller had a friend who travels to Dublin and was going to drop it to me. Done and dusted, new monitor for me!

Last 10 seconds it was on £70 so I threw in a max proxy bid of £150 in the assured knowledge I was going to get it.

Went for £190 in the end :eek: (not to me!)

So I was on ebay looking for a cheap AES game to buy to test out my console. I thought I'd pick up a jap Samurai Spirits II as it's one of the best Neo games and also one of the cheapest.

'Sure I'll see if I can find a PAL version first'

- o1s1n ebay searches Samurai Showdown II

Did you mean Samurai Shodown II?

Yeah, turns out I've been spelling the name of the game incorrectly for 25 years.

Retr0gamer · 14-03-2018 10:01AM

I think I only corrected myself 5 years ago so not the only one

CiDeRmAn · 14-03-2018 10:09AM

Turns out I was spelling SoR wrong for years.
It is actually spelled "Sh1tes of Rage"... go figure....

o1s1n · 14-03-2018 10:21AM

Sh1tes of Rage? Isn't that what you play the morning after a heavy night of Guinness? :pac:

Starting to look pretty likely that the new From Software game is a successor to Kuon.

The price on the original is going to go even more crazy, isn't it?

14-03-2018 03:11PM

Never heard of Kuon before. Is it any good?

I really enjoyed watching you guys play that at a beers a couple of years ago, been on my list since then! Might see if I can buy it now in case it goes up in price anymore.

o1s1n · 14-03-2018 04:26PM

Argh, found a European BIN copy in Germany and got it for 40 euro - THEN ebay tells me he doesn't ship to Ireland/the UK.

Have asked him for an exception now, fingers crossed..would love to give it a go.

edit - got it!

Is it? I think I got it for e20 and Ciderman got it too but I might be wrong. I saw trailers for it when it was coming out. Pretty tough when I played it

Yeah, I had it then sold it on for around €100 or so, some mad money for PS2 games out there.
And yet, really really good ones like Transformers and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe go for pennies.

It's mad, sure RoR is the same, can't believe I turned down getting it at 60. Think I'll just get the Japanese version no way I'm paying that money.
I saw Persona 3 for e70 in Cex last week.

wheresmahbombs · 14-03-2018 09:10PM

I got a new copy of Wind Waker HD for around the same price as (or possibly less than) what I paid for a used GC version in CeX, which BTW had a fake case.

DinoRex · 14-03-2018 11:38PM

It's pretty tough from what I've played of it, but you can definitely see how it was a precursor to Demon's Souls, especially in the way you equip magic and items.

Don't feel so bad, the Japanese have been mispelling their own arcade games for years!

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy · 15-03-2018 01:15AM

He's in a few SMT games this is 4 Final / Apocalypse
(never knew he was a DLC boss in it too)

Looking for Kuon right now on eBay.

I'm really going to have to bulk up my PS2 collection. Had an alright day with Paddy Power today. Turned €3.50 into €76.00 so might treat myself to Kuon

Burzum · 15-03-2018 08:06PM

Going to buy a game bundle and the seller wants to be paid via bank transfer, If he doesnt end up sending on the items do I have comeback with my bank to get my money back?

CiDeRmAn · 15-03-2018 08:40PM

So, I wired my Spice GC into my existing GC setup and got a crappy grey/green image.
My Pal RGB cable is not playing nice with the NTSC GC and the monitor.

I don't think so, be wary!
