Topic: SOTN ebay experience

[DoctaMario]

Sorry to hear that man.

I bought a used Sega Saturn on eBay and the retard that i bought it from packed it in a paper thin cardboard box with no padding.  : So needless to say, by the time it reached me the laser was broken and wouldn't read anything. I tried to get my money back but I wasn't successful. But I left him some bad feedback.

I also am planning on buying SotN soon. I haven't played it and I'd like to. Trouble is, I don't have a PSone...

If you've got a pc from at least the last 3-4 years ePSXe is the way to go. the emulation on SOTN is perfect, it slows down entering some menu's if you're playing from a cd but if you have the ISO it runs smoothly - also comes with built in gameshark and you can use save states.

It's not particularly difficult to set up, it supports joypads and there's a website you can get all the plugins you need. The Bios SCPH0001 etc can easily be found on most peer to peer clients and that includes the european and japanese bios so it doesn't limit you to an NTSC copy of the game if you can find a cheaper PAL or Jap version.

You can probably find a pre configured ePSXe if you use torrents. I own the game but my bedroom is small so emulating it via this program is nice and convenient, stops me dragging the PS1 out of the cupboard and creating a mess with wires so there's that benefit too.

In a way I'm sort of jealous. I wish I could experience SotN for the first time again, or really any amazing game. It's so hard to find new games being so innovative and amazing these days.

Anyone who hasn't played it, when you do, I'm sure you'll see what all the love is about

Well, I just bought a PS1 for eight bucks on Ebay. The description said it worked perfectly and comes with all the cables. If that doesn't work out, though, could you hit me with some links?

If you have real copy of the game it should play on the PS2.

Don't have PS2 either. I'm a Nintendo gamer.

I'll have to do some digging for the links as i've not looked it up in a while but no problem.

You're on your own finding the Bios tho, those are a little harder to find but like I say.. it is possible. Torrents and peer to peer

Thanks man.

Here's the link to the Emulator.

And as far as i'm aware you should be able to find the right plugins here.

It should run SOTN fine. I have run from my original CD and the only slowdown is in the menus and when you pick up a hp max up or whatever they're called ( After killing a boss )

ngemu hasn't had plugins for quite a bit now and what type of computer would this be run on Algernon?

I never realised, I guess when you have all the plugins you need and it runs fine theres not generally a point in checking back every now and again to see if they're still there.

I assume plugins are pretty easy to come across like Peops and the like? google should find them easily enough surely?

Wow, that's really too bad, dude. I actually haven't run into problems with eBay (Lucky me!  ) and I buy majority of my stuff from there.

Anyway, I think the price should have been an indicator of low quality... the game is worth a lot more. But regardless, he should have been more honest. The again, there's a strong possibility he just has no clue what he's doing and though t the game was fine. Doesn't make it any less wrong though.
