some psx shots

[dukenukem]

not sure if we can post psx shots here feel free to lock or remove it

[Lillymon]

You're allowed to attach whatever you want as long as it's from a game. In fact, how about I make a few shots from my favourite PlayStation games. Let's start with a bit of Final Fantasy VII shall we?

[Lillymon]

Megaman X4

Zero sez: I think it's time for a cooling off period!

[Lillymon]

Ridge Racer Type 4. The best driving game I've seen for the PlayStation. Ridge Racer V can't even come close.

[Lillymon]

Umihara Kawase Shun - Second Edition. The expansion of Umihara Kawase Shun (also for the PlayStation) which is the sequel of Umihara Kawase (for the SNES).

It's a cross between a fishing game and a platformer. Seriously. You play as Kawase-san, a girl who is for some reason wandering around these stages catching walking fish with her turbo-charged fishing rod and line. Maybe she's an exterminator or something but that doesn't matter. You also get to use your super fishing rod to swing around on, pull yourself up to high ledges and do all sorts of other cool stuff with. It's really fun.

Make sure to download it from Home of the Underdogs soon...

Resident Evil 3. Ooh, scary. Actually, that Nemesis freak is pretty scary. I mean, having a 9-foot, NE-T virus infected mutant chasing you through a post-apocalyptic city filled with flesh-eating zombies and other nasties would hit anyone pretty hard.

The Japanese version still had more gore though.

[Lillymon]

Ah, now the final stretch. I have but one game left:

Tales of Phantasia

I know the SNES version is already translated, but this PS1 remake is better in every way possible! Revised script, better graphics, remixed sound, revamped battle system, longer game, more subquests, an entirely new secret character, more voice acting, kickass character portraits, sprites that look like the concept art, five FMVs, do I need to go any further?

First of three. This shows the new map. The old mode 7 thing has been replaced with a fully 3D polygon rendered map. The only sprite left is the character sprite.

[Lillymon]

Second of three. New battle system! Better colours! Better sprites! Better effects! Better gameplay!!!

[Lillymon]

Third of three. Really pretty FMV! There's only five, but they're all smooth, sharp, widescreen and overall high quality.

[pj64er]

About tales of phantasia, I prefer the original music...some of the remixed tunes seems to have lost their charm.

[dukenukem]

here's a few more:)

[dukenukem]

just love this game

[dukenukem]

pretty smooth

[dukenukem]

shocking results :bye3:

[Knuckles]

Lillymon, if you like FF7, just get it for the PC and play :P I play here with 4xS AA with my GF4MX, it's looking realllly great :)

Really? I'm listening to the PSFs now and they sound fantastic. They easily carry as much emotion as the originals. Even more in some cases.

If you are playing ToP or listening to the music, make sure reverb is on and that you're using Neill Corlett's reverb. It's accurate to the PS1 and makes the music sound infinitly better.

I hear the minigames play uncontrollably fast on a modern PC (like mine). Looks like Square forgot to implement speed throttling.

As for the PS1 version, I also use 4xAA at 640x480. Good speed, good accuracy, but I don't even like FF7 much. I prefer playing it on my PS2 is at all possible.

BTW, what's with everyone getting GeForce4 MX cards? They're less powerful than a decent (non-MX) GeForce2! I plan to upgrade to to the ATI Radeon 9800 XT when the price is reasonable. Maybe 1280x1024 with 16x anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering will be possible...

[karth95]

it's all about the feature set. The GF4 MX has most DX8 features, meaning that it'll show prettier graphics, even if they are slower than the the GF2 would display it.

I just bought a Geforce FX 5200. It's slower than the Geforce 4 TI 4200, but it has full DX 9 pixel shaders and some other cool stuff, meaning it looks better than the 4200 does, even if it's slower.

Tell Rice that. His plugin looks better on a GF2 than it does on any MX card.

[karth95]

That's funny, considering that he develops it on a GF4MX card.

No, you are wrong. Geforce 4 MX 440 and MX 460 are better than a regular Geforce 2. Only Geforce 4 MX 420 is worse.

[Emutalkman]

Sorry but you are wrong too. :unsure: GF4 MX doesn't support DX8 features, not even GF4 Ti supports them all (Ti doesn't support PS 1.4) Geforce 4 MX is, basically, an overclocked GF2.

[Hexidecimal]

Now you're wrong, my GF4 MX 440 supports up to DX8.

[Emutalkman]

Now you're wrong, my GF4 MX 440 supports up to DX8.

Then your GF4 MX 440 must be special because GF4 MX cards don't support DX8. You can see it at any tech site: Anandtech, Guru3d, Beyond3d, Tomshardware, Hothardware, Digitlife, etc, etc, etc.

[ray16]

Now you're wrong, my GF4 MX 440 supports up to DX8.


GF4 MX cards are not DX8. They are pretty much just really powerfull GeForce 2's (except MX420, they aren't more powerfull) with a few extra features. They only support DX7 features, that means no pixel or vertex shaders and no eviroment maped bumpmapping. nVidia fooled a lot of people with the GF4 MX line.




Sorry but you are wrong too. GF4 MX doesn't support DX8 features, not even GF4 Ti supports them all (Ti doesn't support PS 1.4) Geforce 4 MX is, basically, an overclocked GF2.



GeForce 4 Ti cards fully support DirectX 8.0, but not DirectX 8.1 (8.1 is when PS1.4 was added).

[Tagrineth]

Now you're wrong, my GF4 MX 440 supports up to DX8.

They're "compatible" with DX8 in that DX8-coded games can run on them without errours.

They are not "compliant" with DX8 though, in that no DX8 pixel or vertex shaders will run on them. (vertex shaders are run in software, just like on any older card with DX7 T&L or no hardware T&L at all)

[Lillymon]

Is my ATI Radeon 8500LE much better?

[Emutalkman]

GeForce 4 Ti cards fully support DirectX 8.0, but not DirectX 8.1 (8.1 is when PS1.4 was added).

Yes, It's correct. That's what i meant. ;)

[Emutalkman]

Is my ATI Radeon 8500LE much better?

It depends on what Radeon 8500LE you have. But in general, if your card core/mem speeds are 250/250, yes, it is quite a bit better than GF4 MX 440 and it supports all DX8.1 features. But in emulation to have a better performance/featured card doesn't always mean you'll have better performace. Geforce cards are better than Ati's ones for some plugins/emulators. :doh:

[Guru64]

Lol...
Is this a PSX screenshots thread or a discusion about Geforce 4 MX?

[BabyBee]

what game is that screenshot from of the little dude on stilts and a guy putting an amputated leg up to his mouth?
and maws

EDIT: My 2 shots are from the real thing using my capture card :)

[cooliscool]

Here's 5 from FFVII then i'll post some Megaman X6 ;).

It's times like these when I'm not really ashamed to own a Celeron or a GeForce4 MX. :canadian:

[cooliscool]

Shots are with all the most taxing effects, including sound. All reverb effects, interpolation, etc, are on. 4xFSAA is on too. :p

Nasty green lines, thanks 2xsai. {}:{

Last from FF7, I'll take some MMX6 shots w/ 2xsai in a bit. :P
