I’ve been enjoying emulating games recently - mostly NES, ps1 and gba - and I’m looking to branch out from my limited familiarity as I mostly play games I’ve played in the past (and then it was mostly rentals- so very limited exposure lol).
What games would you recommend checking out? Basically across any ps1-equivalent generation system or earlier. I’m interested in the FF series but have no idea where to start either 🤷♂️
My rotation atm:
PS1: Medal of Honor, ssx,
GBA: Pokémon firered, wario
NES: castlevania, ninja gaiden
The PS1 had some great ports of arcade games that afaik don’t play well in MAME. Tekken 1-3, Ridge Racer, Soul Edge, Rival Schools, Ehrgeiz, Star Galdiator, are some. Duckstation is a fantastic emulator and a favorite of mine.
Depending on your hardware, Ridge Racer 1 and 2 actually run fine now in MAME, and I think even Rave Racer might work. The PS1 version is relatively impressive for a launch title, but it’s still a stripped down port most notably running at 30 FPS.
Yeah my pc is jank and really can’t do 3D mame titles, so I’m forced to stick with duckstation ports, good to know otherwise though.
My partner and I got really into rival schools off one of the capcom fighting collections. That shit is so wacky in the best way
RS was my jam growing up and I was pretty good at it, used to beat my friends all the time with Roberto and Akira.
You’ve played the game, but have you heard the band? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcRt7kkzcxM
