Je remets ce vieux thread sur de magnifiques covers de jeux vidéo. Pas envie qu'il disparaisse. A l'époque où j'étais en coloc avec L'aspi, on avait tout compilé dans un dossier une multitude d'illustrations très laides qu'on trouvait dans les magasins ou sur le net.
Je commence avec Snow White And The 7 Clever Boys, un jeu PS2, la contrefaçon de Phoenix Games:
Ce soir, ça sera surtout un hommage à Phoenix Games.
Je continue avec la cover de Cartoon Kingdom avec du dalmatiens Disney style sur la jaquette, mais aussi Coco Lapin, des souris dégueux sûrement là pour faire apprendre l'anglais aux enfants, sans oublier un smiley sous LSD.
Peter Pan du même studio était pas mal aussi...
Et c'est marrant car, ingame, les jeux n'avaient pas du tout le même style visuel. En tout cas, ces 3 jeux là ressemblaient plus à des mini game (style puzzles, etc) dans un style graphique plus proche des Zelda foireux du CD-i.
On continue la thématique "Phoenix Games" avec la cover de Cinderella, toujours sur PS2. Les 2 jeux cités sont tout aussi douteux visuellement ingame, mais dans un style différent.
@catgirlfingies has to be #GodOfWar 2, which incidentally was also my first #PS2 game.
I played a whole bunch of great games on the PS2, but none of them as often as GoW2.
It still looks great, especially if you run it upscaled through an emulator. 😎
Edit: got my God of War mythology messed up. 😅 I wrote in the image descriptions that Kratos was holding the Blades of Olympus. The blade of Olympus is the sword Zeus gives Kratos. The blades are the Blades of Athena.
Dragon Quest VIII. Not just peak #dragonquest , but probably one of my favorite #rpg . It wasn't ashamed of being a turn based RPG like so many series that tried modernizing during that time. It was Dragon Quest, but in 3D, and for the western version, fully orchestrated and voice acted.
It's still a beautiful game, and the cell shading lets it stand the test of time better than many games from the #ps2
oh holy hot damn, the founder of PCSX2 is making their own PS4 emulator now
interested to see how that'll turn out, i know there's already a few other PS4 emulators out there rn, makes me wonder how this will be approached since the PS4 is more PC hardware than the completely alien hardware of the PS2
@EeveeEuphoria not really.
When my local #GameStop closed I got 360s for like €15 per piece, so there's ample of cheap hardware and all versions but the 07/2014 amd later made "Winchester" models of the #Xbox360 are fully moddable with #RGH8 requiring only a @Raspberry_Pi#PiPico and a #Postfix adapter for flashing.
So there is not a lot of motivation compared to i.e. #Gamecube, #Wii & #PS2 that didn't have #HDMI output.

Listening to the fantastic #WildArms5 soundtrack at work. Such an underrated game, possibly the best in the series.
I really miss those games. #WildArms was always special to me.
It's the weekend and I'm knee-deep in this #Sony#PSX (the actual PSX DESR-5000).
It seems the DVD recording laser is shot and I have to source a new one.😬
Also: judging from that internal power connector I can probably put a REPS2 psu in there. #RetroGaming#Playstation#PS2
The #aynOdin runs #Android unless I'm mistaken, but the upcoming #aynLoki is going to have a #ryzen chipset so I wonder what OS it will use. It's probably going to be a #SteamOS or some custom #Linux build. Thing is, I mainly want it for #emulation of #retrogames, namely #Wii, and #PS2/PS3. Might be better off getting a #SteamDeck?
The built-in mouse driver provides wheel support for application aware of CuteMouse extensions; examples include Necromancer’s DOS Navigator and Mpxplay.
The original CuteMouse driver version 2.1 is also able to use the PS/2 mouse wheel, just start it with 'CTMOUSE /o'.
-Serial mice emulation
Numerous serial (COM port) mice are now emulated:
original Microsoft mouse with 2 buttons
Logitech mouse, with 3 buttons
wheel mouse with 3 buttons
Mouse Systems mouse (old mouse type, not compatible with the ones listed above), with 3 buttons
To enable serial mouse, user the SERIAL 1 mouse command (this will attach it to the COM1 port), or edit the [serial] section of the configuration file. By default, DOSBox Staging tries to determine what kind of mouse the game or application expects.
With serial mouse emulation, Windows 1.01 is finally usable!
Well, this should be an interesting rabbit hole to go down.
I bought this as "junk/without guarantee".
Hopefully I'll be able to get it up and running again.🙏
I also hope the laser isn't fried, heard it's the weak point. #RetroGaming#Playstation#PSX#PS2#TiVo
I don't use Reddit much. But I can't help but closely follow cool little weird niche subreddits for stuff I love-- mainly the PS2, Wii, Looney Tunes, and Disenchantment ones. 😂
