Rule 3 is changing: r/psx is Not the Place to Advertise Your Indie Games

188 Upvotes

tl;dr the fine print of Rule 3 has been adjusted to explicitly forbid modern indie games unless playable on original hardware (homebrew)

It's my own fault that this change has to be made, I allowed a few "psx-inspired" indie game posts to remain up despite breaking the rules because of the large amount of upvotes they received.

I'd post and sticky comments like "It's off topic but y'all like it so I'll leave it up". My approach to moderation has always been to let the community make content decisions when appropriate. Unfortunately adjustments need to be made to protect the subject matter of this community.

Due to the massive influx of shovelware indie games that are "psx inspired" getting posted here, I'm sorry to say that Rule 3 will have to be more strictly enforced.

From this point forward, for indie games to be posted here they will have to be playable on PSX hardware or an emulator. Games that run on real hardware fall firmly into the category of homebrew, which is perfectly appropriate to discuss here. Games that run in PSX emulators but not real hardware are also allowed. "Retro Inspired" or "PSX Inspired" games that do not fulfill either of those 2 requirements will be removed and the poster will get a 24 hour ban.

The ban is meant to be informative to the poster, not punitive. However repeat offenders will be permanently banned.

Here is a friendly flowchart to help you decide whether or not it's appropriate to post your indie game in this community:

Thank you for reading and thank you for posting. Best of luck in all your indie dev adventures.

I really love how some PS1 games went for this dark sci-fi militaristic aesthetic with teal-colored environments.

I did a quick and dirty static recompilation for the PS1 version of Colin McRae rally with some improvements. A childhood classic for me.
It now has widescreen, runs at 60fps with anti-aliasing, at native screen resolution. The drawdistance was also increased. It's also moddable, I carried some GT2 cars over to play myself.

First time using a Original Playstation controller without joysticks. Do you like them?

Post image
88 Upvotes

Which do you prefer? I just got the one without joysticks. Never used one before today at all. always had joystick controllers as my PS1 was given to me for Christmas 1998.

Wanted to get the joystickless controller for the 8bitdo mod kit to make it wireless. I never really used the joysticks that much anyways. But I also wanted to add this controller to my collection just to have one.

Does anyone actually prefer the Original? I actually kinda like that they are lighter. But of course having the joysticks is a great option if you play a game that allows them.

Ps one (scph-102 ) güç sorunu

I’ve recently taken an interest in retro gaming. I tried firing up my old PS1, but when I press the power button, the green light just flickers on and off—there’s likely a short circuit. Upon opening the console, I noticed that the wire I’ve marked in red is disconnected, but I can’t figure out where it’s supposed to be soldered. I’ve looked for reference material, but I haven’t found a soldering diagram that matches my unit; the connection points for these wires seem to be different from what I’m seeing in other examples. Could you help me out?

Hey everyone I'm a game dev hobbyist working on 3D models of various 90s properties, the ultimate goal is a platform fighter comprised solely from media of that era. Until then, I'd like to share some fan art I've been working on to help complete one of my models.
