  • The 280v is a great little handheld. It's perfect for 16 bit systems like GBA, SNES, and older stuff like NES, GB, GBC, SEGA, ATARI, etc, but it has the guts to handle some 3d stuff, and since PlayStation is the easiest 3d console to emulate, I wanted to do an extended test in a whole bunch of games to see how it handled everything.
    So yeah, we're all loaded up with a big batch of PS1 games. I googled the most popular PS1 games and I got pretty much everything off the list, so if there's a big PS1 game that you're looking to see tested you'll probably see it here. Lots of these games I haven't played, but lots of them I have. I had a PS1 back in the day and I loved it, so playing through some of these games will be a blast from the past. I don't want to get into technical discussions of FPS and performance tweaks, I just want to know what plays well right out of the box, if it plays okay or not. I already did some preliminary testing and, spoiler alert, pretty much everything ran great. So without further adieu, let's PLAY SOME GAMES.
    I couldn't decide how to organize the list, so I'm just going to go alphabetically.

    Wondering if maybe you have any tips. I recently got a RG280M and got adamas image successfully installed and going. Every ps1 game has run but I can't get Rayman to boot past the ubisoft screen. Just stays stuck. I've tried redownloading the ROM from different places thinking maybe its the source but nope same thing every time. I'm stumped

    • @TechDweeb
      @TechDweeb  Před rokem

      My only suggestion would be to use PSX Packager to turn your image (or bin/cue files) into a PBP file. That has worked for me in the past, getting a game to load that wouldn't.

    Just an 280v recently. Unfortunately, three PS1 games become unplayable:
    1) Nanotek Warrior didn't go beyond the intro screen
    2) Ghost in the Shell PS1 is just black screen
    3) Future Cop LAPD just crashed.
    Can you help?

      Mini - Better size. More pocket friendly. Better screen. I prefer the look of the mini. Software has some nice bells & whistles.
      280v - a bit more powerful. Different but still cool retro look. More 'premium' feeling in the hands. I love the adam image software.
      Both are great, but the mini wins, for me at least.

      I didn't play the PS2 one, but I LOVED the PS1 games (1 and 2). I was (and still am) a stealth fan NUT. They weren't exactly stealth, they're kinda cheesy now that I look at them again years later, but at the time they really sucked me in. I also played that one on the Xbox 360 but I didn't love it nearly as much as the originals.
