I like using a CRT for older ones too but the OSSC is the best way to use a modern set. I haven't got an OLED but I have a VA panel in my TV which has decent contrast anyway. The IPS LCDs have awful black levels.

I use a crt for newer games too not just the older ones. I play Splatoon 2, for instance with an Hdmi to Avi converter because I prefer the glass view of the crt it adds to the viewing experience of the game and you never have to worry about input lag with a crt, no matter the console you use or the model of your crt. If you want a good input response on a flat screen your 'best' options are plasma and oled (if you can afford it, most can't yet, oled is a better value than plasma because it consumes the least on your electricity bill of all the different tv displays available. There was another type of tv just like crt, they were more huge than the largest crts' you could get does anyone know the name of it? They are just like a crt but no glass, the screen is flat like todays' tvs.

I'll be buying an OLED eventually anyway but this the OSSC makes almost any TV decent enough for old games. I use it on 3x and leave the TV in 4:3 to play them.

I'm just OK with CRT TVs but I didn't even know they could do something that a PC can't do! (have better audio than PCs) :o

Well, I'm afraid my parents won't buy them (the cables) and also I want to fix that issue I have with Burnout 3 of not being able to play it because it's really bugging me and that might require buying an official PS2 memory card since the one I have currently is unofficial. Plus I was searching through some of my country's online shopping websites and I can only find it on Ebay which means that I probably can't get results coming from my country (Hungary), I could only get results coming from places that are far away from my country like Malaysia, China and Canada and also we all know that when you buy things from Ebay, you never know if you get scammed or not.

:facepalm:

I didn't see this again. My apologies.

Oh, so you meant that! Oh, now I see. I might even give it another go :)

Well the only reason the audio on crt is better is their size. Some crts have a built in subwoofer for deep bass well most pc speakers don't include the subwoofer they just provide simple sound from just the speakers. What issue are you having with the non offical memory card? If it's a ps2 and not ps1 mem card it should work on the ps2. If its a ps1 memcard only ps1 games work on that, it has to be a ps2 mem card. I would try Amazon before Ebay to look for one.

I have one of those unofficial 16mb cards and the write speed is terribly slow compared to the original 8mb ones I have. I'm guessing some of them can be unreliable since Aaron even said it corrupted his Burnout 3 save.

Oh, that's cool. :)

I thought it would already be made obvious what memory card I have but well, I guess not. It's a 64MB PS2 memory card (since I did say I need to get an official PS2 memory card because the one I have is unofficial). And I guess the saying "bigger isn't always better" applies here since Steo said that his 16MB unofficial PS2 memory card is very slow at writing while his 8MB official one writes faster.

I'm just guessing the flash memory is poor quality used in the knock off ones. It's noticeable in games that have big saves that they take ages to save on the knock off card.

I see, so do you think the official one will fix not being able to read the save?

EDIT: I will go back to the game and see what that error message said.

If it's corrupted then it won't. If you had a freemcboot card then you'd be able to copy the save to a USB stick and have a chance of finding out what's wrong with it, but without that there's not much you can do. I guess you could still always try moving it to another card when you get one and see what happens. You have nothing to lose anyway since it's already corrupt.

EDIT: On the subject or Origins, I almost have it working properly on Linux :P

The larger the storage the longer it takes to find empty space to save your games and the longer it takes to find where your saves are stored at on the card, then again the PS2 isn't the faster hardware on the market so offical or not it is going to be slow at loading games and saving and loading save data. In regards to bigger being better the bigger storage is in fact better, you can fit more saves on a memcard with more storage but if you want a good mem card that's unoffical get the one that lets you convert usb to memery card youl get all the storage you need and the write and read speeds will depend on your usb flash drive in the usb slot of that memcard. I tried the Rayman Origins PC version demo through Wine the other day, the game ran well on Linux for me.

Without Gallium 9? You need that or else there's a lot of missing sprites. Even on the main map, the red lines are missing.

Also I'm talking about just overwriting a save and it takes over twice as long as it does on my official card. I have a modded memory card too meaning I can boot FMCB and I confirm that it has a slower write speed than the official card in every way.

Yeah, I figured that the memory card was a scam as it only has 64KB worth of space instead of 64MB so I definitely need to have an official 8MB one.

Yes, I tried it without gallium 9 (never heard of it but I just searxed it on Searx. (I didn't Google it I Searxed it.))
I didn't want to download the full game (which I have on my Steam, but because of space reasons and other games that I am currently playing I went with the smaller sized demo of the pc version.) I played through Swinging Caves and everything displayed just fine. I used Play With Linux to play the game with Wine.

I will try the full version tonight to see if I can get that running on PlayOnLinux through Steam. To be clear what are the problems you are experiencing with game and that I should look for I know you said them before but can you restate all the problems you are facing in your next post so I can compare them to see if I come up to any of those problems?

Any of the longer sprites are missing for me without gallium 9 and the easiest place to notice is on the map where you select a level, the red traced lines will be invisible.

I just got the last few Lum medals and Speed Trophies on PC so now I have officially gotten 100% in Rayman Origins. Sine I only need the Lum medals on Xbox and PS3, I might revisit those and do it because why not. I should also complete it on Vita since I've gotten to Moody Clouds on that too last time I played.

Congrats man! :)

Getting back to Origins (haha, Back to Origins :P), I'm enjoying it and I'm currently at Sea of Serendipity in the game. Also, I like how you can interact with the loading screen of Sea of Serendipity (how you can swim in the water even before you actually get to the level you chose).

Yeah I always thought the player controlled loading screens were cool. On Xbox One and PS4, Legends doesn't even have loading screens, the level starts instantly.

I'll never get tired of Origins and I'll probably complete the VITA version next just because of the mosaic puzzles.

Oh wow, really? That sucks because in the Back to Origins painting, when you go into any level of Desert of Dijiridoos, you would normally be able to interact with the piano in the loading screen that acts as the floor and make different sounds with it.

They just did it by caching stuff into the consoles RAM, but interestingly the PC version doesn't even do that, it still has a loading screen. Also yeah the piano thing is cool :)

The loading screen in Origins and Legends are black silhouettes also, but in Legends you can see his eyes on the loading screen. It's something I just thought about there :P

Yeah, and I also like that in Origins, the loading screens have like a wrinkled papery texture to them, that's also pretty cool and how they remade most of the Origins levels with the new Legends art style to them. I prefer the cartoony art style and overall art style of Origins though. Globox also looks better in Origins than in Legends in my opinion. :)
