There's not really much to salvage if the motherboard is dead. You can grab the data off the hard drive but there's not a whole lot that can be repurposed. The processor would be no good and the graphics card was pretty much he only thing that still kind of worked and was re-used just not for myself. The hard drive just became a part of a RAID.
SIE has only been based out of California since 2016. Before then, it was based out of Tokyo Japan. Sony has had studios in America for years, but SIE itself was traditionally based in Japan.
If your motherboard died, you just replaced the motherboard. Everything else (computer case, fans, GPU, hard drive, etc.) should be fine, unless you spilled water on the thing or something.
The board I could not directly replace with an equivalent model, so I had to go higher than I wanted and since the previous one had an integrated processor I could not remove the processor. So it was the board and processor that were not good.
I don't see what was so uncommon about them, people add shit to pre-builts all the time to suit their needs.
Since WHEN? If anything, PC players are quite vocal about "always online" because of DRM and preservation. Have you not heard of LAN play? Local Area Network connectivity to where you won't NEED Internet to play with other computers.
That's what I mean, it's the developers who treat it as an afterthought.
But you're blaming PC gaming as a whole. If anything, with MS and Sony releasing their exclusives onto PC, that proves there's a market within PC gaming.
I blame the analogy store for giving you a bad analogy.
Did you go there before or after your visit to the copium shop?
Copium shop? Nah those were made illegal awhile ago here.
Well if he had a shitty amd integrated apu/mobo combo that was built for SFF's in the late 00's, that makes sense. But it's 2022 so I doubt it
That hasn't been the case for like a decade now. It sounds like you're basing your judgment of the entirety of PC gaming off of the schlockiest Japanese games out there, that still have retarded issues like having to manually choose between KBM or controllers rather than just having both work in tandem, or like, not being able to change the resolution. Those are still happening, but not NEARLY to the extent they used to, and I can't think of a single game with such stupid issues that isn't from a Japanese developer that focuses on consoles first.
It would, but then, replacing those with desktops with 2060s? Why go for the small form factor then in the first place?
The PS3 had compatibility with the majority of PS2 games and all PS1 games. The Xbox 360/One is more limiting with BC. Of course, licensing issues with OG Xbox games prevent full compatibility.
True - although unfortunately the two PS3s I own are both later models that cannot run PS2 discs. The PS3 is definitely choice for running PS1 discs however, they run MGS1 and SH1 super crisp and much better than even one of my PS2s that doesn't have AV cord issues.
Oh man I didn't even need to name titles and you got it right on the money. But it's not just limited to Japan, Koreans and China do it too.
I don't think they were amd but they were late 2010's. They worked for a few years. When I repurposed the cards I said they would be fine for video calls and basic shit but I wouldn't use them for heavy duty shit just due to all the stuff we ran them through. The current machines were gotten shortly before everything went to absolute shit so they're around 2. If things shake out to be fine around november I'll probably start to replace them.
Sony was initially better with backwards compatibility up until the PS4. MS has embraced BC with their consoles better than Sony now.
Is it true that the optic laser on fat ps2s ticking timebombs
Marissa Moira is always trying way too hard with the all-knowing smartass act, even on topics he has little to no grasp about (be computers, linguistics, video games, etc), and we're already past the point of assuming he's been merely trolling all that time. It's both annoying and sad frankly.
