Racing Lagoon, my beloved! First ever game I legally acquired and played on modern hardware

heh, i went sort of the opposite route - it was one of the first games i tried on my SD card modded PS1 when the english translation came out. blew my mind that you could run a patched game on original hardware, letalone one never released in the US

And that's why old tech is just superior! I only tip my toes into these kinds of modding scenes as a casual observer, but it's actually crazy what people are capable of pulling off!

Hell. Yes. Also, Racing Lagoon forever!

One of the coolest games to ever hit the PS1

ty for putting ps1 era dnb over this video

i'll have you know that's just what racing lagoon sounds like already (the OST is *really* good)

literally had this playing in the background when you posted the first video www.youtube.com/watch?v=45tW...

Is this Racing Lagoon?

is the bending affecting memory reads or something? very cool to be able to create this kind of effect inside the rendered image

as far as i understand it these are all GPU bends. game logic remains stable even when framerates drop to near zero due to the amount of polygons getting thrashed. a surprising amount of games let you bend and un-bend them without having to reset the console

guessing, because seems related to how it fills polys... maybe adding noise to the path where textures are requested or read? not sure, I don't know a lot about PSX hardware, but it is super cool to see it do its thing

Huhhhhh I happen to have a pile of ps1s I don't need 🤔

huh i might know someone who knows what to do with those

Is there much written about how to do this? I've done some electronics stuff and I'm not afraid to kill a few things along the way
