PlayStation does what MAMEdon't: list of PS1 arcade ports

@matchaman Some corrections from taking a quick look at this:
The arcade versions of Wonder3 (3 Wonders), Strikers 1945, Dodonpachi, and In The Hunt ran fine last time I checked.
There was never an arcade version of Harmful Park.
Daphne games inferior to the ps1 versions? haha.
I wish I could get the Daphne version of Time Gal running but I gave up a while back.

If I recall correctly, Cyberbots works fine on FBA. Also, another (exceptionally good) alternative to Mortal Kombat Trilogy is the Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy rom hack for UMK3 on the Genesis.

Updated with the aforementioned corrections. As for the Laserdisc titles, I am having trouble with several Daphne titles and that's why I suggested those instead.

The Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy hack is great and even more complete than MKT but the graphics are quite limited in comparison.

I am having trouble with several Daphne titles

I've never heard an explanation as to why, but several titles are indeed non-functional on the Rpi version of Daphne.

The Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy hack is great and even more complete than MKT but the graphics are quite limited in comparison.

Something else to consider is the release of 'Mortal Kombat Trilogy' for DOS. It is a direct port of MKT v1.1 for the Playstation, but it eliminates load times which, among other things, makes playing as Shang Tsung smooth as glass.

matchaman

I didn't know about the DOS port! Great to hear because indeed those loading times where unjustified for the content.

I'd add JoJo's Adventure to the list; much better in both PS1 and Dreamcast as supposed to MAME or FBA, which are choppy and laggy af

As always, depending on your board/sd/setup, YMMV

@Shizzmoney On which Pi is Jo Jo slower? It runs fullspeed on my pi2 and my pi3 using fba.

matchaman

Both JoJo games run fine on my stock Pi 3 with lr-fba, I see no slowdown whatsoever.

Also under AdvanceMame Jojo runs perfect as well as Warzard and SF3:2nd Strike, as far as CPS3 is concerned.

matchaman

Updated with Capcom vs. SNK Pro. I always thought it's the same with SNK vs Capcom but it's a totally different game, with Capcom-based style instead!

barbudreadmon

Taito F3 ("Bubble Bobble 2", "Arkanoid Returns", "Cleopatra Fortune", "Darius Gaiden", ...) is supported in fba since 2 months (release .40).

Darksavior

@barbudreadmon Unfortunately, they're too slow to be enjoyable. ~30fps in fba. ~45fps in mame2003.

sirhenrythe5th

@Darksavior i got Taito F3 Games playable under AdvanceMame since v3.x
Give it a try 😉

UDb23

@matchaman said in PlayStation does what MAMEdon't: list of PS1 arcade ports:

Rampage World Tour

works fine on Pi3 with mame. Check here.

Sexy Parodius

Also works fine.

Darksavior

@sirhenrythe5th It's not a libretro core. I'm spoiled:P I'm fine with whatever ports ended up on ps1.

pjft

Correct. Bubble Symphony runs great on AdvMame.

Time Crisis works (or should work) with a pad, though it's far from ideal. I owned it on the PSX with the light gun, and it was a fun game to play. You'd plug in a second pad to the player 2 port and use it as a pedal.

Class.

Edit: oh. You missed Bishi Bashi Special. Great multiplayer party-like game.

matchaman

Updated with your notes.

I personally avoid non-libretro emulators, I'm also spoiled! :D

Shizzmoney

@Darksavior I just used a new rom dump for jojo.zip and it worked. I must of had a bad dump previously.

sirhenrythe5th

@matchaman just to unterstand this for me: what is the big advantage of using libreto-Mame?
Is it only the point that you dont have to map the Inputs a second time or is there something else?

pjft

@sirhenrythe5th Well, kind of, yeah. There's also filters, and a few other amenities (I suppose netplay would be a factor if more people used it), but yes - for me at least it's just the ease of standardization and setup across systems.

I have tried AdvMame - and truth be told am using it for a set of ROMs that don't run anywhere else, so that's great! - but the scanline effect on low-res games are a bit too dense for my liking. Still, its speed is certainly second to none for these newer games.
