I wished i kept mine (dreamcast) so don’t do the same mistake as i do ... For Virtua Tennis, it’s slighter less eye-catching than the dreamcast version but it’s still has good. PM if you want it…

For the Playstation, i use EPSXE 1.6.0 . it’s pretty easy to config and you just have to place a playstation disc inside your TR to be ready to play the game (or an iso… it will be faster to load and use)

Sooo…..  Anyone have the stones yet to try Doom 3?

It’s OpenGL, so that means the TR has a chance of at least loading the thing.  I’ve no Windows installation at the moment, so I can’t test it out.

Searching is such a wonderful thing
 

That’s cool. Would you consider posting some TR-specific pointers? Suggested gamepad options, graphics resolution, drivers, etc? Maby even doing a gr00vy type tutorial?

This is all new to me, but it sounds like a fun addition to my TR. Never really looked into emulation as I have a ps/2.

Thanks!

I forgot to log-in that was me up top :D

I’ve got a full membership to Valve’s Steam service, so I’ve tried (and play constantly) Half Life, Counter Strike and Counter Strike: Condition Zero.  For each of them I’ve set the resolution to 800x600 (not widescreen) and they’re very playable, superb refresh rates.  Enough for me to do well enough online

Also, System Shock 2 works like a charm.  By the way, if you’re into FPS or RPG games, get System Shock 2.  One of the best games I’ve ever played.

One other thing; the aforementioned Steam membership gives me access to the Counter Strike: Source beta, which is a new version of Counter Strike based on the Half Life 2 engine.  So I’ll set Steam to grab the beta tonight and test it out tomorrow.

If it works, then that’s a very strong indication Half Life 2 will work on my poor TR2B

I got the Counter Strike: Source demo.  It’s completely unplayable :-(

Even at the lowest resolution (640x480) and all the details set to the lowest, it gets about 8 frames per second.  Oh well.

I’m wondering if anyone knows how well World of WarCraft would perform on a TR2.  I just got accepted into the stress test.

Lukeboy, I play in widescreen with my TR for cz.  All you have to do is trick it by zooming in.  You might think it is ghetto.  But it looks sweet with the widescreen.

I also think this kicks a$$ on the TR

Yeah, I use the screen expansion (without the zoom), so there’s no borders or anything; it’s just that the aspect is incorrect.

Been playing the World of WarCraft Stress Test on a TR2 and it’s not too bad at 1024x768 and default details.  Does get pretty choppy in the big citys like Stormwind though.  You guys might want to try it out when it hits open beta.

Here’s my report:
Half Life: Counter Strike - Quite playable, infact it’s fun when you play on a wireless g connection.
Half Life: Day of Defeat - Playable, seemed to be a few fps behind Counter-Strike
Battlefield 1942 - Quite playable, had a lot of fun flying a plane with the thumbpad.
Battlefield Vietnam - Framerates chug, quite unplayable.
Grand Theft Auto 3 - Playable, framerates chug a little bit.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - Couldn’t install it (think install cd is scratched)
Need For Speed: High Stakes - Couldn’t install it (will try again later)
Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed - Purely Awesome, great framerate, and it fills up the whole screen (and is in aspect).
Hitman: Codename 47 (the first one) - Good, very good.

About 417 games left to test (from Red Baron to Rise of Nations).

All the above tests were performed on my unmodified version of the TR3A, (512mb of RAM, Win XP Home, no updates installed for Direct X, or for the Intel 855 chipset.)  I will be testing these games again and much more on 1 Gb of Ram and with Win XP Pro).

Howdy all,

Total TR5 n00b here (just got mine from icube a few days ago).  So far so good, lovin this machine (just trying to get my pudgy fingers used to the layout)

thanks for all the posts on which games are good to go etc…  couple of questions was hoping to get help with:

1. For Counter-Strike, will source beta run?  If so, what’s the process to get it to work right-after installing, set the video to be in widescreen then be in zoom mode for it to work/run properly?

2. couple of pages ago, fibrizo mentioned a hack-Emulate HM TNL Caps-anyone get it to work?  is it necessary to play more intense FPS like Halo, Call of Duty, UT2004 etc…

3. don’t understand the “adaptive” processor feature/function.  Is there a better setting for gaming?  if so, how do you set it?

4. Saw that utility, VirtualDrive, which was mentioned earlier~for those that used it, does it work by copying the entire game to your HD?  I’d prefer not to do that as HD space is kinda small for me (aside from gaming, I’m using it for HardDisk Recording.. chews up lotsa space).

Thanks folks-I ended up buying my TR thanks to all of you-proving that it can game

Ciao and thanks in advance!  8)

Hows it going?

Counter-strike open source is unplayable….at least on a tr3a with 1 gb of ram.

To change your processor from adaptive to “performance”...

You need to right click on “power management” on the sys tray, don’t confuse it with the “battery icon” in the system tray. 

Upon right clicking on “power management”, click on “show power management settings”

Once the screen opens click on the draw menu under “Plugged in” and select the “power management off” one.  That will change you processor to performance when it’s plugged in.

If you click under “battery powered” you can click on “games” which will make your processor on performance when your on battery power alone.

Have a good one, and welcome to Sony TR World.
