Is anyone else making progress with these 128Gb images?

I’ve progressed as far as ordering an SD card.

Well, that is progress.

No games, but everything else should be set up for you avoiding a lot of faff and creating a nice front end that you can dump games into and have them matched up with artwork and additional info that’s sorely lacking on things like Retropie that simply give you a list of machines/titles.

Ooh, the ones I saw didn’t include ROMs.

The 128Gb ones have loads, in fact I read somewhere that 64Gb of that is the Attract Mode video clips so you are looking at 64Gb of roms. Obviously the PS1 images will take up a fair amount of space.

There’s almost nothing on PS1 that I’d have any interest in playing, fortunately.

I’ll be looking for something featuring the 8 and 16 bit systems plus MAME, the stuff I want from 32 bit systems I can add as and when myself. The early days of 3D hold very little appeal to me.

For me, it’s not that I have no interest in playing PS1 games, but I have a PS1 for playing those. My (still very much imagined) project is a table top machine with an arcade stick and buttons, loaded with 8-bit, 16-bit and arcade stuff.

There is a ton of stuff on PS1 well worth playing, some of it even 3D.
FPSs are universally shit to play, as is pretty much anything with a user controlled camera. Still leaves a load of fighters, shmups, puzzlers etc.

Off the top of my head:

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Bishi Bashi Special
Bust a Move
R - Type Delta
Final Fantasy 7,8,9
Vagrant Story
Chrono Crisis
Dino Crisis 2
Crash Bandicoot 1,2,3
Metal Slug X
Mr Driller

I'm not itching to play anything in particular on PS1, but I'd find plenty to play with a pool of titles to choose from.  We (retroking, myself and a non forum type) went through a brief period of buying joblots of disc-no-box PS titles on Ebay a while ago to play on PS3.  Most were crap, especially the non desirable dirt cheap games - the sort of stuff we used to sell on what was known as 'the spindle' at Game, budget titles like 'Family Games Compendium' - but panning for gold amongst turds is fun with a few beers.  Enjoyed some of the curios like RC Stunt Copter and Gekido.  

If I had full Saturn emulation I'd probably take a week off work.

Saturn is definitely a better go to but, yeah, emulation is the fuck.

I got a full set but I can't remember where from.
Will have a think and get back to you if I remember.

They're ISO's my Pi only works with .bin and .cue files.

That's been out a while afaik

They've just boosted the CPU speed, it's essentially the same.

Do we have some kind of B&B ROM stockpile? Might be handy as many Nintendo games got pulled last year.

Yet another new RPi, the 3A+.
