Just ordered a copy from Japan. 16AUD with free shipping on ebay.
It will look nice on my ps1 bookshelf
I do have a vita but I mostly play PSP games on it (it is on CFW).
Ps1 games I play mostly on a real ps1 but I use a PSIO and run the ripped games off an SD card.
(these laser caddies are not gonna last forever)
((I have two original ps1 and one slim with the lcd thing you could connect to it. I love playstation!))

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
This is a hidden gem for sure, .. Gamera 2000 ! Basically the psx's Panzer Dragoon but with gamera and ultra cheesy cutscenes, i just love this game
Oh, I forgot this existed. Time to get it. It looks like it plays tighter than Omega Boost (don't say no)!

If someone can help me I've been looking for this game for years. I actually don't remember much about it at all, but my friend rented it and when we were kids. I guess it was like a creepy demon Hunter sort of game.it was very dark with monsters like silent Hill, but it wasn't silent Hill.
The main part I remember is when you walk into a dining room and a monster falls from the ceiling by the large dining room table.. I've always wanted to know what that game was, but I was never allowed to play because my parents wouldn't let me play mature games at that time

Check Nightmare Creatures, Nightmare Creatures II, Shadow Man, Evil Dead: Hail to the King, Alone in the Dark: One Eyed Jack's Revenge or Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare.

The sadness that this brings up.....it's was originally a 3rd person game but was changed midway into development (long after previews, articles and footage had come out ).

I really can't be too sure if my memory of the game is off, but nightmare creatures 2 looks very similar. There was even a scene from that video that showed a monster stepping off of a table. Thank you for all these suggestions. It's a shame I was never able to play many of these. That evil Dead game looked so badass

The PSIO is fantastic. I have not encountered a single game myself that did not work perfectly.
The UI is pretty basic but does its job well.
A small handful of titles appears to not work yet, but they are working on it and there are regular firmware updates.
I don't have any of those games that are not yet perfectly supported. But have a look at their forums
to see how development is going on:
Cybdyn Systems - Information

I would absolutely recommend it. You will not regret it.

Does Gamera 2000 have a save function or is it a do the whole game or nothing deal? Save state doesn't work in RetroArch/BeetleHW and while there's a load game thing in the menu I can't find a save when playing, you'd think it'd let you save inbetween levels. Oh well, I'll play when I can finish it.

I was about to mention it. Dope soundtrack.
Speaking of soundtracks, Koudelka is worth checking out too, the music is beautiful and it’s the spiritual precursor to the Shadow Hearts series.

Sounds like Alone in The Dark: The New Nightmare.

Rescue shot, who ended up being infamous because of the pokemon ps1 fake game lol
I loved it, tons of humour and fun
Digimon World 2, still the best DW nowadays
The mummy, sort of Syphon filter meets tomb raider

Not a bad game. Looks better than it played. But for pure smooth 60 fps gameplay in a fighting games, DW wasn't bad.
Compared to Tekken and SF, I think I remember this game as shallow in number of moves. And the hit detection was wonky. Music can be anything from awesome to cringy.
But can't deny the slick visuals for the time.

I love this game, it's Final Fantasy Tactics with mechas + fantasy anime from 80s and 90s.
Evil Zone
I played so much, it's such fun fighting game with a varied cast of fighters inspired in animes/ tokusatsu.
Destrega
I also enjoyed this game a lot, really different at the time and fun.

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
That looks quite good for a PS1 game..

Spider: The Video Game (1996) - MobyGames
During a break-in at a lab, a scientist accidentally has his mind transfered into a cybernetic spider. He must move through various environments to locate the intruders who have stolen his research and his body. The player can move forward and back as...

I really enjoyed playing Spider even though I'm not a "fan" of spiders irl and I usually dislike them in games like Skyrim. Definitely a different game from most of the other PS1 platformers.

Back when textured 3-D environments were still a feature worth pointing out on the back of the box of your game.Black Ops Entertainment's (Treasures of the Deep guys) Agile Warrior: F-111X. Not a great flight combat sim but it features 2-players cooperative play, one player being the gunner and other the pilot (ala Star Fox Zero).

Just ordered another PS1 from ebay and a PSIO from the cybdyn guys.
With PS1 and PSIO you can never have too many of them.
Anyone that is into playing PS1 on genuine HW should take a good look at the PSIO.
It is an amazing piece of kit.
(Still waiting for some Japaneese games that I ordered. Covid has messed up my international PS1 game purchases big time.)
