darkSpyro

Just wondering, but i've been around that forum a long time, and met some peoplez there. So I'm kinda concerned what happened to it? since it seems I can't have access...

Did they close it ? :/

maybe I missed a topic about it..sorry for that.

It's probably just a problem they're having.

I dunno why SR would close down the forums, but then again I haven't really been on there, or even visited for a while.
I have heard that it's gone a little downhill over there.

SpyroForums always had trouble with staying accessible. It's probably just crashed again and will be back in a day or so. Though I wouldn't blame SR for closing it down, given how little interest he's had in it for so many years.

Oh alright then xD Glad they didn't close it.

Does DarkSpyro have more users than Spyro Forums or the other way 'round? I used to go on there, but lost interest pretty quick.

I don't like Spyro Forums much.
Don't they tend to brag whenever darkSpyro is mentioned?

I've never read Spyro forums... I'll just stay here.

^Same

Never heard of, I like the cool people here. won't leave this site.

I sat there for a while, read some topics, and decided that the place was too boring, and a bit too Spyro orientated. I would obviously join a Spyro forum for Spyro, but I also want boards where we could discuss whatever we want. SF doesn't seem to have much of a mindset to focus on that.

Plus, the admin seems like a kid. I know he really isn't one, but the way he acts and talks gives me the vibe that he's new to site management.

I recall SpyroForums having more members than us.

SF has more members, but dS has more active users. Honestly, this place is currently the only Spyro forum or site that could be considered active outside of the big official sites like Skylanders Universe.

It is true, we are on here often, however we still have lives(or do we....) because we've discovered multi tasking. Most of my night is homework anyway, so its not that hard to do this, too.

Music, writing, here, MythBusters, ****in with my PS2 to get it to work, studying for my college cooking course, looking for appealing colleges, and researching scholarships, and Spanish homework.

That's what I'm doing

Holy **** Epicness. My PS2 is broken as well, which sucks because I want to play the original Spyro. I'm doing advanced Biochemistry(9th grade, but that doesn't stop my mom from *****ing about college.

I want to play DotD

But my slim PS2's not workin.

It makes a weird clicking noise, like a computer loading or processing, and the spinner start/stops

^ I think my old PS2 did that.
After it did that, it was completely screwed.
You might need a new one.

Why would you want to go back there? That place was a load of crap.

Hm...I have to say, **** PS2
Get 360. In its heyday, it has Skylanders, Call of Duty, AND Halo.

Although, no PS2 means no:

007 Agent Under Fire
007 NightFire
Wrath of Cortex
Crash Twinsanity
LoS: ANB
LoS: TEN
MDK2 ()
MoH: Frontline
MoH: RS
Spider-Man The Movie Game
Spider-Man 2
SpongeBob SquarePants Movie (Yes I liked it...shut up)
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom (I liked it too...shut up)
Star Wars Battlefront
Star Wars Battlefront II

^Noo, get PS3 and be able to play your PS2 games as well as awesome new ones

PS3 isn't backwards compatible. You can't play any of your PS2 or PS1 games on it and a big chunk of good games aren't on the PSN (or they're glitchy, you have to rebuy them, or Sony will steal your credit card information).

Jeeze, what do you guys do to your systems? I still have a working PS1 and PS2.

^ This. I have a working PS2 and PS1 as well.

Although, SCF7, can't you get a really cheap PS2 in GameStop? I can almost guarantee you can get a cheaper PS2 than a PS3 there.

This explains why I never bought the hunk of junk called a PS3.

Ps2 is 50 bucks I think.....

Once more, monetary issues.

Else I'd have 360, my games, and a good start on SSA toys,

We have a PS3 almost solely for the Batman games and The Last Guardian. And we got it used with none of the fancy bells and whistles attached. Heck, I'm pretty sure we watch more movies with it than anything else. I'll be getting Skylanders most likely for the PS3, but only because the Wii and I don't get along at all.

I'd get it for 360.

I've heard bad things about PS3
Red ring usually strikes people who hardly care for their systems.

My friend baby's his, and he's had it since their first production run.

Besides, 360 has Halo--
The Sonic the Hedgehog of the 21st century

^I know a friend that took great care of his Xbox, and he still got RROD.

And I take great care of my Xbox, and the power cord is pretty much dead, making it near impossible to play it for any more than an hour if I'm lucky.

I recall the newer PS3's being able to play PS1 games.

Your taste in games......

But if you're not using it, can I have it? :D *shot*

This is how PS3 backwards compatablity works...

Wasn't the 1st gen (what was more of a market beta) PS3 backwards compatible?

As I recall, the first gen PS3 was backwards compatible, but they removed that feature along with a ton of others and it really cheesed people off.

No, CAV, you can't have our PS3. It's the only Blu Ray player we've got. Oh, and Stoker would die without access to his Magic: the Gathering game on there. Also, Tomb Raider and Sly 4 are coming out for it eventually and I need it.

^I'll trade you my Blu Ray player.

As the page I posted says, all versions of the PS3 are backwards compatible with PS1 games, but only some are compatible with PS2 games.

CASE CLOSED.

I just checked that list you posted, SB, and the games the PS3 can play backwards compatibility wise is a very small list. Thus, if you really want to play your older games, you'll still need a PS1 and/or PS2, because not many of them can be played on PS3.

Went back and checked the list, and realised it's not fully comprehensive. It's correct about what versions of the PS3 are compatible with PS2 games, but the list of games definitely isn't complete. Toy Story 2 and Disney's Hercules for the PS1 are not on that list, yet I can play both on my PS3, and they are fully functional too.

Didn't SpyroForums and DarkSpyro had some sort of rivalry back then?

Likely, as is the nature of such forums.

SB: I've never been able to get any of my older games to work on our PS3. *shrug* Basically, if you want to play your old games these days, you need your old system or a lot of cash and some prayers to hope that the digital versions released by Sony/Nintendo/whatever are a decent emulation. Or you need an emulator.

The rivalry between SF and dS back in the day wasn't much and was pretty stupid. I don't actually remember any rivalry on this site, but folks on SF sometimes got snippy about dS members.

Emulator is dfinitely my preffered method, for most consoles.

Don't they still kinda do?

And like how all problems are solved, dS members decided to do the same.

^Thissssssssssssss

At least for old.

^ This.
I use emulators for old consoles as well.

I only use emulators for games that aren't available in North America. :S

I've played quite a few PlayStation games on the PS3, they work, but are very out of sync. For example, I press a button to jump and it seems to take two or three seconds for the system to realise I've pressed a button and for it to do that action.

The older versions of the PS3 were backwards compatible, but unfortunately are now rare, because Sony stopped making them that way when they realized that if people cannot play their old games on the system, they will buy more new games, and as the sheep that we are, we follow their lead.

I haven't, I don't have that many PS3 games, I've got seven, and I'd say there 'half-decent'. The Saboteur which is one that I have is the best I've played so far.

Spyro Forum just has it's regulars, The RP section was great through but they really did not tolerate god-modding sue characters at all

Are you implying that not tolerating them is a bad thing?

To be fair sure the kids were annoying but the amount of tolerance elitist rpers had was so low that some kid with low post count would get flamed

Lol well I guess we should all stick here then x3 lol i miss my gems and post count though ;3
Im a noob here x'D

I did remember trying to join SF I think sometime last year or earlier this year, but I never got my account activated. However, I'm glad because I keep hearing how harsh the rules are over there and the admin being irresponsible. Not to mention the place being inactive all the time. I'll stick around here, too, because I got friends and it's more active.

The site is still down. Maybe it really has been closed?
