FreakystreakEFC Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hi, I currently have a collection of Playstation One title that I would like to inport into Launchbox. The thing is, some of these title have different version numbers and can be bigger and smaller in file size. What I want to know is which one to use? I'm kinda running out of HDD space so ideally I would like to take the smaller sized version but I don't know if that's the best method. Any help would be great guys.... oh and gals of course...

Guest Kirsten Marie Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hi there, Freakystreak! Can you give us some examples of the file names of the different versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroArcade Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Generally with one's like that the newer version is the better one. Since there was no online updating at that time, if bugs or whatever were found after a game was released the company would generally fix them if need be and it would then become the new version sold in the store(even though it wouldn't mention anything like that). Some people are purists and some groups strive to archive every game and every version available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styphelus Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 The latest number is the best. They couldn't patch games like they do today so if they found some problem they would patch it and update the game for the the next manufacturing run.
