My main complain was just the constant whirring of the UMD itself.

My main complain was just the constant whirring of the UMD itself. Ehh. I never found it to be all that loud. And... weirdly, I kinda like the noise. It reminds me of the good old days, playing classic games on PC from floppy disk. It's oddly nostalgic. -Tom

I hope they will localize Vantage Master Portable next.

Considering I've been been playing PC and digital games on that for the past few months... But, this is pretty cool, and I'll have to look into it. As 20% of the Vita userbase apparently. And cool that you finally got to do a Falcom game from scratch.

I kinda just hated putting the discs into the drive itself. I always put them in the wrong way at first and they felt like they would just break. I prefer ripping my UMDs and playing them off the memory stick.

Not everyone's interested in cracking their systems. Even if it is stupid easy by now.

The PSP is pretty quiet as far as I'm concerned, or at least the 2000 model that I have is, but the Dreamcast and PS2 are loud as heck and have always bugged me.

I remember in Skies of Arcadia you could always tell when a random battle was imminent, because the drive would start going crazy.

I have an original model PS2, the same one I've always had, and it still works... but it has become the noisiest goddamn thing. Especially with the purple CD media PS2 games, which make the room sound as though it has been temporarily recommissioned as an airport runway. It still runs everything fine with no problems, and it doesn't damage the discs, but it also sounds like it's launching a space shuttle. The Dreamcast definitely isn't a quiet machine either.

I always thought that is where they got the "It's Thinking" slogan from.

I kinda remember a few games doing this back in the PS1-PS2 era, although I'm drawing a blank at the moment on specifics. Legend of Dragoon would too. That game had something funny about how it loaded battles. When my PS1 was going to shit I had to open the tray and close it during battles or it would hang at the results screen, because it stopped spinning. By the end I just left it open until the results screen. Why? Because that was like my only game for a couple of years. It was a shit time for the family, and I let a buddy borrow the rest of my PS1 games and his mother pawned them. There is a reason that game has stuck with me.... I think SoA is the most prominent though. It took me by surprise the first time playing it on Dreamcast. You could just hear hummmmmmm-WHHHHIIIIIRRRRR

I may be misremembering, but it seems like if you hit the menu button fast enough, you could preempt the battle.

I know that if you open the lid you can preempt it. So I've heard. I can't get it fast enough actually.
