To confirm.

Does everyone mentioning that they aren't receiving the free upgrade of MediEvil have a PS Plus premium subscription?

I don't have the Premium, just the Essential but Medievil does appear as 9.99€ where it should be free as I bought it on my PS3 years ago.
I opened a case with the support

Yup, bought it on PS3 and have premium currently. £7.99 in store and don't have a PS4 to add it to my account that way like some people have said. Don't wanna deal with Sony support lol tried that in the past and couldn't even get through to anyone. Back in PS3 days I bought Sly Raccoon trilogy and didn't get Sly 1 because I had had it free with Plus but when my sub ran out it said I didn't own the game.

Myself yes and I'm also having the same issue as the others above in the ps eu Greek region

 

edit: I contacted the greek ps support, they told me to restore licences but it didn't work

 

I contacted the support again yesterday and the problem is fixed for me, I can download Medievil (PS4 & PS5) for free. I haven't received a reply from them though.

No luck for me, no answer yet from support case I opened and the title is still 9.99€ on the store

Fixed for me now. Didn't contact support but thanks if anyone else managed to get it sorted on my behalf

English version upgrade is definitely fixed - thanks. 😀

Do you definitely own it outright, and didn't get it via PS3 era PS+ when it was given away as one of the monthly games around ~2010? The old PS+ version isn't eligible for the upgrade (unsure if that is intentional or not, but I suspect it most likely is).

I don't know when this changed, but when this just launched, if I pressed the options button to get the "emulator" menu, it would provide a rewind point for that exact moment. So if I would save, it would save that exact moment. Nowadays, that's no longer the case. It creates rewind points every 10 (?) seconds and will not create a rewind point for that exact moment. So when you save, it saves the last rewind point. Does it make sense what I am trying to say?

 

Is it possible to revert this to the original?

This is still the same. So saving will revert back to the last rewind point, not at the actual point where you are in the game.

I'm playing the PS5 games and it's both Pal and NTSC.

I think I got it from PS+ yes; maybe that's why ... But I'm pretty sure other retro PS+ games were available for free on PS4/5 for their new releases

You're right, some PS+ games can be upgraded. I've checked a couple and Resident Evil DC and Jet Rider were both PS3 era PS+ games and both are listed in such a way that you can claim the PS4/PS5 upgrade for free (European regions only, before anyone gets excited about a Resident Evil upgrade...). Others like Cool Boarders and MediEvil can't be upgraded unless you own them outright.

 

I do think they are likely mistakes though, because the result of the upgrade on those two games means you now permanently own the PS4/PS5 versions of those games and they aren't tied to your continued PS+ subscription like the PS3 version is. Generally, when they are intentionally allowing PS+ games to be upgraded for free they do the upgrade in such a way that it's still linked to the PS+ subscription, so these not being like that makes me think they were a mistake or oversight.

I see what you mean.

 

Originally whenever you opened the emulator menu it would create a rewind point at the precise moment that the menu was opened. You could quickly open and close the menu, and you would see the number of rewind points increase each time you did it. If you created a quick save it would be at that precise point.

 

Now it no longer creates a rewind point when you open the menu; it only creates one on a set schedule every ~5 seconds, so as you say if you create a quick save it's actually saving the most recent rewind point and no longer saves the exact moment you opened the menu.

 

@jefXfreeThis issue seems to have been introduced around July 2023, when Twisted Metal was released. Every game released (or patched) since then has the issue. The change in behaviour was perhaps introduced when they increased the number of quick save slots in the emulator from 6 to 20. Could you pass that back to the team to look at please?

@jefXfree Since the classics release of twisted metal 1 and 2 last year, it has broken the ps3 originals and they can no longer be downloaded. They've also disappeared off of download history

Ape Escape was recently patched again to bring it up to date with all the latest emulator goodies, but there is still an outstanding issue with how analog inputs work. I can't recall it was previously reported, so I've made a little video to demonstrate it.

 

Basically the issue is that instead of proper 360° of motion, it seems to read the analog input as if it is based on 8 directions of input. I've tested with a few emulators and they all have the same smooth input that DuckStation has in this video; I don't have my original PS1 to hand to test on that but I'm reasonably certain that too had smooth input rather than the stepped input that the PS4/PS5 emulator currently has.

 

 

If you could pass that on too please @jefXfree😊

I don't know if this has already been covered here but Toy Story 3 (PSP) in French PS Store is only available in English or Spanish.

I assume that there is multiple PAL version of the game because mine on PSP is in French, German, Italian and Dutch :

Is it possible to let us switch between the various PAL version to get access to our native language instead of only English and Spanish?
