So like the title says every time I load up the games, the screen would turn black for minutes without showing anything even after speeding the games up...

So far I ran it using fast boot instead of full

I have tried another game similar, time crisis: crisis zone, which works compared to the other games...Is there possibly some settings that are screwing with the game? All of my other games work except for these two games
In order to help you further with your problem, please make sure the following are all provided.
  • Your hardware specs - CPU, Graphics Card, Memory, Operating System.
  • The version of PCSX2 you are using.
  • Any non default settings you are using.
  • If you are playing them from ISO or DVD.

Thank You.
Go to Config > Emulation Settings, Speedhacks tab, and set EE Cyclerate to -1 (remove the preset on the bottom left if necessary).
FWIW, this issue seems to happen on few old Japan bios versions and FlatOut's suggestion is the only way to fix it.

I recently found the thread where you solved this solution by that method, will use it if I have time
Please update pcsx2

Will it overwrite the previous version or do i have to uninstall it?

Also when isntalling it, should I back up my saves?

You can keep both versions however I wouldn't recommend keeping 1.2.1.
What I do however recommend is keeping 1.4.0 and the latest 1.5.0 version

You should save your progress in your memory card and then backup the memory card files.

I'll backup my memory cards and just update to the latest one

Okay now I see that option but however, my game looks graphically weird and it is very slowed down?

Is there any way to speed it up and ensure that it doesn't look weird
