Comments:

* To play in China edition of Ape Escape 2 needed:
1) PCSX2 development build 1.7.0 151 or newer.
2) Dump of BIOS (with all .BIN, .ROM1 and ROM2 files, not only .BIN like for any another console) of one and only Chinese revision of PlayStation 2 - SCPH-50009.
3) Start game only through fast ISO boot.

* Details:
1) The game will work only on the development version of the emulator, which has support of the Chinese BIOS.
2) And the Chinese BIOS will not start even on this version of the emulator, if, in addition to the .BIN file, there are no .ROM1 and .ROM2 files available.
3) Also, the game will work only and only through the Chinese BIOS.
4) And also the game will start only through fast ISO boot. Through a full ISO boot, only an error message will be displayed.

* Looks like game works nice in software mode. In hardware mode will be noticeable textures bug.

Bugs:

* Flickering and/or incorrectly applied of some textures in hardware mode. Noticeable, but not critical.
