Hi everyone!
First I would like to thank the devs for creating an emulator like this, as far as I've seen it does a tremendous job emulating the PS2 and plays many games pretty well.
I'm not new in the emulation scene, have done it since -99 with Nesticle beeing my first experience but I'm actually kinda new to the PS2/PCSX2 scene.
The thing is I love Castlevania more then anything when it comes to game series, there's just something about it's atmosphere that makes my skin crawl and Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness are pure gold for a Castlevania freak as I am, actually my favourite is Akumajou Dracula X Nocturne in the Moonlight for Sega Saturn but that's another story.
My PS2 is rather old and it barely runs anything these days, still it looks pretty good, have taken care of it nicely. Well I live in Sweden and repair shops are pretty rare were I live and the ones I have called don't do PS2's anymore. I have recently dumped the bios from it since downloading one is against the law. The only games I have bought and own for it is Lament of Innocence, Curse of Darkness, Resident Evil 4 and Star Wars Force Unleashed.
There is hope however, I'm getting a new rig in january and hopefully I can play my Castlevania games again.
I have checked the compatibility list for Lament and Curse and they are playable, but right now I can't find out for my self. Though I have seen some videos on Youtube showing some gameplay from them but not much.
What I would like to know if there is someone here that has played and finished a US/NTSC copy of Lament of Innocence and a PAL/EU copy of Curse of Darkness on PCSX2. What specs do you have? Which FPS? What version of PCSX2? Or was it the latest Public Beta with plugins? How well did they perform on your machines?
My rig will have the following specs:
An MSI motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.8GHz processor
EVGA nVidia GeForce 9800GT 512MB
4GB DDR2 800MHz
7.1 Surround (integrated)
How well will these games perform on a machine like this?
Thanks for reading and thanks in advance!
