Are you refering to the black screen after you finish the game? Also, how does VF-X2 play on PSXeven compared to ePSXe? Is there a noticable difference in anything (graphics, sound, etc.)? No. In DYRL(not VFX2), when you die, the continue screen automatically hit the button before hte countdown even appeared. I wanted to hear the music. This was fixed in the latest version, but I'd already run through the game at that point. And the boss in the Kakizaki dies level just doesn't come out in ePSXe, and has to be coaxed out in PSXeven. As I said already. VFX2 looks and sounds exactly the same on any emulator that uses plugins. Remember, the final rendering is based on the plugin, not the emulator. I saw no major glitches in PSXeven, though I quit playing after a while because I wans't having much fun.

That's what missiles are for. 'Sides, the laser has some good cutting power.

I haven't used the latest version much, but PSXeven was far superior to ePSXe one version ago. One of PSXeven's features was the ability to play DYRL almost right. There's A glitch, but it can be gotten around. Specifically, the level where Kakizaki dies. The last boss refuses to show up. In PSXeven, you can knock some sense into the game by dropping a bomb. ePSXe just got stuck. Latest ePSXe fixed the continue screen, which didn't work in the previous version. Dunno about the boss thing, dun really care to play through to that point to test. As near as I can tell, ePSXe is suffering from the NESticle effect. It was one of the first good emulators, so people continue to recommend it despite the fact that it hasn't kept up. ... Though ePSXe isn't NEAR as far behind as NESticle, and is still being actively developed on top of that.

Personally, I'm still annoyed by the naming scheme. They recycle names that don't fit at all, then make new names up when they have a name that SHOULD be recycled. It makes my head hurt. ... And they refuse to make a new Omega Supreme. ... And Megatron is a gun, not a tank! SCREW POLITICAL CORRECTNESS! ... I think that's it.

Damn, guess I was wrong...

Random contemplation... Doesn't Ivy look more like she belongs in Dead or Alive than Soul Calibur? At least with her default costume...

I hope it IS a 1/100. ... a 1/100 SDF-1, that is.

I predict the first flame in 3 more posts...

HG owns the US distribution rights. This is not debated. Whether they actually hold a copyright is up for debate, but they do have some rights to the original Macross, and Animeigo DID have to license it from them.

I pronounce it "hopeless nerd".

What about the often forgot about D-type head? I think it's sexy. You're right... D = about the same level as S, only since it 's only seen once it's easy to forget.

PS2 is the only machine on the market with a 128-bit CPU. Not that it matters. It's emulated anyways. You could do it with an 8-bit processor(though it'd be VERY slow). But the PS2 is a pain in the butt to emulate. The hardware's powerful and complex(as opposed to merely powerful like hte Dc and GameCube, which both use 64-bit processors).

And the -A isn't? You MUST be smokin' the good stuff, man. 1J's are probably the most handsome head out of the four general types. 1A looks like a damn camera. Precisely. The A is hideous. The S is not bad. The J is damn sexy.

Mild logic problem... If the first digit is a 0, it is a 1A OR a 1S. If the second digit is a 0 it is a 1J OR a 1S. Only analysis of both the first and second digits under your system can yield conclusive ID without a view of the head.

Just all the new stuff. All the old stuff with good ol'plutonium made it. Then there was the Mars Polar Lander which crashed because NASA mixed up metric with standard. When are you guys going to switch to metric??? You think the Polar Lander was first? http://www.bio.aps.anl.gov/~dgore/fun/mars...sscorecard.html Current score is Mars 20, Earth 16. Sure the Russians really ran the score up,. but we had our share of goofs. Heck, Japan even got in on the action with Nozomi.

The killer is really CPU power, not RAM. The game is either read straight out of the CD/DVD drive, just like a real console(and older PC games) or off the hard drive. Not really enough RAM in PCs for loading hte whole disk image into RAM, even with CDs. Or a good reason, given the slow access speed of the disks. And PS2 pads use a proprietary serial format. Though soem companies DO sell USB adapters...

And the -A isn't?

*jaw drops* *clicks link* ... Errr... Ummm... I'm just in it for the Flash games. Yeah...

The PS2 has 32 megabytes of RAM in it. That's your lower limit. In practice, you'll have to add a few meg for the emulator code and BIOS ROM image(which I assume is loaded into RAM at all times for similarly quick access to what you'd see with a real ROM in a real system). Say 40-42 meg plus the overhead from other tasks(like your OS). This is only insane relative to other console emulators. As far as PC games go, it's positively tame. Edit: accidentally used Dreamcast RAM totals a minute ago...

About 1200 of them are the voices in my head.

I'm sorry, I thought by good you meant "can actually play games". Or even "runs at a half-decent speed on my computer". PS2 emulation is so early on that nothing works right. Even PS1 emulation still has a long way to go to what I'd consider good.

Don't lie. You REALLY want the MPCs. Admit it.

Why is Prime in charge anyways? I demand a change of regime! One episode, Omega Supreme sets his foot down in the wrong place... who'd possibly disagree?

If I just keep quiet and let hte Clue people take the heat, I can get away clean. It's the perfect crime! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... Errrr, you didn't hear that. Nothing to see here... Why is everyone staring? I'LL KILL YOU TOO IF YOU DON'T LOOK AWAY AND IGNORE ME!

Could be worse. They could milk every visual style that appeared, forcing them to create "YF-1R" toys.... Or they could make Orguss Valkyrie toys.
