BLITZ!

I DID IT! :)

Got to play Final Fantasy X on the PS2 Emulator that I've downloaded and researched! It wasn't easy, considering the emulator's settings and configurations, but somehow, the persistent side in me managed to get through with it. The game (also downloaded) runs smoothly, with the correct mix of the emulator's settings. I wouldn't know how it would run on different games, but this will do for now. (Some games have their own emulation settings, so the settings that made my FFX run smoothly might not work for other games).

I missed this part. Look at Wakka's smug look. LOL.

Some of the game's FMV's (from the first few hours of playing). Couldn't believe how the emulator ran the movies smoothly! On the it's settings however, you should turn on a certain option (for the FFX game) that makes the FMV run normally.

Fight scenes run smooth and without delay! Environment has no missing elements and/or pixels too! I've yet to experience a delay, maybe when I encounter numerous enemies or when I encounter a boss.

Lulu about to whip some monster ass with her Black Magic.

Here are some screenies paying attention to the environment. There aren't any spots or missing pixels, and everything is rendered well. At first, this was the difficult part to figure out. Whenever I pass by a scenery as huge as this one, the game slows down.

The cutscenes are rendered well. Sometimes, there would be missing pixels on characters' hair, but I'll let it pass. Game still runs smooth during these scenes.

The PCSX2 emulator is an impressive program that would give you sleepless nights trying to figure out how to make your favorite game run parallel to what the Playstation 2 engine could give. With the 2-3 days of research through forums, youtube, and google, I've made it possible to play one of my favorite titles! It would be selfish of me not to share the settings, but I want you guys to figure it out on your own! Here's to your own sleepless nights! :)

...and now, for some blitzball!

end note: make sure you own the original PS2 title! :)
