Guitar Hero 2. do you have the actualy guitar controller? me im just using my PS 2 controller. and still cant beat the hard level :beaten: :hehe:

Got the guitar. :D The game isn't available on the 360 without the guitar. At least, I didn't see it. It's pretty cool and even has a motion sensor in it. It's $20 or $30 more for the guitar pack, than a regular game. The game killed my 360's DVD drive tho. They gave me another console for free, but still... I haven't tried hard yet. I'll finish C&C, just in case GH2 kill my 360 again. :sweat:

thats why theres Emulator. hehe :sweat:

no i havent played Stalker yet. but Darkstalker i have. :P

slashersam016 Do you have PS2 emulator?? cause on of my friend has it but the frame doesn't match with the sound and sometimes it just stop moving..

PS2 emu's are still being refined. It's taken a long time for computer hardware to become powerful enough to play PS2 games through an emulator. AFAIK you need a dual core processor, at least 1G ram and a good video card to get a decent frame rate. My home comp is a Celeron 3.06, 512MB ram, and 256MB video card, and I can play Final Fantasy X (which is slow, but playable).

Jaegal_Maut no i havent. but i already tried once. but just like Anime Dad said you need a very powerful machine in order to play PS2 games. or else face the consequences. :sweat:

So its not the problem with the software, well couple of months ago I just bought myself core 2 duo and 1G ram PC but the I'm still using onboard VGA card cause I'm currently sell my old VGA and saving money to buy 8800.. (morelikely about 4-5 months needed to buy that VGA)

Yeah, you would need a 512MB card at least I would say. But I would read up on it first because there's a lot of settings to tweak in that thing (the emu).

Another thing you can do is make an .iso image of the PS2 game, install Daemon Tools and mount the .iso in a virtual drive. I did that and it definitely helps :)

Wii outselling PS3 5-to-1 in Japan
Nintendo's innovative Wii outsold the more expensive Sony PlayStation 3 by 4-to-1 in Japan in April, and last month the gap widened even further, with the Nintendo console now 5-to-1 ahead, reports Bloomberg.
Bloomberg, quoting figures from Enterbrain, publisher of games magazine Famitsu, revealed that 251,794 Wiis had been sold in Japan in May, five times as many units as the PS3. Microsoft's Xbox 360 lagged even further behind, with 11,082 units changing hands last month. Exact figures were not given for PS3 sales, but by implication they are likely to be in the region of 50,000.
The story was much the same in the battle of the handhelds, with the Nintendo DS having sold 620,670 to the PlayStation Portable's 123,673 during May.

Playing Pokemon Ranger on my DS.

My stepdad got me the Ice Blue DS lite when he was on his business trip in Taiwan. I was sooo happy :woot: :woot: :dancing: :dancing:

Yea, i got the a Pokemon Ranger game and a DBZ game. Both in Japanese.


But man......I can't understand most of the dialogue :sweat: :sweat: :beaten: :beaten:

It's not your system/vidcard that doesn't cut it. It's more like the emulator to blame: well it's made to emulate a game and it does run, but that's about it. Those emus have been around for at least 5 years. Games ran choppy back than, games run choppy still today. Best solution is to go out and buy a PS2.

And more ram on vidcard equals better performance is such a myth. It barely gives you better FPS, usually next to nothing. Cept for a few games and only when your resolution is greater than 1600x1200. Might as well get a vidcard with better GPU and 256mb ram, it will always outperform a lowend card with 512mb ram on it.

An 8800 costs $400-500? why not buy a PS2 instead :doh:

how much does a PS2 cost these days...$100? games are dirtcheap, and if you want to go the illegal way you can always chip it or install a HD.
