Most true-to-arcade conversion for PS2?

Post by jpolz »

I've recetnly started importing games from Japan...I have a few of the heavy hitters so far (DDP:DOJ, Ibara, Psyvariar 2). Now i understand the whole "arcade feel" relies alot on your TV/Monitor setup, but it ain't gonna make a lick of difference if the port wasn't done properly.


So which games have the most "arcade perfect" port?

Actually it depends on what setup you are using at home. If you are using a normal TV via non-RGB in, nearly all the recent ports are nearly "arcade perfect".

If you are using a RGB monitor, only very feels game actuall give non-interlance Low Res video out, i.e. DDP DOJ & ESPgaluda.

IMO, on these are the best port:

DDP DOJ (non-interlance Low Res)
ESPgaluda (non-interlance Low Res)
SnS 2 (Progressive Scan)
Trizeal (Progressive Scan)

But you need the correct setup to enjoy these features. :o

Simple:

(PS2) ESPGaluda
(PS2) DDP DOJ
(DC) every naomi port

the end.

Just curious, but what are all the Naomi ports you speak of?
The world would be a better place if there were less shooters and more dot-eaters.

Sorry, just realized the topic says for PS2 (only I assume). If so, then just those two I mentioned.

Perfect Naomi shmup ports on DC:
Ikargua
Psyvariar 2
Border Down
Zero Gunner 2
Shikigami No Shiro 2
Trizeal
Under Defeat
Radilgy/Rajirugi

Gunspike (border line shmup)
Chaos Field (not really "perfect" port since highscore doesn't save, and possibly more slowdown than naomi version)

There are more perfect naomi ports on DC that are not shmups, like MVC2, CVS2, Power Stone, Project Justice, Sega Teris, Cosmic Smash, and so on...
