Gradius Gaiden on PS2 vs PS2 slimline

Post by Strider77 »

I know about the issues with gradius gaiden on a fat PS2 but what about a slimline? Is it the same or different. Also any other compatibilty issues with a slimline PS2 I should know about?
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

I would think that there wouldnt be any differences. The slimline PS2 should emulate the PS1 games just like the fat PS2's. I wonder if the PS3 emulates Gradius Gaiden the same as PS2?

i would believe the ps2 versions would play the ps1 games the same, however i'd be more curious to see how the ps3 handles ps1 games. emotion engine chip vs software emulated emotion engine..

that would tend to be a bit more tricky (software emu)
