Espgaluda and PCSX2

I used the search and nothing came up. I don't have a Japanese Ps2 and I am thinking about importing Espgaluda. Does Espgaluda work on the Pcsx2 emulator?

It runs but there's some bug that causes it to run at like 5 FPS. PS2 emulation still sucks .. best bet is that Japanese PS2.

Just mod your PS2 with a hard-drive and use a freeloader disc to install and run Espgaluda. No soldering or special chips required.

No need to mod, really. I backup all my Japanese games, ESR patch 'em and boot off the MC. It's a bit of work initially, but you can do it w/out a HDD and it works great once you're set. It's legal and has nothing to do w/ piracy.

Word. I do the same. (Backups are legal in the US for the vast majority of PS2 games, as they don't use any sort of encryption.)

Since you're interested in ESPGaluda specifically, I can tell you that yeah, it works with this method.

Look up Free MC Boot.

Yeah, but if you're gonna go through all the trouble of ripping your games, I'd just dump them onto a hard drive. If you make copies, that's two sets of disks you have to worry about. If you just put them on the hard drive, everything is a lot simpler.

Plus it's a lot more portable - You can bring every game when you go somewhere without having to bring a bunch of bulky disks.

And close to no loading at all between stages when reading from the HDD.
