Capcom Generation 4 (Commando+Mercs+Gun.Smoke) on PS2?

[BIL]

Could anyone tell me if Capcom Generation 4 is a problematic title for the PS2 (ala Gradius Deluxe Pack / Toaplan Shooting)? Thinking of picking it up for Gun.Smoke, seems like a nice package, but unfortunately I lack any PS1 at the moment.

Any red flags about the ports themselves much appreciated too (I've been reading up on them, haven't found any)!

Hmm... not sure what pack you're looking at but...

There's a PS2 pack which has Gun.Smoke, Mercs, and Commando [and SFII, and Final Fight, and 1942, and Vulgus, and Son Son, and the Ghosts 'n Goblins series], and the emulation is decent. There isn't an option to disable filtering AFAIK though.

Oh yeah, I have the PS2 collection with these games. It lacks Tate, though. Really kills Gunsmoke for me. Apparently the PS1 version has Tate.

Here's the one I mean (on the left).

Ahh.

Also, after some searching, I've found no problems. However, I've been searching for less time than you have, but...

I can try my Capcom Generations PAL (4 cd boxset) with my PS2 PAL, if you want. Although that may be no indication of how Capcom Generation 4 JPN will play on a JPN PS2.

However, keep in mind that Toaplan pack and Gradius pack were earlier releases. I'm pretty sure the Capcom pack should do fine. (it has even been reissued much longer after PSone departure iirc).

Thanks for the offer of help, Turrican! Good point about CG4 being a later release, too.

No need to go to any trouble, though. Considering the above, and lack of advisories against CG4 on PS2, I'll probably just pick it up. Worst-case scenario is waiting a bit for a PS1. I need to get one for Gradius Gaiden's seventh stage, at some point.
