    - There is no decent PS2 emulator.

    It's getting very close.

    2.6 fps

    I know that technically, pcsx2 is running more and more games, but speed is still the main issue, as it makes actual playing near impossible.

    And then there is Death

    That's faster than what I get for looking at DX9 water in HL2.

    Is there a rom for Xenogears available anywhere? Until today I had no idea there were emulators for anything besides snes games.

    You don't get ROMs, you get ISOs, which are generally 700mb a disk.

    There is a software for the PS2 that works with all PS2's that can play copied games. It is called Swap Magic. I Have it and it works like a charm.

    I forgot where this thread was :/ So would I be able to buy one of these ISO's or copied games that would work with PAL? Keeping in mind Xenogears was never released in PAL format.

    ok, If you need me to go into more detail just let me know. First of all you must have a DVD burner that supports simulation mode. Then you put the game and the blank dvd, then you select copy cd. After you have done that you must select PS2 in the down arrow on the bottom of the screen. After that just hit the burn button. I tried the burn on my PS2 and my cousins and it worked. To test it further i'm going to try it on some friends PS2's. The only catch is having a simulation compatible DVD burner.

    A "simulation compatible" burner you say? Yes, I'm interested in you going into more detail.

    And then there is Death

    Pretty much any burner is capable of simulating burning sessions, so don't worry about that. I haven't heard of a single burner that isn't capable of simulating that.

    As for the trick itself, I have serious doubts that it'll work. On a modded PS2, that method would almost 100% guarantee that the game will play (or even with SwapMagic), but on a standard, and especially the most recent PS2? Doubt it. =P

    Yeah, I tried it according to everything you've said so far, and it didn't work, so I think you're mistaken somewhere down the line.

    Plus if this were true everyone would of heard about it by now...I mean being able to play burned copies without a modded console? That would be an insane breakthrough.

    Well now your getting me confused because mine played them just fine but I didn't put a mod chip in my PS2. SO NOW I WANT TO KNOW WHY MINE IS WORKING!!!!! I guess i'm gonna have to take my PS2 apart and find out whats inside. That just doesn't make sense.
