I feel quite the bond with you roto. Not only did I just recently get a working psx emu but i've gone and dug myself a hole in which to play sweet ps1 rpgs. I have a lot of ps1 games already, but try finding the lunar games or grandia anywhere for a cheap buck.

Anyway to make a point, I have both Xenogears and Vagrant Story underneath my bed collecting dust. I've beaten neither game because somewhere along the lines they lost me...hard. But the good thing is, I want to play gears again and get into it. It had a solid cast and a grand scale, you just needed a whole lotta time and patience, which I didn't have at the time. Vagrant Story got put into storage cause of FFXII, so yeah it was not a good day for Vagrant.

Currently I'm playing FF8 on a epsxe emu which for the most part runs aight, but if have a better one, hit me up, I'd love to try it.
