So PS2 emulation is up to KF4? That's interesting. I just don't enjoy playing most games via emu, especially PSOne generation and later. The emulation is also never totally accurate, though I've been advised to give this (https://psxemulator.gazaxian.com/) a shot. I think it has something to do with the psychology of a monitor versus a TV, but to be honest I'm really not sure what the distinction is... other than perhaps when you spend all day working in front of a monitor you develop a lot of negative psychological associations, or maybe monitor is for work, tv is for play, I dunno... I do emulate a lot of stuff, and played DD primarily on a monitor, but it never feels like a completely carefree satisfaction in that kind of setting.
For the older 16bit games and Gameboy/DS games I'm more accustomed to playing on an emulator, and enjoy it more I think. I have no clue why. It has something to do with 2D vs 3D games I think. Faux 3D games (like say Phantasy Star) I don't like playing on a monitor. I think with a TV I get a more immersive effect, where as with a monitor I'm usually hunched over if I want to feel like I'm staring directly into it.
My hour is up, thanks for listing.
PS: As for emulating KF2. I wish someone would back me up on this. I'm pretty sure that game had no concept of the internal clock / just relied upon the performance of the PSOne to be its clock... I don't know how many PSOne games were this way if so, but it runs way tooo fast on a PS3, sometimes the animations happen in like a snap, and appear clearly not as they were intended. Unfortunately there is no setting to slow down the PS3. For a game criticized as being slow in it's day, it's probably the most break neck game I've ever played. Wolfenstein3D released in the US store (a port of PC version I believe) does not have this problem.
