Quote:Just like how there are a handful of GB and GBC games that don't work with the GBA, there are a handful of PS1 games that don't work with the PS2. I myself only have ONE of these games. It WORKS, but this game (Legend of Legaia) has a few visual effects that the PS2 can't emulate fast enough, so the battles can drag on when doing certain things becase of that. Hence, I keep the PS1 just for that.
As I've said before, Bionic Commando: Elite Forces works... if you avoid the overhead missions. They cannot be finished and crash the game. That's quite annoying, given how you enter them on the trucks on the overworld which are tough to avoid at times, and how those missions are your only source of extra lives... not good. Plus you can't get the rank-up suits/hidden missions because there are unavoidable topdown missions in front of those. Not good. I've heard some people can't run it correctly on GBCs either, I think, but mine worked fine on one... obviously it shipped with a irritating bug. Not good when it's one of your favorite GBC games.
Which was fine until three weeks ago when my GBC's screen broke. Now it's got this big permanant discoloration on the screen and displays nothing. The sound still works fine, though... you can hear the game playing. :)
