Will the PSN release of Xenogears have any emulation problems?

I've heard rumors that the original game had disc problems or so, something to that effect? I've actually been waiting for this release for a while now, as well as many others, but I don't want to drop down the 10 bucks until I can bes sure it runs smoothly.

Not heard of any problems *except usual ps1 ps3 display problems*

I'm sure it will be fine, though i'm not 100%. I'll be buying it to play on my PSP regardless.

I've never played the game, so I couldn't say. Good to hear that the issue may not be an issue at all.

It should work perfectly fine.

The only known major issue is the game freezing when Deus does that half HP attack thingy. I played it on the PS3 without any issue at all.

Please enlighten me, what is this "usual ps1 to ps3 display problem? :roll:

I'm assuming Baker is talking about the way the PS3 displays PS1 games horrendously on HDTV's. It's not bad if you put a lot of distance between you and the TV, but at normal viewing distance, some games can be damn ugly. To be fair, considering how old PS1 games are, it's better than nothing.

It's technically because the PS3 is just displaying more detail. The smoothing function on the PS3 is smarter than the PS2 function, but it can look a little off. The best way is to try to emulate what happens with the PS2 when you upscale, which means switching to 4:3 mode on the TV.

I never had any issues with this game while playing it. Only old game I've had issues with in my software backwards compatible PS3 was Xenosaga, it got stuck like 30 hours into the game and couldn't get past that part so I couldn't finish it :(kuraimen

That's terrible. Did you get rid of your PS2? From what I understand, PS3 isn't BC with the 2nd title anyways (cutscenes get garbled).

I haven't played too many PS1 games on my PS3, so I forget some of the options. I always display in 4:3 though, otherwise it just looks awful (for the most part). Playing FFIX on my PSP whilst stretched just looks off.

I'm talking about going into the resolution options of your PS3 and switching from HD to SD resolution.

If there are any ACTUAL emulation problems like freezes and glitches rest assured theyll be patched soon. Other than that theres just display issues from what I hear. Just screw around with configurations.

Really, they can do pathces with PS1 games as well? Well at least no one's mentioned any serious issues or glitches so far...

They do game specific patches.
