Decided to test PCSX2 to see if it would run on my kinda-crappy computer since i heard PCSX2 has improved from what it used to be, and to my surprise it does (as long as I use OpenGL Software Emulation), and I can even record footage without it lagging.
I've only been testing the DDR games, starting with DDRMAX. FInally excited about playing the Japanese versions since they are complete opposites of the US versions (i.e. better, since they are straight-up ports rather than "catch-ups" minus Festival and Str!ke). Only thing that sucks is unlocking the hidden songs, because even on Japan DDRMAX it's 200 plays to unlock CANDY*. At least I don't have to do 500 for one fucking exclusive like i have to with the US version.
