/vr/ - Retro Games

Great port of a great arcade game.

Probably won't get the answer I'm looking for but I am hoping to get some input from anyone who went through this issue. Bought a copy of Initial D Special Stage for my modded PS2 Slim, but reading that alone you can already guess what my problem is, unfortunately I didn't until I booted up the game. It kept constantly crashing 5 seconds into loading up one of the game modes and I thought I got sold a busted game. To my dismay I only just realized this is one of the various games not compatible with the slim models, or at least specifically my model, the 75000 series. I didn't spend much on it but I'm still bummed, aside from just emulating is there a way to make this game compatible with my Slim model through some other methods or am I just cucked out of a good game because I got the PS2 slim?

Drifting is too automated in this game, R4 feels just right.

IDAS is brilliant, for home ports though I have to pick the PS2 version, the single player additions give it a bit more longevity and the soundtrack is way better

GT doesn't have very many touge levels though. That's why i emulate special stage and play it with my wheel.

In special stage story mode is just a repeat of the manga/anime which you shouldn't need translations for since you already know what happens.
