i assume that there is a difference between loading times of ps2 and ps3. I wonder about how much time could be save. I currently have a ps2 and dunno if switch to ps3 would be worth it!
The ps3 even without ssd has faster loadings than a 90k model PS2. I would recommend switching to either PS3 as p3 fes only costs 10 bucks there or you can do also the runs on emulator
funny cuz i already play on emulator but thought playing on ps2 hardware would be faster. guess i was wrong. and if i decided to go ps3 i assume that i would play a digital copy. thanks.
Ps2 is the slowest especially when it comes to random encounters, Emulator is way faster and for most loads PS3 is a little faster than pcsx2, but slower for saving. No one has tested the difference between hard drive and SSD for this game as far as I know but it's a bit faster for DDS.
