PS3 EE+GS powered vs PS3 software emulator powered one

[Mobius1aic]

Actually it's the only PS2 emulator out there

I remember seeing one or two others out there that had pretty piss poor reviews, and that was a year and a half ago at least.

I keep hearing that the 80 GB model having emulated EE, consequentially exhibiting reduced backwards compatibility compared to the 60 GB model that contains full hardware support. Has there been a topic to document which games are affected or won't play in the 80 GB model?...or is it more like nearly all games can run, but there is nearly always some sign of funky graphics glitches?

Sony does that for you: The US compatibility search and the Europe compatibility list.

The former provides more detail while the latter might be better for a quick glance.

Yes, to be honest I personally know several ppl from PCSX2 team and I also know how hard has been achieving what they already achieved, without any bit of official info about PS2 hardware. In other words Blade47167, a little more respect for them, they do deserve it.

I wouldn't say without any official info, a good chunck of it was made relatively easy to get from the Linux kit... Also building the emulator isn't so much hard as it is getting say 90%+ compatibility (and by compatibility titles running flawlessly).
