well the main focus im going for is playability. i can deal with no sound, i just want to able to see where im going and can play through the entire game w/o crashes or terrible f@%#ed up graphics. I'm sorry, i didnt realize before all the previous topics about this game, i see now how difficult many people have with this. but for anyone who does have it working, can you please tell me what you are using to make the game playable? sorry to be naggy, as i cant play this on a psx emulator(wont work for me epsxe) and would rather not DL the game either. once again thanks all.
