...... any attempt to emulate this game would probably kill my machine unceremoniously?

It varies between 100% and 50% on my machine... How strong is your computer?

I haven't tried emulating At2 on my computer, but I've tried At1, and the outcome was very uninspiring... It fluctuated between 20-30 fps, dropping as low as 9 fps during periods of intense animation (i.e. the beginning-to-charge-an-energy-ball animation). I think my graphic card is mostly at fault. Since I don't usually play games, I can't justify spending any more than $100 on graphics. I think my computer would do pretty well were it not for that constraint.

Yes, this was on a laptop. It runs 60fps 90%-100% including battles and FMVs.

Newest version of PCSX2 us 0.9.6...I haven't seen any glitches so far.
But its a low-spec game after all, can't say the same for Unlimited Codes...

...where'd you get this laptop? What's the actual model, or did you build it?

I want a proper gaming laptop so bad....

Huh. Mine is only 1.59 GHz Core Duo. (and not overclocked)

There are actually newer releases in Beta Stage. The newest Beta is required for the game not to crash after creating the Tower (you need to save & load from your memory card at least once before you create the Tower). And it's a little more smooth.

Actually, this issue was fixed in Beta 976 of PCSX2 (available in their forums) - released on 14th April btw - http://forums.pcsx2.net/thread-3716.html

Interesting topic ^_^.

I haven't tried AT2 yet, but I did try AT1 recently. And like Deci says... uninspiring:

- Horrible graphics glitches (portraits torn and dots and random black pixels near sprites)
- Game slows down terribly in some town areas (where the background scrolls by itself during events, iirc)
- Animation for harmonics in battle is missing
- Background pictures are misaligned, and wrap horizontally, in many places

Those are the main ones.

At least it sounds like the last one might have been fixed :-)

It'll probably require a super strong computer, like Nagi-sama's.

Perhaps not...
If I uncap the framerate, the game runs a consistent 150% even without speedhacks.
So you really don't need a good computer to emulate AT2...
In fact, all of the 2D sprite-based NipponIchi games are perfectly viable for emulation, as opposed to games with 3D rendering most of which I can only get 40-50fps, even on my gaming machine...
Btw, the most important factor for speed isn't memory or cpu, but your graphics card.
