PS2 Namco Museum: 50th Anniversary (USA) PS2 ISO

[CSmith327]

Game Description:​

Namco Museum: 50th Anniversary is a Action/Arcade/Compilation/Racing/Shoot 'Em Up/Shooter video game published by Namco and developed by Digital Eclipse released on August 30th, 2005 for the PlayStation 2.

Yet another Namco arcade classics compilation. This time with more games but no Arrangement versions. There's a striped down version available for GBA with only 5 of the games from this on it. There are some popular 80s songs that play in the menu too. This was also ported to PC, GameCube, and Xbox, but because of the StarForce DRM protection the PC version has it won't work on Windows 7 to 11 unless that DRM is cracked out of it.

Featured Games:​

• Pac-Man (1980)
• Ms. Pac-Man (1982)
• Galaga (1981)
• Galaxian (1979)
• Dig Dug (1982)
• Pole Position (1982)
• Pole Position 2 (1983)
• Rolling Thunder (1987)
• Rally-X (1980)
• Bosconian (1981)
• Dragon Spirit (1987)
• Sky Kid (1985)
• Xevious (1982)
• Mappy (1983)
• Pac-Mania (1987)
• Galaga '88 (1988)

To unlock Galaga '88 you must score at least 40,000 points in Galaga and for Pac-Mania at least 20,000 points in Ms. Pac-Man and 15,000 points in Pac-Man.

Note: if you're like me and suck at Pac-Man you can download a save file with the games unlocked from this page (the ones from GameFAQs were messed up and didn't load) and then use the application mymc to import the save into your PCSX2 memory card .ps2

Important note for PCSX2: In order to play the games and not have a black screen you must use the software renderer instead. You can do so by pressing F9 and restarting the game or setting it from the menu in PCSX2.

In times of great Pacman doubt, I look to the good book.

thus the lord spoke unto him "Wakka Wakka Wakka"

This collection has Dragon Spirit, Galaga '88, Rally-X, Rolling Thunder, Sky Kid, Xevious, and Mappy. The other one doesn't have those, but it has the interesting "Arrangement" versions of Galaga, Pac-Man, and Dig Dug from the Namco Classic Collection Vol. 1 and 2 arcade machines from 1995 and 96. There were 6 Arrangement games. Galaga, Xevious, and Mappy in Volume 1 and Pac-Man, Rally-X, and Dig Dug in Volume 2. The only way to play the Arrangement versions that are missing from the Namco Museum from 2001 is to play the original MAME roms for those machines (which I might add at some point) The 2001 version is worth playing just for those 3 Arrangement versions. Other than that this is the better selection of games. However if you really wanna play the best way to experience Namco Museum you should check out Namco Museum Volume 1 to 5 + Encore for PS1 since it's the definitive collection of Namco's best arcade hits along with actual virtual museum exhibits. The emulation of the games in the PS1 versions are actually the best out of all of the future versions since they had the correct source code for them properly ported over and they played super smoothly. Volume 3 even has a special hidden extra mode for Tower of Druaga that includes two extra whole towers: Darkness Tower and Another Tower. No other version of the game has those. Check them out here, I recommend them over the PS2 ones. I even physically own Volume 3.

Oh! I'm going to take your recommendations, bro, thx a museum for guiding me to PS1 versions, :d¡

Sure, I'll do it tomorrow as soon as I can. Although I don't think the save file for unlocked content would work with that version but it might
