Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria (PS2)

[Guinea]

I've heard this game is an emulation nightmare, and that it crashes left and right due to an anti-cheat called GameGuard that issues false positives. Is this true? And if so, does anyone know where to get a rom that has the GameGuard patched out? I want to play this game, but it would suck to get 20 hours in just for the anti-cheat to ruin my gameplay. (I don't plan on cheating, just afraid the emulation will give a false positive)

Edit- About the anti-cheat, apparently once it kicks in you're screwed and it locks you out, forcing you to start over. Even the backup saves before the false positive happens gets axed.

apparently you can use something called "Maori-Jigglypuff's Overhaul" pnach file in PCSX2 that disables the anti cheat function that causes it
ive put about 10 hours into the game so far and i had no idea this could happen XD

Yeah it used to be a nightmare to emulate but the current version of PCSX2 has all the workarounds and its pretty playable.

Thanks @Boo Man and @Strategist

I'm going to start it as soon as I finish the first game.

Enjoy - Valkyrie Profile 2 is one of the best JRPGs ever made. VP1 and 2 make up probably the most tight and well-crafted duology I've seen in any games. Playing those back to back several years ago is one of the best experiences I've had with gaming.
