What console to use?
Updated 2 years ago by the_oc

While every console, that can play PS1 games, so PS1, PS2 or PS3 will work, PS2s will play the game the fastest, due to the fast disc speed option in the main menu. Playing the game on PS3 is not recommended, as that usually loads games even slower than a PS1.

Not all PS2s are created equal, however. During all the cost cutting measures when making the first slim PS2s, Sony decided to remove the PS1's CPU from the console, which provided I/O handling and PS1 playback for backwards compatibility. Starting with the SCPH-75000 line of slim PS2s, a new chip, nicknamed the Deckard IOP takes over this function. This chip has many compatibility issues with PS1 games, however it renders many PS1 games, including Mizzurna Falls, at a much higher, more playable framerate. This saves a not insignificant amount in a game of such lengths.

This means any console starting from SCPH-75000 all the way up to the last SCPH-90000 batch will grant you the improved framerates and funny music as a side effect.

PS2 slim models: SCPH-70000 (original PS1 cpu, slow) SCPH-75000 (Deckard IOP from here on out) SCPH-77000 SCPH-79000 SCPH-90000 (internal power supply)
