well the sensible answer would be "yes", but I'm not so sure...
It's true that certain games work on it now that didn't before.
Simpsons wrestling for example.. (which is a crap game btw)

But it seems..I'm not sure if anybody else has the same problem.. that using the phantom cd-from daemon tools to simulate a CD-rom doesn't work anymore... and I have trouble getting any ISOs to work..
and games such as Tekken 3 run even worse than before..
I seem to get "Error reading CD" far more often than before

I have a 1.1Gig AMD. 256K geforce 2...
I don't think my computer is the problem.


I've been testing all my games all day, (I have a lot) and on a whole I feel that the new version is worse than the old one.

Many games that had small problems now are perfect, so my answer is yes this new version is the best, and it is already better than the VGS, at least for my

 

[fivefeet8]

THe list of improvements for me so far.......:

FF7 doesn't crash anymore
Tekken 3 runs better
Dino Crisis runs perfect(voices and everything)
gT2 runs flawlessly
FF8 runs flawlessly
FF9 runs almost pefect(sound looping still there but less noticible with internal pluggin)
REsident evil 2 run perfect now(no more sound problems)
MEtel Gear solid run better(less sound bugs)
running iso games without a problem......
Every other game I have runs better overall.....

So my answer would be, yes, it's better than 1.2......

 

[Samor]

yep, it's better...small fixes, but they make a lot of games much better playable....
and new logo r0x0rz

 

[Raziel]

It's closer to perfection with every release.

 

[Bahamut_Zero]

of course, it's better

 

[sxamiga]

It is better definately. Every release has been an improvement over the last one. If you seem to have a problem that you didn't before, then you may need to do something a little differently than you did. This is often the case w/new versions of things, you have to change some things to get them to work well. I am very impressed, Doom now works, Castlevania has perfect speech, Gauntlet Legends has all it's music and sounds and the list goes on.
Just keep working w/your problems and ask for help when necessary, I'm sure you'll start to see improvements.
sincerely,

I've found that just about everything in Tony Hawk 2 runs better, there's less lag when making selections in the menu and far less skipping when running the game off a CD.
