The only mature PS2 emulator is PCSX2. Although PCSX2 is available for both Windows and macOS, the only way to get decent performance on a Mac is to use Boot Camp to run PCSX2 in Windows. | ||

A separate issue with the lighting in this dev build will cause characters to become silhouettes in many settings; this cannot be corrected. | ||

Once Oni 2 is running, there is only one level available by choosing New Game. Fourteen additional levels, however, can be chosen from the Load Game menu. Levels can take a couple minutes to load, and some do not have loading screens, instead displaying a gray screen until they're done loading. Beyond this, an additional 80 layouts can be made available by patching the game disc ISO (instructions [[OBD:Oni2AS|HERE]], patch tool coming soon). "Layout" is the engine's term for what we would call a level or a room; some layouts are quite small, and others are large and complex. There is a total of 95 layouts in the game (including the 1 + 14 levels available normally). However, many of these (24, by one count) are nonfunctional. All the layouts are documented in their current functional or nonfunctional state on the [[../Levels|Levels]] page. | Once Oni 2 is running, there is only one level available by choosing New Game.
