In addition to their investment, T2 stipulated that a PlayStation 2 port would be released alongside Oni for Windows and Macintosh. That port was created by Rockstar Toronto (known at the time as Rockstar Canada), and because the game had been designed for a PC with a hard drive, changes had to be made in order to load the game more quickly from CD-ROM. Even after this work, the PS2 version has been noted for its long load times. | ||

When using this emulator, load times are greatly reduced by placing an ISO of the game disc on your hard drive. You can also easily apply patches from within PCSX2 instead of having to buy a cheat device for your PS2, so this is the best way to run the game. | ||

They might try to attack you after beating Karen, and the training bots sometimes forget the defense/offense program they're supposed to be following and wantonly attack you. It remains to be seen if this is an overall glitch with AI in the PS2 version. | ||

The second movie contains the original anime intro. | ||

* Instead of using Trailer and Farewell | * Instead of using "Trailer" and "Farewell" for the credits, the PS2 credits have completely different music. This is probably because the PC credits are 171 seconds long, but the PS2 credits are 156 seconds (NTSC) or 204 seconds (PAL). (The differing frame rate of PAL's 25fps vs. NTSC's 30fps cannot account for this 48-second time difference, and the credits themselves are identical; the PAL version simply scrolls the credits 30% slower for some reason.) To cover these credits sequences of differing length, a new backing track with a house beat was composed by Rockstar Canada staff. The shorter version fades out arbitrarily as the credits end, whereas the longer PAL track then goes on an extended (and eyebrow-raising) riff on female pain sounds from the game and then closes with an actual coda. | ||
