No-life PS2 guy here again. I'll be getting my PS2 back again soon, and I managed to find the CS ISOs, so now I'm wondering about something I remember from many years ago. In those days, I used swap magic to play the actual discs, imported, but around that same time, I had an HDD with, I believe it was HDDLoader.
Anyway, I remember trying to load a few IIDX isos on there and there were problems with desync. The games were basically unplayable. I know IIDX is niche, but maybe there's a workaround, or a method that works? I don't want to pay $200+ for an Empress disc.
Failing that, is there a PS2 emulator config that works?

I appreciate it. My layout is basically this. I use a similar layout for DJM*X, but I prefer the numpad if possible. Looks like I can't do that in LR2 though.
