I floated over the lava pit and turned off the cheat. I turned on the cheat I had installed for flying, kinda like noclip but with collisions still enabled. The icon for the emulator had turned into a skeleton drowning in lava. However I could minimize it, thank god for the minimize button. I tried to close the program but it wouldn't close. I dropped my controller and grabbed my mouse. It wasn't like the Kenyan Canyons jump where there's some sort of forbiddence to players making the jump but not AI. I then watched in horror as every single rider behind me jumped straight to their fiery deaths, they couldn't make the jump. This was REALLY out of place, I slammed on my breaks as hard as I could push the button and stopped right before the pit. I raced the rest of the course making sure not to land on any other riders and definitely not letting them land on me.Īt the end of the course was a jump, over a river of lava. But instead of a number, it showed a skull. I was horrified at this message, that game was rated E for everyone for god's sake! Why did I just murder somebody! I looked reluctantly at the list on the left that shows positions, and right under my name, was the rider I had landed on. The other rider fell off and a quite out of place message appeared where it tells you what trick you are performing, the message said “Kill -1000”. About halfway through the race I landed on another racer after a jump, expecting the usual falling off my atv and respawning after the jump.

The shadows seemed a bit rectangular as well, probably just hardware limitations of the PS2 itself. Then when it loaded up, BAM SO much FPS loss, it was running at less than 5 FPS! What was going on? I figured out that some textures the emulator didn't like such as building walls and bricks.
Setting everything to classic ATV action I started the race. I chose Europe 01 P2P as the track since I had never played it before, never being able to unlock it. I used all the cheatcodes off the top of my head like TraxAhoy for all tracks and similar unlock all cheats. What did this mean? Crash the game? Well I shrugged it off again saying to myself it was there all along and I just didn't remember it. Now mind you I never actually read most of the warning but the last part of it this time struck me as odd, “WARNING: DO NOT CRASH”. And despite some lag which was weird for my computer everything worked fine, until I got to the warning screen. I inserted the disk of ATV Offroad Fury 4 and booted the CDVD (After configuring controls).

I shrugged off the false reading as a software glitch and proceeded to run the program. I scanned it to find nothing wrong, no threats, no viruses, and definitely no malware. Anyways I downloaded and installed everything only to find out that Kaspersky (my AntiVirus Software) said it was malware.
It was good except for the fact I had to go to some weird japanese or chinese website to get the PS2 Bios, whatever those were. So browsing through the emulators page on wikipedia, I stumbled across the most popular PS2 emulator, PCSX2.
I had even asked some friends about it but the only thing they knew about emulators was Project 64. So still a bit beaten up about my PS2 I browsed the internet for someway to play my games on my computer. It's really powerful and I'm writing this on it right now. Last winter, around mid January, my father had bought a $1000 computer from our local store, of which the owner was his friend. I was thinking to myself “Crap, what am I going to play?” At the time my GBA was lost and my DS Lite's buttons were so hard to press almost any game was unplayable.īack to where I started, late summer 2013. (those games are unimportant to the story though) Then the next year, it screwed up and stopped working. I had just gotten a Nintendo GameCube and had only two games for it. After my PS2 stopped working, I was almost heartbroken. The only problems with the disc before were that if you left it paused too long it would crash, but the music would still play. I always wanted to play my favorite game on the system, ATV Offroad Fury 4. It was late summer, the Playstation 2 I had played on for years had broken a couple years back.
