I'm actually starting this blog with one of my favorite RPG series, Grandia 3.
As we all know, its old but hey we can still re-live the game and play it on our personal computer through PCSX. I've been playing PS2 games on PCSX for almost 3 years now and I want to share my configs with you guys.
I'll start with my own rig.
