If you legally own the game and are creating a backup, here is how the landscape looks: | Version | File Size | Quality | Emulation Status | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Full Original ISO | 3.2 GB | 100% | Perfect | | Standard Compressed (ZIP/7z) | 1.6 GB | 100% | Requires extraction | | High Compression (CSO/ZSO) | 700 MB | 100% | Direct play on PCSX2 | | Ripped/Repack | 300 MB | 70% (No videos) | Buggy, crashes often |
A properly compressed CSO file at roughly 700 MB offers that: the full game, no cut corners, just smaller storage footprint. Pair it with PCSX2 upscaled to 1080p, and you are playing the definitive version of one of the best co-op games ever made.
Fire up the emulator, press "Start" on Player 2, and relive the Shaolin tournament.
