Question about emulating a specific game...

I am a huge Vampire Savior/Dark Stalkers fan and I really like arcade perfect ports. Unfortunately if you know Capcom has put suicide protection on their CPS2 games. What would you do if you were a big fan? Play the Saturn/DC version or emulate? The CPS2 is going to die a horrible death.

Should I buy the CPS2 cart to show support to capcom and then just emulate?

I am so confused.. <IMG SRC="smilies/loco.gif" border="0">


note: The biggest problem is "LOADING" messages. How good is Saturns Vampire Savior? Is it almost like playing a cartridge based game?

CPS 2 has been emulated. The newest version of Mame should be good enough.

Saturn's Vampire Savior only has noticable load time once - when the game is started. Once you are in, there is no noticable load time in the traditional sense , and no loading screens. There is a VERY brief pause before the match starts (on the VS. screen), and that is all, maybe half of a second. It does play very much like a cartridge. Vampire Chronicle is even faster.
