As the title says, I would like to ask a few questions regarding this game (no ISO please, just answers ), and all are mostly based on release and compatibility lol. Yes I know it's a PS2-exclusive semi-dumb budget title, but I have my personal reasons for digging into it sometime in the future, once I get me a PS2. So here goes:

1. Okay, this may be kind of lame, but clears out confusion quite effectively. So, has the initial version of Project Minerva (as in not Professional xD) ever been released outside Japan (I know MIDAS hasn't, just bumping if there was anyone else)?
2. What ARE the differences between the initial and Professional anyway? Haven't found out any kind of list or wiki to clarify ...
3. Are there ANY GameShark codes for the Japanese releases of both versions? And if so, is there at least ONE for the 50Hz mode?
4. Any relation of the game to (just in case, not interested in the pachinko, obviously xD)?

And that's all I could think of, I'll update this post with new discrepancies if I think of any ...

1. No, Simple Series was only released in Japan.
2. The full original name is Simple 2000 Series Ultimate Volume 23 Project Minerva , a collection of indie games for 2000 yen . After the success of MGS2 a updated version was made, called Project Minerva Professional (see this as free AGS games remade into full retail remaster) . Midas the king of crap games on PS2 just translated this better looking version .
3. You force it , even 60hz or even 1080p .
4. Hentai paper back ... use your imagination .

Why not just run this through an emulator , 97% of games work fine with it .
An when you do get a PS2 get Component Cables .

you force it by Xploder or its clones ... when you get a PS2 get the FAT version , insert a 500gig FAT32 hdd , run MCboot and your set ... if you get a slim be ready for a land of HURT ... no HDD , forced to use USB 1.1 (or do a NAS with its 100mb network adapter) , Laser ribbon has temperature memory making silver cycle scratches after 5 months of use , you can Chip it (but its not recommended if you don't do a laser protector ) , only a MCboot is recommended on those slims

and why did you ask for this, when his blog had all your answers , he even speaks about the comparisons and other stuff you asked

and this game releases are fracked more then Dragons Lair ... first the game came , then a remake with 10 side ops and new graphics , then it was picked up by D3 and came to SS , then D3 pushed for an English version and sold it to Midas ... then then again is Japan , so its NORMAL
