just find an iso of the PS2 one online instead, map the right/left reversed on the right stick, and run in software mode on pcsx2, there, that's all you need
this version of Yakuza 2 does a Huge disservice to the original in terms of presentation and pacing, butchers the entire soundtrack, remodels a lot of story characters for the worse imo, and generally just making the original game look cheaper than it actually was
The new side content is alright on it's own but sticks out badly next to the original content, and lack of a third town really drags down a lot of what made Y2 seem so big compared to Y1, Majima Saga especially left a sour taste in my mouth with how barebones it was, the bosses were awful and the story served nothing new or purposeful aside from rethreading Zero's ending again for fanservice
tldr it's an ok standalone game for minigames and sidestuff, fucking awful remake of one of my favourite games ever
