Game description: Terror returns with Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly, the sequel to the highly popular survival horror title, Fatal Frame. This time the terrifying journey takes you to a whole new creepy setting, an abandoned village, where you play the role of Mio Amakura, a young girl who is gifted with a strong sixth sense and her twin sister Mayu, who notices a crimson butterfly faintly glowing in the sky. Your only weapon, an antique camera, has received a variety of new features to kill ghosts. Get lost in another horrifying tale.
Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly, known in Europe as Project Zero II: Crimson Butterfly and in Japan as Zero ~Akai Chō~ (零 ～紅い蝶～, lit. "Zero ~Crimson Butterfly~"), is a 2003 Japanese horror action-adventure video game and is the second installment in the Fatal Frame series. Unlike in other installments in the series, the Camera Obscura's attack power is based on the player's proximity to the target ghost.

USA v1.60(07/02/2002), The game runs very well, both in Hardware and Software Mode, i've seen one minor graphical glitch during a cutscene while in SWM but it looked like it was a game glitch, plays perfectly and it looks amazing while playing in 1080p!

Known Issues
Cannot re-enter Lattice Room
- Type: Not an issue
- Description: This is a bug in the game itself, but it deserves to be mentioned. In Chapter 4 there is a locked room called the Lattice Room that requires two bodies to open. After leaving this room through the previously locked doors it cannot be entered again. If the key item(required to progress further in the game) in this room is not picked up, it will not be possible to advance in the game and a previous save will have to be loaded.
- Workaround: No known workaround. Check the PCSX2 Discord for more information.
Fixed Issues
MTVU Destroys ingame Textures
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Minor
- Description: If the MTVU Speedhack is enabled while mVU is enabled all Textures in the game will cease to render (This is generally inconsistent and may not happen to you though it's more prone on this game)
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
Speech sometimes too fast
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Minor
- Description: Speech from characters is too fast or stutters at some locations.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
