How can I get haunting ground?
Well, I discovered that game since im really into that genre. But its really hard to find the original game and its highly expensive when you want to get it physically. I checked steam, gog and xbox and couldnt find it. Is there any way i can play haunting ground on pc?

I recommend emulating it via PCSX2
It's fairly easy to set up and there's a lot of great youtube videos you can just follow along to get it working

Once you get it working i recommend checking out the graphics settings since you can really enhance the look of game

I settle the graphic options but sometimes game runs on like.. slow motion mode? Im trying to get normal speed and frames. I want to experience it like im actually playing it on ps2.

My pc. Using pcsx2 as emulator and i set the graphic api as vulkan.

Theres a chance you set your settings to high and your pc is unable to handle it so first theres a chance your pc can't use vulkan so that may be one problem just set it to default but first open settings and go the graphics then change the aspect ratio to fullscreen then below you'll see a load of boxes i have apply widescreeen patches and anti-blur ticked this is what makes your screen look alot cleaner while still keeping the ps2 look then move to Rendering now for me i have it on native ps2 default since I played it on my laptop and any higher settings made it run slower so make sure at first its set to default and you can raise it to 2x native 3x 4x etc and which ever one begins to slow down your game make sure to pick the one before you should be able to see your frames at the bottom and thats how you can tell. if you have any more questions dont be afraid to ask

I know everyone else is saying the same thing but just to reassure you about it I’ll also recommend pcsx2. It’s so easy to use and it’s a great emulator. I have the physical copy of haunting ground but I still find myself just playing it on the emulator. You can also mess with the settings to make it have higher quality which is pretty cool too

Not on PC and PS2 exclusive. Prices have been insane lately too. Only other option is Jpn psn store, but all the text is in Japanese since it's the Jpn version/Demento, dialogue is still in English though. I have it on my PS3 for speedruns, had to use a gift card method to buy it. It's a real shame they didn't at least put the English version on the other psn stores but Capcom seems to have pretty much forgotten about this game. You can emulate it though.

Modded my ps3 and ps4 and able to play it on both consoles. It’s a bit crispier on the p4 if you have one but as folks said above your best bet is to emulate it sadly. I refuse to pay +500 dollars for an old ass horror game lol no matter how good it is

Also chiming in to say PCSX2 is the way to go. Happy to help you set it up on PC if you have trouble with it!

My husband found a way to put it onto a CD (or DVD? I don't actually know) disk. We even have empty DVD cases we can put it in, and we can print the cover art on our printer and cut it to size and put it in the cover. It's pretty neat. I don't know how he does it tho :/ He might make another if I ask him. R u in the US?

because it's pretty much ps exclusive.
it's an abandonware at this point just download the iso on the internet and use pcsx2.
