I've been playing Castlevania: Lament of Innocent on my PS3 and it seems to have aged pretty well for a 20+ year old game. Is the Smoothing options really that good? Maybe CFW threw in more shader goodies? And wonder if it's pre- or post- processing.

Probably better off using a PS2 for PS2 games, compatibility is just a lot better.
