The compressed ISO often crashes here. To fix: In PCSX2 → Game Properties → Enable "Instant VU1" and disable "Wait for VSync" during this fight only.
Once you have your highly compressed file (e.g., GoW2.7z or GoW2.CHD):
System > Boot ISO (Fast).Fix: Lower your VU Cycle Stealing to -1. Overclocking the PS2’s Vector Unit corrupts particle effects in compressed builds.
Why this is "better work": CHD compression is lossless and preserves all FMVs, audio, and game data. No stuttering, no crashes.
Fix: Your ISO is missing the IOPRP300.IMG file. Use PS2 ISO Tool to re-inject this file from a clean rip.
