Silent Hill 2 (PC) - A patch by me.

Cool. I might have to try this. I tried playing Silent Hill 1 on the PS1 and thought it was kind of cool but didn't get too far. I doubt there's anything similar for it since PS1 games don't scale too well. Is there any harm in skipping to 2?

No harm at all. SH2 is a completely different story than SH1. Don't skip to 3, though - SH3 is a direct sequel to SH1.
