Im looking at roms to download and none of them are appealing
Gaming just sucked before 2006
>>73612173875% of its sales were so boomers could get a cheap DVD player
>all at least a minute apartVery sad.
>>736121867Gaming sucked before 2017 and don't @ me because all that old shit is gay as fuck
Try Disgaea 1 and Battlefront 2(BF2 was better on Xbox though)
>>736121738right here, shitstack
lowkirkenuinely mid ahh uncslop
>>736121738I enjoyed socom ii
>>736121738i have about 1,5tb of ps2 games now
Another Tendie cope thread. PS2 is by far the greatest console of all time. Only zoomers disagree because they need spoonfeeding.
>>736121738Get fucked, nigger. Katamari Damacy, Gradius V, God Hand, Silent Hill 2, R-Type Final, The Red Star... Just get fucked, nigger.
>>736121738This console wasn’t built for your generation. Stick to brainrot and despair.
>>736122781What is the lost level archive? It's all patches and translations for PS2 shit?
>>736121738They don't have Subway Surfers? On God lowkey rizz blud!
>>736121738DOD is all you need
>>736121738Time to find a new hobby or go back to your gacha and multiplayer slop
OP promptly bodied for being an embarrassment
Ps2 has my favorite library of any console. Persona 3 fes and 4 are must play jrpgs. Bully is the best rockstar game.
>>736121738i've always wanted to play pic and it just got a retroachievement set but i'm too busy playing wii shit now kek.
>>736124353My nig. Ever played The Red Star? Probably Yoko Taro's inspirational action-and-shmup hybrid combat you find in NieR.
>>736122781I'm at around 1.8TB, around 700 games. PS2 just has too many good titles.
>>736123623OP is smarter than all of you They just wanted recommendations OP go play God Hand
this translated, vintage fromsoft PEAK.just don't bother with any other King's Field slop. they can't compare
Play this:https://youtu.be/RM6xqIns7d8
>>736125641A smart person would specify what they want. It's piss easy to just google "good ps2 games." If those aren't good enough, explain what you're looking for.
>>736121738The PS2 library was unapologetically Japanese, if you're allergic to anime you'll probably get more enjoyment out of the Xbox library. Though I don't know how well Xbox emulation is doing these days--last I checked, it kind of sucked.
>>736124641Haven’t heard of it
>emulation You didnt play it
>>736127805You'd like it if you enjoy Contra-esque combat and bullet hell bosses.
>>736121738You must be over 18 to post here.
>>736121738It's a console made for wiggers, what did you expect? Literally no one talks about it anymore. Meanwhile the GameCube causes seething to this day by those same wiggers.
>>736121738ps2 was popular because of dvd's not games
Maybe you just don't like video games.
>>736121738All good PS2 games have been ported, remastered and remade thousand times. Theres not much reason to own ps2 anymore.
>>736121738Black is pretty fun, and the GTA games look better on it than they did on the Xbox (albeit at a lower resolution).
>>736121738Someone ported Undertale to the PS2 recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Uhun4hzIQc Technically you can use this to play any gamemaker game that runs the same version of the engine.
>>736128951>All good PS2 games have been portedNot Red Star, except for the PSP port, but that didn't have 2-player support.
>>736128951I had been waiting for so long for a PS2 remaster of the Ace Combat trilogy but I later heard/realized it was never going to happen due to licensing. So I guess those are some games that can only be played there.
Shadow of the Colossus, God Hand, Burnout Takedown and Revenge, Devil May Cry 3, Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, Okami, Silent Hill 2 and 3, Clocktower 3, Fatal Frame 2, Armored Core 2 and 3 (and their expansions), op is a fag, etc
xbox>gamecube>ps2it was good but its competitors were better
>>736128951There are a lot of games still stuck on PS2 - some have better versions on OG Xbox, but still.
PS1 only has like 3 good exclusives>Silent hill>Metal Gear Solid>Parasite EvePS2 was the golden age>Dmc3>Shadow of the Colossus>Godhand>Ico>Gungrave>MGS3>etcPS3? Complete fucking trash. Almost its entire lineup is forgettable middleware slop or wildly overrated kusoge that only braindead Sony ponies with rose-tinted glasses think are good. It had almost zero real exclusives worth remembering.The only reason you'd even get one was to play PS2 rereleases. The console is carried purely by nostalgia and marketing and that just furthers highlights the quality of the ps2
>>736130416All of those games are shitty uncslop. Gaming didn't get good until the seventh gen.
>>736131049Name 3 good PS3 exclusives or gtfo
>>736128951>All the [insert any platform here] games have been ported, remastered and remadeYou're not an enthusiast for this medium. You're a casual.That's okay, by the way. But you need to admit it.
>>736131128PS3 didn't have good exclusives, that's why everybody who wasn't a pedophile weeb bought a 360.
>>736127949I use SNAC with MiSTer, thereby using the original controllers over a serial connection exactly like the original console.
No. This is probably bait but in the office chance it's not: This isn't even a matter of opinion. It's the greatest console ever made by the sheer volume of masterpieces in it's library. If you can't find a game you want to play out of all of them then you simply don't like video games
>>736130360I should have bought an xboxhueg when they were $50. fuuuuuuuuuck
>>736131614The 360 can play most of its library, and even more if you mod it.
>>736121738Just download demo discs. That's how we used to find new games.
>>736121867>>736121991Gaming just straight up sucks. No wonder Nvidia was happy about throwing this industry made for losers under the bus as soon as they got better markets to explore.
>>736121991You need to be 18 to post here
>>736131614i have 2 and they both refuse to turn on, and the only way to fix them at this point is with a mod chop. nice console albeit unreliable as fuck
>>736131647are they easy to mod?
>>736131049i forgot CoD kids can post here
>>736131842yeah you can softmod a 360 with just a usb drive these days, search up "badavatar expoloit".https://consolemods.org/wiki/Xbox_360:Original_Xbox_Games_Compatibility_List#Compatibility_Listmake sure to check the compatibility list though, not everything form og xbox is supported and some games have other performance or visual bugs.
I'm thinking of buying a free mcboot off Amazon to soft mod my 70000 ps2 slim. Based on tutorials I've seen, the only things I really need are>the mcboot>a big ass usb drive for roms >a separate big memory card (not really needed but suggested to avoid altering the mcboot card too much)Are those the only things I need? I'm not really interested in hacking my ps2 any more than just being able to download a bunch of roms and playing them, I just want to plug and play.
>>736131943Children haven't played CoD in forever. CoDkiddies are approaching their 30's.
>>736131842That guy mentioned bad avatar, but its even easier now with bad update. There's a few guides on youtube on how to do it, but all it really involves is downloading some files, copying them to a usb, and editing a .ini file.
>>736132109>>a big ass usb drive for romsAre you storing the games on here? Because the PS2 uses USB1.0 and it's way too slow to play games from. If you only have a Slim, you're better off playing games form the memory card with a MMCE or Memcard Pro2.
>>736132328Hooking up your PS2 to your PC or a Raspberry Pi with an ethernet cable is better than using the memory card.
>>736132109Games loaded from USB stutter in cutscenes and have bad load times. If you don't mind that, its fine, but if you do, you can get a memory card to sd card adapter to load games from. Although if you do that you'll need to save on to the fmcb memory card. You can install fmcb to one of those big aftermarket memory cards though, so it won't be too much of an issue.Alternatively, you can play games from burned DVDs, though that does require patching the ISOs with ESR or FreeDVDBoot before burning them. Though FreeDVDBoot doesn't need a modded memory card to work, since its already an exploit.
>>736132328You can play games from USB, you just have to live with stuttering fmv cutscenes if you do. That's only with PS2 games though, PS1 games don't stutter.
>>736132441Only on the shitty slim models. The original model can load from MMCE with no issue.
Okay, thanks for letting us know. Enjoy your time on Fortnite. Want some vbucks?
>>736132328>Because the PS2 uses USB1.0 and it's way too slow to play games fromYeah I did hear about that but just how much slower are we talking? If not that much I'll just make do with the USB. I heard defraggling (or whatever the term for breaking the games up into smaller files) makes it run better but that was recommended for games over 4 gb and the games I'm interested in so far are less than that.>>736132441Too much work, like I said I just want to plug and play. Besides if I had a decent PC I'd have just emulated off that instead of hacking my PS2>>736132486Yeah I can live with slow times and cutscenes I suppose. I might look into that SD card adapter though, seems simple enough.>Alternatively, you can play games from burned DVDs, though that does require patching the ISOs with ESR or FreeDVDBoot before burning them.I've considered that too, but I'm opting for the mcboot since it seems simpler and more cost effective.
>>736132747>more cost effective.It's like $20 for a pack of 50 good quality DVDs. I guess if 40 cents a game is too much then fair enough, but you're on a level of cheapness from me.Oh I forgot to mention, that utility you're of is the ps2 usb utility. Its mandatory if you want to play games over 4GB in size, since the PS2 only supports fat32 formatted flash drives, and fat32 doesn't allow files larger than 4gb.Also, PS1 games run via popstarter don't have the stuttering cutscene issue. So if you want to play RE 1-3 or FF7, it'll give you no issues, at least no stuttering issues. Popstarter, being a PS1 emulator coded 25 years ago, has its own issues with a lot of games.
>>736133058I just think it would be annoying having to burn a bunch of DVDs constantly lol
>>736133185Fair enough. Disc swapping is also a bit tedious.
>>736132747i'd probably go the memory card route. i bought one of these off aliexpress during the holidays but don't have any experience with loading games from it. reviews under it sound like it's fine for that though.
>>736121919I remember my friends bragging about getting one for the blu ray dvd player and I had an Xbox which did…the exact same thing. People bought the ps2 because it had more commercials on tv, don’t kid yourself
>>736133301>ps2>bluray
>>736133493Same thing
>>736133549They're not though.
>>736133301>>736133549you were born in 2005, just shut up
>>736132747>>736133283Playing off anything other than the DVD drive, the HDD bay, or the Ethernet port on a PS2 will be below full speed. This means you'll load into games slower and large FMV files will stutter. USB speeds on the PS2 are laughably slow, and the cutscenes will be almost unwatchable because of the horrible audio. The cutscene will play at roughly half speed on USB. Loading off a memory card will be much faster but still occasionally stutter in some cutscenes.
>>736133283>>736133909Yeah I guess the memory card is the best way to go for me in terms of trade offs. Reminds me of the flash cart I use for my DS
