Yeah let me just get right on that and pull out $400 on a single game. Is this like the same thing where boomers act like we can afford a house because they could back in the day just from working part-time at an entry level job?
you forgot the emulator, retard. nobody is paying for this shit except retarded faggots
Consoletoddlers should be publicly executed.
>>738771901This. Does OP think people who read comic books are spending thousands on prints that have less than 100 copies to read them, or invest in them?
>>738771901>just use a shitty, laggy, inaccurate emulator bro!!
>>738771821this bro never heard of emulators lmao
I just did THIS to you.
>>738771972enjoy paying $600 because you're too retarded to figure out how to set up your emulator correctly
skill issue
>>738771972Oh, you are pretending to be retarded.
>>738771965I don't think people read comic books
>>738771972just play in software mode you fucking nigger
>>738771972Silent Hill 3 emulates perfectly
>>738771972Skill issue. Go die, then kill yourself, then learn how to set up the thing property. Or go ahead and cough up a crisp $500 'cause you not poor and can afford it, right?
shitty bait thread use an emulator faggot
>>738771821when retards say "emulators are illegal" I always think about these retarded prices, supporting this should be illegal instead
>>738772034>the single most downloaded PS2 rom on the internet>on the most accurate software renderer mode>has blatant and distracting visual issues within literally the first 20 seconds of gameplay >that have been known about for multiple years>in addition to PCSX2 just being a laggy piece of shit, and having massively different timing from original hardware in general>this is somehow acceptable
>He doesn't know how to mod his PS2Zoomers and Gen Alpha deserve to get fleeced.
>>738771821There are cheaper games than that.
>>738772067That *IS* software mode you fucking retarded mongoloid. That is the exact moment I uninstalled PCSX2 and ordered a PS2 off ebay. >>738772173OPL has such poor compatibility that it might as well be emulation, at least you don't have to deal with PCSX2's horrendous latency issues though.
>>738771972>>738772138>laggyreduce audio latency and disable vsync to minimize input delay in pcsx2
>>738771972>>738772138Just play the game, who gives a shit if one pixel is off
I wish emulation didn't exist so poorfags could be gatekept from playing great games.
>>738772248>OPL has such poor compatibilityname 5 games (that people actually play)
>>738771972>all these butthurt replies
>>738772248opl plays literally any ps2 game, dummy>m-muh compatibility list that haven't been updated since 2017!lol i literally went and tested a game from one of those dogshit lists where a game supposedly refuses to boot and it played just fine https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/718348542/#718372994
>>738771972>this againwasnt this fixed years ago
>>738772920OPL still crashes when trying to return to the main menu in Twisted Metal Black.
>>738772920It has a lot of timing issues, freezes, broken cutscenes, more crashes, etc.
Shoulda buyoughted when everybody was throwing out their Gaystation Poos scrumdiddlyuncblud.
>>738773016It does not
>>738771901There is an army of people on here who think emulators are heresy
>>738771972Works on my machine
>>738771972Then buy a memory card that you can load .isos on to. You are insane for not doing this. It's like 50 bux.I do agree that PS2 emulation is unacceptably shoddy for how long it's been available.
>>738772173>>738772248buy a PS2 slim, a swap magic and a dvd burner, retardyou can mod the ps2 slim by sticking wadded up tissue paper in the lid latchno "emulation" or "playing the games off a harddrive and the games won't hecking load!!!!"
>>738773221>a swap magicUnc moment
>>738773121z**mers are not people
>>738773121A lot of cucks around here then.They probably rather wait for the publishers to rerelease the games with their own emulators and pay extra, huh?Dumb retards
>>738773254I bet you drive an electric vehicle.
>>738773264Worse, they wait for the remaster.
>>738773221just buy a hard drive burning discs is for retards
>>738773065I remember thinking $40 was too expensive for it back then. I relucantly bought a copy for it at that price. Should have got SH4 as well while I was at it.
>>738771821Just pirate it retard
>>738773371>burning discs is for retardsIs it?I stated it as an "answer" to an Anon complaining about compatibility with whatever harddrive based iso booting solution exists for the PS2.
>>738771972The sub-humans replying to this really should be killed for holding emulation back be being okay with lazy shit-ass code and "Fuck you. You do it." design.It's definitely noticeably a free method of playing PS2 games and you should be fucking ashamed of yourself for defending obtuse retard autist emulator design that absolutely requires testing and setting up every fucking game you want to play. You have fucking brain rot if you think it's okay to suffer all this "Why is this new problem happening?" bullshit if all you want to do is play a 20 year old game. It's lazy no-talent hackfraud software design and there is no other way to describe it. I will happily pay for McBoot any day of the week compared to emulation. The absolute state of emulation is truly despicable compared to the 90s boom of instant accurate emulation with no set up besides a file directory.It's disgraceful and you don't look smart at all for defending it.
>>738773431PS2 emulation is solved at this point
>>738773431AgainWorks on my machine
>>738771972>>738773431>"Fuck you. You do it.">the 90s boom of instant accurate emulation with no set up besides a file directoryAre you talking about fucking VisualBoyAdvance or something?Because the nightly version of PCSX2 is far fucking better than the 1.6 bullshit from 15 fucking years ago and games are more complex with much more compatibility concerns and unique architecture and whatever the fuck else that requires fine tuning at times. It's not a fucking Gameboy game.Wait, are you maybe still playing 1.6 instead of the ACTUAL release of PCSX2?
>>738773347Baffled by this insult.2022 Subaru Legacy Sport in Abyss Blue Pearl.
>>738773519>you can increase render resolution>HOLY SHIT THIS MEANS PS2 EMULATION IS SOLVED, LITERALLY FLAWLESS!!how stupid and brown are you?
>>738771901It's called collecting, zoomerbro. You wouldn't get it. I mean it, literally, you can't even afford it.
>>738773353Even worse are the ones who play a demake instead
>>738773537Boot up God of War 1 using software renderer and it still looks like this
>>738773568>plays the entire ps2 library with better visuals, higher framerates, texture packs, speedup, etcyeah its solved
here's the latest stable using the most accurate software renderer btw LMFAOgreat fucking emulator you got here
>>738773747Uhm, soul?
>>738773673>better visualsthe clash between low-res background textures and ultra-sharp character models looks terrible, at best you would want to do supersampling at like 3x upscale, but nothing will beat native res + Retrotink 4k or CRT>higher framerateswith inaccurate timing, and significantly higher input latency and audio latency>texture packspure zoomer shit>speedupfor load times? sure, one small advantage for the tradeoff of inaccurate timing, massive input latency and audio latency, and frequent graphical and audio issuesPCSX2 gold standard is simply not being so broken that the game is unbeatable. Even "perfect" (of which only 1% of the library is defined as), only means no major graphical or audio issues or crashing, and speaks nothing to timing.
>>738771821This is how Nentendo fans actually think
>>738771821>PS2>Old.
>>738774010nta but every ps2 title i've emulated has been utterly flawless. What the fuck are you complaining about?
>>738771821Retard
>>738773610>collecting mass produced media in formats destined to root at overpriceDumb niggerPirated collections are the only ones that will last forever.
>>738774164Yes, you're right, you have a special version of PCSX2 that has flawless emulation, despite the actual official compatibility list saying otherwise. In reality, you are a stupid, poor, brown retard with no standards who has no idea what the game is actually supposed to be like and doesn't even notice the audio and graphical issues, or the timing issues, or the significant video and audio latency.
>>738774152The ps2 is 50 years old anon
>>738774310Cuck and a retard
>>73877432750 is still young
Even PSX, N64, and Saturn have tons of compatibility issues (not to mention tons of input and audio lag) on everything but MiSTerI could not imagine being a poorfag retard still using PC emulation.
>>738771821It's like 5 bucks in Japan
i installed a bluray drive in my ps2 and burnt the game on bluray disksthe load speeds you get are insane
>>738771821Nigga, you don't even have to emulate, SH3 is natively on PC with enhancement mods and it's abandonware, so it's "ethical" piracy if you care about that.
>>738771942Deploy some IQ in your toxicity.
>>738773172Do you need to jailbreak your '2 for this?
>>738771821Use FreeMcBoot nigga
>>738773121autistic social anxiety retards who think that then.
>>738772024>Samsung CRTHow is it? I never bought Korean back then, I only ever owned Sony, Panasonic and Sharp
>>738771972I played SH3 like 15 years ago on PC without an emulator, the native PC version that is. I'm sure it won't lag on whatever PC you have right now.
>>738771901Zoomer haven't been mindbroken by their corporate gods.They would unironically rather pay 500 dollars for a ps2 game than ever even THINK about emulating it. Not even joking.
>>738774010didn't ask plus you're brown
>>738771821this is why you emulate or check the pc ports.
>>738771972I remember this autist
>>738773121Literal jap bug man mentality or actual retardationHow fucking hard is it to set up an emu you have the Internet retards use it
>>738774994Nintendo is my friend and i need to buy their games.May you get caught.
I got the HD remaster for 90% cheaper than that and I don't give a shit about "muh PS2 version" it's perfectly playable.
>>738775030It's just funny when you think about it.They want you to pay money to play their Roms on a shittier emulator.Even their fucking museum is using emulators
>>738771821w-who cares if a remake is bad?? the original still exists!!!>original gets delisted from digital storefronts
>>738773431>compared to the 90s boom of instant accurate emulationIt took an eternity for a lot of stuff to become remotely accurate let alone cycle accurate. What are you even talking about? To this day we still don't have an NES emulator outside of that one Youtuber's that can actually pass all the debug checks, and his emulator is basically just used to replay TAS runs one frame at a time so it's not even usable to a layman.
>>738771821Damn shame we will never get a collection of 1-4 done right. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
>>738771821Roms are free and you know it. Shit thread.
>>738772034>pretending
>>738771965>people who read comic books
OP you're retarded.It's a wonder how you're able to dress yourself in the morning.
>>738771821boomers are out of touch retards, its like the guy who says why back in my day we biked to work these goddamn spoiled kidsmeanwhile he lives a block across from the store and was paid the equivalent of 30$ an hour in modern day spending power.
>>738775547Sex with dixie
>>738775574most intelligent post in this thread
>>738775328A layman doesn't care if a NES rom passes all "debug checks" lol. You've to be very autist to care if the Baloon Fight pallete is off by a pixel.
>>738776085While that's true, there's very few emulators that are cycle accurate like an actual system. Nearly all of them are winging it.
speculation has destroyed videogame collecting and retro gamingwould I like to have all original games on my ps2? yes if it's like a few bucks a pop400 buckaroos? lol, lmao even
>>738771821fr bruh shit is scary ion gonna lie
>>738776632I'm right now in a Download spree. Getting all the games i didn't play back then.It's fun trying out all those new old games.
