Why aren't you playing PS2 games?
I was always more into Nintendo/PC games growing up. Maybe I should try to get a PS2 in the future (as long as it isn't absurdly overpriced)
I quite literally am.
But I am!
my PS2 slim needs to be upside down and crushed with a weight on it to work
I will eventually.
>>743314904Can you emulate using the PS2 console? Not interested in collecting physical.Not sure if that gives any benefits over just emulating on a PC also.
I am playing DMC3 on my PS2 though?
>>743315106Cool setup, anon
>>743314998It would be a life changing experience for you
>>743314904>Silent Hill 2It's on my PC right now lol. I didn't pay for it btw.
>>743315106Why would you tolerate those shit speakers in the name of authenticity? The CRT has actual benefits like motion clarity but bad speakers are just bad speakers.
>>743315463ok jeet didn't ask btw
>>743315512Because I got them for free, and the screen has no speakers of its own.
>>743315463Did you download the patch that fixes the PC version?
>>743315375Yeah get a phat ps2 install a HDD use a freemcboot card to mod it and install games to the hardrive
>>743315540Seething sucker who paid $200 for plastic.
>>743315573 Good speakers cost almost nothing, especially if you want period appropriate. Less than a copy of Silent Hill 2 or 3 for sure.
>>743314998No joke you can probably get a good condition PS2 slim and like the 5-10 biggest greatest hits games for under $200 at any given time
>>743315573>because I got them for freeBased
>>743315636I got my copy of SH2 for twenny diddledoos some 20 years ago, so I wouldn't know about that.
>>743315624is $200 a shit ton of rupees to you or something
>>743314904Busy playing something else, but I am considering whether I should start Growlanser 2 next.
>>743315724I can assure you that you can get better speakers for $20. Just stay off ebay.
>>743315624>$200 for plastic.but enough about the anus neo thor
>>743315680That's not based, that's poorfaggotry you brown retard
>>743315601Yep.
>>743315375PS2 is possibly the easiest console to softmod. It's not emulation. You load a drive full of games and it just werks.>>743314998>>743315662Look for untested consoles from eBay sellers who are clearly selling random secondhand bullshit on their profile. The fat I use right now I got for $30.
>>743315890This. Any CD based retro system deserves a proper sound system.
>>743314904i have no ps2
>>743316232why
>>743315776>anus neo thorThe fuck is that?
>>743316317You know exactly what it is you anal vapor sniffer.
>>743314904I don't want to disturb the spiders that live inside mine.
I have already played the ps2 games that tickle my fancy.
>>743314904Because every PS2 game has a sequel on PS3 that's just superior in every way.
>>743314904It's next on my "all in on retro" listAlthough I am very interested in the fpga ps1 system in the works
>>743314904My disc drive stopped working 20 years ago.
>>743317406no
Because I’m at work. What should I play when I get home /v/, Armored Core 2/3, Mark of Kri, or The thing?
I play with my GF
>>743318270holy larp
>>743318270>that stack>only one good game>and it's PALsad.
>>743314904Already had my midlife crisis moment with it. I'm peering more into the PS1 these days.
>>743318270Are goth girls as GFs loving or huge bitches? Sorry, I have never met a goth girl and I'm a virgin.
>>743314904I sure am!
>>743314904>Consoles Well, I'm not a homosexual, so I guess....
>>743317490The "FPGA PS1" is just a rebadged MiSTer. The MiSTer is still good, but it's not some new thing.
>>743318530They're mentally ill. They're actually not fun to bother with.
I own 10 consoles but PS2 isn't one of them. Been thinking about getting one for light gun games and Singstar though.
>>743314904>>743315463>>743318270Silent Hill 1 and 3 are better.
>>743318826I like the story of 2 best, but 1 is definitely a much superior horror game. 3 is just okay despite what Heatherposters might tell you.
>>743316149Granted I did a very cursory search, but it looks like this still launches games through OPL. What's the point of it?
>>743319882It launches through Neutrino by default, but it can use OPL as well. I just think it looks nice and looks a little more authentic.
>>743314904I want to play them on a handheld. I have devices powerful enough to emulate them, but they are all 16:9. I have the 4:3 Anbernic RG 406H, but it struggles on some PS2. I have the Retroid Pocket Nova on pre-order, so I am waiting to play some of the "best of" games until that thing ships. Got the crystal version with 12gb of ram. Probably overkill, but I want to be able to use the video out for more powerful 16:9 stuff if I feel like it.
>>743320085I see.I've found PS2 softmodding to be oddly sloppy given the platform's popularity. The apps seem disparate and OPL generally works, but I've experienced quite a few quirks and glitches in casual use. Expecting a perfect, one-size-fits-all solution is super gay on my part but I can't help feeling underwhelmed.All this is easy to say as someone who has done zero work and couldn't even if he tried.
>>743314998nigger you have a PC, just emulate
>>743315776Why are you mad about the Thor
>>743320362I am not mad, does it bother you when I call it an anus?
>>743318270What is the recent obsession I see with white Monster lately
>>743314904I'm too busy playing PS1 games instead
>>743320278Neutrino is highly compatible. I personally haven't run into a single bug with it whereas OPL required me to fuck around with mode settings constantly.
>>743320497>latelyIt’s been a quintessential part of meming about boomers for a while now.
>>743320278>I've found PS2 softmodding to be oddly sloppy given the platform's popularity.The biggest problem is distribution. Content that has been around for a long time demonstrating tutorials highlighting releases from ps2-home, especially jay-jays OPL which is notorious. The official maintained versions are generally very good and nightly releases have up to date features and performance.Many packages that are ready made to get people started are also extremely out of date, parading around 15+ year old versions of software, tutorials for WinHIIP when it hasn't been relevant for a decade, and much much more. It's a mature scene but there's not a strong central pillar distributing information and there's certainly people who want you using their version of something rather than something else.
>The boys want to watch footy on Saturday, but your bitch wife is deathly ill.What would you do in this situation?
>>743320461No, it confuses me. Especially because it sounds like you're making a jab at Ayaneo when the device is actually from AYN.
>>743320667Yes but why is it associated with zoomers and goth girls now
>>743320870I consider all those disposable emulation devices to be the same thing essentially.
>>743320997They're really not, but whatever floats your boat
>>743321096I'm sure this next one coming out in 2 weeks is completely different.
>>743314904I am.Started NARC yesterday.It is mega jank but fun so far, very 200's
>>743321132Yeah, this one is going to make me like playing video games again.
>>743318619>snes and gbc Based
because they already remade the games I play
>>743315106CAR REAL BIG
>>743321218If you want some classic wigger entertainment I recommend 25-to-Life, 187 ride or die and 50 cent bulletproof. Otherwise you're just a wankster.
>>743321218>ps2 yakuzasnice
>>743321649187 is right there and i played the other 2 you mentioned.also 187 has a weird ass bug where the cutscenes audio are completely fucked.
>>743314904But I do play them...
>>743314904Because I'm not a zoomer, i played them in their time.
>>743314904It's called having taste. PS2 is where gaming became goyslop.
Why are zoomers so obsessed with the Playstation 2? It wasn't even their console and it was the proto-Wii shovelware shit machine.It's library is 98% fucking trash. Sure, it had some good games but Xbox and GameCubes flagship titles shit ALL OVER the best PS2 had to offer.The graphics were also terrible and the compressed audio was fucking atrocious. My friends memed me into getting a PS2 instead of an Xbox or GameCube and I actively regretted it for years afterwards.What the FUCK is wrong with (You)? Even the multiplats that made it to PS2 were easily the worst versions of the game available.I fucking hate you losers, you clearly weren't even there. The PS2 was an awful travesty.
>>743322759Your alternatives were Xbox which was really a halo machine and GameCube focused too much on first party games. Ps2 had everything else
>>743322759PS2 is worshiped in third world countries. Look up anything related to the homebrew scene and you'll get nothing but posts in inscrutable brown babble "languages"
>>743322861>Ps2 had everything elseLiteral Who garbage that literally no one but a deranged SEA would ever contemplate playing.
>>743322759ai/bot post
>>743320596I'll look into it. Thanks!>>743320768>The biggest problem is distribution.>It's a mature scene but there's not a strong central pillar distributing informationDude, absolutely. And again, it makes me feel gay to beg to be spoonfed, but all the research I did just kept leading me back to two OPL forks, neither of which wowed me.
>>743322980You don't have to sign your posts, CPU. Tell your handlers that your code is defective.
>>743315106I think I have that exact monitor in my attic right now. Also used to have those speakers.
>>743322759It had a built-in DVD player.
Man, the only GOOD PS2 game was Champions of Norrath.
>>743322957>>743322759you are trying to hard. tone it down a little and you are golden
>>743323927I'm being genuinely serious, Mexianon.
>>743323982sure you are kek
>>743324095Cope, brownoid.
>>743314904i'm playing ps1 games
PS2trannies really got Killzone and went "YUUUS DADDY SONY THANK YOU FOR THE SLOPPIEST OF SLOPPIES!!, YUMYUMYUMYUM YUMMY!!! MORE JANK OVERCOMPRESSED SLOPPIES PLEASE!"
>>743324352Yeah, I said this.
>>743324161haha
>>743324352Crazy thing is, they really did say that. Same as when Jak II released and was just GTA (an already shit game) for toddlers.
>>743314904The PlayStation 2 emulator is dogshit and runs like assfalkes on even top of the line systems. Most PS2 games have PC versions that work better anyways. Hell even the ps3 emulator runs better and is easier to use.
>>743314904I don't own a CRT and I'm not shelling out $100+ for a halfway decent upscaler
>>743315769Imagine not only being a good goy but DEFENDING being a good goy. New levels of cuck
>>743324703You vill buy ze $750 upscaler.
>>743322759you're wrong though lol. Also you're the brown one, sorry. Also probably a tranny too. I fucked you're mom also also.
>>743324703I can afford $100 for a half way decent upscaler because $100 isn't a lot of money at all
>>743314904Because I'm playing DOS games.
>>743324947You're gettin' REAL riled up there, brownstone. Maybe you should take an internet break for a while? I'm sure you'd save a few thousand precious pesos that way.
@743322759 (You)>Xbox and GameCubes flagship titles shit ALL OVER the best PS2 had to offer.Obvious bait or pure zoomer revisionism retardation
>>743314904What are some good lesser known ones? Preferably comfy ones I don't have to try very hard to play.
The cord broke for the controller. And the PS2 doesn't have and good games I haven't already played. Everything on the PS2 is worse for being on the PS2.I've bought every generation of PS but the PSP. Shouldn't have.Probably best to get a good handheld pc like the GPDwin5, or a good PC and a phone and moonlight. Any POS PC or phone is better than a console. You will use it more.I did have a significantly good experience with an original Xbox. I do recommend that. 360 wasn't bad. N64 probably too old. important emulators have visuals that look exactly like how they were then.But the PS2 is so shit it's worth getting angry over. It should not have existed.
>>743315890Being obsessed with consooming tech slop is a recipe for not enjoying vidya anon. That anon makes do with what he has and doesn't care because he actually plays games
>>7433195452's story is very overrated imo, and the gameplay is undoubtedly weaker than the other two.
>>743322759Every console library is mostly shovelware, this is the most pointless observation you could make. PS2 still had easily the best library of that generation>Xbox Had some great games, not as many as PS2 tho>GameCubelolz
>>743322759>It wasn't even their consoleNot true. PS2 was cheap by the time PS3 and X360 were coming out, and it was sometimes a better option for some families because of that. Also if any zoomer had an older brother then PS2 or even PS1 is a guarantee. Not everything is some strict generational divide.
>>743326762PCfag here who also owned all the 6th gen consoles. PS2 as hardware was indeed terrible, Xbox played the same games better. The PS2 controller is also atrocious and I don't understand how anyone except retarded toddlers tolerate it.
>>743324597Yeah yeah every game not on your tendie box is bad
>>743327789PS2 controller is miles better than Gamecube controller.Really only issue with PS2 games is they are all interlaced and look like dogshit on a modern display, in a way no 240p or 480p game does. We never noticed/cared because we played them on CRT
