I’ve been sinking further and further into the RetroDECK time-sink of setting up my emulators just so, and having the most fun doing so. The PS2 is a largely unknown system to me, I neither had one nor spent much time before now playing through some titles.

So…this is what I have so far! Most have either HD texture packs (Rule of Rose for example, and also Silent Hill 2 has a incredibly big 29GB of HD textures, I added after taking this screenshot), or mods applied (Gran Turismo is Spec II)

I haven’t got MGS3 there, as I’m waiting for the remake to arrive, but…

Can anyone suggest any titles which are ‘must adds’ for me? I’d appreciate it!

      You and I would have been friends in 2001. We’d have smoked some weed, and played that stoner game where hou create a story one word at a time…and somehow, that one word always ends up being “penis”.

      The PS2 version of Grandia 2 is the worst one, if I remeber correctly. Better emulate Dreamcast for that one.

          I only read it somewhere since I only played the game on PC way back.

          Supposedly, the PS2 version suffers from slowdown/FPS dips.

      You beat me to Red Faction, that was some of the most fun I had in middle/high school.
