I remember playing this so much during the time when I had like 3-4 PS2 CDs in the initial days (the others were Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, Ben 10 Protector of Earth... I don't remember the other ones).

And after a lot of years I bought back a PS2 and it was so hard to get a hold of this game from where I am at a reasonable price. And what's worse was that it was terrible and somehow really intense to emulate.

I was surprised to come across this randomly as I was going through all those recomps recently.

Okay so what I like in here basically is.. really great performance (I mostly run this on my tablet and it runs at 144fps the whole time), it's got mods support within the app and supports most modern controllers that I've tried out. I reached out to the dev and they also seemed super into it and also shared pics of them playing the game as a child. Which was really sweet.

I'm just super excited and I hope people who played this game find this post. I didnt think this would be the game of all games that someone would've ported so early into this whole thing.

I was reading about the PS2 launch on Wikipedia and saw this. That’s pretty extreme. I wonder which launch titles he was so eager to play that he took his life for having to wait.

Visual error with SH2 through OPL, any way to fix it?

3 Upvotes

First thing first, no, this isn’t because the tv it’s broken, it’s just that SH2 is the only game to give me this image, Rule of Rose, Megaman X8 and SMT3 (games I have tried through OPL) didn’t have this ‘error’ and KH and DMC1 neither (only games I have tried with discs) so, Idk if it’s something with using a modern tv or a setting with opl

Any FMCB users? Some help needed with a now unformatted PS1 memcard

2 Upvotes

Two years ago, I picked up an FMCB memcard on Amazon and used its uLaunchElf to back up my PS1 memcard files via the file browser.

I've checked the old card again and it shows up as unformatted on the PS2 browser. Can still access its contents just fine via FMCB/LaunchElf.

Anyone got a tip for restoring the PS1 card back to working condition? I still have the savegames on my PC. They are all in an unnamed data format without file ending. PS1 emulator reads them just fine.

Getting a PS2 Slim for Christmas. Any game recommendations?

23 Upvotes

I'm getting a PS2 because I am sick and tired of modern AAA gaming nonsense. Day one patches, rising costs of hardware and games, microtransaction bs and AAA games taking 5-7 years to complete.

So I figured I'll get my first retro gaming console and the PS2 seems like a really good place to start.

I'm definitely going to get Devil May Cry, GoW 1 and 2, KH 1 and 2,FF X and the classic GTA trilogy. I love action rpgs and open world games with lots of cool bosses. I love the nightmare narrative in videogames. Any other recommendations? Mainly looking for games that are affordable since the retro market can be shit. PS1 recommendations are welcome of course!

ps2 demo disc memory need help identifying

8 Upvotes

Im trying to remember a ps2 demo disc from the early 2000’s. I was born in 1997 and I was young so my memory has faded. I remember (might have been 2004?) a demo disc for the ps2 being an underwater title menu that you could move around to different game demos. Pretty sure there was a shipwreck in the background on the sea floor. I vaguely remember a 3d Pac-Man game.

I also remember a ps1 demo disc (pretty sure it was a demo disc) like this one although if I remember correctly it was an amusement park and you could walk around in first person and play older classics like galaga.

If anyone knows the origins of either of these discs I would greatly appreciate putting my mind at rest. Not sure why it’s driving me crazy but I need to know!
