Endless
You will die before you get to experience every good game on the ps2, even if you played 24/7.

Quite alot if you're into weeb shit and emulate for aesthetics, don't go the nostalgia route and play on the original it only hinders the game

considering I'm still finding good PS1 and 2 games I had not played, I'd say fucking eternity. Just to list some of my favorites:

PS1:

-Silent Hill
-Resident Evil 1-3
-MediEvil 1 & 2
-Final Fantasy VII-IX

-Spyro 1-3
-Dino Crisis 1-2
-Vagrant Story
-Metal Gear Solid

-G-Police games
-Oddworld -games
-Gex: Deep Cover Gecko
-Alundra

-Parasite Eve 1 & 2
-Crash Bandicoot 1-3
-Crash Team Racing

PS2:

-Silent Hill 2-4
-Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3
-Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII
-Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2
-Jak & Daxter -trilogy
-Ratchet & Clank -games
-Fatal Frame -games
-Forbidden Siren -games
-Psychonauts
-Ico
-Shadow Of the Colossus
-Okami
-Xenosaga
-ZOE
-Persona 3 & 4
-Other Shin Megami Tensei-games
-Cold Fear
-Gran Turismo 3 & 4
-GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas
-Shadow Of Memories
-Devil May Cry 1-3
-Disgaea -games
-Evil Dead: Fistful of boomstick

this. hell just save states and turbo mode make it worth it, so you can continue where you left right away instead of sitting through splash screens and loading screens, and speed up grinding in jrpg. plus points for being able to use any controller you want instead of paying bullshit prices for original ps2 dualshocks in good condition.

Shadow of the collosus looks fucking beautiful emulated

PS2 essentials:

games with cartoony artstyle look even better, kingdom hearts and dark cloud for example look real nice in higher render resolution.

Both Simpsons games for the ps2 are great.

>Sony didn't do backwards compability

Still mad

How do I easily hack my ps2?
Everywhere I look it seems really complicated and not that worth it.

You can't.
I've had my PS2 for 15 years waiting for an easy hack so I can finally play more than 3 games on the thing.
It's still all some crazy shit where you need a network adapter and hdd or you need a guy to make some special memory card for you.

look up fmcb
its really not complicated at all, you dont need to solder shit. couldn't be much more easy and there's plenty guides on psx-scene for example.

>posts worst GTA

mate i dont want to sound condescending but i think you suffer from learned helplessness. all you need to do is follow a guide, anyone can hack their ps2, you don't need any real technical skill for it.

FreeMC boot + run games off HDD / LAN cord.
Alternatively: 007 Nightfire swap-disc trick.

>you need a guy to make some special memory card for you
You just solder a modchip

Install a modchip my man.

Nah 3 was, SA had a good theme to it and had so many new additions

living in the early 2000s i see. its all software nowadays.

>>posts worst GTA
Come on now, son.

I remember reading somewhere that compatibility with some software methods is not 100% perfect. True?

>SA had a good theme to it and had so many new additions
Pointless RP bullshit that blurred the fuck out of the series' focus. And VC's theme is way better.

I'm not your "son", kiddo.

>tfw the place where I used to buy pirated ps2 games from is selling them at higher and higher prices everyday
It's not even legal they are mocking us what the fuck?

Yes, the cutscenes get fucked up because of USB 1.0.

you'd be better off with a first gen fat PS3

How can one list be so based? I would include Metal Arms: Glitch In The System, but the ps2 port is basically castrated. The frame rate and models are put through hell, and it lacks dynamic lighting. Besides low quality texture work, the Xbox and GameCube versions hold up extremely well.
>Oddworld
>Psychonauts
Goddamn were those great memories. Slog chases still make me tense. Milla's room in Psychonauts felt like real life creepypasta.

thought usb1 is only on the slim and phat got 2

>because of USB 1.0
What about network adapter + local network share or HDD?

SA is way better. The stats made the game much more cohesive and tied every element of the gameplay together in a neat way.
Vice city was fun but SA was just enormous with a ton of stuff to do forever.

>How can one list be so based?
no casual / dudebro shit.

>buy already hacked memory stick from ebay
>buy $15 dvd writer if you don't own one already
>buy $20 100 pack writable DVDs from newegg or whatever.
>get isos from archive.org/download/RedumpSonyPS2NTSCU
and
archive.org/download/RedumpSonyPS2NTSCUPart2


fucking easy man jsut make sure your PS2 model can use freemc, just google the sku model and freemc.

SA was just brown and boring sandbox with endless distractions.

7 years if it's just the cream

Where can I get full NTSC-J torrent?

>buy already hacked memory stick from ebay
>supporting scum who make money off non-profit projects made by other people

Fucking endless. If someone came to me and said ONE console. Im only allowed ONE ever and it has to give me gud VIDEO GAMES. It has to be her anons.

>associating role playing with a game's theme
There's a reason why the Zelda series doesn't feature SWAT rifles and tanks, a theme is detrimental to the environment, keeping characters consistent with others and making the plot make more sense. I also didn't say VC had a better theme because it did

Less than an Xbox unless you like playing trashy JRPGS.

suck my cock dude don't fucking come to me preaching you gay choirs while advocating piracy you fucking hypocrite

Yeah, good point. It's a little annoying how small the reference pool is with games.

The pre-Future Ratchet And Clank games are some of the best 3d platformers ever made, and extremely successful, but you'll never see them analyzed and dissected the way Mario 64 is.

It's not like they're overlooked gems or anything, but mainstream gaming culture is so vanilla. It's pointless to talk about how cancerous the gaming press is as well as "figureheads", but I swear everyone cites Ocarina Of Time as their big gaming memory. Nothing wrong with that, but I get the impression that casuals represent the industry and are either parroting popular opinions or just haven't experienced many games. For me, my biggest gaming experience was Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. But I never see that one get brought up, despite being the hack and slash game that aged the best. The graphics still hold up and the pacing is perfect.

It's really only on Sup Forums that I see people growing up on games like Jak And Daxter, despite how mainstream it is. Or even the Phantom Menace ps1 game, which is actually good. Better than the movie.

hello underage.

nice calling me underage surely showed me.
now try saying it without crying.

>no casual / dudebro shit.
yeah EA sports games never existed for the ps2

shit has no games, mostly ports shit and the multi platform games play better on other consoles or pc

It is this fucking hard

If you have a slim, check compatibility before.

you sound hurt.

i sure do

Do I need it if I have it chipped?

yeah u do, dont bother listening to these trolls their just trying to get u to brick ur ps2
just buy the games on ebay

>-Persona 3 & 4
>-Other Shin Megami Tensei-games
Fuck you.

If PS2 has modchip installed just burn iso games using imgburn or something like that.

Why would you need this if you already have a modchip?

This is just an alternate way of playing burned games.

What if I want to boot from usb?

mate how about you just google shit

Then it would be helpful, but you could use something like uLef launcher from a DVD.

It's been years since I don't fiddle with this so

What if I just like to talk to people for some reason?

pretty sad you have to make a thread on Sup Forums about hacking a ps2 just to talk to people

Fuck off matthewphimosis

not megatennis

That's what I do and every game has run perfectly so far

fmcb + network adapter + hdd = the goodness

But it's true, the last good Megami Tensei game was SMT: Nine and the last good Megami Ibunroku game was Devil Survivor.
