This is literally all you need to be happy

an old tv, rotting discs and an ancient console with shit zero QoL zero online features zero battle pass unplayable games?

>>718348542 (OP)
A hacked fat PS2 with a hard drive is better, as the games load faster.

>>718348542 (OP)
You're objectively better off with a PC, in any year since the MS-DOS. More games, better games, emulation.

>>718348897
>shit zero QoL
Explain to me what this even means.

>zero online features
Not even true, but that's a VERY good thing.

>zero battle pass
Extremely positive thing.

most of the ps2 library consists of shovelware 6/10 trash games, we are talking like thousands of them, the few 10-15 actually worthwile games that everyone knows (ff, silent hill, persona etc) have been ported, remade and remastered multiple times already, making the original versions obsolete, just like the console itself

>>718348984
OPL has so many issues it might as well be emulation. Slim loads faster than phat non-OPL PS2.

you had your time with it and you probably had fun (doubt), it's fine, no need to project your experience onto others
in 2025 this shit is obsolete

>>718348542 (OP)
how long can you realistically distract yourself with this? once you play through all the games what then?

literally hundreds and hundreds of games with issues. and those are just major issues that have been logged. Many hundreds more that require custom settings to run (mostly) correct

>>718348542 (OP)
I like the use of generic, clear crystal CD cases to keep the games in instead of busted up PS2 cases.

I wish Amazon or Google or some corporation takes advantage of current game fatigue to create something simple like the PS2. Imagine playing lo-fi but quality games with something like a Fire Stick. I know Amazon has Luna, but PS2/Dreamcast-tier games don't need to be streamed damn it. Sega needs to partner with Amazon to bring exclusive games to their app store or something.

Lol, 95% of the problems listed there are Slim poorfags trying to use a 360 controller or run games off of a slow ass USB.

As long as you have the bare minimum of a hard drive, controller, and memory card, most games work absolutely fine.

A massive redpill is that gaming on original hardware keeps you off the Internet, that's why emulators suck because it's easier to tab out and just go back to scrolling and F5'ing

I regret selling my PS3 to my uncle. Weeks later, I discovered that he had hacked it with software and was playing games from an external hard drive.
Note: I had seen the serial number and was sure it couldn't be hacked.

Buno

What do I need to mod a slim like the one in OP? Won’t read discs anymore.

>>718364660
fat ps2 is better for playing games. slim can only do through an smb server, everything else is laggy shit

PS2 is third worlder slop. I'll take any console released prior over it anyday.

the more I think about, the more I realize that alt right chuds are just stunted adult manchildren with daddy issues.

i've got a ps2 arriving tomorrow and i'm gonna put OPL on a memory card and hook it up to my CRT. what games should i download

>>718367930
Outrun 2006
Katamari Damacy
Ape Escape 3

>>718348897
You can use it to watch dvd's you dont need online

>>718349212
The optimal combo is PC and PS2 so I can download ISOs to play on it.

>>718368028

yes, that was one of the games i was thinking of(you know why)

>>718348897

gave yourself away 3rd worlder. Most people don't use their games as toilet paper. I have music CDs from the early 90s that run like brand new. All my games and movies work fine you fucking faggot.

You say that as if it'sa good thing. It's the fucking original hardware, "most" working is hundreds of games that don't work well, and even hundreds more with minor problems

Might as well emulate at that point

Fuck OPL. Use FreeDVDBoot.

>>718371831
every single game works flawlessly youre a gay spastic who didn’t even read the shit closet he linked

>>718371985
That's only a small sample of games tested and there are still hundreds of games with issues.

Most of those issues aren't for old versions.

Every variation of OPL has its own set of inaccuracies and issues

>>718372025

Take your pick. HDD is obviously better, but still many games that don't work at all, and tons nore with minor timing issues or other inaccuracies.

Might as well emulate at that point.

>>718354202
Present day corps are incapable of producing something that isn't cloud-based and doesn't harvest 100% of your data. Maybe in 10 years after the economy collapses, assuming we still have computers.

I have discs older than you in pristine condition.

Naw. Needs a dance pad for DDR.

>>718372994
Most of the issues are undocumented timing issues, the overall documentation is poor. Plus many of them require patches and tinkering, completely missing the pick up and play appeal of consoles. The compatibility is worse than PCSX2.

At that point just emulate, you've missed the whole point of OG hardware. Plus, any game you buy is pretty much just going to go up in value if you ever sell it at a later date, effectively making them free or better.

>>718348897
Fpbp
>they hated him because he told the truth.

>>718374029
so what are these games that have timing issues? what are these games that require patches? i've never had to do any of this shit. you're just babbling nonsense dude

>no cases

>low quality CRT
>Disgusting room
No thank you

>>718374342
You can read the compatibility lists that you ignored earlier.

People claim the shit about every emulator, how it works so perfectly, but they still have tons of compatibility issues, even if most games work well enough.

If you don't have standards and don't care, then that's fine, but it's glorified emulation at that point with how many issues persist and all the hacky fixes you have to implement.

>>718374862
>You can read the compatibility lists that you ignored earlier.
your compatibility lists don't say anything. the most updated one is ps2-home and every issue is about saving to a VMC or fmv issues playing from a USB which everyone says to not do, nothing at all do with their compatibility playing from a hard drive. you're a retard

>>718375312
HDD is still only around 98% compatible and that's not even including minor inaccuracies and timing issues, much of it not even documented properly.

PCSX2 meanwhile is 99% for reference.

>>718353158
You need to fiddle with compatibility options for some games to even run.
It was maddening to figure out what has happened with the first timesplitters when the first time I launched the game it worked like a charm, but after that it always looked like it was improperly deinterlaced.

>>718375594
>Minor inaccuracies and timing issues
Not for HDD

>>718375594
>HDD is still only around 98% compatible
source?
>PCSX2 meanwhile is 99% for reference.
ok cool? i don't remember saying don't emulate you faggot weirdo

>>718375758
IBM PCs with MS-DOS were also lacking behind other PCs during the 80s. Even the C64 has better versions of many games.

>>718375867
when did you last play? no even joking, I did a full 100% playthrough of TimeSplitters 1 a week ago and didn't have to configure anything.

>>718375952
5-6 months ago, I think. In the end I managed to find the thread on the OPL forums where the guy was having the same issues as myself and he posted a solution.

>>718375952
>>718375952
>but after that it always looked like it was improperly deinterlaced.
never mind, i didn't read all of your post.
i did actually have this issue but it wasn't every time i started the game and resetting usually fixed it.
>>718376145
what was the solution? cause like i said above, resetting the game a few fixed it only sometimes. i sometime had to reboot the ps2 3-4 times before the game didnt look like shit lol

>>718376216
The funny thing is that timesplitters has a slim chance to actually start up properly, and that's something that really took me off guard, when I was trying to figure out what was going on, because for me it only did tso the first time I played the game.
Compatibility mode 6 in the game options in OPL will fix the issue, but you wont be able to reset your PS2 by pressing start + select + shoulder buttons.

>>718376476
>when I was trying to figure out what was going on, because for me it only did tso the first time I played the game.
yeah that's weird. i have mode 6 off and i just booted the game up 5 times trying to get the shitty graphics mode, but it was normal every time. but before that shit would happen over and over lol
>Compatibility mode 6 in the game options in OPL will fix the issue
good to know, thank you. i wonder if the same issues persists in 2 and FP

true it makes me happy

>>718348542 (OP)
Kek no. Not having gamecube games would be shit
