What the fuck are your specs? PCSX2 runs like dogshit for me.

>not keeping your video games in the fridge

>>15356312

hello fellow goyim, I do love using (((Steam))) too! Digital is the way of the future, the only thing that might be even better is cloud streaming our games! No more of them taking that pesky HDD space right fellow gamer?

Probably Intel+Nvidia combo.

AMD is absolute dogshit on PCSX2 (both on the CPU and GPU) for different reasons.

PCSX2 is not greatly coded, and the devs don't like AMD.

>>15356649

Depends on the game, usually Intel processors make it work better regardless of GPU.

PCSX2's issues with AMD's implementation of OpenGL are very glaring.

ITT salty buttblasted fags from poor countries where they couldn't afford PS2s and had to play Chinese NES knockoffs or Brazilian Mega Drive

How do you keep your PS2 in great condition? I've bee noticing things not loading right at times from my burned discs, and want to keep it going for as long as possible so that I can keep enjoying Koei games. Only PS2 hardware can do the Warriors Xtreme Legends disc swaps.

you must be very proud op

you bought things and put them on a shelf

>Discs

enjoy your disc rot/laser error. No but seriously solid state or non drm digital is the way to go.

PAL PS2 spines always look so fucking bland, being white with black text of the same generic font. Already annoys me when coming across the occasional NTSC game that went with that, so I'd hate for the entire library to look like that. Granted, there's something to be said for cohesion, but there's a right and a wrong way to do it: rendering a game logo horizontally on white like the Wii saw works much better. Also something to be said about being able to immediately recognize particular games at a distance via spine background color too, but I suppose that's a different matter.

I'm fuckin jelly of you anons I don't have enough space to collect physical vidya. I used to have tons of ds game cases that I had to get rid of years ago and I regret it now. There is something really satisfying about having a giant well-ordered wall of vidya that is no longer present these days with most games being digital only.

>>15359823

How little space do you have that you can't manage to spare a few feet in width for shelves? I've got a fairly small bedroom, but enough space for a bed, table (being used as both desk and nightstand), cabinet-turned-TV-and-system-stand, and a pair of shelving units (actually three, but two are the same make and stack onto each other with dowels).

>>15359774

Far as I know PS2 was pretty popular down there, between prices being MUCH lower than PS3 was during seventh gen, as well as companies still making lots of SPOATS titles for it that could actually get local releases, or at least cheap imports. Not sure how much of the library overall they got locally though, but then again the PS2 could be modchipped or IDE'ed, and memory cards FreeMcBooted, so that doesn't necessarily mean they were even buying games for the systems.

>>15359864

I still have a small bit of room saved for the vidya stuff I got but I don't plan on staying in this place long enough to bother putting huge shelves anywhere so there's no point. Lots of it left in boxes in a closet but hey at least its still with me. When given a new chance I will hoard vidya-related stuff like a madman; cases, booklets, guides and anything else

>>15359931

>I still have a small bit of room saved for the vidya stuff I got but I don't plan on staying in this place long enough to bother putting huge shelves anywhere so there's no point.

My shelves aren't even big, the stacked pair are about one foot by four in terms of ground space taken, and the other standalone one is about one by one and half, each having six rows to hold all my stuff while still having a little room to grow. Room's a tad cramped overall, but has enough space to move through, and not having the shelves in the room honestly wouldn't change it too much.

>When given a new chance I will hoard vidya-related stuff like a madman; cases, booklets, guides and anything else

Fair enough, but try not to spend that much if you can help it (and there's no shame in also using modded systems or emulators for what you can't find, can't find at a reasonable price, didn't come to your region, needs fan patches to fix/add shit, etc), and only, and obviously, just go for what is of actual interest to you to play, rather than being a "full set" fag with an entire room for a single system's library, or buying shit just because it's hard to find. I'm just saying, even though it sounds like you probably are aware enough of how to handle things.

Oh, and good luck with trying to get complete copies of DS games at decent prices, the actually good ones without reprints, I mean. Gamestop trashed pretty much all their "extras" in rendering their preowned copies cart only years back, and while more lax about doing so now, they fucked the aftermarket up. Especially when it comes to games that were already hard to find as is. Though if you're fine with just printing your own covers, there's resources like TCP, but that doesn't help with getting manuals (obviously those would be more work).

>Shitposting in a video game collection thread

What fucking faggots you are.

>>15356282

How much of your collect would you say that you have actually played? How much of your collection have you played to the end?

>>15360151

>Implying collection threads don't tend to get shatpost to death from the get-go these days because ">buying games" and being seen as attention whoring/identity faggotry.

I'm just saying. There's a few reasons they've stopped being prevalent over the years here, same with buyfag/recent pickup threads.

>>15356319

>>15356284 is probably talking about an internal HDD on a fat PS2. Mine is 500GB.

>>15360811

>I bought that model second-handed, but the laser was partially defect already

My fat hasn't had any issues reading discs, but then again, I did get it as a refurbished model, so if it had any problems like that they were probably fixed before being sent back to sell.

>I know it's hard however to buy stuff from individuals without worrying of potential damages in the discs, and shit always happens (I received a scratched/dirty disc of Armored Core despite the description from the seller claiming it was in excellent state; got fully reimbursed at least)

Part of why if I have to get something preowned, I try to do so locally, since then I can inspect stuff first hand before dropping money, rather than trust a seller to be properly descriptive. Though, I guess in your case, if you don't live in Japan itself, you're stuck relying on online ordered imports, or what meager selection of already imported copies of stuff a local store might have.

Come to think, I remember the nip PS2 slim model I bought was also refurbished. The SPCH-70x model has also the advantage to use an external AC adapter that you can swap with an european model instead, which was a better alternative than the voltage converter.

Yeah I dont live in Japan. There are only a very few stores all around my country that sell imported stuff, but they tend to be way more expensive than ebay and else, often reaching scalper-tier prices.

>>15361122

Where I am, there's a variance of prices on Japanese imports at local stores. If it's a game on a system that was region locked, and requires knowledge on moon to enjoy, they tend to be somewhat cheap due to low demand base in the west (made smaller by them not having an online storefront). Games that are region free though, and enjoyable without needing to know moonrunes, can get up there a bit in price, though obviously general availability can effect that as well (something like E.X. Troopers is still only about $12 in spite of that, assuming you can find a copy without ordering online, but even then I think it's fairly cheap due to being a popular export title).

>>15360811

Mein Neger. It's the best version.

>>15361204

That's still the Japanese version, by the looks of it. Our PS1 spines out here in NA don't look like that, and as you can see from other games up there with English titles on the spines, that doesn't mean they came west.

Nice collection

all I have is undub ISOs of Persona 4 and Digital Devil Saga

and DDS doesn't run very well on my PS3 so I don't play it

>>15375476

Why are these not in a Roms/PS2 folder? Do you just have all of your downloads in one huge pile?
