You should use a PS2 for PS2, not a PS3.

>>16759613

There's a good amount, retard.

What a low effort OP. You could at least try.

Wanna emulate PS2? Don't use PCSX2 1.4.0, it's old and outdated. Use SVN builds: https://buildbot.orphis.net/pcsx2/

Need PS2 bios files?

Need PS2 iso's?

Part 2: https://ia801604.us.archive.org/7/items/RedumpSonyPS2NTSCUPart2/

Playing on real hardware or planning to? Fat PS2 models are best, since loading games off of a massive SSD is the fastest and most compatible way to play PS2 games with FreeMcBoot. If you don't have a friend with a modded PS2 or some other way of getting FreeMcBoot to boot on your PS2, check around online for people selling pre-flashed memory cards with it already installed.

Why yes, I do need PS2 isos. Thank you.

I recently got cheap physical copies of DMC3SE, Ace Combat 04, and Digital Devil Saga. I've played them all before, but it'll be nice to see them on hardware, especially AC4, which I always felt emulated terribly no matter how many times it was "fixed".

>>16759466

>Should I download the DMC HD collection, or install every game individually?

I'd recommend the collection specifically for DMC1, and the PS2 version for DMC3. For whatever reason, DMC1's western version had a completely different control scheme to the Japanese release and no option to change it, but the Collection fixed it.

>>16759599

To be fair, in my experiences it's easier to dump PS2 ISOs onto a CFWed PS3 since you can just use a standard ftp and don't have to worry about using a specific installer program/drive/cords. Still, that assumes it's a properly PS2 backwards compatible PS3, and those can have their own issues in terms of longevity and/or incompatibilities (though even various PS2 models have issues with PS2 games).

>>16759779

Should mention that if one goes through the process of using a premade modpack when modding a PS2 drive, that should install uLaunchElf onto the drive, which is all you need to run a FreeMcBoot installer off a USB. So it's another option without needing to know someone with FreeMcBoot, or buy a preflashed card/pay for flashing services.

>>16759466

>I just finished hacking my PS3

Is that worth doing if you already have a PS2 for PS2 games? I don't really know anything about that generation.

>>16760984

If you have a backcompat PS3 it is worth it if you want to play PS2 games through HDMI and want to replace its internal hard drive to use SATA and not IDE. PS2 component is cheap though, so you can just stick to what you have.

>>16761180

rather, that the PS3's internal hdd uses SATA while the PS2 would just accept ide on its expansion bay

>>16761180

>PS2 component is cheap though

I already have it too. Isn't the backwards compatability imperfect though? Is it just emulation? I just wanted one for PS3 games, though maybe this is the wrong thread to ask about that.

>>16760729

Will that work with a thumb drive? I'll likely go the SSD route but just curious.

>>16761225

For the 20 and 60gb fat PS3s (or rather, the systems that originally used those drives, be that those are replaceable), those had the actual PS2 emotion engine cpu inside. They have hardware backwards compatibility, albeit I assume it's the equivalent of a later model PS2 than an earlier one (since even with the PS2 compatibility varies). The 80gb used software emulation for its backwards compatibility, and is thus more prone to glitches or outright not playing particular games. I want to say that with CFW Slims can access COBRA for emulation as well, but I haven't had experience with doing so myself. All PS3s are PS1 backwards compatible, but I've heard that compatibility can be iffy on a game to game basis (supposedly Legend of Legaia has a gamebreaking bug ran on PS3 vs PS2 and PS1, for example).

Playing DMC for the first time. Difficulty curve is a roller coaster, but it's fun. I sure hope to see what fun sequels it has :^). What games are worth trying in the Dynasty Warriors series, in terms of gameplay? Normally I go with release order but the torrent of sequels spells bad news.

>>16761286

If you mean can you put the installer on a thumbdrive and run it through the USB slot, sure, as long as you have access to uLE on internal drive. If you mean running games themselves via USB, technically you can (you can put loader apps on both the FMcBed card or the HDD, and you have freedom for what storage the loader looks for compatible data on), but you really shouldn't. USB1.0 is just too fucking slow to play games through compared to 2.0. Works fine for adding/updating small files though.

Also heard something about just storing game data on a computer and using ethernet to call it instead, but I haven't messed around with that, so take it with a grain of salt.

>>16761319

Yeah, I saw some info on the ethernet option too. You have any experience with hard modded PS2s? I was having a look at that modbo mod.

>>16761341

No, just softmodding. Works pretty good, aside from the fact that there's only one or two programs capable of interfacing with it once its set up (isos have to be installed, not simply copied over), and that the system's native PS1 mode isn't capable of reading from non-disc storage (thus no equivalent PS1 loader; you can use a version of POPS instead, but that's emulation).

>>16761389

I thought there was something about that, good to know. At least emulation is near problem free with PS1.

I used ps4 ps2 classics GUI to create a PKG file for ace combat 4 but the colour was completely fucked and everything outside of the (slideshow) fmvs were mostly black. So instead, I ran it on pcsx2. It's a blurry mess but plays fine. Is there a way to decrease the stick sensitivity? I'm having trouble lining up my brrrrrr shots.

>>16761503

There have been good games recently.

None of those would be in the list though.

>>16761503

>>rainbow six siege

multiplat

>>the cuck of us

shit 3rd person shooter cash grab

>>rust

shit fad game

>>uncharted 4

shit 3rd person shooter cash grab

>>god of war (2018)

shit

>>beyond two souls

shit

>>the last guardian

by far the biggest disappointment.

>>days gone by

never heard of it

>>oneshot

not only is it multiplat but its also another walking simulator that's only gimmick is deleting your save data and not letting you play the game again. That's not a game mechanic, that's a flaw in game design. Shit.

>>Bloodborne

we could argue that' its good, but its not a big deal if you've already played dark souls or sekiro. Its not that' special. You could technically skip some souls games because there are so many.

Nice list, faggot.

>>16761503

You may want to double check the URL.

This is not reddit.

>Need PS2 iso's?

Let's see if that shit will work for anyone, since it should be more recent than the ones on archive.

>What games are worth trying in the Dynasty Warriors series, in terms of gameplay?

For the PS2 ones I'm pretty sure anything up to 5 XL is a gradual improvement

6 is kinda shit, has a few good ideas but not really all that good compared to 5 or 7/8 and if you're gonna play it anyways go with the PC version it runs leagues better than any of the other provided it's not broken on your specific computer.

7/8 are faster, flashier and streamlined, might like it might not, PC with TL patch for 7 PS4 for 8 since the PC version has the atrocious 256x256 shadows from the PS3 version for some ungodly reason and they look so fucking shit it's unreal.

9 is absolute fucking trash

Empires isn't my cup of tea but if you want to build your own char that's where you should look

Dunno about strikeforce

Most spinoff play close to what the last mainline entry did at the time and some are quite nice if you're a fan of the specific franchise

>>16761532

Should have what you want regarding sensitivity and deadzones in the lilypad plugin config thing

Just highlight the binding and change it.

>>16761503

>>bloodborne

It's pretty good but really brought down by the fact that it runs like shit

>>rainbow six siege

Nope, whatever fun you might derive from it is massively counterbalanced by the fact that it's pozzed as hell and in the process of getting chinked on top of that.

>>the last of us

It's not as bad as some say, but it's still a far cry from the rest of Insomniac's catalog which is already overrated although by no means bad or even mediocre

>>rust

Nope, it's shit like the vast majority of games in the same genre and it's pozzed on top of that

>>uncharted 4

Shittiest among a franchise that's strictly made of games in the shittiest adventure genre aka on a rail platformers

>>god of war

This shit makes the worst of the OG God of War look like a fucking masterpiece, the fuck is wrong with you

>>beyond two souls

I thought you said videogames

>>oneshot

Meh, I don't like the genre in general so I can't truly judge but it still seems like fotm shit with meta garbage in it with some furshit appeal sprinkled on top.

>>the last guardian

Its a disappointing sequel at best

>>days gone by

Open world survival with crafting means it's automatically a shit game.

>>16759466

>want to play revenge of the sith after finishing fallen order

>can't be fucked to go emulate because whenever I tried it before the lightsabers and lighting were fucked

>ps2 controller is broken but ps2 is fine Thank god

>too poor too afford another controller for now

>>16761503

Bloodborne sure but the rest are trash

Hollowknight should be there somewhere at least. Fucking simpsons hit and run is a better game than most of those.

>>16759466

I have been playing dmc3 on and off for the last few months, on the few times that I am on my PS2. There's just something about it that stands out to other devil may cry games, despite it not having the improvements of the future installments.

>>16764695

is your PS2 freeMCbooted?

you can install drivers that make the console recognize PS3 and PS4 controllers through the USB ports

>>16759466

seem to always have Gran Turismo 3 in the ps2, should really play more of freak out though that game is too wierd to not love

>What PS2 game are you playing /v/?

Emulated Drakengard, the game is nowhere near as bad as people say it is, and i' playing with KB & M, dragon sections are surprisingly enjoyable for having an inverted camera and having WASD to aim, the music is superb too.
