Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations! - Lemmy.World

I’ve been sinking further and further into the RetroDECK time-sink of setting up my emulators just so, and having the most fun doing so. The PS2 is a largely unknown system to me, I neither had one nor spent much time before now playing through some titles. So…this is what I have so far! Most have either HD texture packs (Rule of Rose for example, and also Silent Hill 2 has a incredibly big 29GB of HD textures, I added after taking this screenshot), or mods applied (Gran Turismo is Spec II) I haven’t got MGS3 there, as I’m waiting for the remake to arrive, but… Can anyone suggest any titles which are ‘must adds’ for me? I’d appreciate it!

Gitaroo Man

A unique rhythm game with a phenomenal soundtrack.

Hell yes, Gitaroo Man is fucking dope… Had a friend in high school who was like obsessed with that game, he got really good. I tried it again recently on an emulator and holy shit it gets hard after a few levels.

Totally worth it to just play on easy mode to vibe with the music.

“U-1!! Catch!!”

I have distinct memories of my buddy completely demolishing the level with the skeletons who play their own bones like xylophones, on the hardest difficulty.

Great music
