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!

You and I would have been friends in 2001. We'd have smoked some weed, and played that stoner game where hou create a story one word at a time......and somehow, that one word always ends up being "penis".

Listen to this person and also play Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.

The PS2 version of Grandia 2 is the worst one, if I remeber correctly. Better emulate Dreamcast for that one.

What's wrong with it? I enjoyed playing it on PS2.

I only read it somewhere since I only played the game on PC way back.

Supposedly, the PS2 version suffers from slowdown/FPS dips.

Ah ok. I didn't notice if there was an issue when I was a kid playing it - too busy being enamoured with the battle system!

You beat me to Red Faction, that was some of the most fun I had in middle/high school.

Fuck yeah, making rocket tunnels connect from across the map.
