I was able to revive my old PlayStation 2 thanks to Hacks and Homebrew and I’m replaying several games from my childhood apart from playing several others that I couldn’t at the time, and I’m having a wonderful time.
Yusssss! I’m going through Psychonauts right now as well, LOVE the game! I don’t have a place for my CRT TV right now, so I’m on a computer for that one.
I REALLY wanna bust out my CRT and PS2 and Afterhurner and play some DDR Extreme sooooo badly
Ooo I’d love a bigger one. I think mine is 21” or so. I miss the 27” I had growing up! But this one is a flat CRT, had component and S-Video cables, and has a DVD player built in so I can watch my DVD of Not4Sale: TV Sheriff and the Trailbuddies. So I’m not complaining.
Hell ya, got deep into the wii / wii u homebrew stuff for a while. I completely missed the PS2 and really that whole generation of gaming growing up. What are you playing?
Pcsx2 is the best it can be nowadays. I remember using it years ago and how difficult it was to configure it, but now it runs like silk even on outdated hardware like my PC, I don’t know what black magic the team behind it did.
After the original hardware, pcsx2 it’s the best option to play the Ps2 gems.

I’m interested in knowing the titles you’re playing, if you care to list them.
Oh the list of all the games is veeeeery looooong, like 70 games, but my current favorite that I couldn’t play in the day are:
While some that I’m replaying because they are really REALLY good are:
Soul Calibur 3!!! Yeah!!!
Have you played Raw Danger? It’s one of the best PS2 games. It’s so… PS2 era. I love it so much.
Its in my play-list! I may play it next after I finish Psychonauts.

Ahh. I wish I had a crt and a place to put it. I want the one I had as a kid and a second really big nice one.

I discovered pcsx2 (ps2 emulator) a week ago and have been playing granturismo 4, so happy!

To me it seems like it’s THE best option to play ps2 games. Can run them at a bigger resolution and saving states can be used as a little cheat
You can do the same in the original console with Homebrew apps.
I don’t think GSM changes the render resolution of the game, but only the output resolution.
At least that was my experience when I tried it last over a decade ago.
