minus-squarezaphod@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·4 天前Just use an emulator, even PS3 emulation has gotten pretty good.

minus-squaresamus12345@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·4 天前Pretty much all 3D PS2 games can be played in widescreen via emulation. They’re better than the original.

minus-squaresamus12345@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·3 天前You can still play on a CRT in 4:3 via an emulator if you like. You just have more options if wanted. I know there are many who swear by original hardware only, though, which is fine if you have the luxury of obtaining and maintaining them. Many don’t.
minus-squareTORFdot0@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·4 天前You can buy a used PS2 right now that has that for way less? Even if you demand an hdmi mod, it’s way less than that
minus-squaredejected_warp_core@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 天前This is the way to go. Make sure to get the drive serviced so it doesn’t crap out prematurely. There are so many PS2s out there, you can probably still get one cheap.
minus-squarebridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 天前Of course, but someday they will all be gone. I dread those days. Caps dont last and its very very hard to repair smc ones.
