Comment on PlayStation keeps reminding us why digital ownership sucks
Pohl@lemmy.world 11 months agoWhat good would a backup do for a game that requires specialty hardware to run. I still have my ps2 games. I just can’t play them.
I still have my cod1 pc disks, they just don’t do anything.
What is the backup for?

You can play them on an emulator. You can even connect a Dualshock 3 controller to your PC, and it’ll be just like playing on the “specialty hardware” it was made for.

Is PS2 emulation that accurate now?
Blackmist@feddit.uk 11 months ago
Yeah, same with Gamecube (via Dolphin).
PS3 emulation has a way to go yet.
HKayn@dormi.zone 11 months ago
It is for me. Has it not been accurate enough for your use?

I hadn’t had a capable enough machine to do PS2 emulation smoothly until I also didn’t have enough time to spend time playing them, lol
I’ve fixed the computer issue, and I’ll be fixing the time issue soon! Lol

Yes.

Holy crap. That’s a huge milestone!
I remember when PS1 emulation was still spotty…
