Pretty cool, although if you have a Steam Deck, you can easily chuck them in there along with several other retro console titles. It was through SD I was finally able to play Rule of Rose and Haunting Ground since I missed out on them.

that’s true of pretty much anything and is always the real hardware vs emulation choice people make. some people just like real hardware. I like my games to look like how they always did, and to run exactly as they always did. Occasionally some emulated systems can approach that, but that’s absolutely not the case for ps2 emulation today sadly

I love emulation/Chinese handhelds, I don’t have a gaming PC, I can cope with the Steam Deck being gigantic as I have read it is comfy.
The only thing that stops me from getting one is that I’m in a tight position with the money right now, and probably when I get my stuff in order a Steam Deck 2 or pro would be already in the works 😅

Same, honestly. No PC atm, just my little RP2+, though my right stick is wiggly and R1 doesn’t work anymore. ;u; Considering getting the RP2S just because it fixes all the issues I have with the 2+, and it’s still super cheap. RP3+ doesn’t have magnetic hall sticks, and that’s huge for me.
Steam Deck would be sick, but it’s pricey as all hell. Maybe the price will go down if they release a 2 Steam 2 Deck.

I also picked up Haunting Ground on my SD after seeing Spnere Hunter’s video raving about it. Fantastic horror game for sure.

How many times does he need to say “real PS2 hardware”? We get it man.

Not the video obviously, but something!
ThankYouVeryMuch@kbin.social 1 year ago
I can't watch the video now. Was it or not? Honest question, not op btw
Pumpkinbot@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Name checks out.
demonsword@lemmy.world 1 year ago
you know, you could just have watched the video, the guy does a teardown of the hardware

Can do this on a decent phone (emulated) but yeah it’s still nice having a dedicated handheld and going for a Vita look is also a good move.
