minus-squarebridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agoImagine if you will, they released a new ps2 with ps1 backward compatibility and optional discs. I’d pay $500 right now.
minus-squarezaphod@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·1 day agoJust use an emulator, even PS3 emulation has gotten pretty good.
minus-squarebridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoBut thats an emulator, yes 99.9% the same but not “real”.
minus-squaresamus12345@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agoPretty much all 3D PS2 games can be played in widescreen via emulation. They’re better than the original.
minus-squarebridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 day agoSorry boss, I only play mine on a CRT in 4:3 the way it was intended 😁 Playing on emulator is fine, but like everything in today’s world, its fake, and not as visceral of an experience.
minus-squaresamus12345@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-21 day agoYou 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-up4·1 day agoYou 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-up2·1 day agoThis 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-up1·1 day agoOf course, but someday they will all be gone. I dread those days. Caps dont last and its very very hard to repair smc ones.
