    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.

        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 I remember using it years ago and how difficult it was to configure it, but now it runs like silk even on outdated hardware like my PC, I don’t know what black magic the team behind it did.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.

        • Yakuza
        • The Simpsons Hit & Run

        • Soul Calibur 3
        • Lego Batman

          Have you played Raw Danger? It’s one of the best PS2 games. It’s so… PS2 era. I love it so much.

              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.
