These things are so abundant that there's not much need for wishing - you could probably grab one off kijiji for a pittance. And the games go for pretty cheap too.Anybody wish they had a PlayStation 2
#JustSSOThings(Used Prestige for scale.)
Unless you're going for a 100% authentic experience, emulation is usually the best option.
I think I have a copy of that here somewhere, and a ps2 slim lolAnybody wish they had a PlayStation 2 and played ATV Off Road Fury?
That was a classic that I would play for hours after school in the early 2000s.

Yeah and emulation can be 99% authentic with the right settings too. I mean, you just turn off all the enhancements and it's basically done.
I also have a modded PS2 (actually just a memory card with the mcboot thing or whatever it's called on it) because PS2 emulation was too demanding for my PC back then, but I never really ended up playing anything on it. And these days I think my phone can pretty much run PS2 games
Also a lot of the old legendary games are available on the PS/Xbox stores to play on modern consoles, for example the Kotor games are directly playable on Xbox Series X. Unfortunately it's so authentic, it even has all the bugs (I couldn't be bothered finishing those games because they keep crashing and losing progress...).
I've played Majora's Mask 100 times already, but I'd play it again in this recomp way. I tried it out a while back when it was first hitting news sites and it's fantastic.
Yes - with some enhancements. It's re-compiled so that it's running natively, with, if I understand correctly, the graphics calls translated into the equivalent opengl or directx or whatever. So it's not emulated, it's running as if it was build for PC to begin with. Which makes it fast. And smooth. And able to be modded, played in widescreen, or in 4k, etc etc.Is it recompiling the code as an exe?
Same, haha. I've always liked succinct lists like this, even if we have nothing (or very little, in our case!) in common!Oh, I like those lists that nobody reads.
So, basically, this is going to be #2974093048 in the list of "awesome things that Nintendo completely obliterates through savage legal threats." I just don't get why anyone ever even tries to do this with Nintendo games given the entire history of people working on any kind of project like this. I hope it comes out before it happens so we can get it, but the creators had better be preparing to rinse their hands of this when Nintendo comes knocking.Yes - with some enhancements.
