  Just use an emulator, even PS3 emulation has gotten pretty good.

    But thats an emulator, yes 99.9% the same but not “real”.

      Pretty much all 3D PS2 games can be played in widescreen via emulation. They’re better than the original.

        Sorry 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.

  You 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

    This 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.

    Of course, but someday they will all be gone. I dread those days. Caps dont last and its very very hard to repair smc ones.
