A few days back I shared a post asking for suggestions on what PS2 games people here might recommend I play. Having not been one who played PS2 at any stage (it was a bit before my time), my experience with the systems and games is slightly limited.
What I did love though, was seeing how many here shared games they clearly loved, and who spent so long convincing me that what they recommended would be the perfect game. One thing I’ve learned…all of you in this community love the PS2!
Anyway, the only PS2 games I have played through have all been through PCSX2 - the ubiquitous and decades-old PlayStation 2 emulator. I’ve bumped the resolution, I’ve activated RetroAchievements, and I’ve applied HD texture packs. Each time I’m shocked at how amazing the games are, despite their age.
So, while I was setting my collection of games up I thought it might be nice to reach out to the PCSX2 team and ask if anyone wanted to chat about their experiences in creating and maintaining the emulator! Two of the devs (fobes and GovanifY) said they’d be more than happy to, and so I’ve got a little interview with them to share with you :)
It should be back up now! A bit of a traffic issue, all fixed :)
