Standalone PS2 Emulator now available for Series X/S [Retail]

[wwm0nkey]

Yes I am aware RetroArch has one already but this port is done by the Duckstation dev, the one who RetroArch kept on trying to screw over. This version will also end up being better than the one on RA in the very near future, so a good idea to keep an eye on it. Also a reminder to use Duckstation over RA for PS emulation as well.

I mean how do you even install it?

 

[RockmanBN]

Does it play the Jak games better than what Sony's emulator can do? Lmao that'd be funny and sad.

 

[GamerJM]

Can these PS2 emulators read PS2 discs on the Series X?

 

[squeakywheel]

Sweet. Thank you emu authors and fuck RetroArch.

DuckStation is absolutely ideal for PS1 titles all the way back to launch Xbox One systems, so I'm hoping this is in the same ballpark.

If it's the same core as the retroarch one, it does! lol

Oh fantastic.

Duckstation is AMAZING on Xbox so high hopes for this!

Would you mind elaborating on this part?

Booting up my Series X now. I sorely need a Series S dedicated for this.

The RA cores will become outdated compared to this very fast since one of the main PCSX2 devs is working directly on this XB port

 

[Rowsdower]

We can talk about emulators freely right? If so, how do you use them on Xbox? I had a developer account but that got shut down by MS before I installed anything (lack of free time).

 

[cw_sasuke]

Interesting timing for sure xD

I forgot PS2 emulation was possible on Xbox. If it weren't for dev mode I'd be in on it. Hopefully they can get rid of the long wait between dev mode and regular mode

This is literally talking about retail mode and not needing dev mode though lol

You don't need Dev mode to use it.

All of these emulators are available in Retail Mode.

I was just gonna ask if dev mode was required with those repos. Thanks!

Oh shieeet. That's fucking sweet. This is just what I needed. I hate recording captures from my PS2 so this will be a godsend

 

[The Lord of Cereal]

Nice. Recently had a hankering to replay Mark of Kri after finding that at a local thrift store. Looking forward to this even if it'll feel blasphemous on an Xbox

Do the ROMS have to be on the xbox itself? Not an External? I have an HTPC with all my PS2 games ripped to but I would not be able to fit that on the Xbox.

 

[digitalrelic]

Holy shit, I'm very excited for this! PCSX2 was the only emulator in Retroarch on my Xbox that had some weird performance/reliability issues.

I mean how do you even install it?

Click to shrink...

You go to the website from your Xbox and install it lol.

And yes, it's wild. And amazing.

They can be on an external USB drive or I believe even a NAS/network share drive (but I'm not 100% on that).

If anyone tries Gradius V please post up how it runs.

How does this compare to PCSX2? Would love to use this if as good in another room. Then I would have an HTPC, PS3 and Xbox to play PS2 games in the house. lol

Wish we could get more stand alone emulators. Retroarch just fucks up over time for me on XSX.

 

[TheRightDeal]

Seems like this might be gone now, the xbox retail emulation people didn't get permission from the dev to distribute it this early.

Holy shit. I will need to download this right away!

EDIT: Nevermind. Looks like I may be late based on previous posts.

Just a very wip taken from stenzeks GitHub repo. Wait until it's ready.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

So is the PCSX2 team mad about Stenzek's Xbox fork existing or are they just mad at Gamr13 on Stenzek's behalf because he put it up without Stenzek's permission? Or is Stenzek an official member of the PCSX2 team?

 

[Slayven]

can you play the monsster rancer games on it?
