<!-- I don't think hps2x64 even started running commercial games, plus it hasn't seen a commit for half a year, so it looks like a dead project and not worth mentioning. -->

External links

  • PCSX2 Wiki - For checking if your games work and any fixes, tweaks, or settings you should know beforehand. The wiki is very outdated and unfinished, so personal testing is usually a must.
  • PlayStation 2 DataCenter - Tons of PS2 related things. Emulator files like plugins, game manuals, game configurations, and many tutorials are just some of things you'll find here.
