Playing Games on PS2 Emulator

In an era when gadgets and devices are very capable of "destroying" various types of digital entertainment, emulators PS2 still has its own charm.

In fact, this phenomenon not only applies to senior gamers, but also to those who are part of a much younger generation.

But what is still rarely known is that not all games can be played smoothly via the PS2 emulator - regardless of the device's specs. This is because the emulator is not a native console.

Emulators are basically just “replicas” of a console’s system migrated to another ecosystem. So some games can still run smoothly, but some will lag.

Even so, with certain specifications, most games will still run smoothly via the PS2 emulator. So here VCGamers provides decent spec details:

  • Processor: 10th generation Intel Core i5 (Comet Lake) or equivalent;
  • GPU: RTX 30 series (8GB) or equivalent;
  • RAM: 8GB
  • Storage: 512GB internal SSD

Disclaimer: VCGamers never suggests using PS2 emulators as a form of piracy. It is highly recommended that you use them within legal limits.

5 Best Games for PS2 Emulator

Now let's go straight to the main topic, namely the five best games that are suitable for you to play on the PS2 emulator smoothly and without any interference.

The games parameters that VCGamers mentioned this time are PlayStation exclusives that do not have a desktop version. And here is a list of titles and their details:

5. Ace Combat

In the fifth entry, there is the best fighter simulation franchise: Ace Combat. And some of the series that ultimately defined the character of this title were PS2 exclusives!

Take Ace Combat: Belkan War for example, which is an upgrade from the Shattered Skies series and also Unsung War – no other series has a storyline as epic as that installation!

4. Guitar Hero

It seems that if there was no Guitar Hero on PS2, this franchise would not be as famous as it is today. This "concoction" of Harmonix (developer) and RedOctane (publisher) has proven to be a hit!

This title is what was able to echo the rhythm genre on home consoles. And with the right settings, all of its PS2 console series can be played smoothly on the emulator.

3. Metal Gear Solid

Hideo Kojima's masterpiece is indeed not to be forgotten for VCGamers to include. Especially for the Snake Eater series, the game received a very good reception!

So much so, Konami (as publisher and developer) even re-released this game on current consoles/platforms. Rather than having to buy it again, why not just play the old one?

2. Shin Megami Tensei: Persona

The Persona series (Shin Megami Tensei franchise) also got its name from its success on the PS2 platform. The critically acclaimed Persona 3 and 4 installations are just a few.

And like many successful old series, Atlus (publisher and developer) also does a common practice: re-releasing these titles with the “embellishment” of DLC/remake.

1. Best PS2 Emulator Gamer: Harvest Moon

Sure, the Back to Nature series on PS1 is the best. But the sequels on PS2 (such as Save the Homeland, A Wonderful Life, and Innocent Life) still deserve recognition.

This is because at that time, Marvelous and Natsume Inc. (developer and publisher) were still “harmonious”. So, you can really reminisce without having to buy the current console version, right?
