Today, I wanted to answer a question many of you asked on my PCSX2 Vs Real PS2 hardware video: Can the software rendering mode accurately replicate real PS2 graphics?

I wanted to test many, many games to try and answer the question! I tested games using 576i, 480i & 480p! I used PCSX2 V2.1.163 at the time of recording this episode! How does PCSX2 fare? Could it look better despite lacking any enhancements outside of overclocking the EE Cycle Rate?

Hope you enjoy the results!
