Welcome to Affro's Curiosities Season 8!
I love the PS2! I'm sure you folks do as well! Having had one since 2002, the device has now become a treasure trove of gaming heaven!
Couple that with mods such as the SD2PSX Memory Card Unit or modded games & even English translations, suddenly it's a great time to get into PS2 games.
But, one thing that saddens me is that many PS2 games will never see a re-release or a remaster for modern platforms!
I wanted to know, can we change this... Could PCSX2 be the answer? After all not only can we upscale games, we can even replace the textures to make them even higher quality for selected titles! Its called Texture Replacement in the menu.
Does it work? Can we improve the visuals on PCSX2 even further than what's possible already?
Stick around! The results are fascinating!
