So every few years i like to go back and play the Jak and Daxter series because it’s fun okay? And a couple years ago my tv had a whoopsie poopsie and I replaced it with the best damn tv three buttons and some pocket lint could get. And all it’s got on the back of it are damn hdmi connectors and satan’s coax. i got myself a nice cheap receiver a few years back i could plug everything else into and not worry, but the damn thing is not converting and refusing to convert Ye Olde Playstatione Twoe RCA Signale into Ye Newe Fangle Dangled HDMI Signale and i am not buying one more fucking piece of hardware to play a vidya game i have ownedd for two defuckingcades.
even my cat is worked up over this, it has nothing to do with the mean outside cat pissing in our yard this morning so even though nothing has changed, my playstation two has officially broken today and i guess i have to learn how to emulate that hardware on pc and not just my phone now godsdammit.
For Jak and Daxter there’s OpenGOAL which is basically a native fan port of the games for PC. Last I checked the third game still had some issues but the others were pretty much perfect.
Hey i’m not done pouting yet thanks dude

I just found out a out this a couple of days ago and it is amazing. The games look so good and are way more playable on my laptop with a native port than with an emulator. Trying to get the emulator to render was insanely hard with tonnes of characters having random black eyes or just not rendering their textures at all. The native port is beautiful and has so many improvements. Such a cool project.
What do you mean they haven’t finished part 3 yet what language I gotta teach myself to vibe code to finish this
It’s C++ and a bespoke Lisp language and AFAIK most of the remaining issues are graphics programming related, so good luck learning that.
Pouring one out for you brother
Just get the PS2 to HDMI converter and be done with it for a few more decades.
Get behind me, satan
I’ve been known to collect powercells on PCSX2. Ya know, when you’re done pouting.
that playstation was a big part of my life. it deserves a good pout
Indubitably
- Scotch broken PlayStation with some electrical tape on top a blank canvas and call it “_The problem with Western civilization”.
- Put it in an art gallery and sell it for a million dollars.
- With the money, treat yourself with a working PlayStation, get some nice gift for your wife too. And don’t forget my 15% commission.
- Say hi to your cat.
My pleasure ;)
A better businessman than Trump on a good day
my cat says “feed me this human is starving me please contact the hague”
That reminds me of the chipped slim PS2 buried in my garage that I need to list on Facebook marketplace.
does it have a hdmi port? edit: no my wife will kill me
Do it
i have to buy drapes first tho
Great series.
No. It’s just modded to play homebrew/ROM discs.
With texture replacements, emulating ps2 is really nice
I thus far have picked up six precursor orbs whilst and at the same time watching Twin Peaks and it was pretty great.
