Holy shit, PC ports of PS2 games are happening. post your wishlists

I wonder how they got around all the EE fuckery

Atleast bother posting the source:
timeextension.com/news/2025/04/a-new-recompilation-tool-is-being-developed-to-enable-native-pc-ports-of-ps2-games

Also

at 8%, 5 months ago

Yeah no, i'll stick to PCSX2

in development

th-thanks. even once the tool is done it will take months for the actual ports, and then even longer for any worthwhile mods or online support or whatever

console fats have to pay monthly subscription to play retro shit

LMAO

ARMORED CORE REMASTER OR REMAKE PLEASE JUST PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GIVE ME THAT FRANCHISE ON PC

what about the ratchet and clank collection for ps3? you can play that on rpcs3

holy shit persona 4 on pc

Oh yeah, we're so back.

It's kinda nothing, and it's barely possible considering how the emotion engine works

Why are all these decompiler projects happening suddenly?

All we really need now is a universal shader program free from Retroarch so you can play these games with a decent shader.

Burnout 3
Burnout Revenge

I'd rather just do the original.

That's great if it happens, not holding my breath though.
I thought games had to be decompiled by hand one at a time.
I'd gladly take Tales of the Abyss though.

Gran Turismo 4 and MGS4

FUCK YES! SUPER MARIO ON PC!

and VCL Motor Mayhem

This
And Gran Turismo 4

an easier way to play metal gear online would be cool for party Anon Babblean nights
I guess this is also a roundabout way to get space channel 5 on PC too

who cares, you can already play pretty much every ps2 game on a potato pc. I want OG xbox ports.

Hope this pans out.

Okay? You can emulate most ps2 games now no issue.

input lag is a huge issue. if you can't feel it you're retarded.

recompilation tool

Just call it an emulator lmao

like what nintendo is doing on the switch 2 lol

Share links or Get The Fuck Out.

I fucking wish. Put those faggots in a containment board so then actual enthusiasts can talk about games here. It will never happen though

didnt they do this for xbox? hows that one coming along?

Xenosaga since Bamco seems hellbent on never doing a remaster

ENTER

Hey remember last year when we were supposed to get N64 PC ports at the press of a button and nothing came of it.

Oh Good now faggots who can't get passed the fact that no one reads websites anymore is going to talk about BlueSky Faggot. Great.

Britbong reporter

Dropped like a corpse.

This one

I'm trying to think what games I really liked back on PS2 and this is what comes to mind:
The GTA games (have pc versions)
MGS2 and MGS3 (have steam remasters)
The Jak and Daxter games (I think 1 and 2 have fan made PC versions currently so I assume they are working on 3)
The Devil May Cry games (have steam remasters)
Final Fantasy 10 (has a steam remaster but the faces look better in ps2 version)
The Legacy of Kain games (I think they have pc versions but they might be shit)
The Silent Hill games (I think these have pc versions?)
Primal
Shadow of Memories
Resident Evil Outbreak

A reminder that this doesn't "easy mode" ports. It still takes an autist close to a full year of plinking away at it to make the code usable, especially if there's no symbols handy (which it isn't 95% of the time) to know wtf the functions and parameters are for off the bat.

You just hate pc gaming and are making up excuses for it.

Fuck OP you could've just posted the Github page yourself. How fucking lazy are you?
github.com/njoaco/psretrox

The source code leaked for that years ago.

Did anything even happen with the 360 recompilation tool after the Unleashed PC port?

Oh? I though pc already had every game?

not yet to my knowledge but it's a pretty short list of games trapped on 360 anyways

Dropped because of the nationality of the messenger and not the developer

and no commits in half a year

Wow, what a whole lotta nothing.

star fox 64 is ported. shit like DK and banjo are still being worked on
I think the zelda, perfect dark, and mario ports were made independently of that decomp tool but I'm not sure

None of those were from using the recomp project, those are traditional decomps that have been in the works for many months/years.

one argentinian guy worked on it for 3 whole days

last updated 5 months ago

0% progress on making any of the recompiled c++ run

i wouldn't hold my breath

Get excited for 5 months of work!

Fuck man "journos" are really scraping at the bottom of the barrel now. ha ha ha.
I guess if I made a github account and started a fake project with a slather of Python these fuckers would "ZOMG it's a new X software to unlock Y console! REEEE!" and I'd get free coverage by some dipshit in BlueFag and then on the home page of a Britbong website. ha ha ha

some spic is working on it

It's not coming out

remake

kys americuck

I guess you didn't hear the news my nigga: but the sun literally set on the Bri'ish empire. They ain't got shit: no money, no credibility, just hookahz, hoes, skanks, an pale basic white bitches. They write more journo about bullshit than here in Amerika muh nigga!

Will goldenfags finally shut up forever?
We can only hope.

No. Tendies and coomers do.

This has been possible for N64 for a while and there's been nothing other than Zelda and Mario.

Time Splitters 2 with mouse + keyboard + multiplayer support

Twisted Metal Black with a camera fix

Sly Series uncapped

oh fuck yeah

-Twisted metal games
-Front mission games
-Silent hill games
-Gran Turismo 4
-Dragon Quest VIII
-R-Type Final
-Driv3r fixed
-Ace combat games
-Rayman Games
-Need for speed games
-Maximo Games

time splitters 2 can already be played with a mouse and keyboard
it actually works pretty good because they did something different with the aiming mechanics in that game

kys consoleturd you people are pathetic

Magic Pengel chads rise up.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2

It's a completely different game to the PC version and one of the absolute best NFS games ever made.

iirc Jak and Daxter already got a native PC port as well.

Well I hope it goes better than the N64 one, because they've done fuck all with that.

Revenge on the PS2

Yuck

quickpill me on what this mean
does it make recompilations actually fast and possible or do games still have to be decompiled for this to be possible? You heard similar stuff around the time the Majora's Mask recompilation dropped but since then, it's not like a bunch of other N64 recompilations have dropped, I'm still waiting for WaveRace64

FFX, PC port models are absolute slop

Wow, Shadow of the Colossus is going to be playable at last?

Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks here we goooo

Why not PS3 tho? PCSX2 works fine.

GTA Vice City Stories
GTA Liberty City Stories
Black
James Bond 007: From Russia with Love
James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing
Jak II
Jak 3
Crash Bandicoot games
Killzone

Anything else worth playing from the PS2?

...this isn't already a thing?

Smackdown Here Comes The Pain

Smugglers Run please

Jak II

Jak 3

already decompiled and playable on pc

Seaman 2

all that's yours will belong to us, most does already in fact, it's inevitable

This

SOTC they are working on it but i guess thisll allow ALL games not have to do it on a game by game basis

No, not really. And you do realize emulators have options, right?

Summoner 2

Drakan: The Ancient Gates

These games always belonged on PC anyway

When you make emulation illegal, you make recompilation inevitable.

Retards ignore the fact that the only recompiled game to this day is Majora's Mask(previously decompiled) and fucking Sonic where autists decompiled the graphic part

It does but emulation requires braincells which a lot of people don't have. the average federal employee cant even open adobe reader its bad my guy.

Yea, it really is, you dismissive fuckwit. There's a billion other advantages to this too, like unlocked native framerate and resolution, the option for perfect mouse input (especially a boon for shooters), genuine antialiasing options instead of shaders that affect everything like UI elements and many more.

significantly more difficult decomps when the N64 already stalled out after a few games

Hopefully God Hand is the proof of concept before it all slides into obscurity.

nothing happened with the n64 decomp tool

nothing happened with the x360 decomp tool

sure this time guyze!!

nobody cares but PCfags. You never stop jacking yourselves off about getting busted console ports like it's some kind of win and it's fucking retarded.

...does it have a PC emulation? I'd play it right now, had some great voice actors if I remember

but you can play it modded with HD textures on PCXS2 and runs perfect even on mobile bro

They ported the whole engine so eventually Jak 2, 3, and Combat Racing too.

nobody cares

but I must reply again

Fuck off consoletard.

i was excited for a guy doing a recompilation of sotn some months ago. the other day i remember him and proceed to look him in youtube but he's nowhere to be found. i cant even find his streams. its like he never existed.

All your base are belong to us

Cope and cry about it.

the hoops that need to be jumped through to get away from pcsx2 which is STILL bad as of nightlies on 2024-04-07

meant 2025 but let's be honest i could write 202X and it would still be accurate for the remaining numbers

why u hate pcxs2? ive been playing on it and its great

Patrician taste. Add shattered skies and the unsung war to the list.

plz... i need it...

I just want Crash Team Racing with GOOD online MP. That's it. CTRNF was ruined by shitty connections, really should have just had dedicated servers.

who cares, PS2 emulation is already great

playing urban reign with old friends again(but now everyone has his own pc) would be fun.

is the duckstation online not good? never tried it but I thought it was good

I wish someone had made a port by now with that source code that got leaked last year

duckstation is utter shit and the fact that people online tout it as being good is fucked up

PS2

valuable games

pick one

retard.

it is, but at least using it let's you avoid the unholy abomination that is retroarch

(You)

What's the reason that we got perfect rollback netcode on most 2D systems up to PS and nothing newer?

A heckin valid Nintendo Switch 2 thread died for this, and you failed to prevent it. Now you'll live with the shame for the rest of your life.

Jack yarwood

Based racist!

i have a fat ps3 and the games already physical edition
any remakes or reboots will be woke and ruined and less quality/ censored ala dead rising remake or dead space

god hand
drakengard
shadow of the colossus
gran turismo
ssx
ace combat zero

I would love this, especially if they fixed the shotgun having no firing sounds. I will never not be disappointed by that, but the game was otherwise amazing

OH MY GOD NEW RECOMP TOOL IMAGINE THE 10000 PORTS WE'LL GET

fast forward a year

little to nothing to show for it

You niggers do this every time.
Still waiting for N64 recomps that aren't Majora or Goemon btw

Pic rel's game

What the makes any of you niggers think it will be as good as current emulation?

you can change basic things like LOD models, draw distance, resolution, and framerate significantly easier than patches/cheats on emulators

this

People have been able to make PC ports of PS2 games for ages yet only Jak 1, 2 and 3 have gotten PC ports because nobody else can be bothered or cares enough to give ancient games ports.

Sounds retarded. N64 games all need remakes because the first generation 3d controller was completely garbage compared to dual analogs. Meanwhile PS2 games look better with emulation than 20GB larger ports done by the zombie husk of their original company.

I'm enraged that Jakuck got ports instead of Ratchet & Kino

It's a win against you

Or what?

My nigga

will mod the living fuck out of pic rel

Demolition girl
I just think they're neat

3 was just straight better in all ways, and 2 had more content but is obviously worse. 4 is filled with garbage races that all require buying the exact car used for them.
I thought Forza basically took over but looking at Horizon; what a piece of shit that is. Just drive full speed through obstacles no fucks given.

Reminder that making the PC ports takes effort, 99% of people are not going to do this shit for free and won't waste their time with it.

just give me the original Yakuza 2 and 2 games and im good

post your wishlists

Ratchet and Clank

Yeah but Sonic Unleashed thoughbeit. Nobody liked it outside of a few autistic furfags.

Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge

They either need to do it for free or find someone else willing to pay them.

Ace Combat 04, 5, Zero

cared enough to reply, lmao cucksole user

Majora's Mask got recomped

I can't wait to get free ports for all my N64 classics!

Sonic Unleashed got recomped

I can't wait to get free ports for my favourite 360 games!

Still literally nothing later for either of them because it actually takes work to do

You idiots never learn

Ar Tonelico games would be cool

because people open sourced their tools

I just want a version of MGS2/3 with all the effects intact

Black with mouse controls

plz

This, how are people not immediately realizing the potential this has for shooters?

Imagine a packed game of Timesplitters with other Anon Babbleirgins with mouse controls.

Really just would like it for all my favorite PS2 games and the tons I never played so no point in posting a list it would be massive. Although a port of SOTC that has improved framerate might be worth playing again for that alone.

There has never been a PC port of a console game that doesn't eventually run 1000x better on PC than it does on any console.

I'm totally not a tendie

this isn't news until you can play games
right now it's literally just a project file that exists on some nerd's computer somewhere
even if this does eventually get finished (it won't), people will realize you can't just port games with one button press and actually have to do work on every individual game so there will be 2 ports ever made with this and it'll be timesplitters and gran turismo and nothing else

Deadly Premonition is barely playable and it's been fucking years. I had to emulate the switch just to play it.

saints row 2

I love Ten-chuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!

revcs/relcs never ever

i hate rockstar

Would having a pc gaming board completely ruin Anon Babble? It would only be tendies and snoys shitfliging or 80% gatcha while the pc gaming board would flourish with emulation, strategy, racing, windows/linux gaymen etc.

The Suffering games run like fucking shit

Anon Babble would just become another dumpster containment board for twitter screenshots and tendies vs snoys shitposting.

A reminder for those who see an article like this and think PS2 games are just going to be magically ported to PC. That is not the case. Even if a tool could magically decompile every ps2 game without issues, it still take a team of people with a good understanding of the specific game to make a pc port. There are several n64 games that were manually decompiled that still do not have PC ports. Every ps2 game is not going to be availble on PC with a press of a button.

I was seeing this false assumption when the n64 decomp tools were released and when the 360 decomp tools were mentioned.

HONK HONK SHINOBI AND NIGHTSHADE HOOOOOOOOOOOOONK

kids, this is what a shill post looks like.

i was going to make a joke where I misunderstand you to be referring to the 2 in 1 ps3 remaster but I forgot this is a humorless subreddit so I won't

I'll finally get through the lotr jrpg

My thicc thighs goddess will finally come home.

Sotn is decompiled manually by this team github.com/Xeeynamo/sotn-decomp

FFX
SotC
KH2

Jak 1, 2 and 3 have gotten PC ports

None of the PS2 Ratchet games have gotten any

I'm surprised. Ratchet is the most popular of the big three.

Based, Urban Reign is so underrated

Rayman Revolution

some games that I had problems running on PS2 emulators (bugs, glitches, visual artifacts, slow down)

FantaVision
Driver 3 aka Driv3r
Driver Parallel Lines
Deus Ex
Gun
Urban Reign

GT concept also had a much more improved physics and handling model so that would be nice to include into GT3.

Deus Ex

what I would give to play this on PC

The reason behind Jak decompilation is more autistic than you think, naughty dog used some in-house programming language GOAL, those turboautists wanted to recreate it, that's why it called OpenGOAL

Recomp

It's just PCSX2 that autostarts the game.
Why would I want 50 copies of PCSX2?

Deus Ex

a recompile of the ps2 deus ex would be awesome

Lifeline and the others obscure games that uses the microphone

Dot Hack IMOQ port...
Finally...

Burnout 3
Burnout Revenge

I had a friend in highschool that was obsessed with this game, I thought it was old and outdated because it was 4 years old at the time. Fuckin hell gaming has slowed down to a glacial pace

Deus Ex: Conspiracy is pure unfiltered sovl, but runs like shit.

Emulation and PC gaming needs to be on a separate board.

It's right for the wrong reasons. Imagine the seethe when Emustacies and PChads have their own board so they can stop shitting up Anon Babble but it's still shit.

FFXI but offline

Valkyrie Profile 2, because it always had issues emulating.

Final Fantasy X, put an end to the disgusting remaster once and for all

Give me the good shit. AC3. Naval ops. War of the Monsters. Maximo

please, please please please plaseplaesaselakspelase
so many kino jp PS2 games to play. it would be a dream come true

you're right, I can't tolerate retards who think this is somehow a bad thing

now post playtime you pathetic trannoid
pc cucks hoard all the garbage ass ps2 roms and just stare at their cucked collection of icons pretending that they know what they are talking about lmao

This, Shadow Hearts series and Valkyrie Profile 2 GOOO.

Never see this game ever posted here

custom ship building

can make battleships as fast as a speed boat

can have so much Anti air (with lasers) that it looks like your putting on a rave party when you enable Anti-air mode

bat shit crazy bosses Giant battle ships with drills on the front, a giant iceberg battleship fortress that repairs itself because its made of ice etc. etc.

so much loot and different ship blueprints to customize your battleship however you want

You'd think this game would've been more popular but nah I never see it here
