Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations!

Ace combat 4, 5, and Zero

I’m just gonna say that KH2 on the PS2 isn’t even the best one. The HD remake was better bc it was the English release of the final mix. And you can play that natively through steam. Even with mods on the steam deck.
Play Need For Speed: Most Wanted for the PS2. It’s such a great cops vs racers game. It’s perfect for emulation bc shop should save state before selecting the winning card since there is one with a pink slip every time. Back in the day, we would just need to reset the whole system and make sure we saved before 3 full races, and just redo them. Emulation is the way to play this game!

But the HD remakes of the game are so much better. They’re the English releases of the final mix versions, which adds a lot of new abilities and extra content.

Oh my god. I have forgotten about this game for a while. I need to redownload it and get it on my steam deck! It’s such a fun game! I played this for a while. I can still hear the first song you play on the harmonica when the girl sings. I gotta get my wife to play this game and see what she thinks. Thanks for the reminder!!

Oh I watched the video. That's what prompted me to comment.
As soon as he opens it up it's like wrap speed. Just doing that in a video game would feel crazy.
I can't imagine maintaining fine control with how much vertical motion you must get over even smooth crests and dips. Those suspensions must be great.

I was about to say "but you can't emulate the HD remakes with a PS2 emulator, those only released for the PS4", but then I remembered they were all released for PC lol. So yeah good shout, if you wanna play the Kingdom Hearts games on the deck, just buy the HD remakes on Steam

If you've tried the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane trilogy, there are a few sequels of differing quality on PS2. I don't think any of them are particularly bad, but none are as good as the original PS1 trilogy (or the N-Sane remakes).

Luckily since you have a Deck, you can realistically change your thumbsticks should they get damaged.
-
I haven't tried the R&C collection on RPCS3 yet even though I have a copy. The compatibility list has it under In Game with some graphical bugs and glitches, but it was last updated nearly 5 years ago, so things may have improved.
-
I am not ashamed to admit it either. I even made the effort to get the PS2 ports of the two games that released on PSP, however I still need to play those.
It is a goal of mine to have every single R&C game playable on my PC. The only one I'm still waiting on is the PS4 version, and it's only a matter of time with ShadPS4. -
The only issue with Stuntman on emulators is it's one the last remaining games not playable on PCSX2. There's been consistent issues with the AI pathing on one of the levels and they haven't been able to patch it after all these years.
I'm not saying it won't ever be, but it may continue to be unplayable on non-native hardware for a while longer. -
Dance Dance Revolution!

Glad I could jog your memory! Yeah, I even went so far as to email the current owner of the rights to it about a sequel a few years ago, and basically got the generic "Maybe one day" response.

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 1 and 2, Champions of Norrath, Star Wars Battlefront 1 and 2, Burnout 3, Jak and Daxter, Rachet and Clank, SSX3, Twisted Metal Black, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3. I am sure I forgetting some other amazing games.

Id look up the GT4 spec II mod. it adds a bunch of features to the game and even the Valencia track from Tourist Trophy
-
How could you forget the best AC? Ace Combat: Zero!
-
Ratchet and Clank games
