I've been sinking further and further into the RetroDECK time-sink of setting up my emulators just so, and having the most fun doing so. The PS2 is a largely unknown system to me, I neither had one nor spent much time before now playing through some titles.

So...this is what I have so far! Most have either HD texture packs (Rule of Rose for example, and also Silent Hill 2 has a incredibly big 29GB of HD textures, I added after taking this screenshot), or mods applied (Gran Turismo is Spec II)

I haven't got MGS3 there, as I'm waiting for the remake to arrive, but...

Can anyone suggest any titles which are 'must adds' for me? I'd appreciate it!

The Star Wars Battlefront games. With how horribly the liver service EA version that came out in 2015 was and how dead it apparently is, the PS2 games are the only ones I'll ever acknowledge as existing.

Also, one of my personal favorites that I'd consider a must have is Dokopon Kingdom. Yes the remake/remaster exists, but I don't normally go for remasters in most situations. Gameplay is just roll a spinner, move on board, and adventure around the world while trying to do quests if you are in the story mode.

Both games have a lot of content and replayability in my eyes, which makes a game more of a must have for me.

Edit:

Hot Wheels: Beat That! Looked it up because I couldn't remember the name, but that's a racing game with a good amount of replayability and isn't as short as something like Cartoon Network Racing. Didn't realize it came out on various other consoles and PC, but can definitely recommend on at least PS2 (how I ended up playing it).
