    What good would a backup do for a game that requires specialty hardware to run. I still have my ps2 games. I just can’t play them.

    I still have my cod1 pc disks, they just don’t do anything.

    What is the backup for?

      You can play them on an emulator. You can even connect a Dualshock 3 controller to your PC, and it’ll be just like playing on the “specialty hardware” it was made for.

            Holy crap. That’s a huge milestone!

            I remember when PS1 emulation was still spotty…

              Yeah, and with PS3 and 360 emulation still being pretty spotty, it will probably be the limit of near-100% emulation of a system for a while.

          It is for me. Has it not been accurate enough for your use?

            I hadn’t had a capable enough machine to do PS2 emulation smoothly until I also didn’t have enough time to spend time playing them, lol

            I’ve fixed the computer issue, and I’ll be fixing the time issue soon! Lol
