The current state of ps2 emulation is genuinely amazing.

Dude I remember when pcsx2 was struggling to run on my computer unless I heavily tweak some settings, now it just works.

Even more amazing and jaw dropping is that I could now emulate these games on my phone, I tried ARMSX2 and it was stable enough that I 3D printed myself a phone holder that snaps onto my controller for on the go ps2 gaming.
