PlayStation 2 games run great on Xbox Series S after a little dancing with a tambourine

 

What to do when I bought an Xbox Series S and the next generation games are over? Of course, run the PlayStation 2 emulator and play the classics.

PS2 to Xbox games

The new Xbox can do that too. Back in 2016, Microsoft added Developer Mode to its consoles, which allows you to run Universal Windows Platform ( UWP) apps on a set-top box. The list of supported programs also includes the RetroArch emulator, which allows you to run games from other platforms, including the PlayStation 2.

Tests were conducted by the blogger Modern Vintage Gamer, showing the performance of Metal Gear Solid 2, God of War, Shadow of the Colossus, Gran Turismo 4, Outrun 2006 and Timesplitters 2. Most of the projects showed near-ideal performance, and some games even ran at higher resolutions ... Nevertheless, from time to time, the blogger came across small graphic artifacts, such as incorrect reflection of shadows.

Modern Vintage Gamer also noted that the emulator itself is still at an early stage of development, and it had to suffer before launching games.
