This is what my PS3 collection is at now. I'm still missing a few that I want but I've got a lot of real good ones.

I'm trying to understand why you got R6 Vegas and Ghost Recon on PSP emulation.

I've watched videos of guys doing review of handheld ports of big titles and they're never appealing.

LOL... the question is not why, but why not

The mobile games ie PSP mostly for my Anbernic so will play if I am in the mood, highly doubt I would play it on the big screen, well not when I have official 360 version in my Xbox Series X Library.

Quick Set-up guide for people that wanna run PS2 Emulation:

I used a I5 2nd Gen Mini PC with Nvidia 1030 low profile and was able to upscale to 1080p @ 60hz, so you dont even need a beefy PC

Download Nightly from https://pcsx2.net/downloads/
Extract to any folder. Does not need to be the same drive as the games
What I did is run the emulator on an internal drive and games off a USB
Dump / source your bios and place it into a bios subfolder.

It will ask you for your ROM path of 1st boot to scan and import can be set to auto.
After that you will see a screen like this:


Here click on Tools -> Cover Downloader:
.

Enter Source:
2D https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xlenore/ps2-covers/main/covers/default/${serial}.jpg
3D https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xlenore/ps2-covers/main/covers/3d/${serial}.png
eg:

Click on Use Serial if you use multi regions
Click Scan

When done you will have a nice presentation in Tile view:

Double click on icon to run.
Alt+Enter go to full screen if you running windowed

To upscale simply go to Settings -> Graphics Rendering and change internal res to 3x

You can also play around with any settings like shaders, aspect ratio and that, best is to do this on the fly in game by pressing esc to access the overlay settings.

Tested with Xbox, PS5 and 8bitdo Controller all working perfectly, if WIndows sees it it works.

Don't be afraid to experiment, as you can go back to default at any time.

I've got a good few hundred Nintendo ROMS already which is really my interest in it, but it says it comes with 5000+ 'games', anyone know what these are? Sounds like a decent library if it's decent Megadrive ROMS etc.

I normally trash whatever they give as they normally contain loads of duplicates and not properly named roms, Also the cards they supply is of suspect quality.

My Advice, invest in a proper SD Card and supply your own ROMs. (See PM)

I've heard the same about the cards, I'll back them up as soon as I get them and use decent ones. Thanks for the ROMs heads up

I thought Donkey Konga was a joke mispronunciation of the game name.

Looking into little something for myself.

The 10 year old inside of me is looking for something to do while I am waiting for permit to clear. Just something I can keep in my toolbox. We can't keep our phones on us because of the camera function and it gets locked away when we enter the area. I asked they said something like this is 100% ok as long as it doesn't have a camera.
