I'm trying to get the best compatibility for PS2 games and PS1 games as I can possibly get. I saw that Toxic OS has some great compatibility but was wondering about HD Loader.

For Toxic OS and HD Loader if those are the best options, do I need to get the HDD addon for the fat PS2?

The only way I see to get PS1 games to work is POPStarter which doesn't have the best compatibility. Is there any other way? Is Toxic OS able to run PS1 games?

I have a fat NA PS2 if that matters.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

OPL for ps2 games. PS2PSXE will work for PS1 games, but the compatibility isn't all that. I'd recommend a chipped PS1, less hassle.

    Question: Did E3 get cancelled altogether? There were a lot more @ E3 expo's than the gaming industry, so, what event are you referring to, and let me know about E3!!!
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That would be a good game, just base it on death row past
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That was basically San andreas

    from quality and hype aspect i mean
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Honestly no real point mild game announcements laggy streams overhyped bs when they could do it at their own time behind a camera
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    compare all E3 from the beginning till early 2000s that were god-tier. then compare all the later E3 that were pure cringefest and soulless.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They probably all friends behind doors and laugh at us arguing over consoles
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    old E3 were huge budget fiestas.

    @BigOnYa: You know what would rock? Howabout a space shooter in the vein of COLONY WARS. People have tried to do this but it just DOESN'T FUCKING WORK. And I'm serious. If you've ever, EVER plays Colony Wars, a terrific space shooter, with all of it's ships maneuverability like Colony Wars (your ship in that game can move BACKWARDS, which is a serious part of navigating in that game), and modern-day gameplay would be fucking AWESOME. But you know what? It'l NEVER FUCKING HAPPEN, for the same reasons that SONY FIRED Liverpool Studios. Know what that means? No more WIPEOUT RACING GAMES. I've said enough. I have to retire. You cats stay cool, and we'll be seeing you in the Matrix...

    By the way, in remark I made above about WipeOut & Colony Wars, BOTH of these games were developed by PSYGNOSIS. On the OG Playstation, there were 3 iterations of WipeOut, and 3 iterations of Colony Wars. Psygnosis eventually evolved into LIVERPOOL STUDIOS, so I hope you can understand the connection. Studio Liverpool was eventually shut down after their release of the WipeOut Omega Collection for the PS4 (which is also available for the PS5). This was a TERRIBLE move for the CEO COCKSUCKERS @ SONY, who only look for profit. The CEO's of this company DO NOT PLAY VIDEOGAMES. They just want to know how much money is going into their pockets. Too bad, that was a VERY TALENTED TEAM OF DEVELOPERS. Oh well, looks like I'll be saving my money on the next-gen console that is backed by REASONABLE FUCKING GAMERS.

    Good thing Sony killed all their great studios to make successful gems like Concord
