14:35 Recap should show 98% instead of 100% and 2 "Playable" games, which was Breath of Fire IV and Okage. Thanks for the people who pointed that out! We will revise the rating on our next video where we will test more than 100 PS2 games as usual!

My hats off to you for making this video, because this is big reason I got the RP5, to play my PS2 JRPG backlog. This confirmed my purchase was a good one haha. Right after this video I finally spent the time filling up the rest of my SD card with these beauties.

Thanks!

You have a few games listed as playable, Arc the Lad being one example, but your final score shows 100% super smooth. Why is that? 🤔

Thanks for making this video. When revisiting the PS2, I usually want to play great old JRPGs that are stuck on that system. I'm already super happy with my RP5, and I can't wait to play more.

Amazing, thanks so much for this.
FYI the recap doesn't add up as you marked Breath of Fire IV as playable (which looks correct given the drop in FPS). I imagine if you bumped the mode to 'performance', it would be fine. In any case, great job!

[Jax-id]

Finally someone test xenosaga on this device

Thats it
I'm so buying this!

[JimPanzeeEsq]

This is great, do you ever test out fanslations etc?

[RyanSaotome]

How about at 1080p? I wouldn't wanna be playing these games in low resolution.

Can you also do sports game on ps2 like MLB 07 the show, madden 06, NFL 2K5, Freekstlye? No other channel seems to do any sports game..

How does it handle 2-3x fast forward to grind faster, skip long animations or wandering on the locations?
