Xbox vs PS2? (lemmy.ml)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by M500@lemmy.ml to c/emulation@lemmy.ml
 

I have a decent ps2 rom collection and started collecting Xbox.

I assume that ps2 emulation is further along than Xbox, so I’ve just been collecting Xbox exclusives.

But I know some games are better on Xbox like GTA.

What games do you think were better on Xbox than they were on ps2?

The Xbox just has a cleaner resolve in its video output in generally better specs. The rule of thumb is that every single Xbox version in a cross-platform comparison is better.

What about when emulating? I’m just emulating Xbox for the first time this week and up until now, I was under the impression that it’s not as mature as ps2 emulation.

Whoops, that serves me right for not reading the prompt. I'm pretty sure PlayStation 2 emulation is further along.

I tested a few different xbox roms today and while PS2 seems to work pretty perfectly, most games had serious slowdown or major graphical glitches

Xemu is absolutely solid for Xbox emu.

It seems like half the games I try do not run too well or have some kind of glitch. Maybe it is just the settings, or the Steamdeck.

The old Spider-Man games were better I think

Thanks! I vaguely remember playing spider man back in the day, but I’m not sure if it was on that generation.

I can remember that one of the editions of spiderman 3 had a lot more content on either Xbox or PS2, but I don’t remember which.

Definitely PS3 and 360
