Did you know if you still have some but you don't have one of these, you can still play your games using any cheap external DVD player for your computer. So let's plug this in. Then grab your game. Then pop that bad boy in. Then download the ultimate PlayStation 2 emulator known as PCSX2. And once installed, open it up. Go to system, select start disc. Select your drive and hit okay. It's gonna boot up the game in that disc drive. Just play your old PS2 games. And I think that's pretty cool, especially considering you can go out and buy a DVD drive for like 30 bucks and sometimes these guys get a little expensive. And inside this emulator, you can crank the graphics and make everything look pretty darn good. But that's gonna do it for this video. I hope you found this helpful. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. And if you'd like to be able to support my channel, consider checking out my Patreon or my YouTube memberships. As always, I appreciate your time. And thank you.
