Flashing back to the way Sony handled the PS3 OtherOS exploits, I think its likely if they can't fix an issue with the PS2 emulation, they'll remove/block the feature. I won't be surprised if the ability to emulate PS2 games is removed citing 'security concerns'.
- bigbluedots 4y agoI wouldn't be surprised if there's an update that removes PS2 emulation very soon. Small blast radius anyway as it's unlikely there are many users who use this functionality.
- MereInterest 4y agoIt would also be a pretty open-and-shut case of false advertising.
- matheusmoreira 4y agoI play some PS2 games on PS4. There's one game in particular that I really like: Ace Combat 5. If I get an update and my PS4 becomes unable to play this game, I will never purchase anything from them ever again.
- jonhohle 4y agoIt’s not arbitrary PS2 emulation. They have a PS2 emulator that they customize and bundle with classic PS2 games. Some of those games have been published physically and will have an unpatched emulator on disc. The PS4/5 don’t have PS2 emulators as part of their OS like some versions of the PS3 did. Edit to clarify: you can’t put in a PS2 disc into a PS4/5 and play it. You purchase a PS4/5 release of some previously PS2 era game that comes with an emulator.
- bigbluedots 4y agoThank you for clarifying, I guess that would mean there's nothing to patch.
- VWWHFSfQ 4y agoThe patch is to block playing those physical discs without an emulator update via PSN
- bitwize 4y agoSome versions of the PS3 had PS2 hardware inside, that's how they were able to play PS2 games.
- jonhohle 4y agoAnd some had partial hardware and partial software emulation.
