Re: Will your desktop/laptop run PS2? ***Ask here***


Here's a ~$300-350 build by Logan from teksyndicate, modified by a guy on the buildapc subreddit. I only want a budget PC for playing PS2, and not much else, which is why I found this build interesting. All in all, I'm looking for the absolute minimum you could go, while still playing PS2 relatively well.

I'm still doing my research to catch up on 10 years of advancements in PC's (last build was in 2003 for PS1), so I wanted some input from other PS players more knowledgeable on the subject regarding the quality of a budget rig like this. Chances are I'll lean more towards his $550 rig with the i3, unless PS2 really doesn't need a more expensive build.

Completely disregard my post if this build is laughable in the face of PS2! Without an official word on the minimum from soe, I'm quite clueless.
