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

          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.

        If you care about emulation maturity, check for a Gamecube version first. Dolphin is the most mature emulator for any console of that generation

    The old Spider-Man games were better I think

      This, though in the case of games on all 3 consoles of that gen I’d grab them on gamecube since Dolphin is so far ahead of PS2 or Xbox emulation

      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.
