I've done a ton of testing trying to find PS2 , GameCube and PS3 era sports games. Most of the PS2 and GameCube stuff works just fine but I wanted to pass on what I've seen on PS3 and Switch. All of these games work perfect (IMO) right out of the box and no tinkering is required to get great video and audio. Feel free to add your own personal perfect "no tinker" games in the comments below. I'd love to see more sports games suggested, I'm especially missing a good baseball and American football game ๐Ÿ˜„

PS3:

  • The Bigs 2
  • College Hoops 2K8
  • NBA 2K9
  • NBA Jam
  • Skate.
  • Tekken 6
  • Virtua Tennis 4
  • Fifa 08
  • PES 08

Switch:

  • Layton's Mystery Journey
  • Mario Kart 8
  • Metroid Dread
  • Phoenix Wright
  • Super Mario 3D + Bowser's Fury
  • Tony Hawk 1+2
  • Hades
  • Rayman Legends

PS2:

  • ESPN 2k5
  • Fight Night Round 3
  • God of War II
  • NCAA Football 06
  • Tiger Woods 2005
  • NHL 2002

GameCube:

  • NBA Street 2
  • NFL Street
  • SSX3
  • Super Mario Strikers

I think Super Mario Galaxy needs tinkering even if there are no issues running it because of how heavily it uses the pointer

[โ€“] hydroel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The configuration needs to be adapted a bit otherwise the game is a pain to play, like having the pointer accelerometer constantly active. What kinds of tinkering are you talking about?

[โ€“] phi1997@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly the sort you mentioned. The game was not designed for a standard controller, so tinkering with the controls is required

Oh, sure, I think that tweak is only on the EmuDeck settings for SMG. That doesn't help much with performance, unfortunately.
