Playing PS2 games on your Steam Deck is like unlocking a treasure trove of nostalgia, but on a modern device! First, you鈥檒l want to install an emulator because the Steam Deck won鈥檛 run PS2 games natively. The go-to for this is PCSX2, a well-loved PS2 emulator. After installing SteamOS, you can download PCSX2 via the Discover software center or use the desktop mode to install it manually. Make sure you鈥檝e got your PS2 game files (ISOs) ready. Then, boot up PCSX2, configure your settings, and you鈥檙e all set to enjoy your favorite PS2 classics on the go!
