      ​@@rockymontanagarciamayne5651ever heard of using .7z files for ps2 simulators? I have this game on mine. It plays fairly good. You just need a snapdragon that's high enough. Also doable on iPad/tablets. Route it to your TV and your playing a mini sized PS2! It's really not that hard to set up. I watched a few videos and had a decent collection in less than a week with the right formatting and 'settings' knowledge. You basically just need to download a sort of language interpretation pack first to play the games. I forget what it's called precisely in the app but. It's an app! AETHER SX2 look it up!

    I remember the old technique of calling a support helicopter and getting the shot underneath the seat where the pilot sits just right so that the pilot would die but the helicopter would be structurally fine

    The best pistol I've ever used in ANY shooter came from either the first or second game. Only available through cheats, or through completion of the story, it was a fully automatic pistol that shot GRENADES, and then there was the Street Sweeper, an SMG that held 3000 rounds of HELICOPTER firepower, PER MAGAZINE.

    Laying waste to a city with a helicopter gun ship was just some of the most fun you could have

    ah yes, when you crash in the sports car, explode, but somehow live with one health.
