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 😄

    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?

      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.
