Cannot play any PS2 games

[The Pope]

The only core that seems to run PS2 games is Amiga, and I cant find anywhere to download the kickstarter roms and all of this crazy junk that it requires to function. Is there another core i can use? or maybe a way to download the roms? (Id much rather just use another core)

Is that core for the 80's Amiga PCs? Regardless, get the Ps2 core here:

If you're looking for PS2 emulation on RetroArch, please use a third-party emulator that isn't on RetroArch.

It sounds counter-intuitive to say and even promote something third party, but there's a reason.

There's a current project, PCSX2 that's taking great strides in modernizing PS2 emulation, with things such as per-game configs, resolution upscaling, custom textures, and tons of performance boosts that's updating by the day. It's absolutely worth it.

There is a PCSX2 core on non-steam RetroArch, but its not as advanced and is based on an older version of PCSX2
