PCSX2 is basically the only viable PS2 emulator out there, so you'll need something running Windows. PS2 emulation will be your biggest limiting factor here. It has standard USB ports.įor PS2 and PS3 and whatever else exists you're still looking at a mini PC build. I don't have first hand use myself but it looks like it's ok, with some games not being great or needing individual tweaks and testing (the bit I hate). The Shield Pro (2019) can also do Dolphin for Gamecube & Wii as it's 64 bit - the TV can't as it's only 32. The Shield TV takes microSD and can pair with Xbox One or DS4 controllers so you're not forced into getting theirs. It looks like there are also MAME/FBA apps but I don't know how good these are. DS is the other one I'd mention as being well implemented with good performance (of course not ideal on a normal TV with controller) and of course you're good for PS1 and everything older too. I was shocked as to how good those specific 4 were after years of messing around on other platforms where nothing seemed to 'just work'.

I have the Nvidia Shield TV (2019) which I'd mainly bought as a streamer and then to mess around with emulation.
