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 😄

PS3:

  • The Bigs 2
  • College Hoops 2K8
  • NBA 2K9
  • NBA Jam
  • Skate.
  • Tekken 6
  • Virtua Tennis 4

  • Layton’s Mystery Journey
  • Mario Kart 8

    Wait so you are saying you are on the preview channel? All I see is stable, beta and then preview. Thanks in advance.

      There’s a setting (under developer options I think) to show advance update channels. Once you’ve turned it on, you can choose different update levels for both Steam OS and the steam client. The most cutting edge version of SteamOS is main, which will put you on 3.5. This has several advantages (including better shader handling and SMT being worth using in emulated games).

      However, updating to the bleeding edge software update is not without downsides. Expect things to break fairly often. I tried the main update channel for awhile, decided too much was broken, and then found that something else that was broken was downgrading back to stable or beta. I ended up being stuck for awhile until the next update came out, at which point I was able to successfully downgrade. So proceed with caution.

        That’s the one - thanks, I’d forgotten where it was and didn’t read your comment before putting mine in place

      If you go into the developer settings area (Can’t remember what it’s called) you can turn on extra development sources, in which case you can trunk-level daily updates.
