This will be great for preservation of PS2 games. Well done!
It seems like preservation of games for later consoles is a lost cause. If I pull out my PS5 30 years from now and pop in my Cyberpunk 2077 disk to play, I'm going to have a barely playable game.
It's better than nothing, I suppose, but I won't be able to re-play the excellent version that I played through last year.

  It depends if you have a ps4 disk or a ps5 disk.
  The ps5 disk is the "Ultimate Edition" version. It was released 3 years after launch and contains the 2.0 update
