# Games 4 fun

Just a little note about apps, games, settings for next time playing :D Please
have fun, of course :D

I have tested all software below on:

- My work laptop (Macbook Pro M1 (2020)).

If below links die, I will try to scrape Internet to get a new link.

## PS2 emulator

I use [PCSX2](https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2). Currently it supports macOS on
nightly builds, but it's good enough.

![pcsx2-000](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/haunt98/posts-images/main/pcsx2-000.jxl)

Should download BIOS, I go with USA version:

- [Here](https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Emulator_files#PlayStation_2)
- [Another here](https://cdromance.com/bios-files/)
- [Another here 2](https://myrient.erista.me/files/Redump/Sony%20-%20PlayStation%202%20-%20BIOS%20Images/)

Should enable cheats:

For cover art of games, please use
[xlenore/ps2-covers](https://github.com/xlenore/ps2-covers).

### [Resident Evil 4](https://wiki.pcsx2.net/Resident_Evil_4)

- [CDROMANCE](https://cdromance.com/ps2-iso/resident-evil-4-usa/)
- [myrient](https://myrient.erista.me/files/Redump/Sony%20-%20PlayStation%202/Resident%20Evil%204%20%28USA%29.zip)
- [vimm](https://vimm.net/vault/9108)

I recommend to use
[HD textures](https://gbatemp.net/threads/resident-evil-4-hd-textures-update-2.615869/),
it's better for your eyes:

- [Direct download link](https://www.mediafire.com/file/1cm5bqb1b0vxdpu/R.4_HD.Textures.xXThe.RockoXx.rar/file)
  if forum dies.
- Play in x4 or x5 resolution.
- Enable `Load Textures`.
- Disable `Precache Textures`.
- Disable `Async Texture Loading`.

Please give thanks to [xXtheRockoXx](https://ko-fi.com/xxtherockoxx) for his
work.

After download HD textures, please extract then copy to PCSX2 texture folder.
Remember to rename it to serial name (SLUS-21134, ...), because different region
has different serial name.

For hacking, create file with content below in PCSX2 cheat folder. Remember to
rename it to `crc.pnach` (`013E349D.pnach`, ...).

```txt
// Money

// Infinite Health Leon
patch=1,EE,001c27f8,word,00401023

patch=1,EE,001c293c,word,00401023

// Infinite Ammo
patch=1,EE,2012009C,extended,00000000
```

Beautiful result!
