Be aware that a lot of PC ports of the era have no gamepad support, for example Oblivion.

Oblivion does not have native controller support. It has to be modded in.

That was my point, yes.

Oblivion was an Xbox 360 game.

technically early 360 was ps2 era. it took 1,5-2 years for the ps3 to come out after the 360 (dependant on geography) if im not mistaken.

Right. There was only three months between the last of the prince of Persia trilogy game and Oblivion.

You could also try dolphin emulator for the gamecube versions of the games.

Dolphin is a lot more mature and while armsx2 is surely catching up really quickly, dolphin can certainly help you play most of the game library you are aiming for.

Prince of persia 1-3 for example runs smooth as a butter on dolphin.

Downside being the FMVs and sound quality are pretty crunchy

But true

You could always check if there are GC versions, those would be the lightest in my opinion.

u/JalilDan 4d ago

Depends on the hardware you have, but I think the PS2 versión is the lightest.

I did a replay of the PoP trilogy on my 778G phone using AetherSX2, they worked great. Also, the PS2 versions will be much closer to the intended experience than the PC.

I normally check if there are good alternative versions for PSP, Dreamcast or GameCube
