you can also now be like me and shove the whole PS2's NTSC, PAL, and fantranslated or english friendly J games on a single 8tb HDD and shove it in that bitch.
as far as cords and stuff, there is basically nothing that will make a ps2 look good on a modern screen outside of a high dollar upscaler. you're not totally fucked because just component cables will do the job just fine, there is just too much wonky resolution shit on the ps2 in particular to do anything to make it look actually good outside of a CRT or upscaler. just to play games and shit just get component cables or if you have hdmi only get a converter. the xbox and gcn were much more forward thinking in this regard where most if not all games had progressive scan and were 480p. almost no ps2 games have progressive scan. but with FMB and OPL you can force settings for better looking stuff when using the component cables. just force 480p and you'll be good to go. I'm lucky in that I just have my giant old living room mitsubishi CRT still from when I was a kid, but I still hook the ps2 up in my living room from time to time for multiplayer instead of my office room where that tv is and with components and forcing 480p it is playable and unless you've played it how it's supposed to look super recently you won't tell the difference, it'll just look like a game that's almost 20 years old whatever it is. but with regular composite cords you won't be able to read any fucking text on a modern display

. It's nice to just turn the thing on and it goes immediately into games, the number of games I don't have as real copies is pretty limited and mostly fan translations.
