: Using a soft-modded memory card to boot into homebrew software.

Despite the "7,784 games" branding, the collection primarily consists of ROMs for earlier consoles rather than actual PS2 titles. It utilizes five custom emulators tailored for the PS2 hardware: Nintendo Entertainment System (NES): Handled by FCEUltra. Super Nintendo (SNES): Utilizes SNES-Station. Sega Genesis/Mega Drive: Managed by PGen. Master System & Game Gear: Integrated through specific retro loaders. Atari & Other Retro Platforms: Various older handheld and console systems.

This is largely a marketing tactic. The PS2's entire library is roughly 4,300 unique titles; this collection fits thousands of games onto a single DVD by using low-memory retro ROMs (8-bit and 16-bit) rather than actual PS2 titles.

If you have the bandwidth, the storage space, and a passion for retro gaming, the "Super Collection" is the ultimate museum of the PlayStation 2 era. Just make sure you clear your schedule—you have a lot of games to catch up on.
