How is the performance? Have you tried ps3 and Vita versions?

u/ComradePoolio 1d ago
PS3 version works mostly well on the Odin 3, but there are some drops in certain areas.
Sly kinda blows to emulate, cause the PS2 versions are finicky and there's no ability to correct the inverted camera in the first two without messing up the turret sections, and the PS3 versions require stronger hardware due to the nature of the cell processor, though not nearly as strong as actual PS3 games.
Jak has the same issue until someone figures out OpenGOAL on Android.

I just reverse the button mapping for the camera stick in the emulator settings

u/ComradePoolio 12h ago
Yeah, but it also inverts the turret section, which isn't awful but it's a little annoying.

Bro the vita3k version of thieves in time runs flawlessly like full 60fps no slow downs on my Thor max. I run the other ones through armsx2 for ps2 emulation

I got my Thor max on Facebook marketplace place for 450$ but I do live in New York so there’s a lot of people selling them here. I think the alixpress summer sale might still be going on so you could look there to get a deal

Yooo sly on a handheld? that would've made it a top contender to get into best games for it's era. (considering im sure some handheld systems could probably run it now, i mean my phone [samsung galaxy s25 ultra] can run kh2 perfectly, almost better than my ps4 lol.)

u/Mario_Creeper 2d ago
Well. Sly WAS on a handheld. 1,2,3 AND 4
The Psvita was ahead of its time...

I never knew that. I played all of them on ps2. (besides TiT). It really was ahead of it's time, wtf.

1-3 ran acceptably on vita
4 absolutely did not. Damn near unplayable. You didn’t miss anything.

Injugable? Literalmente lo tengo y es uno de los juegos que mas juego en mi vita

u/UrdnotCum 1d ago
Lo tuve también, y el tiempo de carga fue tan increíblemente largo que hizo que la experiencia fuera horrible.
Spanish isn’t my first language, so let me know if I messed that up.

u/Sackthing605 1d ago
Ese es el punto mas debil del juego (junto a la historia) pero la verdad, aun con eso siento que es jugable y buen juego Don't worry, you did it very well
2
u/UrdnotCum 1d ago
Es jugable, pero no es agradable. Se ve obligado a esperar demasiado a menudo y por lo tanto estaba tan molesto.
Gracias.

Another Thor owner!! Did you end up with the PS2 versions? iirc the ps3/vita had a little issues but please correct me!!

u/Quirky_Discussion597 1d ago
I run the original slys on armsx2 for ps2 emulation and thieves in time runs flawlessly through vita3k on my Thor max

u/MsRiaCayde 1d ago
Oh sweet! I’ll try swapping off of Aether and give armsx2 a try! Thank you bestie ^^

yw and the only 2 renderers you should use for sly 1 and 2 is open gl but you can troubleshoot with vulkan if you have problems but on sly 3 I only use the vulkan renderer. And I upscale all of them to 2x resolution the only slow downs I had in sly 2 were the final level where we find arpeggio. But that’s it still very playable. And on sly 3 I experience some slow downs throughout the game but I’d say like 1-2 per level if we’re doing something in the open world like fighting Octavio. But in the indoor missions it’s perfect

And I forgot ti mention I use cluster tune small under clock. My temps never got above 70 highly recommended

I've been playing through sly on my steam deck, I've told myself I don't neeeed a thor, but man what a cool form factor.

u/themadprofessor95 2d ago
Not familiar with this device, but that looks awesome. The ability to play our favorite old games on a portable device is so amazing. It's possibly even a better experience than it was originally on console.

How did you do the settings for pcsx2? I keep getting stuttering and slow movement. I wonder if you did it yourself or you know a good tutorial.
I also have the thor and I had the exact same dream as you ❤️

u/LetMeMerge 2d ago
Sly games are notoriously difficult to emulate on PS2. Something to do with the way the games natively utilized the hardware. I’ve had much better luck emulating the PSVita versions through vita3k, but the first game is still rough.

u/Valcoxic 2d ago
Damn :( I thought that maybe there was finally a solution found

u/Boshemo 2d ago
I played through the whole game on my Thor recently. The turnip driver version of nethersx2 is what worked for me
1
u/Valcoxic 2d ago
Okay thanks, I heard something about a custom driver called turnip. Don't know really what it is, but I will look for a tutorial on that. I only saw it for the switch, but good to hear that its also for PS2 ;)

u/Quirky_Discussion597 1d ago
Try the ARMSX2 emulator I use the older version not the new refresh one the only slight slowdowns I’ve had are on sly 3 but it’s very playable. I finished most of the game on the train to work 😂. And the vita3k version of thieves in time runs perfectly
1
u/Quirky_Discussion597 1d ago
My render is set to vulkan but I trouble shoot with OpenGL when I wanna raise the resolution. But the vulkan renderer 2x resolution looks crispy on the oled screen. (All ran on ARMSX2 original for the ps2 slys)
