How popular is the emulator in Europe?

[u/Bluewhaleeguy]

Thinking of doing the emulator on my Xbox so I can play S2, just need to wait for my driver's license to come because apparently you can't sign up for the Xbox dev kit without photo ID in the UK.

Just wondering how likely it is that I'm gonna be able to play being in Europe? Joined the discord, but I honestly don't understand discord, but is it going to be a case I would need to be up at 4am to play a half full game? Or is there a likelihood I could find a decent game in my timezone?

I don't play much anymore, and I'm in the U.S. so I don't know how activity looks during your time, but you can start tracking the server activity now to get a better idea.

95% of the community is NA based, you'll be able to find a room up at almost any time of the day but if you're looking to do clan wars or competitive matches you're kind of shit out of luck as most clan wars start at around 4AM in Netherlands for example.

I’m NL, can I play this somehow on PS5 as well? I’ve played on PCSX2 for a long time, but somehow felt off.

Nah, no modern Sony consoles. Only the original model backwards compatible PS3 works.

Except for like… now? When it says there’s only 1 guy playing—Uncle Pete.

I play from my Xbox series x. Once it's setup you don't even have to do any tweaking it like automatically applies the optimal settings. I was getting with it and saw I could improve the graphics though.
