Hehe, I haven't actually tried MESS recently outside of testing (e.g. seeing if it boots up and playing the first 5 minutes of a game), even though I have been keeping an eye on the PSX topic on the MESS forum, I have only tested a few games and forgot about it (I don't have many games at all, I was a Nintendo kid in the 1990s, only buying a PlayStation in 1999 so I could play the Tekken series, and then being disappointed that all three games had completely different AI that I couldn't exploit in the arcade anyway).

My PS2 collection is an order of magnitude larger however, but I don't see any of my (archaic) PCs running them outside of PCSX2, especially when even that struggles with some games! Hyper Street Fighter II plays full speed, yet Street Fighter Alpha Anthology brings my PC to a crawl, as does Tekken Tag/4/5 and the Grand Theft Auto series. MAME would probably be a slideshow, like playing PSX games on a Raspberry Prius or iFad.
