       | There were a handful of successful online PS2 games. SOCOM and
       | FinalFantasy were 2 but there was another called EverQuest Online
       | Adventures (EQOA). That game was shut down in 2013 and there's a
       | group of former players that are trying to resurrect it. The main
       | way to play what is left post-end of life is using PCSX2.

       | Similar to this, you should know that with a network adapter and
       | a hacked memory card, it's possible to play backup PS2 games from
       | a NAS. However, you will have to downgrade your NAS's security to
       | allow SMBv1. And not all games run smoothly over the network (nor
       | do all games run smoothly off hard drives, solid state drives,
       | USBs, or SD cards, which are also options). If you have the
       | architecture and want to future proof your PS2 (lasers are dying
       | fast), it's worth an afternoon getting it running. Keywords to
       | get your started: OPL; FreeMcBoot.
