Mega cool, I’m curious if there’s a way to burn the ISO to a disc and get this playing on a physical console?

FreeMcBoot on a memory card + USB flash drive (or internal disk) is a popular option to play on real hardware. Saves wear and tear on the optical drive too.

I have sat on a freemcboot mem card for probably 6 years now. I’ll get around to it eventually…

It's a good time! I feel the PS2 is an iconic member of any living room TV setup, especially with an SSD, a couple controllers, and component out. Nice to have for hangouts!

Oh damn can you get some real performance boost out of an SSD? Do you install it or does it hang out externally?
