If you've been paying attention, you might have already realised this, but Sony's PS2 emulator for its classic PS Plus Premium re-releases appears to be improving.
Eagle-eyed fans of Sly Cooper have spotted a better image quality in the game since the latest update. With the most recent patch installed, the original Sly adventure does appear to have a sharper image.
We checked this out for ourselves, and can confirm that there is a boost to the image quality. If you compare the below screenshots, the one on the right (with the latest patch installed) has cleaner edges on the character model and level geometry:
Obviously the differences are fairly minor in the grand scheme of things, but there is an improvement here.
It's encouraging to see Sony is committed to not just bringing some classic games to modern systems, it's also putting in the work to ensure the emulation software is up to snuff.

I might check these out because the PS3 trilogy had a lot of issues, worst of them being hard locks and the sneaking sound playing at completely random times
Well it should be flawless given the fact it's a Sony property with plenty of resources to make it happen.
That's great to hear, but I would also appreciate having the option to use original resolution with integer scaling to get super sharp pixels. PS2 games were designed with certain resolution in mind, so this would help make the image more cohesive. Besides, options never hurt.
A lot of gamers want the virtual console that Nintendo had back. Although virtual console is gone on the Switch, it lives on for PlayStation gamers.
I've downloaded the "new" Jak & Daxter, but not had time to compare the two yet. Hopefully Ape Escape 2 is next, as the current emulation it's pretty awful on PS5.
Does it share the same trophy list as the PS3 hd releases?
Its a sad set of affairs when my phone and pcsx2 will run this better than the current gen console of the company that the game was originally on.
