About Nostalith

Nostalith is a guide to playing PlayStation 2 games in a web browser. We run an open-source PS2 emulator that loads a disc image you own directly from your device, and we write guides on controls, settings and compatibility for individual games.

What we don't do

• We don't host, sell or link to game files (ROMs/ISOs).
• We don't host or link to PS2 BIOS files – the emulator doesn't need one.
• We don't receive your disc image: the emulator reads it inside your browser.
