Yes, the follwing:
Silent Hill : Shattered Memories
Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 4 : The Room
Silent Hill Origins

Some of them required software renderer, some of them worked with Vulkan. But all of them required emulator core tweaks. For example, on Shattered Memories I have:
Mipmapping: Off - Trilinear: Off - CPU Framebuffer Off - Depth Support Off - Frame Latency: 3

Some of them worked with the EE Rate of 100, others needed the EE Skip set between Normal and Max.

Just be patient with each game and try different things. Results most certainly vary but they have been very positive.

@TPR the custom build I'm using doesn't have a ps2 option on there and I'm not smart enough you add one. Ah well

AetherSX2 is in under emulators makes for a easy install

@ExarKunIv this particular build is using Batocera. Is it still as easy?

They mean they're using Batocera and not RetroPie :).

@ExarKunIv like @mitu said I'm using batocera. It has a specific set up different to Retropie. You can't just go to a list of emulators and click download. Obviously I'd rather be using a clean RetroPie build but needs must while it's still in development

yes, i know. i use it on a few different boards i have.

if you give the 2 images that @RapidEdwin08 said a try you can get PS2 working.
until the official image is ready.

i use the Unofficial RPi5 RetroPie image. and it works really well. and you just need to run the update script to get the latest fixes
if you want to see how well it works

@ExarKunIv thanks. Will look into these unofficial ones you mentioned
