What are good sources of PS2 files? - eviltoast

My main interest is the preservation of media history. To that end, I am looking for a good source of PS2 files so that I can catalog and archive them into a dedicated USB HDD. Then I’ll store the drive in the random nuclear fallout shelter the house I bought came with until the day the world needs a copy of ‘Little Britain: The Video Game’.

Seriously, any suggestions for collections sources would be appreciated.

    For preservation, go with a redump pack. They aim to make a collection of “perfect checksums” of every game. Badically, multiple people will rip the same game and they post a “hash” of their file and the perfect rip is the one that matches each other. They do not share the actual files, but you can get the a pack from archive.org of iso files that match the hash database of redump. This should give you the best collection.
