Does anybody know the best emulation stick/console to get for PS2 games? Long story short, somebody I know recently bought a retro game stick off TikTok shop with a boat load of games ranging from Atari to PS1 with just about everything in between. I got kinda jealous and wanted one with more 3d gaming capabilities, PS2 is the important one but I’d also like it to be able to run GameCube and N64 if possible. I also didn’t really want to risk the TikTok shop route unless I know it’s a good source, so I figured this was the best place to ask.

I'm trying to run Disney Learning Adventure: Search for the Secret Keys on my macbook (for nostalgia purposes). This game came out in 2002 for mac and windows. I found the files on archive.org and tried to use scummvm to run the files. Most of the files I clicked on just resulted in a pop-up saying "did not see game files here", but there were two folders, titled CD and HD, that instead got an error saying that it was an "unknown game variant". I was still able to attempt to run these game files, but when I did, I just got a black screen. Then, I went a different route and tried a macos emulator, and ran MacOS 9.2.2 (or something close to that). I dragged in the iso file, and this time it almost worked. It appeared on the emulated mac screen, I clicked on it, and there was a download button that I clicked. When I clicked it, it started installing, and the progress bar got roughly 2/3 of the way done, but it then said "installation failed". Does anyone know what I could try to make either of these methods work, or a completely different method I should try?

ScummVM has a pretty extensive compatibility list (https://www.scummvm.org/compatibility/2026.4.0/). This game isn't on it so it obviously isn't going to work.

I don't have any experience with Mac emulation but if you want help with it, it's probably a good idea to name the emulator you're having trouble with. 

Failing all that maybe you can just emulate the windows version with DOSBox-X or something
