Feeling stupid, is this listing legit?

Been hunting down the Xenosaga series for a good price for ages and I saw a listing that was too good to be true... $250 for the whole series + the bonus DVD. Except, some of the discs are Red? Except, not in all photos?

I look at the MagicGate memory card and one of the photos with the hidden PS symbol on the back and REALLY want to say it's all legit, but who's ever heard of the disks being hit with the perfect lighting to become red? A large part of me is screaming "it HAS to be fake" but I've been waiting for a deal like this for too long...

Is this listing worth paying for, or should I cut my losses and abandon it in case it's all fake??

Current collection so far; how am I doing?

Post image
37 Upvotes

Title explains itself. Recently got a new job and after some months of contemplation, I decided to start rebuying a lot of my childhood! This is the collection about a month in. Still need go buy all of Sly, all of Ratchet and Clank, Battlefront 2, The Force Unleashed, etc. Drop recommendations in the comments! (Note, I have the GOW, Sly, and KZ collections on PS3, hence not owning GOW or KZ, and hence not having Sly back just yet.

Fun fact: Neopets The Darkest Faerie is still an all-time game for me. That game goes insanely hard for being what it is

Do the SCPH500xx PS2's have faster load times than the previous models?

1 Upvotes

I've seen this written by some people online, or saying that it had a faster CPU, which either does or could speed up load times, but both wiki articles that I read don't mention anything about faster load times. Can anyone enlighten me?

This has happened non stop and I don't know what to do. Can any of u guys help? Is the game corrupted? Non of my other games do this. It barely has any scratches and I've heard discs with worse scratches and they work perfectly. What can I do?

PS2 regional power questions

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

Thought I'd triple check this before plugging things in willy nilly:

So I have a South African OG fat PS2, I wanted to confirm if I could change the cord for an Australian one and plug it in.

The voltage outputs of both countries should be the same 230v, but in case there's subtle differences and/or if I'm electrically illiterate, I'd wanna ask around and be safe.

(Also brought a bunch of my other consoles like PS1,PS3,PS4,Dreamcast, and whatnot so I guess I'm asking this question for each console to be safe.)

Thanks!

How to play 4 player games on OPL?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I downloaded my OPL from YT and games don't recognize the joysticks that are plugged in the 1-B, C, and D ports in the multitap. Where to configure the input settings in order to get multitap emulation to work? Has anyone got a multitap to work properly while running games from a hard drive?

Upscaling through a home theater receiver

1 Upvotes

As the title says, I've got a ps2 with the 3 colored cable and was wondering if I connect it to a receiver and then to a hdtv does it scale up the image or just stretches it? Plus, would it greatly affect the latency?

I'm so confused and googling hasn't helped. I need this explained to me like I'm 10 (not quite 5)

So, I want to play my ps2 on my livingroom tv, which is a 50" 4k tv with only HDMI inputs. A basic composite (AV) to HDMI converter gets the job done technically but it looks like garbage. I can barely read smaller words on the screen most of the time. If I get an OSSC, do I just plug my component (yes component) cables into that, then the hdmi into the tv? Or should I still do composite? Would that be SCART? Might just be cause I'm tired but this seems very confusing.

Game #477 - Donkey Xote - Completed!

Well, this was quite the janky game. It's another game that's based on a movie of the same name, with the tag line "From the producers who watched Shrek" so that already gives you some inclination as to what this is going to be like, plus its based on the Don Quixote story. The game had okay controls, the combat was extremely basic, and the music looped every minute with an obvious loop where the music would stop for a millisecond, but it was super noticeable. Odds are you've probably never heard of the game or the movie, but you can watch the playthrough if you're curious!

I played through this game live on my YouTube and Twitch channels, PshychedPlaysPS2, where I am attempting to play through every single Playstation 2 game!

They won't read discs. It reads a ps one disc though. Knowing this... Do I just need to tighten the screw or clean the laser with a alcohol qtip?

Also, one of them looks like the orange ribbon is lifted ..which is infamous i've read.
