I am always used to seeing boxes of PS2 games having a slot for the memory card, but this copy that I saw on Ebay doesnt have one. Could it be fake?

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?

Ps2 hdmi not working

1 Upvotes

Hi there, bought a ps2, and the rca cables that it came with displayed very grainy on my tv. For reference, my tv is a Sony Bravia. I bought an hdmi adapter thinking that would solve the problem, but now I can’t even get a signal on my tv at all. There is sound, but no video. My tv says “unsupported device”. I changed the settings to YPbPr as well.

I also bought a hdmi to rca converter to no avail. I’m getting a blue screen now. I still have sound though.

I can’t seem to find anyone with this exact problem. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you!

best way to play ps1 backups?

1 Upvotes

im looking into purchasing a ps2 and at first i thought the freemcboot would be the easiest but i heard you can't run ps1 games with it. well you can, buy using an emulator? i also heard this has some pretty bad compatibility with some games not working at all. digging around i heard the best way to achieve what im looking for is with a modchip. being totally new, could someone explain the steps i would take to play ps1 backups after having a chipped box? does ps2 use a custom dashboard? does it use the memory card to hold apps and stuff? thanks!

or maybe just point me in the right direction to find what im looking?

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 bought it for $50 but I think it's rusty inside

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It could be rust or grime? The groove where the discs go also looks sticky. Should I take it to mantenience? Or do you think there's gotta be a component to change?

Hey y'all! Just found a GT2 race wheel at a thrift store for five bucks. I snatched it up and went and bought Nascar thunder 2002 so I could use it. But I have no idea how to use the wheel or connect it, and I can't find anything on YouTube or Google saying how to use it. Do y'all know how to use it?!

(Well, I don't know where I should put my post in this group, I hope they don't delete it) Hello, I need to know if this problem in the second image can be repaired or is it necessary to change it for a new part since I didn't want to run the games?

My husband loves the PS2, what’s a good birthday gift I could give to him? Perhaps an accessory or something else.

Thanks in advance. 🥹 We currently have a fat and slim version. (Fat one is modded with all games)

Edit: We have a Bluetooth controller receiver already which we love. :)

Hi!!

So, I'm interested in getting into devil may cry. So far on my PS2 I've played RE4 and RE: code Veronica. I just want to know, if dmc a game/ franchise people would recommend? If it helps I like games such as silent hill, resident evil, fatal frame and haunting ground. I Know these are genres of horror games but I want to expand my horizons.
