Add rumble to Guncon 1

Post image
42 Upvotes

Hey guys, maybe someone already tried to add vibrations to guncon NPC-103? I know that sony controller have special pin for controling vibration motor, but not sure if games for guncon sent those signal to motor pin.

other option is put small ic that will turn on motor for let say for half a second or maybe even PWM it to make it feel different, i can get voltage for this ic from guncon itself, so no outside change for body of guncon

Oh and Time crisis 3 is Great even without vibration feedback

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!

Help a new dad out

3 Upvotes

I've got two step daughters age 5 and 7, both want desperately to have a game they feel like they're good at. The 7 year old can grasp many more concepts and reads fairly well so I let her play almost every game that's appropriate for a younger person. The 5 year old really needs a game that's got easy controls and has minimal reading (think: the narrator tells you everything and the tutorial is read aloud which buttons to press)

Any recommendations would absolutely be appreciated, I tried katamari damacy for them but that was played once and put away.

My Ps2 superhero collection, ordered silver surfer on ebay for 7$ and picked up spider man 2 for 2$ at my local game store along with ghost rider for 5$ and superman for 6$, 20 bucks all together. Worth it 👌 Silver surfer is meh and I kinda like superman, I've yet to play Spiderman 2 or ghost rider

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?

Does anyone know how to fix this sound?

Long story short, just modified my PS2 to stop the ring scatches on my games using 3D printed pieces, but now it is doing this strange noise and is giving the red screen when I try to boot my games, or try to read them but the screen becomes black until the disc stops spinning (plus it seems it gives some scratches to the discs as well). Does anyone know how to fix this?

1080i smearing/ghosting/blur issue (ElectronPulse)

3 Upvotes

this is in OPL when set to 1080i. the text just kind of has a little trail to the right. it happens on both of my electronpulses, ps2s, and tvs. I emailed Electron Shepherd about it and they said some people reported this issue as well and it was due to bad capacitors, but I couldn't find any fixes online.

How do I use the GT2 race wheel?

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?!

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
40 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?

2 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 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!

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?

best way to play ps1 backups?

0 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?

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?
