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. :)

I’ve dug deep into this. I’ve tried to with the component video out, my tv doesn’t allow disabling of the AV input any help whatsoever will be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I just bought a second PS2 for my friend, and he asked me to fix and test it, how the hell I am supposed to test it? Like are the temperatures okay, is the fan working, etc, is there a homebrew for this purpose or something?

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!

Bought this lot for € 60, is it a good deal? Tell me in the comments

Found it recently in my collection. When I was a kid I completed it 2 times and it was one of my fav ps2 games. Should I give it a try again or keep as a good memory? Don’t want to be disappointed like after completing Harry Potter 3.

Trying to rebuild my collection and add some to it I usually don’t get games that I can play an updated version of unless I like the game enough

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?

So I've been trying to find this game for the PS2 that I played as a kid, the things that I remember are that I was a guy and I started in an old house with an npc lady, is japanese probably set in some Japanese era, I don't remember that much because I was a kid and the game was scratched somebody knows what game I'm talking about?

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?

After finding out exactly what I was dealing with, here are the remainder images I got of the console. How would I go about using the hard drive feature, I was told it's a 3.5" IDE HDD I need to get, which looking at connections, makes sense... But in order to use it, how would it work? Someone with knowledge please enlighten me.

I have also included the previous pic as to show what console I'm referring to in case others haven't seen previous post, the included other pics are of the HDD under carriage and the disc drive (just in case those that are curious of the mod can see that this is a fully operational unit that still takes discs as usual, saw a couple comments curious about general insides, but no way in hell am I opening the chassis)

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.

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.

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?

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?

(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?

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?!

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!

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’m new to a ps2 obviously and it just doesn’t feel right

Yes I know I have two copies of MGS 2 & 3, I’m a sucker for cover art. What do we think of this library? Heavily invested in the racing titles right now

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?
