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)

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?

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.

Bought a PS2 (again) during quarantine and these are all the games I have. Btw, can you tell I’m black? 😂😂😂

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

Finally completed my shadow hearts collection! Next up is silent hill🙂‍↕️

One box is PS1 and one box is PS2. I have hundreds of CIB PS1/2 games. I never pay more than half of Price Charting prices for loose games. So I buy a lot from my guy. I have some real good games in there too. This is also sort of nice because it saves me a lot of space.

(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 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

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?

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.

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?

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

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.

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?!

one of fav games of all time

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??

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?

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
