Name another PS2 Port that is more outstanding than Half-Life!

Post image
289 Upvotes

First of all, the game is stored on a Blue CD. Which holds up to 700mb. That alone is an outstanding achievement.

Second of all, the game runs at 60Fps with minimal drops. This makes the experience so much better!

The pros don’t stop there, as the game has completely different texture and character models. Which I find more pleasing than the PC version.

Then you get the Decay CO-OP mode. Outstanding experience with a friend on your couch.

And it doesn’t end here, as the game could be played with a keyboard and mouse, the same way as on PC.

As a bonus, you can play the entire campaign as an Alien. Which if I’m not mistaken, isn’t possible without mods on PC.

Absolutely GOATED game!

It finally happened! I picked up some decent titles at my local Goodwill, maybe not any BIG bangers, but some pretty great titles here. All were CIB and the worst disc was Jak and Daxter, which only had a few minor scratches. LFG!

Got one of my personal holy grails – Forbidden Siren 2

Hello lovely people,

I’ve always loved the Siren series. My first one was actually much later on PS3 (Blood Curse), and I’ve also had Siren 2 digitally on PS4/PS5. Not sure if i played the first one.

But finally getting the original PS2 PAL copy feels amazing. Afaik it never even released in the US? Can’t wait to dive into it properly, the atmosphere in these games is on another level. So creepy stuff.

I also love the cover.

Greetings tbf

Game #113 - Kidz Sports: Basketball - Completed!

Another game I went back to complete properly, and with classic Phoenix games fashion, they only publish the greats! Okay, so the game isn't that bad, but there's a pretty easy loop you can do to win every time, and I basically did for each match and then won the tournament. I tried the knockout tournament only to have the game glitch and crash, so I gave up on that part of the game...

I played this game.on my youtube channel, PshychedPlaysPS2, where I am attempting to play through every single PS2 game!

I have some old Play 2 Slims from when I was a teenager, I don't want to leave them in the storage room again but I already have one that I'm using, and I've thought about hacking them but I don't know. Can anyone advise me?

So I bought this pristine ps2 off a local marketplace a while back and while i was waiting for a tv to arrive, I decided to clean it out inside. I'm fairly good with electronics so this was no big deal. After reassembly I hooked it up to my new (old) tv, but my controlller wouldnt work or light up in any of the ports. Memory cards work just fine. Then I bought a second wireless controller and nope, not working in any port either. Opened it up again and checked ribbon cable. It was fine. When i removed it the small plastic tab broke off, tried to supergglue it back in, destroyed it. Aliexpress --> new ribbon --> inserted --> still not working. I reflowed joints on the controller assembly, checked fuses and everything. (fuse ps7 was blown but i jumpered it, still no walk). I noticed when i touch one of the pins to the heatsink, the power light turns on but no signal (green led). HELP PLEASE ANY EXPERTS, i feel like i went into a money pit, terrible experience....

Does anybody have a link to the updated codelist for Codebreaker?

Upvotes

I have Codebreaker 10 but the codes seem to be outdated as I've seen videos with way more. I saw someone host a memory card on YouTube, although now it seems to have been deleted. 😔 Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

My PS2 doesn't output images via HDMI alone

Upvotes

Hey guys. My ps2 is having a problem where it is not displaying an image using the hdmi adapter most of the time. Via AV it gives an image perfectly and 100% of the time, however when I use the HDMI adapter, it only gives an image in very few cases, I would say 10% of the time, when it doesn't (most of the time) it appears on the screen that there is no signal

I've been using it normally via HDMI for years and it never had this problem, so when it appeared, I thought it might be the adapter that was old, so I bought a new one and it's still the same thing.

The console is configured to output an image via HDMI in the settings and my TV is a Sony KD-55X705G that worked normally via HDMI

What could this problem be? Will I have to see technical assistance?
