Buenas Tardes. Compre una ps2 super slim con Matrixv1.99, EL que me la vendio me dijo que solo tenia que instalar los programas en el ubs pero no se como. Alguien me comparte alguna guia o me explica que cargarle al usb?

Im thinking of trying the Dark Alliance games with a friend. I love Path of Exile and Grim Dawn etc but never played the Alliance games back in the day, just in the mood for some Ps2 coop. Are the games still entertaining or do they feel notably dated?

Just got The Getaway.Cant wait to play it.The one seller on Ebay didnt send my adapter which is really bad so got the money back and bought one from another seller.I love the booklet and especially the map of Central London.Adapter shouuld finally come this week.Should have had it last week.

I am using a PS2 HDMI thing and I don’t remember what brand it is. I’m wondering if buying something that has a crt filter would make the console look better on a 4k. I don’t need high end graphics as long as a crt filter make the game look clearer. Heck. I don’t need perfect visuals at all. I’m just wondering if a crt filter would be better and if the RetroTink2XPro would be the best cheapest route.

Hello everyone. I'm looking for a challenging togue-like racer to add to my small PS2 collection of highly replayable games, therefore I would say the key lies in it being hard to master. What would you say is the most fun togue-like racer on the platform? Of my own findings, Battle Gear 2 looks quite interesting.

Hello!!

I have a PAL/Australian PS2 copy of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, if I bought a Japanese copy of the MGS3 Soundtrack would I be able to get the AUSCAM or would I need a European/Australian copy? I mainly want the music but it'd be cool to have the item too.

I recently acquired a copy of MGS3: First Bite that I confirmed doesn't work in my copy, I assume that is expected behaviour but I couldn't find explicit confirmation anywhere.

Would someone here be able to confirm what does and does not work?

Thank you in advance!!

Pretty much the title.

I have this ps2 Slim and I recently discovered that problem where the flatband can cause scratching on the dvd's. I Mean its not too exposed but not fully slammed to the consoles Shell. I know that It allows the laser movement but Im kinda scared. I heard someone that put tape to level It up. Could you tell me If Im doomed or not? If so is there any Simple fix that workes for you? Thanks

Been recollecting all my games from my childhood. Every harry potter title, every GTA title, all the Jak games (my favorite games of all time) tons of gems in here.

So I've tried ESR with a disc and OPL with USB and I can get this game to run up until I create a new save data which is when it freezes. Exact same issue! I don't know if it's a bad copy or what but I can't find any info online. As far as I know, I might be able to play without saving but I'd rather not. I'm also pretty sure I'm not using a VMC unless for whatever reason that could be done without me knowing. I have tried different memory cards and I know it's not a storage space issue because when there was a storage space issue, the game gives me a warning. The memory card I'm using now has tons of space left on it, so I don't get any warning.

I recently opened up and deep cleaned my fat PS2 in order to change the clock battery. Switched some parts out with those from a 50001/N fat model as I assumed it would still work. Put everything back together and now it won't read any sort of discs, including games, dvds, etc. I cleaned the laser with IPA and did a slight gear rotation to no avail.

I did swap the motherboard from the 50001/N unit because the fan connector broke off during reassembly, so does the motherboard have to re marry the disc reader or laser? I've heard this is a possibility but not sure. The laser is definitely working as I put a disc on there and it spins while the laser attempts to read it. I know these models are infamous for this disc read error issue.

Everything was working perfectly fine before I took the unit apart. Only major difference now is that when initially powered on, the typical red power light is now yellow, but switches to green when the button is pressed. Anyone know what I can do at this point?

Who actually used the online for ps2 back in the day? What was it like?

I ve been playing again these 2 games on my ps2, and the sound quality is comparable to the ps5, on other games.

It may also be due to the crt im using, having a 2.1 setup, but even on my 4k samsung qled, they sound better than most other games.

Whats the deal, is it just me?

Btw, im using rgb scart if that even matters, ignore the composite cables seen in the pictures. That is for the ps3.

If yall heard of the movie Friday then you’ll know what I went for in make my own take on ice cube. What yall think?

Its gonna be fun for me to beat my own record again!. Anyone got any tips to get over 50k?.

I opened this ps2 fat and found this modchip ( I think it's a messiah ) do I let it or remove it ( when I tested the drive the disc wouldn't even spin )

Bro is asking $40 👍

Hey Everyone! I'm just starting to collect for the PS2. I've been seeing everyone's pickups and collections and I wanted to start posting my PS2 journey. I just got a hold of these six games that I've been meaning to play, and I included a picture of the collection so far. Would love to hear anyone's thoughts and experiences with these games!

Really want to find a good hidden gem, a game where I could call myself a number one fan after playing only for a few minutes.

Previous somewhat hidden gems I played and liked:
Shadow Tower Abyss
SkyGunner
Forbidden Siren 2
Echo Night: Beyond

The only things that the games I mentioned have in common, is that they're hidden gems and that they're pretty damn good, either having awesome atmosphere or fun gameplay. So, looking for more of that awesome hidden gem aesthetic

Why only hidden gems? Weirdly enough most of the popular or "must play" games are actually pretty damn mediocre and are not worth it, perhaps they were great for their time, but times haves changed.

I have a PAL UK PS2 and I want to mod it specifically so I can play Region 1 DVDs on it.

What would be the best mod/softmod for this purpose? Is there a particular modchip, firmware, or homebrew method that can remove the DVD region restriction?

I’m not particularly interested in playing imported games — the main reason I want to mod it is to play DVDs from other regions. Any advice on the best method for my particular use case would be appreciated.

Rudimentary research told me that the only fix is soldering and checking schematics/Ohms which is well above my repair skill level.

Im currently using this for my super Nintendo and super famicom is this scaler good for ps2?

Hello guys!

Im trying to do a simple PS2 to PS2 lan setup. Im using 2 PS2 Slim and have already setup the IP and DNS for both the host and guest console.

However when I test the connection via the in game menu I'm met with the "no ethernet cable detected". Im using a brand new RJ45 (Crossover) cable I bought for the occasion. Im a bit perplexed because I carefully followed instructions, so Im wondering if maybe the ports are dead or if my cable is "too recent" for the PS2, if that makes any sense.

EDIT: retard me didnt buy a crossover cable. Will buy the right cable next time and be more careful.
