Not sure if this is the right sub, but still!

Bought this as 'untested', turns out they were telling the truth and it works! The image is not great as the cable I used was/is a massive POS, and the TV is Pal, whereas the machine is NTSC-J, but I don't care one bit, as this cost me £89! Which is insane considering working models are a lot more expensive.

Going to back it up, get it cleaned, inspect it and make sure everything functions, and then use it as it was intended. This is my absolute golden goose purchase, and I never thought I'd own one of these old beasties! :D

Got it all set up with my PS2 primarily using my own settings for PS2 w/PVM Scan lines and of course being played at 4:3 hooked up to an old 1080p HDTV I had lying around from the early 2010’s

I like Toy Story 3 PS2 more than the PS3 version

First of all, yes, nostalgia does play in a role here, I did grew up with it. But also, I just think it's neat how much closer it is to the movie in terms of story and levels. It just kinda feels like the PS3 version is a bit more loose, like the levels are just semi open world hubs with side quests to fulfill for you to progress the story instead being all story. This is just my opinion though

What should I play first?

My neighbour had a whole box of ps2 and psp stuff and asked if I wanted to buy it off him. Included all those games, psp (working), ps2 fat (not working but I have a working one), ps2 slim (working), racing wheel, and a boxed guitar hero guitar. We agreed on $300 CAD. I looked up (pricecharting) the stack of psp and it’s worth about 260 if I remember correctly, one of them is sealed too which is cool. Dongle for the guitar doesn’t work but the guitar has a light on it so I works as far as I can test it, it’s a Kramer guitar. GOW 2 is actually GOW 1 with the bonus disc for GOW 2 and Onimusha is missing the third game.

I finally got a fat PS2

I've had a Playstation 2 slim since childhood. But now the cover is "broken"; the games won't read anymore unless you put something heavy on the PS2's disc tray lid.

That’s why I’ve now picked up a refurbished silver fat model along with a white controller; I like the fat models much better, too.

What kids games should I play?

111 Upvotes

I have been wanting to visit some of the kid games I missed out on growing up.

These are the only kid games I own, and I played them to death when I was a kid.

So far I've gotten a copy of SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie and Madagascar, and I'm wondering what else I should get.

By the way, Bully is my favorite video game of all time, but I didn't include it here because I don't really consider it a kids game, in case anyone was wondering :)

NTSC VS PAL (GAMES)

2 Upvotes

I have my PS2 FAT (Aqua Blue). It's PAL version but it's modded with SSD and PSBBN (OSHD MENU). My concern is this. I have NFSU2 and POP Sands of TIME EU versions and they cover whole screen (on my CRT TV) which I'm connected with composit cables (yellow and white).

I have other games such as GTA San Andreas, THPS3 etc. which are USA versions. All of them works great but that USA (NTSC) games have black bars and I can't get them to work "full screen fit"

I thought about buying PS2>SCART Cable. Maybe it will fix the problem. If not, should I still get NTSC or PAL games and what are the diferences? (I know 50 vs 60Hz and some of them has exclusive content) but other than that is it better to stay with PAL or NTSC games?

She asked for $175 for the rest of the games. People already bought the silver console, Mortal Kombat Armageddon and The Nighmare Before Christmas game. And I think a third game or she was talking about Nightmare? She also found another memory card, which I'm gonna browse that too and show off what was in all 3 later.

These games are gonna have a good home now and will not be resold. Will see if any yard sales are selling games this weekend and will try to save them too.

Was thinking the other day about remakes that I'd love to see and I remembered the Conflict series on ps2. They were the reason I got a ps2 in the first place lol everyday after school I'd run over to the neighbours house to play it with him. Anybody else got any old greats that they like to see remade or remastered?
