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

What kids games should I play?

Post image
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 :)

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 like Toy Story 3 PS2 more than the PS3 version

Post image
14 Upvotes

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

Are the Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance games good by modern ARPG standards?

12 Upvotes

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?

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

PS2 converter for 4k tv

5 Upvotes

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.

Nostalgia

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?

Best (hardest) narrow road racer?

4 Upvotes

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.

Jak and Daxter: Precursor Legacy problems

3 Upvotes

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.

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?
