At long last we have a round that’s unlikely to annoy people, as thanks to allowing voters to vote off multiple games at once, we’ve ended up losing a bunch of sports games that I’ve never played.

holy good god is this a terrible game jesus christ. can no one do an equestrian game right?? any good recs for PS2?

pretty much the title, have been looking for this game and was so excited to find it for a good price, turns out the price was because it was scratched and untested. I don't have a ps2 with me to test it, so thought I'd turn to the experts and see what the consensus was on its possible playability. thanks for input! sorry if the video isn't very clear, most of the scratches look shallow and straight but there's a fair few of them 😔

Game cube has one I know they had to get rid of the moving disc tray for space but at lest give us a popper so we can keep finger prints and scratches off our discs

This is vague perhaps but I got a ps2 fat at a garage sale. I bought this to hook it up to my 4k tv. The picture is so incredibly dark. I can't see the game very well. What am I doing wrong? Don't judge me too hard. I'm new to this 😂

Can someone tell me how much storage do you get on a 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64 and 125MB Memory Card PS2? I am talking about the useable space on the card.

Found this guy for $10 at a local game shop. Seems to be a Japan only collection of the first three metal gears. I can’t find anything online about it and I don’t know enough about Japanese releases to tell if it’s a bootleg or something. Any ideas?

EDIT: just tried to play them and both discs don’t run on my fat boy. I guess there’s some regional restrictions or something. Still pretty cool to have though

I found this factory sealed PS2 for $350(yes it’s still brand new), and I am really excited to use it, knowing it’s nice and crisp. However, I’m starting to wonder if I should just hang onto it and get a used one?

hey guys! i was playing gregory horror show today (awesome spooky game btw) when my ps2 randomly lost power. it didn't even have a red light or anything, just nothing. however, when I unplug then plug the power cord back in, i can get the ps2 to work again. but then it eventually turns back off and i have to repeat the process. do you guys think it's just the power cord or some other hardware issue? anything i should try before buying a new cord?

So I've been thinking of buying a PS2 for awhile now and finally pulled the trigger. I'm currently on a Dreamcast journey to complete the full NA set, but also wanted to enjoy some PS2 games I miss. Not a fan of emulation and love the discs, booting up the systems and the controllers, which is why I torture my wallet.

But I do have a couple questions regarding the PS2, since I havent owned once since the PS3 had come out, and I also don't follow much of retro communities.

-Are there any mods for the PS2 that would be fun to add or tinker with? I know theres the free mcboot thing, but not referring to that. On the PS2 journey I'm really just going to buy the ones I miss playing or may not have had the chance to back in the day. I'm talking more like a wifi adapter, maybe some kind of LEDs to bling the system out, or maybe even just a fan swap or anything that may improve cooling or performance of the system in some way?

-Any must have accessories? Or is there a hands down top controller people recommend for the PS2? Or is it really just the good ol dualshock that reigns?

-Must play games? The system I purchased came with GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas. Also bought NFS Underground 2, Xenosaga, and Tony Hawk Underground 2. (plan on getting THUG1 and NFSU 1 eventually) Also plan on getting the other xenosagas.. when my wallet allows it lol

-Any preference between the fat and slim model? Do either tend to have a higher fail rate or anything? I had gone with the fat model for the sake of getting a PS3 eventually and just stacking it to conserve space. Something I can't do with the slim model with top disc load.

Went to browse the 4 for $20 deals and bailed on that plan when I saw this.

Not into collectathons, and I love games like Sly 1 in the sense that they don't force you go get the collectables to finish the game.

For example:

Sly 1: linear 3D platformer with collectables along the way. Not just looking for stealth.

What I'm not looking for:

Sly 2-4: Non linear mission-based game with many collect-a-thon elements. Not what I'm looking for.

Anyone else play this one? Please share your thoughts

Played the shit out of this game when I was 6 one of my earliest gaming memories.

Stumbled upon this locally and I have been looking for more ps2 RPGs for my collection, Star Ocean I have heard of but know little of, I could tell everything was in the box because of heft so it was hard to pass on for 15 with tax

Recently (re)acquired a ps2, mostly to play culdcept, that's going swell.

i am looking to acquire burnout 3 to play the crash mode, as i remember really enjoying that and katamari as i also remember having a lot of fun with that game as well.

Do you have any games that you would recommend that are what i guess i would call lower commitment and more so just fun to pick up and play on the ps2? I don't really have the patience (anymore) for a story per se

Hi everyone! Got it just today, and so excited. Im waiting for an hdmi adapter to arrive, but as far as I can tell, it turns on, fan and disc bay work.
Dude who sold it to me also included a DualShock 3 (???) and I’m not really sure what do to with it.
Now just gotta go to street markets and find some games, I accept any recommendations :)

Decided to get into retro gaming. The PS2 was my first console as a kid. Last week I picked up a PS2 Slim, a little 19" tv, and some speakers for the tv. Im loving it. So much nostalgia. And so many of the games held up so well. What games am I missing?

Hello all,

I thought I'd get a PS2 fat for nostalgia reasons as a birthday gift to myself.

I specifically want a fat, because that is what I played on as a kid.

I came across a SCPH-50004 PAL in very good condition near me. Is this a good model to collect? The guy who has it says he calibrated the laser and replaced the CMOS battery.

Or should I be looking out for a different model?

Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

im pretty sure they gonna love the lego games, ive also found ratchet gladiator that looks fun, what other split screen coop would kids around that age like for the ps2?

i recently got a hard drive and a network adapter clone and nothing can detect it

in wlaunchelf hdd manager, it says there isn't one connected and opl just gives me an error

im 99.9% sure the console just doesn't like the hard drive but i wanna make sure thats the reason before i drop more money on another hard drive when i could've used this one

so if anyone knows any sort of way to diagnose it that would be awesome ty
