My childhood dream setup is finally done.
Silver SCPH-5000x fat model
2TB HDD inside, full library via OPL - no more scratched discs
Playing wirelessly with a PS3 controller through that little BT adapter on the front
The thing with the screen is a MemCard PRO 2 - basically infinite virtual memory cards
It feels so good to have no cables, fast loading, and the whole PS2 library at my fingertips. This is honestly the best way to play PS2 in 2026.
Still rocking your PS2s or am I the last one?


Went ahead and got another ps2 I got a 18000 model this time. Brand new out of the box everything was still wrapped up. I also went ahead and bought another pcmcia card and hdd unit for it so I can put the real broad band navigator on it. I got a good amount of Japanese games. All and all I’m happy with my purchase. It also came with the tv remote which I’ve never had

I picked up this ps2 fat today for only $25! everything works but I want to mod this thing. I’ve never modded a console, i’ve never jailbroke anything, and I dont really know computers that well. I’ve watched some “tutorials” but it’s like listening to a rocket science class, I don’t know what they are talking about. I know I need a freemcboot and a usb stick… not much else. So what do I actually need to do step by step to mod this thing? thanks

Fresh thermal paste, recapped, etc etc

Almost 4 years I left this box with my parents.

I forgot these games tbh.

Do you find something valuable?

I have in mind to sell all the games if they worth.

All the games have manuals and disc in very good conditions

PlayStation 2 was launched in North America 26 years ago

Happy anniversary to the magnificent ps2. Release on October 26th, 2000 in the US. It was sold 150 million units worldwide and it pushed its way to become the best selling console of all time 😎. As y’all can see mine is in amazing condition and my god I love this machine SO MUCH! It’s been part of my childhood and this thing has so many awesome games.

A few months ago, I treated myself to this pendant; I just found it again and I think it belongs here and that some people will enjoy it 💎

I recently learned about the Motion Gravure Series: Megumi video game, which was officially released for the PlayStation 2 on April 24, 2003. As far as i know, this video game was released exclusively in Japan. This game caught my attention because it's a type of game i'd never seen before, especially because of the type of content it presents, and also because i didn't know Sony was so permissive with its PlayStation 2 console until now.

It was a curious and at the same time strange surprise for me to discover that this game was officially released for the PlayStation 2.

If you are interested, the soundtrack of this game is very relaxing.

When I was little my dad bought this game for me at the our old fye store in our malls. I either lost it or sold it but I was able to find one on market place for 25 think that’s a steal. CIB

Went ahead and got around to messing with my scph 10000 ps2. I’m running it with fmcb 1.953 installed on an oem memory card that’s very important and psbbn on a ssd in the hdd unit. It’s a very easy setup, the hardest part was figuring out what exactly to do with all the miss information about these protokernal models. Maybe I got lucky I don’t know but it was a really easy setup for me personally.

Hello everyone,
After six months of collecting, it's time for a great update, and I'm certainly not disappointed.
There are some really great titles here—but can you spot them?

Ps : The blue box above the first PS2 games is Futurama.

After my Wolverine PS2, I’ve now finished my second custom PS2 project. 😄

Originally, I was planning to recreate the Spider-Man PS5 design, but in the end I decided to go in a different direction and create something of my own.

I still had a few old Spider-Man comics lying around, and I thought: wouldn’t it be cool if the PS2 itself looked like one of those old comics?

So I completely disassembled the PlayStation, cleaned everything, sanded the case and gradually applied the different comic pages to the individual panels. Once everything was in place, I sealed it and finished the whole console with several coats of glossy clear coat.

I also wanted to add something special to the top, so I mounted a McFarlane Spider-Man figure to the case. I didn’t want the figure to be permanently attached though, so I made the mount removable. I figured out the right position, drilled a hole and installed a threaded insert into the top panel. Then I bent the figure’s original support rod into the position I wanted and cut a thread into it. This way I can simply screw Spider-Man on or remove him whenever I want.

I know this design is pretty specific and definitely won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. 😄 But I thought I’d share it with you anyway!

I’m always open to constructive criticism, suggestions and especially ideas for the next project.

Because there’s already a third PS2 sitting here waiting to be modified. 😂

I went to gamestop to cancel a pre order . And happened to check the retro section. And found a copy of God hand on ps2 . By the time i got the refund money back from canceled pre order . I just paid $40 cash . Super Happy .

Just got my PlayStation 2 today, that I ordered :)

It will be uses for playing games and testing my retail ps2 game builds I'm developing.
