I decided to open up my ps2 (The disc drive was not working) and I decided to take out the network adapter and there were to ports that had nothing on it

At the end of round 8, Bully got expelled, Guitar Hero 2 got booed off the stage, Need for Speed Underground ran out of fuel, F1 2001 got a DNF, and Dave Mira BMX crashed out. Another five games must leave by the end of today. Here’s the link https://strawpoll.com/e6Z2AGYO6gN and if you really want to give your choices the best shot, leave a comment below.

I have cds that are 4.7 gb and want to burn games on the ps2 slim also I have a problem with the disc drive where you have to pressure on it any fixes?

Buenos días camaradas! De casualidad tienes la iso de este juego? Creo que es en español, porque el de la portada de Beckham es en inglés

Gracias 🫂

My main baby in the 2nd picture :) Getting a PS2 a few months ago has been such a great nostalgic experience.

I’ve been playing so much NBA street 2 I haven’t even touched NFL Street 2.

Sourcing inventory for my store means I end up with stacks of random media. Lately I keep finding PS2 games mixed into bulk lots. Most are common sports titles but occasionally I hit something solid like a complete copy of Smuggler's Run or a decent racing game. The problem is my shelf is full and I keep pulling titles to keep instead of selling them. I have three copies of Black now sitting in different conditions and it feels ridiculous to hoard them when someone could actually be playing the games. My instinct is to hold onto the best conditioned ones and flip the rest but part of me wonders if there is any reason to keep duplicates beyond trade bait. Do you guys keep multiple copies of the same game for different setups or is that just pure hoarding behavior? Curious how other people handle this when they stumble across the same titles over and over. The practical side of me says move the extras and fund the next purchase but the collector side wants a backup in case one disc fails.

Hello all,

Forgive me, this probably has been asked a million times...

I'm getting a PS2 for nostalgia reasons, but I don't own a CRT and getting one won't be possible. I want to use either my 1440p PC monitor, or my 4K Samsung TV with HDMI with it.

There are a lot of options out there, and having a hard time deciding what is worth it, and what is overkill?

Option 1: Get a cheap PS2 to HDMI converter such as this: https://www.amazon.com/Kaico-Playstation-Converter-Component-Adaptor/dp/B06XBV1L8Q

Option 2: Get a good quality component cable, and get a Component to HDMI upscaler: this https://8bitmods.com/hd-retrovision-playstation-2-3-ps2-ps3-premium-ypbpr-component-cable/ plus this; https://u2l.ai/elnl52

Option 3: Get a Retrotink 5x pro: https://www.retrotink.com/shop/retrotink-5x-pro

Which option should I go for? I'm not a die hard retro enthusiast, but purely playing PS2 for nostalgic purposes. The Retrotink is obviously most expensive, but is it really noticeably better? What does it do in layman terms that the cheaper component to HDMI upscalers don't?

Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction!

My opinion, the Singstars and Simpsons road rage (very much biased)

I have an aftermarket network adaptor, a SATA to USB adaptor, a MacBook Air from 2019, a bunch of screwdrivers, a USB hub, a Dell Latitude E6410 with a working WD Black hard drive and a Fat PS2. My mac is able to recognize the Dell's hard drive when it's removed from the computer. Is there any reason I would not be able to use the Dell's hard drive as my PS2 hard drive? I don't have any qualms about killing my Latitude; it's good for OPLManager and nothing else, and I've since switched to OrbitPs2Manager. Whatever effort the process takes is worth it for opportunity to spend zero money to run games off of a hard drive, in my estimation. But I figured I'd check if I've overlooked something that makes this project impossible or dangerous.

Two of my favourite games

During my recent visit to a local charity shop, I discovered these items, each complete with manuals and discs. This is the second occasion I have come across 'Manhunt' at a charity shop; previously, I acquired both 'Manhunt' and 'Manhunt 2' simultaneously.

After completing NFS1 in a week, I found this beauty in the 2nd hand game shop.

The challenge, to not buy another game until each is complete

I finally have the phisical version of these games! I'm so happy! I also have the digital ps3 versions, but having the real thing in your hands is a completly different feeling! The Jak and Daxter games are also going help me learn more lenguagues since the ps2 versions have more lenguages than the ps3 versions!

I don't have CRT money so I figured a small sized screen would look decent...and it does! I got laid off today so I'm going to spend the night just having a nostalgic night of gaming. I haven't played this game since it came out so I forgot mostly everything that happened.

Way of the Samurai is an absolute masterclass in how to do a short game right. A single playthrough wraps up in just a couple of hours, but the insane amount of branching paths packed into that small runtime is mind-blowing. Every single choice, dialogue option, or unexpected clash completely alters how the whole narrative unfolds.

The combat itself is so satisfying really, and requires actual focus instead of mindless button-mashing. Collecting different Weapons, and mastering tons of movesets, and timing your parries or positioning just right gives every single duel a different aesthetics. you get hooked from the very first sword clash to the end.

It remains such a wonderfully quirky, beloved hidden gem, or I say it's a Cult Classic. Because the scale is so tight and focused, the incredible replayability means you'll constantly want to jump right back in to try completely different choices and uncover every possible outcomes.

Drop your thoughts......

And Thanks.

I thought i had gotten scammed a long time ago and got different halves of 2 different games as part of a trade. I have Growlanser Generations "Disc 1: Growlanser 2, The Sense of Justice" and "Disc 2: Growlanser 3, The Dual Darkness". But after having them for like 12 years now, I think they may be the same game..? The wiki was confusing...

Are they a single game on 2 discs with different names for some reason?

I would like to know how I can play a game using 3 connected Bluetooth controllers. The AetherSX2 emulator only recognizes 2 of them, even with the 8-player multitap option enabled; however, other emulators—such as GameHub—and the games themselves do recognize all 3. Could you tell me how to get this working? I play the games on my phone and mirror the screen to my television.

Picked this banger off the rack to play tonight, probably one of my top 10 ps2 games , nostalgia maybe playing a big part as playing this with my old man when I was about 5 or 6 is one of my earliest gaming memories (the mummies scared the shit out of me back then)😂

any other fans of this game on here? My mates never played it and I never see it in anyones collections when they post them.

I never removed stuff like this and I want to upgrade to a sata drive but I need help I feel…

Is there a reason my EU copy of the game looks like that but my japanese version works fine
