A little bit about the console
Story:
Sony PlayStation 2, PS2 is the second game console released by Sony, the heir of the PlayStation and the predecessor of the PlayStation 3. The start of development was announced in March 1999, the sale of the console in Japan began on March 4, 2000, in North America - October 26, 2000 in Europe - November 24, 2000, in Russia - November 7, 2002.

Game console of the sixth generation, which has become the fastest-selling and most popular game console in history. In the third quarter of 2011, nearly 155 million PS2 units were sold worldwide.

On December 28, 2012, production in Japan was discontinued, and on January 4, 2013, Sony confirmed that PS2 production was discontinued worldwide. Thereby, PS2 was produced for almost 13 years, it is one of the longest life cycles in the history of the gaming industry.

The first three editions of the PlayStation 2 (models SCPH-10000, SCPH-15000 and SCPH-18000) were sold only in Japan and did not have the Dev9 expansion port, which is in the current PlayStation 2 models, instead of it was the PCMCIA port. For these models, the PCMCIA to Dev9 adapter was released. SCPH-10000 and SCPH-15000 did not have a built-in player for playing DVDs; instead, the encrypted player was copied to the memory card from the included CD. V3 was significantly different from previous models in its internal structure, it had several interconnected printed circuit boards. Starting with V4, everything except the power supply was placed on one board. There were minor internal changes in V5. The only change in V6 (sometimes called V5.1) was the position of the leads leading to the power / reset button - this was done to combat the use of mod chips. V7 and V8 were also very similar. With version V9 (SCPH-50000 / SCPH-50001), the PlayStation 2 assembly was moved to China, an infrared port was added for the DVD remote control, the FireWire port was removed, the ability to read DVD-RW and + RW disks was added, and progressive scan was added for DVD and a less noisy fan. V10 and V11 had small changes.



Slim version

In September 2004, Sony introduced the third major version of the set-top box (V12, model SCPH-70000) - much smaller, thinner, quieter than the old version. In addition, the new model has an integrated Ethernet port. In some regions, the model also had a built-in modem. Due to the small size, the expansion slot was excluded from the new model; thereby, compatibility with the internal hard drive from the previous model was lost, but this did not stop soldering the IDE 70xxx cable to the CXD9731AGP / CXD9731GP microcircuit. The power supply from the internal has become external. This edition went on sale in November 2004.
The appearance of incompatibility with the hard drive has been criticized because there were several games (such as Final Fantasy XI) that required a hard drive; it was also required by the official PS2 Linux package. The MultiTap extension for SCPH-70000 has also undergone changes. Currently, Sony is only selling the new MultiTap model, which means that the owners of the old PlayStation 2, if they want to play with four or even a larger company, must find a used MultiTap or take a MultiTap from another manufacturer. It was also possible to purchase adapters from third-party manufacturers for connecting a hard drive, but the ability to connect to the IDE was completely removed in the V14 edition.
In 2006, Sony released the V15 (SCPH-77001a and SCPH-77001b), the first time they went on sale in Japan on September 15, 2006, then in North America and other parts of the world.
Since July 2007, Sony has begun to deliver a new edition of the thin PlayStation 2 Slim - V16 (SCPH-79000) weighing 600 grams (compared to 900 grams in the SCPH-77001 model); the weight of the power supply was also reduced to 250 grams (350 grams in the previous edition). The next edition of the V17 (SCPH-90000) was announced for sale in Japan on November 22, 2007, with a revised interior design, which this time included the power supply, resulting in a total console weight of 720 grams

I did not find an active topic about PS2. Created.

Interested in this question: where can I buy licensed games? Not in online stores, although if you bought there, then you can specify them.




Rep: (78)
In Eldorado saw a couple. And in all kinds of electronics markets.

Vorosh, is it in Dolgoprudny?
I was told that there are games in M.Video. I looked, I searched, but, unfortunately, there were no games in St. Petersburg.

I know a couple of shops in St. Petersburg:
- GameZone on Bucharest
- Republic of games (Mega, Dybenko)



Rep: (5)
Interesting yet?

We (in Yaroslavl) only in El Dorado have a couple of pieces left. If you do not want to order, you should look for shops with used games. There may be quite normal stale. Well, or Avito.

Interesting yet?

Of course interesting! Recently I bought a PS2 chip. Very interesting console with exclusives.



Rep: (1355)
I can link to links how to connect to a VGA monitor by spending no more than 50 rubles on the details ...;)

but if there is a TV set and is connected via a component cable (5 tails of which), then you can count nothing and it will not change .... unless you have to force progressive scan on in games even if the game doesn’t know how ...

Guys, I bought a PS2 90008 in cellophane. I can’t find any games in my town. I'm thinking chipanut. Can you tell me the current and best chip for chipmod?



Rep: (204)
* Manless at the moment it is better to take ps3 stitched - you can play ps1, ps2, ps3, psp there
Modbo 4 bet, like I had this on ps2, or a newer version, Modbo 5 seems to allow USB games to run from USB drives

Hello!
Carried out the place of childhood - took Sonya 2 and chipanula it.
Everything would be fine, but there is one thing - in a more beautiful (crash bandicoot) game at the bottom of the screen is cut off - a black bar.
What could it be?
The master said - it depends on the TV, but I tried on different ones - the result is the same.
Does this somehow rule? master error?
Thank you so much!

version of the console? (PAL / NTSC?)
version of the game? (PAL / NTSC?)



Rep: (5)
* cooler.nvkz,
written on the box box pal.
and in games as I understand it NTSC (http://rutracker.org/f...ewtopic.php?t=3054400)
And this is fundamentally important?



Rep: (1355)
PAL image576 linesin NTSC480 lines.... plus NTSC-game on a PAL-console (and vice versa) can produce different glitches ...

How does it even look on TV then?



Rep: (5)
Uncomfortable, the screen is so small, so another piece cut off ... A little later I will send a photo.
And how can you get around this? Fix?

* Elinbssinos
In the settings of the chip, you can pokolovatsya. you need to know what you have for the chip, google it up accordingly, how to enter its menu, and there you can already see what is in the output signal settings.



Rep: (5)
Sad! I am not capable of such feats!



Rep: (476)
* Elinbssinos
It’s really easy as a matter of fact. Find out which buttons start your chip's menu on startup and check the settings in this menu.



Rep: (5)
So, the promised pictures:
I will say right away, I never managed to configure without a strip, no matter how I changed the chip settings)

Are the games exactly 4: 3? judging by the pictures - it broadcasts at 16: 9 (widescreen, like all new TVs) .... or something strongly climbs up the screen?



Rep: (7)
* Elinbssinos
Try to enable the function Y Screen Fix in the chip setup



Rep: (7)
My console sometimes does not want to read the faces of the game, that is, I insert the disc and it swears that the disc cannot be read, and after many attempts the game finally loads, but does it read the pirated discs instantly, is the problem in the laser? CDs read excellent, but DVDs with problems, but some dits.diski reads without problems
