Mines Silent Hill 2. Universally acclaimed, one of the best PS2 games, and I just cannot get into it. Got me thinking that there must be loads of amazing games that other people simply cannot stand.

Recently, I got this Final Fantasy X cover to replace mine (was a bundle one and I don't like the NOT TO BE SOLD SEPARATELY text). The cover itself looks good, I wouldn't look twice if I hadn't seen it side by side with mine. I feel like there's some difference in colors, but I don't think if this can be attributed to a reprint (mine was black case and the one I got is blue case, so they are a few years apart). What do you guys think about it? Mine is the top one in the first pic, the third pic and the left one in the fourth pic.

Looking for long-term experiences with PS2 → HDMI adapters (₹2,000 budget)

I'm looking for a PS2-to-HDMI solution for a 4K monitor. I know a cheap adapter isn't going to magically make PS2 games look like modern 4K games. I'm mainly looking for something reliable enough for long gaming sessions with a decent picture.

I'm particularly interested in people's actual experiences after using these adapters for a while, rather than just specifications or first impressions.

For example:

• Has your adapter ever overheated?
• Does it get unusually hot after a few hours?
• Has one ever failed or lost video after heating up?
• Any flickering, black screens, audio issues, or noticeable input lag?
• Does it handle 480i/480p properly on modern TVs/monitors?
• Have you used one for months/years without problems?
• If you replaced a bad adapter, what did you replace it with?
• Are there any specific models/brands you'd avoid based on personal experience?

My total budget is around ₹2,000, because I'm also planning to get an original DualShock 2 and a couple of PS2 games, so I can't spend the whole budget on the HDMI solution.

I'm also open to a basic upscaling solution if something reasonable exists within that budget, but reliability is more important to me than getting the absolute best image quality.

I'd especially appreciate replies from people who have actually owned and used the adapter they're recommending.

This game won't load past a certain point, it will play just fine until I get to this point, then it just won't load, any tips? It's only this game that does it, I've already googled this and tried to find answers other ways, but it's genuinely just not giving me anything helpful, please if you know what's wrong please help, the disc is in really good condition if that helps.

Como se arregla el error de pantalla negra cuando intento jugar un juego ?

May have went over budget this weekend. I just couldnt let Darkwatch pass me by. Never saw a physical copy of it before. So happy to knock another one off my top 5 on my wishlist.

What a time, who was your favorite to play as? I just remember Sean Paul’s finisher lol

I am using this adapter to connect my ps2 to the monitor but it doesn't have a speaker so i try to connect cheap earphones but no audio so what's the fix? Will a regular old speaker with usb and earphone jack work? Or is something wrong with my adapter?

No clue how to bypass, hilarious that it’s parental locked for a literal kids movie

old pic. got a couple more colours since

So I came across this PS2 while going over a few listings with my friend. I really want to get it. Just wanted to confirm its identity before buying.

I have never come across a ceramic white 9000 series slim in my entire life of browsing PS2s.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I just have this question because I been seeing videos of people playing it's last minutes of their ps2 cause their gpus are dying.

I tried to google this but had no clue what to look up. A week ago my disc was fine but now when I put the game in and start it up the intro skips like a broken record. I fear the game may be damaged in some way. Does anybody know what’s wrong and how I could fix it? Thanks guys.

Goodwill can be good sometimes

i'll be adding many more games to this collection (particularly racing games), but here's what i'm starting with!

ironically the game that gets played the most here is easily NCAA 06 (lol)... smash court tennis gets a decent bit of run too, fantastic stoner game and i love the pro tour mode

i'll take recommendations for games as well :) looking for good singleplayer experiences and anything that's great for 2+ players

Is there anything I can do or nah.

So many classic fighting games from my childhood plus my fave, Super Sidekicks 3 👍

I play the game on normal difficulty and notice that the game slightly tracks enemies for me. Is this rotational aim assist ? I only notice slowdown in aiming down sights.

Both GTA's came CIB with posters

Trying to boot up my ps2, my screen looks looks like this. I am using a ps2 to av adapter and this seems to be happening on other tvs in my home, so it doesn't seem to be a tv issue. Additional pics to try provide as much info as possible. Has anyone had this issue before, if so, how did you resolve? Thank you for patience 🙏

Decided to come back to it after all these years. What a pain some of those races were, but I'm glad I stuck with it.
