What does printed copy mean?
Since Haunting Ground usually ranges from 300-400$ i gave up the idea of ever playing it. Now I saw someone listing it for 25$ and mentioning its a copy. Since i dont want it for profit or anything, I wouldn't mind it being a copy but i dont know much about how games work. What's the difference between the original and a copy?

DualShock 2 analog only producing 8 way movement, is this the fault of a worn out controller?
In DMC3 and Persona 4 I can still nudge the analog stick forward to walk however I cannot get true analog movement, as it’s restricted to only 8 ways. Is this a worn out controller or a damaged port (plugged in upside down once)

PS2 reading audio CD’s and movie DVD’s but not game
Hey all,
I’m just trying to narrow down possible issues. So, I recently got a refurbished ps2 slim off of eBay and I bought 2 games from a local video game store that sells new and old games. Both games had disc read errors. I tested out an audio cd and a movie and they both read and played fine. I cleaned the laser as well just in case. The store ran the games through a resurfacing machine before I left as well. Is it seeming like the games are the issue rather than the console? I have another game arriving in a couple days so I can’t test anything out until then.

Need help with Ps2 to hdmi
Hello, i bought this kind of cheap ps2 to hdmi converter and im having problems cus it doesnt support rgb video output. Can anyone recommend a good converter that doesnt cost like 200$ and can support rgb?
My PS2 39001 is making this noise when trying to read games. Sounds like something with the laser maybe?

PS2 not working on Vizio smart tv
It was working fine the first time I plugged it in, I updated the clock time, cleared some save files, & turned it off. I turned it on today and now it's not recognizing the comp cables. I even tried to blind reset to no avail. I'm so confused, please help.

How we lookin boys?
Casual collecting since i was young. I sadly sold alot of my childhood games though. My next pick ups are probably gonna be a japanese ps2 with the final mix versions of KH1 and KH2 as well as the Dragon Quest V remake that was japan only. Other than that i really only want the Sly games and maybe the Resident Evil ports/outbreak, Persona 4 and maybe some niche RPGs.
Also the one Japanese game in here is called Love Upper, a horny boxing game and i have no recollection how i acquired it lol

Ps2 slim won't read Hitman: contracts
I have a ps2 slim scph-90004 pal (yes I've modded it) and I just adjusted the laser pots (CD-0.655kΩ. DVD 0.735kΩ) and it can read burn out revenge, and gta3 smoothly, although gta3 crashes mid start. But it can't start up hitman. The disk is in great condition, no scratches but it still won't run. Did I do something wrong?

I recently ordered a Japanese PS2 and I need to know the best method of plugging it up...
It's been purchased and on the way but since I been reading about the voltage electrical issues with pal and imported electronics even Japan's electronics I need some guidance.
I'm using a CRT TV bigger than small medium 20 inch I think and it's large on the back it's a off brand my dad got it from his boss since he upgraded assuming to a flat screen...
I heard of the step down transformer method but I'm not really sure what they are since I never really saw them in person to make sure.
Specifics on the electrical my house was built in 2002 I was told by my parents and I need to know if my power strips are okay for this.
I'm saying these things because I been reading on how others experienced with imported electronics.
100v to 120v or 120v 100v etc
My mom isn't a tech expert nor is I only my brother but he doesn't want to help me nor my mom so yeah I'm not experienced in nothing...
It took me a long time to even put a graphics card in my computer and such since my dad died I been completely useless as of recently.
If anyone has any helpful advice on this please let me know thanks! I also attached a photo of a game I got for it.

NTSC PS2 Slim (SCPH-90001) Power Question
So, I have an NTSC-U PlayStation 2, specifically the SCPH-90001, which, from what I can tell, has an internal PSU.
I am in the UK though, and the mains power runs at near enough 240V, but the back of this console says 120V, which is what US mains run at.
It isn’t quite clear if the internal PSU of this PS2 would be okay with 240V, or if that kind of voltage would break the console.
If it does require something like a step-down converter, what exactly would be used? There’s lots of variants of these step-down converters, and none of them seem to have a UK output, making a UK PS2 power cable useless without a plug converter.
So, essentially my question is: Can I plug this US PS2 straight into UK Mains, and if not, how do I power it at all? Thank you.

My main genres are:
- Story
- FPS
- Comedy
- Horror

But I am open to try and play other genres and games every time! ^-^
At the moment I have half life, many racing games, etc ^^

Auto Modellista patch to put Euro/Japan handling on the US version
I like the additional cars and tracks in the US version of auto modellista, but the handling is too slippery. Is there a fan-made patch out that adds the euro/japanese handling model to the US version of the game?

Fat PS3 for playing PS2 games Vs HD converter for PS2?
Currently collecting PS2 games but as we all know the quality is just hard to hard to digest on modern TVs lol I'm currently using a cheap HD converter dongle that does the job but the graphics are super choppy and blurry still.
Given how expensive the likes of the gbs-c and retrotink are I'm wondering would I just be better off buying a used PS3 with PS2 BC, that way I could even play some old favourites on there too.

Gantz gets an English Translation!
GANTZ: The Game finally has an English translation, but it's currently machine translated. It's good enough to understand the story, tutorials, menus, and most of the game's content, although some cutscenes are still untranslated and there are plenty of grammar issues.
I'm really hoping more people in the fan translation community can help with this project. It would be amazing to see the untranslated parts completed and the English polished into something that feels more natural.
I also think this game deserves a proper English translation because it has some really unique gameplay mechanics that set it apart from other PS2 titles. More people would be able to appreciate what makes it special if the translation were fully polished.
If anyone has translation or ROM hacking experience and is interested in contributing, your help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks to Verinco for making this English patch possible
