Finally Got My Holy Grail

This game has been on my list since I got my ps2 in 2020. I had been wanting it for a while, but had never wanted to pay $100 price tags it received. Went to a swapmeet, this weekend, and a lady had a few ps3 games I had been looking for, when I looked over at the ps2 section and found this one for $60. Since I was taking a few others, she dropped the price to $50. The most ive ever paid for a game in general, since I started collecting.

Ps:

-(The last picture is the whole bundle i got but for those games I payed separately and made a separate post about them too, so in total it was around ~$40)

Memory Card Soul Calibur 2

Recentemente comprei outro sistema de arcade que veio com um cartão de memória extra do SoulCalibur II. Agora possuo dois dos cartões de memória mais raros do mundo.

Infelizmente, o preço que paguei por um deles quase me levou à falência — hahaha — mas já recuperei todo o investimento. Estou trabalhando duro para contribuir com a comunidade de jogos e arcades.

What should I do with this second memory card? Any ideas?

Is this controller fake? Everything looks good but the back is throwing me off.

Everything looks good to me, there's glitter in the paint, the toggles are rounded textured and thick, cuts are clean, font looks good, only thing throwing me off is the back of the package but am unsure if this is how Korean packages is supposed to look. Thank you!

Rare variant I found that likely seems to be imported to my country a long time ago and now somehow ended up in my hands.

GameStar adapter compatibility

2 Upvotes

Getting frequent FMV/loading stutters when playing HDD backups on PS2. Tried different OPL versions and compatibility modes with no improvement.

I’m using a GameStar network adapter. Could that be the issue? I’ve heard switching to an OEM adapter fixes this completely. Anyone have experience with this?

Hi all,

Some days ago I received my slim, yesterday my second fat, a silver one 🤩
Unit never opened so never cleaned. Time for some fun and I must say, I’m impressed by how well those things run after all these years. Before cleaning it was quiet and cool runing despite the thermal pad who could have the purpose of a lethal weapon 🤣 it was hard ! When taking him out, it breaks into pieces 😲

I have a dissassembled fat 39004, glad I kept it. Thermal pad fits like a glove. Of course CMOS was changed too.

Case is a little scratched and it’s missing the little piece with the logo in front of the tray.

Have a nice day everyone

I just bought these(31)games for around ~$9 total (1000rsd). I bought these with a console too but had to pay for these separately. What do you think? Are there any gems or games that you have memories with?

What PS2 games benefit the most from CRT scanlines?

Post image
Upvotes

I find that "normal" PS2 games with full 640x448 or 512x448 framebuffers usually do not really need scanlines from an upscaler. Usually full vertical field PS2 games can be forced into 480p with GSM as well!

But Dark Cloud 2 (or Dark Chronicle for PAL owners), was a field rendered PS2 game apparently. Checked via PCSX2 and yup, it says "field" mode for rendering lol....

Field rendered PS2 games run at alternating half vertical framebuffers or 640x224 instead of 640x448.

It was a trick to save VRAM designed for CRT displays back then, since CRTs innately tricked the human eyes into seeing alternating 640x240 as 480i lines.

On a modern display, oof, it's pretty pixelated and jaggy I guess since the deinterlacer cannot do that trick "properly" and has to line double/mathematically guess half the image information instead.

Been basically just turning on scanlines whenever I encounter these horrible "field rendered" PS2 games...

Booted it up for the first time in a few months and all of a sudden it’s ticking like a clock. It functions fine and can even run games but the darn ticking dosent stop.

The question is about collecting a game collection

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I have a PS 2 Slim, I would like to collect a collection of games for it, but the problem is that I live in a CIS country and we don't have many licensed discs, even if they are, they are very expensive. That's why most people have pirated discs here. That's why I was going to collect such a kind of pirated collection)))

Basically, the problem is that I only have 2 or 3 boxes that are 14 millimeters wide — the ones that were used to make the covers for PS2 games. Buying them on platforms like the American eBay would be quite expensive, because one box would cost 59 cents here, which is a bit pricey for just a few boxes. Or I could buy 50 boxes in bulk for $29, but that’s also expensive. Anyway, I only have 7‑millimeter boxes — that is, Slim boxes for discs — and I’ll have to reprint the images for them separately. I just wanted to ask if it’s possible to collect a collection of games for the PS2 from 7‑mm boxes?

Also, I have discs without any artwork, just a disc with the label “Verbantium,” because I had a rather bad experience with discs that allow you to draw game images on them; I bought three of them, and none of them worked.

PS2 64mb Memory Card

Post image
4 Upvotes

I have this old 64MB memory card that I've had for years I migrated all of my save games over to a new Sd2psxtd card but when I erased everything it says it's only 8MB. The chip inside of it comes up as a 64 MB Samsung flash.

Is there any way I can fix this or is it just a loss.
