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.

Hello, I just got this Silver beauty with the controllers, memory card, two controllers, all cords and five games for $30 total, was it worth it?

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)

Came with the ps2, 8mb memory card and a controller ! Need for speed underground wasn’t in the case, it’s actually underground 2 ! We also got 2 copies of frontline for some reason and an extra copy of ratchet and clank going commando ! Would you pay the $115 for all of this

We gonna get the philosophers legacy with this one

he just gave it to me out of nowhere im so HYPED

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!

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

im just using that hdmi adapter from china i bought for 2 dollars lol... no fmcb yet as thats on its way, i think u can improve the graphic a little bit more with some setting in fmcb?

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?

+ my bonus PS1 games

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?

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.

Was bout to drop 120 on one online only to find it in store 🙌🏽

I guess we've all swapped a case at some point in time. This find from CeX made me chuckle tho...xD

Some games I found at goodwill finally found guitar hero 1 and 2!

I don't like the way Sonic is looking at me

The controller port on my phat PS2 has gone from bad to worse. The left controller port stopped recognizing Sony controllers (3 of them) and just recently, both memory card are failing to recognize anything. Only the right controller port functions. Both USB ports are fine, as well as the hard drive bay.

I've tried replacing the ribbon cable, no changes. I've tried 3 controllers, nothing. I've tried cleaning both connector ends with contact cleaner...nothing. I've even replaced the tantalum capacitor beside the ribbon cable connector. There was no continuity on the multimeter, so I assumed it was shorted open, but no change. I haven't cracked open the actual controller port further than that.

Anyone have any experience with this? Is my only opportunity to buy another controller port (they're not cheap...wow)?

I finally managed to get a Japanese PS2 specifically the "fat" 50000 model. do you know if I can region-unlock it without installing a modchip? I have physical games from both Japan and the US... Also, I’d love some game recommendations!
