i'm trying to find a proper ps2 hdmi converter that looks accurate to what youd get on a TV with native AV support. for now i can only afford this cheap PS2toHDMI converter but i cant help but notice the colors look really harsh and inaccurate. i played silent hill 2 especially and i swear it looked purple from trying to handle the dark environments.

what are some recommendations for a relatively accurate converter? im not a picky person so im not looking for super expensive upscalers like retrotink or anything. would be very happy to get an answer

I finally finished up the PS2 Clock I've been working on.

It works on most devices.

Let me know what you think!

At the end of the last round, Fight Night Round 2 got knocked out, FFXI levelled down, FFX2’s girl’s night out came to a crashing halt, Colin McRae Rally 3 broke down (RIP to the real life legend) and Aggressive Inline….I have no idea for a pun here, I’ve actually never heard of it before this contest.

Here’s today’s strawpoll. https://strawpoll.com/ajnE1lYo9nW this one works today, I promise.

The game shows the logo then fades to black saying reading memory card. Would love to find out what happend

Took this picture at my store and figured it was a little too saucy for the store account 😅

Went to a collectibles show and ended up finding Black and Tomb Raider for $10 each CIB, been wanting Black for a while and I thought I’d get started on Tomb Raider as well, nice little pickups

Here it is, the game that left the most impression of when I was a kid, for some reason the battle theme(taste the blood)still remains in my head rent-free ever since booting this game back in 2010

Absolutely the best game I've played on the ps2, up there with snake eater, re4 and bully, every about this game is amazing in my opinion, my only gripe is the sometimes messy fixed camera and being limited to only 2 weapons and one style.my playthrough became so much easier when I accepted that I'm more of a trickster guy than a royalguard guy, went from dying alot from bosses to only needing a few tries, the only ones I actually struggled with was Vergil

Imma try dmc1 some other time then just....maybe 2 as well.

I thought i had gotten scammed a long time ago and got different halves of 2 different games as part of a trade. I have Growlanser Generations "Disc 1: Growlanser 2, The Sense of Justice" and "Disc 2: Growlanser 3, The Dual Darkness". But after having them for like 12 years now, I think they may be the same game..? The wiki was confusing...

Are they a single game on 2 discs with different names for some reason?

I bought Midnight Club 3 and it came with a strange disc. What could that be? Is it legit?

Is there a reason my EU copy of the game looks like that but my japanese version works fine

Hi All, I've been gifted this PS2 slim, and it get power to the controllers but port 1 doesn't register anything, and port 2 will only work/register movement on startup. I've tried to iso clean and had a good look for anything obvious but still scratching my head. USB ports appear to be powered fine too. Any ideas? Apologies for photos, not the best.

Was thinking of an AV to HDMI but I’ve seen other people say that it isn’t great

What adapter or cable should I get

Picked this banger off the rack to play tonight, probably one of my top 10 ps2 games , nostalgia maybe playing a big part as playing this with my old man when I was about 5 or 6 is one of my earliest gaming memories (the mummies scared the shit out of me back then)😂

any other fans of this game on here? My mates never played it and I never see it in anyones collections when they post them.

My main baby in the 2nd picture :) Getting a PS2 a few months ago has been such a great nostalgic experience.

I’ve been playing so much NBA street 2 I haven’t even touched NFL Street 2.

I have Mechapwn installed on my Pal PS2, but my last one, a slim, after running a PS1 game, made the screen permanently squished. What am I doing wrong? I just need help before I compromise another PS2.

I would like to know how I can play a game using 3 connected Bluetooth controllers. The AetherSX2 emulator only recognizes 2 of them, even with the 8-player multitap option enabled; however, other emulators—such as GameHub—and the games themselves do recognize all 3. Could you tell me how to get this working? I play the games on my phone and mirror the screen to my television.

Two of my favourite games

As the name suggests I have installed a Modbo 5 both in a PAL 39003 & 30003R, both of which have stopped reading discs after the install, even after removing the chips and returning the PS2s back to stock.

Both read games prior to the Modbo install and I have installed the chip on a few consoles previously and never had any issues. Also all other features of the Modbo work as intended.

After the Modbo install the 30003R read PS2 games but not PS1, and after some fiddling, now it takes a minute to even attempt to load a disc and can only launch PS2 games to the DVD player menu, which does suggest the laser is either on the way out or needs to be recalibrated. This happens with both disc drives.

The 39003 now just spits out a disc error no matter what. The laser does turn on and attempt to read the disc for a second, but does not progress further than that. As this occurs with both disc drives, I have a feeling this may be an issue with the PS2 motherboard rather than the disc drive, but I'm not too sure.

I have cleaned the boards with alcohol and checked for shorts and everything looks fine. I have heard sometimes fuses can cause this issue or a faulty la6508 chip. The games I am using to test are a legitimate PS1 and a silver DVD PS2 game and work fine in other consoles.

Before attempting a PMAP and looking into getting replacement lasers, is there any other areas I should check first which could have caused these issues?
