My older brother (who is 11 years older than me) owned a ps2 slim and it was one of the first consoles that I remember playing, fast forward 15 years later and I still use it so this day to play guitar hero 2. It’s crazy to still see it work to this day.

My first PS2 was an slim. It just blew my mind how small it was!

[fabianperez]

I bought the original fat model. I remember playing my PS1 games on PlayStation 2 and being able to watch DVD movies. Great memories.

I recently found a PS2 slim complete at Goodwill for $15. Just got in THPS 3 and 4 and loving it! I’m 18 all over again!

The compatibility can be improved using the latest OPL available, last update was in March 2021 as far as i remember. And now there's even a retroarch version for PS2 for playing a lot of retro stuff, it's like the console is having a second birth.

My PS2 slim is still kicking. It was my first DVD player also. I have over 30 games on disc that are playable. The resolution isn't great, but still heck of a lot of fun.

You asked "why" toward the end of the video... the answer is simple. The Playstation 2 only has USB 1.1 ports (1.5MB/s), which has even less bandwidth than the CD speeds (3.6MB/s) and DVD speeds (5.28MB/s). Since most PS2 games are on DVD discs, only games that were relatively small but still pressed onto DVDs (mainly the outer edge of a DVD disc for speed reasons) will play from USB. Most of the data for any game that fails to work will be in the form of full motion videos and textures, both of which require higher bandwidth than the USB ports are capable of providing.

FAT back in the day, pretty much on release day - awesome cheap DVD player at the time.

Miss so much my old PS2. It's nice to see that people is still working stuff for it.

I’m 40+ years old and this is all too complicated for me.
I sometimes still play fighting games & Shooters on my PS2 with SwapMagic CD/DVD.
Even that annoys me to the point I rarely bother anymore.

👍Great addon to revive PS2. I have both fat and slim, I bought a slim for my car because it fits in a glovebox and doesn't get hot.

I have a grey PS2 Slim, so far the only grey one I've seen and I've had it since I was a kid, for how small it is plus the year it was made it's pretty impressive

Maybe you don't know about USB port
Left side is 1.1
Right side is 2.0
So for HDD and USB keys containing games you must use right USB port to have better perfs

PS1 intro is the best. It is actually designed to use the larger speakers on Sony home theatre systems. Why it was awesome and filled with a wide range versus all systems since PS2.

I had the slim PS2 and I also remember that back when MadCatz used to make third-party accessories I had a MadCatz memory card

[DarthGamer]

I've heard about people connecting a Raspberry Pi with all of their games on it to the Ethernet port of their PS2 and playing that way. It gets you around the issue of the slow transfer speeds that are on the USB ports

[imarealwitch]

My first ps2 was a slim, but sadly I sold it because I didn't like how easy DVDs would get scratched. Almost 10 years later I got another ps2 slim, but this time i modded it to run games through Ethernet and got some component cables. Now it is the PS2 i dreamed of as a kid.

[DanielCarlosJobs]

I had the Slim version. And it still works!!! I load games on it from USB and a network linux file server!!! Its great!!!

[JohnJohnson-twqk]

I had the fat model of the PS2 but wish I still had mine but sold it to buy a PS3. one of my all-time favorite consoles

best way on a slim it to combine FMCB memory card and use a cheap $25 micro router with USB share or cheap $25 android tv box with USB extended storage capability. That way you can hook up a USB thumbstick or HDD at USB2 or USB3 speeds to the micro router or android tv box and use an ethernet cable to connect that device to the slim's ethernet jack and get 100Mb/sec thruput on loading your isos in OPLs network mode. This simulates what a PS2Netbox could do for $200 back when you could buy that thing. Nowadays you can DIY for under $50 if you already have a thumbstick or HDD to use.
