The analog button was for PS1 games. It turned off the analog controls because some older PS1 games wouldn’t work with them turned on. To get around this, later PS1 and PS2 controllers had a manual button you needed to press to make the controller work with those games.
@vlc-cosplayer because old ps1 controllers without analog sticks were technically digital controllers. So when you turn the analog off on the newer controllers it shows up as digital. This was during an era where nothing was really streamlined well into 1 well understood language. Everything was proprietary and came with its own quirks.
The DVD exploit only works for some fats, but all slims. It's also better to use the DVD exploit to install FMCB on a memory card so you can play games off the hard drive or on a USB or over the network.
Before watching, my thoughts are that the PS2 can run Minecraft, but there’s a significant catch, being the exact version of Minecraft. A direct port will rarely function well, especially on limited hardware, but a system specific edition can work well. The problem though is time and effort needed to create and maintain several unique instances isn’t financially feasible, which is why Microsoft stopped it with Minecraft specifically.
I mean that applies to just about any piece of hardware. Realistically you could make your own console that is capable of playing all PlayStation games from ps1 to ps5. It's just that it wouldn't be worth it. The amount of time, skill, and money it would require to make this thing would not be worth it and would have to be made solely as a passion project. Forget even trying to sell this thing, no one could afford it.
@@G1sandG1rlsGamingI have a fully upgraded version of MindCraft running on my PSP1001, microsoft has a internal development team that DOES work on new software for very old devices. I worked there for 17 years. We have a version of Age of Empires 4 that runs on a 486dx33 and the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo . These versions are kept in a vault and only given to those who are worthy. When Fermi Labs finishes the time portal project, we will be sending software back in time. We will only be able to information back not people, I have had the pleasure of witnessing the tests brother as Microsoft is part of the time team. We will blow your mind.
@@G1sandG1rlsGamingYou realise that the ps5 could feasibly play ps 1 through 5.....right? Ps 1 and 2 are laughably easy to emulate. You can literally do it with a basic laptop with integrated graphics, either intel integrated graphics or AMD integrated graphics. PS3 is the only real challenge. It's only the last few years PS3 emulation has become viable, but the vast majority of PS3 titles, even the most demanding PS3 titles such as the last of us, are playable via PS3 emulation on the exact same RDNA based desktop GPUs as of that in the ps5. The PS5 is just mid range gaming pc. With a Ryzen CPU, and an RDNA GPU roughly equivalent to an RTX 2070. More than enough grunt for PS3 emulation. So you have ps5 and PS4 games that play natively on the ps5 as is. PS1 PS2 laughably easy to emulate even on a basic laptop without a dedicated GPU. And PS3 that can be emulated and is routinely emulated with the vast majority games playable at full speed on the exact same hardware on pc. Tldr; you massively overestimate how hard it'd be for Sony to release an update on the PS5 releasing emulation support for PS 1, 2 AND 3. 4 and 5 already plays natively on the system. Genuinely. You honestly massively massively overestimate how hard it'd be. The PS5 is full x86 architecture. When PS5 homebrew matures towards the end of the ps5s lifecycle, you will legit be able to play PS 1, 2 and 3 via emulation on a PS5. It has the power to do so, you can emulate ps3 just fine on the exact same RDNA based desktop GPUs. Unfortunately, Sony simply are not interested in doing so. Not because it'd be a challenge, it literally wouldn't, again, this is literally done by many many pc gamers on the exact same hardware that's in the ps5. The PS5 isn't custom silicon in anyway, like the cell processor in the PS3. Neither was the PS4, the PS4 was also just a, for the.time, mid range gaming pc. That's why the ps5 plays PS4 games, but the PS4 didn't play PS3 games. The ps 1, 2 and 3 were custom in house designs. PS4 and 5, full x86 based CPUs and a desktop gaming GPU. Sony won't do it because there's little financial incentive. Remakes sell. Giving users the ability to emulate 3 generations of Sony consoles, not so much. Would it take them long to do? No. Would it be massively consumer friendly? Yes. Will they do it? No. But they could. To say it'd take massive amounts of time and resources though is literally not true. It would probably take a few weeks for them to port the most popular PS1, 2 and 3 emulators to the PS5. Literally.
@@jakeroscoe8238 Obviously Jake I wasn't clear so allow me to elaborate. YOU as in YOURSELF AND YOU. JAKE ROSCOE could make your own console. Not Sony the company that obviously could do this because they literally own the source code for all of these consoles. You, the average Shmoe is whom I was referring to. As far as affordability. No it would not be in the slightest. Yes, you could simply build a pc and install emulators on it, but not everything would be guaranteed to work, especially more modern games. Hell the playstation vita itself only has a little over half of it's collection playable via an emulator, just due to how difficult the programming is on that tiny little device. What I am referring to is a genuine hardware, that is capable of playing disks from each of these devices. It would be possible to build something like this, the unfortunate problem is it would cost so much money to build this thing that no one would want to pay for it. The person making them would literally have to be throwing money away just to get these into peoples hands.
I really like the startup Easter egg because the more files you have on your ps2 there are more pilars and when you have more data on those files the pilars get bigger
The analog button has a pretty simple explanation. It toggles the the analog sticks. When it’s off the analog sticks don’t work and when it’s on it allows you to use them. I think the main use case was if you were playing a ps1 game on the ps2 you could toggle the sticks off.
I don't get the whole exaggerated amazement bit. Minecraft is not difficult to run in terms of CPU, for context it ran on Android phones that were less performant than the PS2 back when the first android version came out. There is a ton of more graphically demanding titles on the PS2. The only thing that is a big issue running a port of minecraft on it, is the severe lack of system and video memory as it only has 32MB of system memory and 4MB of video memory and Minecraft needs a lot more memory to run with all its gameplay features. The PS2's memory is just too small to run a draw distance even comparable to the lowest settings in the retail versions of minecraft and it leaves no memory left for the monsters and NPCs. For comparison the PS3 had a proper version of Minecraft but that console had 512 MB of system memory to work with.
@@bestbleb7264 would have though the lack of a compatible java for that processor architecture would make it difficult. Sure you could install the flatpack but running it is different
Friendly reminder that the PS2 had 32mb of RAM and the CPU ran at under 300mHz. Honestly, the things some devs were able to do with the system were actually witchcraft.
Unfortunately, there is no official way to play Minecraft on the PlayStation 2 (PS2) as it was never released for the console. However, here's a potential solution: 1. *PS2 Emulator*: Install a PS2 emulator on your computer, such as PCSX2. 2. *Minecraft PS3 Version*: Acquire a copy of Minecraft for the PlayStation 3 (PS3). 3. *Convert PS3 Game to PS2 Format*: Use a conversion tool to convert the Minecraft PS3 game to a PS2-compatible format. 4. *Load Game on PS2 Emulator*: Load the converted game onto the PS2 emulator on your computer. Please note: - This method requires technical expertise and may not work perfectly. - You'll need a powerful computer to run the emulator smoothly. - This solution is not officially supported by Minecraft developers or Sony. Please try this method
Hey! Did you know that the more towers that are in the startup, means the more save data you have. I also still have mine, only one controller works tho.
so the reason the ANALOG button is there is for the PS2's backwards compatibility. while all PS2 games had analog functionality automatically turned on while booting up, most PS1 games didn't. this is because, for the first three years of the PS1's lifespan, it didn't even HAVE an analog controller. when they eventually introduced the DualShock in 1998, a lot of people didn't upgrade and stuck with their D-pad only controllers, so post-DualShock PS1 games were built to be able to be played with both a standard digital controller AND the DualShock, with the digital mode being the default. so those who owned the DualShock had to press the ANALOG button on the controller to enable functionality. this was carried over to the PS2 controller because of the backwards compatibility. if the ANALOG button wasn't there, then all PS1 games would run in d-pad only mode, and games like Ape Escape wouldn't have even been playable because they REQUIRE the sticks. so the button is there so you can use the sticks while playing your old PS1 library on the PS2.
Just a quick heads up you don't need to buy that memory card.. all you need is a burnable disc and ofc an usb memory stick. Buying the memory card with the mod preinstalled is basically the more lazy way to do it when its already pretty easy to do it yourself. Well if you don't have any dvd discs you can use and also if you dont have an dvd drive that can burn for your computer.. buying the memory card with the mod preinstalled is definitely the cheaper way to go. But if you have a dvd drive for your pc that can burn discs.. I definitely recommend to do it yourself its kinda fun and easy experience to do.
@@noaharkadedelgadoyeah that is one of my all time favourite ps2 games just amazing to have pretty much the while of Oahu to drive around in over fifty different vehicles
I love your channel and video, but respectfully could you edit your audio in your future videos to have less harsh high pitch sounds. It's mostly coming from the S sounds. I wear earbuds and it's a little distracting. Your videos are great and keep up the good work 🤙
The PS2 has an awesome feature to slow/stop your stick drift. Starting from the center, rotate the stick around the edge a full circle and it'll track the minimum and max values it saw and create a new deadzone/center. So with one stick flip you essentially remove all stick drift (Every console should have this as a minimum)
the analog button was more of a backwards compatibility feature than anything else, before the dualshock controller was released, games didn't use an analog stick, but when it was released most games followed, the analog button allowed you to turn on the analog feature for those games or to turn it off and play the old way with the directional pad, some games in the PS2 used the analog primarily but would let you disable it and make the directional pad the primary imput, it was rare for PS2 games but fairly common for PS1 games, keep in mind that games that didn't support the analog stick would not work with it even if the light was on, an example of this would be Dino Crisis and Crash Bandicoot which didn't incorporate analog sticks untill the third entry in the series and thats the reason the awfully sounding Resident Evil Director's Cut Dual Shock Ver. came into existance. That button's got quite the story...
I just brought a few PS2 games like old SpongeBob ones and few others because Queensland have so many retro stores and my partner and I were so excited
if you get stick drift on a ps2, it sometimes can happen because the sticks weren't central when plugging in the controller or turning on the console. Whereever they are during those moments is where the center is considered to be.
Pretty sure it was also there to turn on and off the analog buttons, not just the sticks. The analog buttons being all the face pieces since they were all pressure sensitive
Funny seeing you so surprised and thrilled the PS2 starts up and the memory card still has saves on it - I have my PS2 and its cards, PSX/PS1 and its cards, N64 and its save files on carts plus on cards also SNES with saves in the carts that almost all still work! Only a couple of SNES carts saves don't last more than a few days, all else is about a decade older than this PS2 of yours and still works fine!
I put Free McBoot onto my own memory card which was very time consuming but it is possible with a blank CD and some files you can download off the web that you have to put onto the CD itself. The CD has to be put into the console in order for Free McBoot to be installed onto the PS2 memory card.
1:51 Some PS1 games have support for the analog controller. Since the PS2 can play PS1 games, there's a button allowing you to change between dual-stick and no stick; something the PS1 analog controller does as well. In summary: backwards compatibility.
Close but no cigar. The PS2 controller had analog face buttons meaning that you can partially press each one and it tracks the amount. An example would be in fighting games (like the Bouncer) a light press would do a light attack and a hard press would do a heavy move, or if you are playing a racing game you control the throttle with the analog buttons. Pressing the analog button just turns on and off the pressure sensitive buttons. Edit: This did also turn off the "analog" sensitivity/function of the sticks so it was partially what you said (turns them into D-Pads essentially)
I think the custom MC Games arent doing the console justice. Remember that something like Metal Gear Solid 3, Shadow of the Colossus or Okami released on it. And those looked like early PS3 games.
yea thats because he bought the fake FMCB cards with outdated software :( I made my own FMCB card and i have it organized how i see fit which is pretty cool.
