I Can't Believe The PS2 Could Do This (We Failed Though)

Ladies and gentlemen, the Sony PlayStation 2 is a wonderful console. It had so many amazing games that changed the industry. It had DVD playback which was incredibly useful and worth having in the early 2000's. And Also, Gran Turismo 4 supported Epson printers. Because how else were you going to show your friends at school, your office co-workers, or your friends at the bar that awesome car that you just unlocked. That's right, PS3 could print from a lot of third party printers. But PS2 had one of the earliest examples of a traditional photo mode in a game. And today, we attempt to use it in the glorious year of 2024. It.. did not work exactly. And yes, I'm still salty.

@AndyVoong925 Месяц назад

I remember reading that feature when I first played Gran Turismo 4. It was a cool novelty. However, I did learn a lot of photo taking skills from that game, like focus stutter, flash, filtering, and composition of your shot and cars. Two decades later, I still continue to take many lovely car captures in various video games and apply what I learn over the years to each shot I take. It's a nice fun and relaxing hobby for me to do.

@craigsampson3386 Месяц назад

I remember playing with it too it was amazing back in the day, I also spend alot if time in GT7's aswell even if i don't actually take photos lol just to see the cars close up and admire all of the fine details in the car models. One of the cars in the game i own in real life, so it was fun seeing just how accurately they got the fine details.

The PS2 game Vib-Ripple has the ability to import photos to use as the texture for the floor of the game's arena. It's done through USB, but you can't just use a USB stick with jpegs on it. You have to use a digital camera with a USB export mode that works with old photo printing kiosks, etc. Probably something more commonly used in Japan. I got it to work with a USA Fujifilm camera from about 2003.

@fattiger6957 Месяц назад

It was neat that Sony used to have all these features in their consoles and I do understand why some people lament that PS4/5 have disregarded these multimedia features. But, to be honest, I doubt many people used them. By the time PS4 came around, people had phones, tablets and TVs that were already stuffed with multimedia apps. Sony just focuses on making their consoles for playing games and, based on PS4/5 sales numbers, that was probably the right way to go. (and, no, Sony won't put a web browser in their consoles. Browsers were a very common way to hack consoles in the past)

@nattila7713 Месяц назад

ps4 5 has a browser though.... and I think hacks exist too :)

@fattiger6957 Месяц назад

@@nattila7713 They do technically have browsers, but they aren't easily accessible. And while hacks do exist and probably will always exist for every console, the console makers don't want to make them easy to do. It's just weird that I see people wanting modern consoles to have browsers when everyone has a smartphone.

@garydiamondguitarist Месяц назад

As someone mentioned, the Web browser is still there on PS5, it's just hidden. Only really used for signing onto WiFi that needs a browser to click accept in or whatever. While it's true some previous consoles have WebKit exploits, the newest PS4 based one is PPPwn, which uses vulnerabilities in the PPPoE Internet feature of Network Settings (legacy 2006 or so era GPL type code I think) to do a memory/overflow exploit. Works on PS4 models of all types up to and including 11.00, so if you haven't updated your PS4 in about a year it might be worth a go.

btw the difference between film and photo is that photo is just a regular raster image file (a jpeg I think), but film is a dynamic render, so it's "infinite" quality, however you can't use it outside the game unless you convert it to a photo

@mattmc5069 Месяц назад

The PS2 DVD player is highly underrated. At one point I had 200 dollar Blu ray player that had issues with a few discs. A Sony! But the funny part is the much older PS2 was able to play 2-3 of them with no skipping. When the other 1 did skip I was able to fast forward past it where the more expensive (and then much newer) one just locked up. And this was the 2000 fat boy model. People call the player in there more or less average but that player was a beast.

@suntannedduck2388 Месяц назад

Yep photo mode on PS2 Scaler (freeze mode similar to a flying camera but only fixed view on that spot) and GT4 did it in different ways. But using a Printer or even the I Link port I assume very few used and the size of the files too hmm for such quality at the time. Great stuff. Yep Scapes started here on GT4. PS2 was computer related. Yeah EPSON support was a thing I noticed in GT4 First Preview I assume others maybe could have been compatible. I don't know for sure. Yep R32 or R33 good choice. GT and menu design they always do that but the photo mode is just more confusing but I don't use that feature do to me it eas even more complicated. Yeah USB the easy way hmm. Yep quick for us, not IRL. Ah problems. Need Mystic printing segments for sure. XD 2024 the feature had to be used again at some point. Unfortunate but does happen the connections sigh. I myself never used the photo mode so writitit up for first preview version of GT4 was an interesting comparison of fhe Japanese preview and US/EU final ones.

Well, I just tried again, and now the USB stick worked! Bought my PS2 used in 2017, and last time I tried the usb stick, it failed to work from both ports.
