PlayStation 2 Errors (60fps) 

for some reason when i try it just gives me "disc cannot be read", i tried a few xbox 360 discs and a wii disc, even a movie disc, but no red screen

Not really. I had a jailbroken PS2 back then (I live in brazil, literally nobody paid for original games) and it was commonplace to get this screen.

you forgot the 2 in your comment!

@@boomkittyFXone time I put a pc software disc and it gave me the red screen

Correct it does take us to hell😂

ive gotta agree man, i think i only ever seen it once on the ps2 butbi was really young at the time, i was like 4 or 5, that shit scared the shit outta me and it wasnt even my ps2, it was my dads😂

Totally

This happened to me once, it went to a weird message with a black screen and yeah the message was flashing, then my PS2 turned off and when I turned it back on it was RSoD (red screen of death)

@@brandondowns5634 what an unfortunate chain of events 💀

@@Therapeudicssk 1. You should feel bad 2. Who invited you?

Is it okay if i will keep playin even if cmos battery is dead?

@@Azxcon Yeah, it doesn't really affect gameplay nine times out of ten. Your clock will just reset to 12/12/2000 every single time you turn it on.

Well, my CMOS battery is still working but it still resets the time every time i turn it on

There’s a chance that the dead battery could leak, but apparently the wrapping around PS2 CMOSes can make this potential damage/occurrence a little less destructive. I’ll be replacing my dead one when I later will crack into that particular Slimline model I have (with a dying laser and dead CMOS). I might as well do it while I’m in there!! XXD But I’m pretty paranoid though, so that’s just me XXD

​@@BinaryGamer556thats a dead cmos lol

It's like the console itself is angry with you. "HOW DARE YOU BUY FROM THE COMPETITION AND TRY TO MAKE ME PLAY IT"

*Inserts bad disk* Ps2: your going to the shadow realm jimbo.

bruh how the hell is this scary?

@@italianogeorgianomonoposto Imagine being a kid with an overactive imagination putting a scratched game disk in the system. That's what made it scary for us.

@@italianogeorgianomonoposto As kids we were all traumatized by it. Because we were kids…

Did you fix it?

Unfortunately they need to come with their own set of wires soldered into it for a proper replacement. I just reused the old battery’s connector on the new one with plenty of tape and seemed stable enough.

I have a dead cmos battery but it's works fine

Bob the builder

If you go to Settings Enter date and press O and X it should be fine

SameSame

Saaaaame

Mine, too. Even the CMOS battery hasn't pooped out yet.

Same

surrreee buddy

I wonder what the difference is between the Disc read error screen and these ones on a black screen

in my opinion the phat is scarier in that scenario because a kid playing this probably has no idea what those words mean

@@abunchofrandomgarbage23 I think the PHAT is scarier just because of the word "malfunction"

The phat is the more sophisticated, older brother. And the slim is his younger, more straight-to-the-point sibling XXDD

Phat: Oops, something went wrong, sorry! Slim: You're screwed.

❤❤

plot twist: the dot is going around the screen to try to find the data

i thought it was the disc swimming

Just see the clock in the dead CMOS battery scene, it stopped at 12:00:00 AM It means that those orbs move with the ticking of the internal clock of PS2 As in computers , CMOS battery give enough power to the motherboard to keep save of bios profile and clock config That's why those orbs stop moving in the UI of PS2

Yup same with me😂 this actually happened to me a couple months ago. I just said to myself “didn’t those orbs used to spin?”

The reason a PS2 with a dead CMOS battery doesn't have the orbs spin is that the animation phase that the orbs show is based off the current CMOS time. In other words, if you don't see the orbs spinning when you enter the menu, it means you have a dead CMOS battery.

After some weeks I turned on my +10 years old PS2, and it has the dead CMOS Battery animation, hahah. Gladly game saving and playing keeps working flawlessly

@KezKaz I wonder if you change the time on a ps2 with a dead cmos battery, the dots would change position but still wont move because it’s... dead. The dots would just update to whatever you set it. But if you reset the system it would reset the time and also reset the dots back into the middle. Now this is just a guess I would be surprised if I’m actually correct.

I completely agree. Never went to sleep the night I saw that error message 😭😭

For real....

THANK YOU

Same. and I have a 2 day trauma from DVD Error

The RSOD ambiance actually sounds like the ocean

that shit gave me nightmares and i don't even have a ps1.

@@mralwaysbored9496 me too

⁠@@mralwaysbored9496Same, but it never gave me nightmares

I would have agreed with you on the PS1, but I saw a comment over 6 years ago that I still think about to this day, comparing the sound to the portals in Spyro, and I haven’t been able to unhear that ever since, so it doesn’t really creep me out anymore.

fearful harmony can only happen if your ps1 is modchipped or something like that so you wouldve been fine

They move again if you touch system date They'll keep moving until you unplug your device(reseting/powering off won't stop them)

My theory is how the orbs move when you hover on system date is the orbs uses power from the plug so it makes it look like the CMOS battery is alive again. Another theory might be because of the system CMOS battery may have a little bit of power but had to stop because the system cannot recognize the battery's life.

Mine just died. Is it ok to not replace the battery and just keep it as it is? I hope there is no risk to keeping a dead battery in the console if all it does is tell time.

@@StarForceBelmont321 yes, it's fine. It's just that the date on your save date will say that it's from 1999 or something

@@StarForceBelmont321 Just don't if you want to save money. If you want, Open the console and find the dead CMOS battery holder, go replace it. Requirements is a professional and a working CMOS battery.

It’s like you die and go to hell

As a child, I was always afraid of this screen

@@trueenti219 Pure terror

Caught me off guard but never scared me too much

​@@trueenti219Ninja Gaiden Arcade GAME OVER has exact same terror like RSoD.

i agree i always used to think that it was the end of my life whenever a ps2 error occurred

I’m so glad that someone else described exactly why I hate the ps2 ui, it’s nostalgic but so terrifying to me

Every computer error is creepy af to me I hope I'm not the only person that have errorophobia (i just made out this word)

Piraticaphobia (Pronounced Per-ridi-ca Phobia) (From the latin term, "Piratica" meaning "Piracy") is the fear of anti-piracy and/or error screens. Jeez

Yeah no the startup screen used to freak the hell out of me as a kid, and still kinda does. And the system just has this tension to it that’s hard to describe

If this'd been a 90000 Slim it would've been God-tier lasting that long

No? I remember letting mine sit on (but the tv off for what its worth) all night then get on it in the day when i was like 5

Now I wish there was a way to access the system temps in software and display them

Yeah, I can see why you still have nightmares.

What

very accurately about the phobia, I also had one too

@@youtube_channel_1111 i still do but only of like old tvs (CRTs) and old consoles which sucks cause i love retro games, so i just have to face my fears

@@billycool6237 SAME!! I always thought I was the only one... I don't even know where it originated from, but old tech scares the shit out of me. I find it so fascinating but once a friend and I tried to fix their record player and it was so scary to me that I felt like I would get a panic attack any minute... It sucks so much

Woah member

Jejejeejeoooooo

Have you completed Sonic Heroes in the end? :D

​​​​@@MilesFox92 Sadly no. The disk was scratched up so badly it was unplayable, but I tried to grab a new copy or fix the one I owned.

​@@shadaneanimates What about resurfacing the old, scratched-up Sonic Heroes copy?

@@UltimateJennyFan I'm not so sure about that since I no longer own a physical copy, but maybe there's a copy I can buy at one of those pawn shops that sell old video games; there's a few around where I live. I could probably pick one up and play it on an emulator.

@@shadaneanimates what a coincidence for you replying, i just got my hands on a ps2 copy of sonic heroes! it is from c.e.x though, so it has it's scratches and stuff. i tested if it worked, it fortunately did

What? Recently?

Oh I understood the commend wrong

They're a different breed

My cmos battery was actually dead and sulfated, it won't keep the time unless i keep the console plugged but the orbs always were moving even with the battery dead! probably because my ps2 90010 sets the time at 01/01/2000 everytime i unplugged it. I changed the CMOS last week, so now the original CMOS with 12 years will rest in peace. Gg.

Indeed😏

PS2 be melting 😏

goddammit

Y'all down bad over overheating 💀

PS 2 HOT get it?

it happened to me on the wii its like: this disc cannot be read. me: *takes out disk* wii: please insert mario kart wii we just had to restart it

And if you don’t watch Harley’s Letter Adventures.

wega

i think BK4 covered this in his ps2 errors video

@@annoyingidiotfr ....this is BK4's ps2 errors video?

might be because the console mistakes it as a PS1 disc and hands it off to the PS1 emulator, which in turn attempts to read the disc and throws up one of the PS1's many glitched error handlers

​@@annoyingidiotfr this IS his ps2 errors vid

There are all which occur sometimes, when you doing something wrong.

I knew that

Maybe the yellow evo did it?

@@RandomBBCStuff yeah maybe the yellow evo broke my PS2 console

@@gxdyzzz3776 Just maybe, you never know.

Ngl id prolly shit myself like that’s wayyyy scary than “this disc cannot be played” imo

i dont think homebrewing existed before wii but idk

@@unnamedscribble yeah there was! (Freemic boot I think I forgor)

I have a PS3 too, every now and then I get to Play it.

@@Shuts same

actually my ps1, ps2, and my ps3 wont boot. its just the ps4 and ps5 working

@@Shuts damn I miss those GT5 days

@@evslashtxentertainment26 sad, maybe ur ps1-3 was too old

apparently its because " The CMOS error isn't technically an error screen. The orbs move in correspondence to the passage of time and the battery is what keeps track of time. Without the battery, time essentially doesn't exist, so the orbs get confused & stay in their default position. " -leon legend, also in this comment section

The CMOS controls the orbs, as well as the ones within the crystal clock in the settings screen, because the CMOS is responsible for the time. Without a working CMOS, the orbs’ “clock face” is stuck at 12, leaving them all frozen in place there. PSA: If you suspect your PS2 has a dead CMOS, it may be worth it to open your console up and either just take it out or go ahead and replace it; I’ve heard they can leak, and you definitely don’t want a corroded battery leak inside your system getting between you and your games. Best wishes everyone!

Me too with the ps3. The reason I didn't want to hear that sound it's because it's like when you write chalk on a board!

EDIT: Apparently the wrapping on the batteries makes the leaks less damaging, according to another source. So if you were going to open your PS2 (Slim seems easier to do this with?) for a general cleaning or other maintenance anyway, you might wanna do it then. But otherwise, you probably shouldn’t even worry and it seems like you could just be A-OK👌 (And Sorry for my biiig ramble, I’m in my PS2 phase again XXDD) --- Hello, just wanted to let you know that if the battery is not removed, it may corrode and leak into the inside of your console, which can definitely cause problems. Corroded batteries are not something to be messed with, especially when it comes to a sensitive electronic such as a gaming console. I haven’t experienced this first hand, but I do have a dead CMOS in one of my PS2 Slims that I will replace as soon as I get home, because I’d rather not take a chance. I recently heard that it can happen 😅 I’m not sure if it really would but, I mean, it’s a battery so it makes sense. Lol Thankfully, it seems rather easy to at least remove it, and you can purchase the full battery part online, specific to your PS2! So you can worry a bit less. ( NOTE: *I only have ever owned and own slimline model PS2s, so I’m not sure how easy it would be to do this to a Phat* ) I haven’t looked up where to buy them yet, but I’ve heard plenty about that being an option, so hopefully if you do decide to have this process done, that it can go even smoother 😃. And I’m certainly no expert, as I have yet to do this myself, but I’d just like to spread the word… as it seems that some are unaware of the possibility of corrosive damage. I haven’t heard a word yet about that in this comments section, for how much people are discussing their discoveries and experiences with the CMOS. I hope this could help, as well as that I hopefully haven’t just been pulling accidentally incorrect information out my ass… XXDD… and that maybe I could alert you to a potential and likely avoidable issue. Good luck and best wishes to you! 💙

Additionally, Huge congrats on your healthy PS2!! I bless that it’ll keep on trucking for many years to come! :D

So if you were going to open your PS2 (Slim seems easier to do this with?) for a general cleaning or other maintenance anyway, you might wanna do it then. But otherwise, it seems like you could just be A-OK👌 It’s very interesting! :D Just a warning, though: I’ve heard that dead CMOSes can potentially be prone to corroding and thus, leak into your console which can damage it. You’d probably want to avoid that for the sake of preserving your system, so it might be a worthwhile option to research how you can take it out and/or replace it. As for the Slimline models that I personally only owned and own, it seems to be a fairly easy process. I’m going to have to try it for myself once I get back home to help one of my slims with the dead battery! I’m no expert and I don’t know much about this, but I just wanted to spread this possibility I’ve heard about; and I mean, it couldn’t be *that* far from the truth, considering a CMOS is a battery like any other that’s probably capable of corrosion, right? XXD Well, good luck and best wishes with whatever happens!! 💙

I replaced the battery with no issue; no corrosion present either. All of my consoles fortunately have none of the typical “signs of age/death” with corrosion, worn out parts, etc… The worst one was my original Xbox with its absolutely ancient factory-original thermal paste (which required a special solvent to get off of the dye) and mildly thick coasting of dust. Which, for being as old as it is, wasn’t even that bad; a quick blow of compressed air and a paintbrush dusting later and she’s basically like new again. Lol.

@@ilovemonkeyos Ah, thats great! I should hope at least most of our consoles will age gracefully XD

I wonder how you keep them so clean, though? :0@@ilovemonkeyos

Gta 4 or gran Turismo 4?
