The RSOD scared the shit out of me most of the times as a child. Remember the day I put the disk of Operation Winback 2 and didn’t work, the RSOD showed up and my room lights turned off at the same time.
Bruh that happens to me like when i was a child.I played it at 10 pm when me fam already sleeps and me want to play games but ended up having RSOD,me scared then leave the ps2 turned on and runs to my bedroom scared lmao
Loudest sounds from low to high: -Whispering -Talking -Clapping -Shouting -Car Engine -Motorcycle engine -Pornhub intro when I say I'm doing homework -Loud concert -Earrape Windows XP intro -Every BK4 video's ending -Airplane taking off -You flushing the toilet at 3 a.m. -Building collapsing -The microwave at 3 a.m. -THX sound -Your mom with your grades -Nuclear explosion -Rocket taking off -Sun's radiation -Collision of two black holes *PS2 INTRO*
There’s also the Dot of Death error. In the menu the light orbs won’t move but turn into one single dot and stay that way without move. This happens when the CMOS internal battery is dead.
@@Isafell2001 Its actually bc the CMOS battery is dead, and thats where the date and time data is stored on the BIOS, you can actually get an new one and replace it and its gonna be back once again
opposite for me, i would have my older brother turn it on for me while i’d hide under the blankets because the red screen happened so often i expected it and was horrified
I think I have an explanation for the "DVD Player is not set up" message. In very early PS2 consoles (like the first ones released in Japan, SCPH-10000 and I believe the SCPH-15000 also had this problem), the DVD playback capability didn't come from the factory, on the consoles themselves, given the PS2's rushed release. What Sony did instead was providing a disc in the box, that would allow to install said capability onto a Memory Card, taking advantage of the PS2's ability to read updates from MCs (the same ability that would be exploited by FMCB years later, and no, not having a MC wouldn't be an issue in this case, since the first Japanese models came with one), thus allowing for DVDs to be played. Knowing this, we can safely assume the error message shows up when the user inserts a DVD without having that installed. Later Japanese models and ofc, the ones released in other regions came with DVD playback built-in, so this error message was rendered obsolete. As to why it showed up to this user with FMCB, that I don't know, but I'm not aware of any similar issues for other people.
Me as a dad: here son, its my old ps2 have it. Son: Thanks dad now i will try the erro- Dad: IF THE DEVIL COMES OUT OF IT AND GETS YOU IM NOT GONNA HELP.
I remember when I was younger, my sis had a ps2 and I remember being in her room when she was playing the ps2 and my sis turned on the ps2 and it scared me and it got to the menu screen and I was scared of that as well, I was scared of everything that was on the ps2 and am now 11 and am still scared of the ps2- 🧍♀️
Fun fact, very early production run PS2s had slightly unreliable disc drives. I had an early production PS2. So yeah it wasn't uncommon for me to see the RSOD even on brand new games and DVDs.
Fun fact: the towers in the background of the ps2 starting screen is actually the different blocks of data on the memory card, with different sizes getting different heights
I think that the height shows the time you've spent on a game and nearby towers mean how many times you have played that game, other towers are for other games.
Ah back in the day when disk games didn’t need to be downloaded and movies were still DVDs. I only lived in this generation for a little bit but I miss it
Story meme book:What happens when having a RSoD at 3am when everyones asleep,well Everyone would scream in that sound and I tell them to be quiet and annoying car makes that screech and makes all of us scream.just a story meme Me:Uhhh.would that have happen?!
This red screen actually felt pretty chill to me as a kid. It didn’t have any sudden sounds, the colors weren’t harsh, and it even said “please” in a very polite tone. But I *did* scream whenever the Wii did that little “blppp bong” sound when there was no disc inserted
honestly, i never really thought it was scary either but i can kinda see how its unsettling to some (for reference, ive never owned a console in my whole life and have only played with other people)
@@AdminHouse it's less the visuals themselves and more the combination of the visuals with the sounds while in the dark, giving a frightening feeling of something going horribly wrong.
@Merim Cosic I was talking about when I was a kid, back when that came out. Give or take a year. Didn't know about actually making game copies, other than burning a cd with the files on it. Needless to say, they didn't work.
@@EchoFaustMusic Me too, i was elementary school and pirated games were cheaper than a single Verbatim DVD-R at that time, and my dvd burner cost much more than my whole Pentium 3 I had back then.
I remember when I was scared of the PS1 PlayStation logo screen when the disk was verified and started loading. And I was scared of the GameCube startup for some reason
Some kids that were born years after us think that the Xbox 360 red ring of death is scary. Sure, it represents the fact that your beloved Xbox is dead and you can't use it. But the scare comes from the possible loss beforehand, not from the ring itself. The PS2 screen, on the other hand, it's a different story. You're not looking at some tiny red ring of death. You're staring at a big fucking gaping hole of red. It may not be as meaningful as the red ring of death, but it does give you nightmares.
This brings back so many memories, specially the RSOD, I always found the ps2 menu sounds relaxing, they make me sleepy (except the RSOD of course, it produces deep anxiety)
RSOD is scare me when i was child, it make me run and go to bed Edit: yes my grammar is awful, just ignore it 🙏 Edit 2: RSOD is literally scary because when i was a kid i had a nightmare hearing RSOD sound. (This is the remastered version cause you guys said my grammar sucks)
Damn that red screen of death sure gives nostalgia in an unpleasent way The first time this happened to me and my siblings we were on the console in secret at night.
List of PS2 errors that I find to be creepy: 1. Red Screen Of Death 2. The disc could not be read screen 3. DVD player is not set up screen (BTW, I've never heard of this error until now.)
Jovhanny Feliciano shut up and please don't call me a "wuss." When I was 3 or 4 years old, I used to be scared of the PS2 red screen of death and I used to have nightmares about it as well. So shut up.
matt9q7 Yeah, I know. That's why the PS2 red screen of death scared me and gave me nightmares as a 3 or 4 year old child. Fearful Harmony (which is an error on the PS1) also gave me nightmares when I was 3 years old. I'd say it's creepypasta for little kids and for young gamers.
ps2: go ahead and put on a disc! Me: (puts unknown disc) Ps2: PUT THE PS2 DISC RIGHT NOW Me: that is the red screen of death (rsod) Me watching this video: hold up... This is the red screen of death and that happens when he is mad! Ps1: I THOUGHT YOU HAD NO SECRETS, PS2!
"dvd player is not set up" usually happen when you don't patch properly a game backup, or, if you aren't using freemcboot, the error happens when you play a dvd movie from a different region
Ok, so let me set the scene... It’s 2007. Little 4-year-old me is sitting in my room at 10pm with the lights off playing the PS2. I decide to change the disc and put Crazy Taxi (epic game) into the console. I reset it, climb up my bunk bed and sit down to play. Then the RSOD fades in. I kid you not, I screamed at the top of my fucking lungs in pure horror for a solid two minutes. My parents come bursting through the door and scream “What’s wrong, Sam?!!!” I burst into tears, run into my mums arms and say something about the PS2 wanting to kill me as my dad sorts out the disc. I didn’t sleep in my room for about a week afterwards. The sound still gives me chills to this day... but the very same PS2 is still set up in my room and has been in the same place for around 12 years. I still love it though, even if it did scare me shitless 😂
One thing I noticed that the Cube on the RSOD screen moves differently depending on what console you have. You can also tell on the PS2 startup screen when the middle cube moves in a certain direction.
The red screen of death can also happen to heavily scratched ps2 discs even if it's the right region, it happened to me when I tried to play my old copy of Finding Nemo on the ps2 recently
I know of at least three more errors the PS2 has: 1. "Disc read error." - Appears on the browser screen when the system cannot read the disc. Usually due to a faulty laser and possibly accompanied with loud clicking noises from the disc drive. 2. "Disc cannot be played due to regional restrictions." - Happens when you insert an out-of-region DVD video disc into the console, for example a Region 1 disc in a European Region 2 console. 3. Blinking red light - The console shuts off and this appears when the console has overheated. Usually due to a faulty or blocked fan.
@@YuvrajK.Official You have to try pretty hard for a PS2 to overheat - usually only a failed fan does this, even then it will run for upwards of 20mins before it shuts off. Heard of blocked Slim fans causing this too.
I remember when I was 5 or 6, I skuck out of bed to play the ps2 in our living room. And I remember being curious and wanting to play a PC game on the ps2. When I popped it in, and booted it up, I nearly shat myself seeing the red screen of death, aswell as the volume being loud from when it was used before. It was terrifying as all hell
I did that too when I didn't had a PC. I remember when my mom buy me my cinnamon toast crunch and came with a football game for PC and I decided to play it on my PS2 and that was the first time I saw the Red screen of death.
5:37 It could be that it is a problem with the unlocking. If the screen that goes down is written Matrix, then the unlocking chip is Matrix Infinity, then the game might not be working because it might be Matrix Clone or it might also be that the media used isn't very good.
I remember when i was little, i got the red screen of death i think 2 times. This was back when i had my old PS2 (I have a different PS2 now). Whats weird was that it was the unknown error one which is a very rare error to trigger. When i got the RSOD i was so scared all i could do was just stare at it in terrified shock. It said something like "unknown error please restart the console" or something. I purposly triggered the RSOD on the ps2 i have right now and i still get chills when it happens. At least its the one thst says "please insert a ps or ps2 disc"
I always had nightmares of this screens and sounds when I had my PS2. I used to call it “the cubes.” I remember one dream where Lego Star Wars froze and just kept looping the same sound from the cantina over and over as my PS2 started smoking, and I’m at my doorway and my mom stands up from my bed and starts walking towards me groaning like a zombie or like she’s in pain and I can’t move. One of the earliest nightmares I remember
I would like to mention my experiences with the errors shown (used both 7500x and 7900x models). 1. The red screen of death can occur with very badly scratched games, though most of the time, it displays "The disc could not be read". 2. I used a blank DVD to test if would somehow read it, and I got "The disc could not be read" with it. I tried with a blank CD, and it acted like there was no disc.
0:46 - Something similar happens on my modded SCPH-9002 system when I put a Blue disc CD-based PS2 game in the console, although this time it would sound like it’s running a PS1 disc but will show that screen instead of the actual one.
RSOD can actually also appear by inserting badly scratched disc too ( i had this problem oftenly, man, i was always just thinking to just launch the game without RSOD )
Yeah, many people got RSOD by inserting badly scratched disc, many people knew about that but in video it wasn't mentioned so i just needed to writte it here. I personally had it too, and well, i saw it pretty much. For example, an really badly Gran Turismo 4 Disc, it had some big scratch that looked like infinity symbol. I don't remember when i get that screen for the first time, because i saw it pretty much.
I think it's because the scratches are so bad that the console simply doesn't recognize it as a proper format disc, I don't believe it's explicitly due to scratched discs inherently, and I don't think Sony really considered that this would be a problem, as the screen is clearly meant specifically for discs that are recognizable as improper format, in which case creating such an eerie error screen like this would make a lot more sense for the purpose of something like burned discs instead of just simply a disc that was unreadable, which has an error message of its own, much more simple and harmless. Personally though, I can say that this definitely was a problem that I myself have experienced, and Sony didn't seem to have really put much thought into this message before releasing the PS2, and never got to fixing it since I'm pretty sure this is a problem on all models, either way the PS2 wasn't too great at differentiating simple, scratched discs from improper format, which definitely led to the scarring of many children (myself included,) but what are you gonna do?
Yep, i need to admit, i had also nightmares because of RSOD, lol. You actually sayed it right, it seems that it looks like it, PS2 just thinks it's different disc and gives RSOD. RSOD actually would be great at making pirates scared when trying to pirate a game. Also, by saying burned discs you mean 'arrrr'?
Great video, hope you make the next video about the PS3 errors! I believe there are many different errors to be explored, especially in a *DEX* version! (Developer Console) or in *different firmwares!*
My GTA San Andreas disc got scratched two times. After the first one that got scratched, I bought another one but after a while, it got scratched again because one of my little siblings knocked my PS2 over which caused it to open. Now, I have my third one, I hope it doesn't get ruined.
I remember I used to have this scratched up copy of the game and it would occasionally give me a message saying the game was scratched and I thought if I put my hand neat the reset button it would work again, usually did.
I'm in the USA, many times have I seen "Disc read error" (instead of "The disc could not be read") thanks to scratched discs, and when the old thing eventually kicked the bucket and wouldn't read anything. I only saw the red screen once ever, because I put in a disc that was literally dirty. I washed the disc with water (probably a stupid idea) and that fixed it.
The DVD problem has explanation, the first PS2 models didn't include the DVD player, so, Sony sold a disc that installs the player program in a memory card (it weighs 500KB, it's roughly 1/16 of a common memory card)
I remember when I was 6 years old my brother had the parallel lines driver and I always played it with him and suddenly when he went out with his friends he left me playing that great game until one day unfortunately I had to start the game and I got the Red screen of death and the game didn't work anymore, the next day we went to buy another parallel lines driver with my brother since that game was just out, it had been on the market for about 2 years or 3 and well, it happened a week and again the red screen of death now im 18 years old and im playing that game in my notebook and i remember the old times with the ps2 ;(
Hentsi I believe he plans on making it. I recommended him a PS3 error involving putting a CLEAN PS2 format disc where it will say "this model is not compatible for PS2 data".
Oh I forgot, there's another PS3 error where a random game (like Minecraft) will freeze where you can't do anything until a screen says "This game failed to load" and then having to slowly wait to be able to quit game.
OK I'm just letting you know because it happened me around my early days of playing Minecraft. I had to spam the PS Button until I was finally able to quit.
