PS2 Slim USB Stick - Plug 'n Play Gaming in 2021 ! 

Wow

I had the slim too when I was a kid, such an amazing console, especially for its size

Dumbest comment evar!

Just wait for the PS2 Slim Classic lol

Same!

Fun Fact: Remember how the Slim 9000x Slim Models Came out around 2011 and how Looked? Now do one Thing Compare Them to the Original PS4 Side-By-Side See the Resemblance? Yeah Those Particular PS2 Slim Models Were Based Off of the Original PS4

Same. Cheapest DVD Player on the market

​@@crazycraft6756 The PS2 alwas was, and still is; a far cry from the least expensive DVD player available. P.S. _"Cheap"_ is a word that speaks on quality, _"expense"_ is a word that speaks on price. Even I know this, and English isn't even my first language. P.S.S. I feel like I should note that the PS2 is still my favorite console to this day. I own a PlayStation from every generation (up to 5), a Sega Genesis (w/ the Sega CD add-on, and a Game Genie), a Dreamcast, and an Nvidia Shield Pro. So don't get me wtisted thinkin' that I am just hating on the PS2, I'm not.

@@Ichihiro36 Thank you for correcting me and yes I also know the meaning I just use words that basically mean the same thing because I know that most people will understand what I meant by cheap. As for the price I always thought of the ps2 as a inexpensive multipurpose machine.

@@Ichihiro36 Another thing, Awesome console collection! It’s nice to think that there are people out there that still collect older consoles as for me, I have only gone up to my ps2, Wii, and a Super Nintendo entertainment system (SNES)

@@crazycraft6756 You're welcome for correcting you (AKA point taken, my bad... it's just that the whole _cheap vs inexpensive_ thing is one of my pet peeves. ' Couldn't help myself.) You also have a nice console colection, I've been wanting to add Nintendos to my collection for a while now so I'm super _'jelly'_ of your SNES. I want the OG NES, the SNES, the N64, and the switch. *Those* are the additions I want from Nintendo. _(I want consoles from other manufacturers too.)_ I do technically have a regular NES, but it's my original from childhood, and it's been broken since the late 90's. There are a lot of us retro gamers out there, still collecting old consoles, enough to support multiple retro game shops in Portland Oregon USA, at least 4 that I know of. So it's more common than you think. Also I was being too harsh; I've been speaking English for over 30 years now... I don't get to act like native speakers should know better than me... not after all this time.

so lucky 😅 just ordered one online for like $120

@@connorbermel3472 i bought mine with this price in 2009

I spent $80 for the console and $20 on the controller (the mfs sold them separately)

Why my ps2 slim can't read dvd disc?

@@haikalhamzan2906 Is that for all DVDs? I believe also that it only plays regional DVDs, so I don't know if that's what you are experiencing.

@@stevec5465 ouhh..okay, thanks

If you want a bit better resolution Get an upscaler device

​@@THE_flushingtoiletupscaler devices won't give you better quality bruh

you should upgrade to a single board . its cheap and has a wider range of games. with a form factor pc you can install android auto os and play tons of emulators inluding ps2.

Thats dope in the car lol it reminds of an old Ludacris vid...was it him well one of them old rappers...the music was better back then😂

@@jengoldberg5353 An affordable sbc is not yet capable of PS2 emulation.

Been putting ps2 slims in my car's since been driving. The lasers crap out fast on bumpy roads tho.

@Jabroni Destroyer Or well over a grand for the good emulation ultrabooks and handhelds. More money than brains for many folks.

those are just theoretical speeds though. I could only get around 2MB/s when ripping a dvd with OPL

USB 1.1 is much faster than the PS2's built in USB module...

Mx4sio uses the memory card interface to load games from a SD card. It is faster than the USB ports

@@ivanokmunoz you can also use the ethernet port to play games, and it solves the problem of the videos and cinematics

@@Deltadark_ How?

that is interesting let's dive into this 👌🤗

Do you mean it can run properly and doesn't have any lag or stutter? I've slim one.

@@aikqnextgeneration yes, i have a few PS2 slim consoles and believe it or not the best is the 90xxx, though it only works with funtuna and not freemcboot, and the last OPL runs pretty good, i can share the version if i have some free time to check.

oh and remember this is down to compatibility, of course there will be non compatible games but the list goes shorter with every OPL update available.

@@ZpinalX What about save data? Can magic gate save or USB?

I used to have their racing wheel + pedals. It was yellow, and honestly it was sick as hell. I didn’t have any sort of table to put it on, though. So it ended up being sold in a garage sale

@@RESIDENT-EVIL-Fan-since96 it works great, but the DVD loader is too fragile, and requires constant repairs. Because of this, I just leave it alone, and play from USB or network.

does jailbreak version run smoother than without jailbreakin?

Or just buy the game you play in 2021 en enjoy them this way 🤗

I'm in the same boat as you. It would be nice to find someone to just load a 2TB hard drive or a thumb drive up with games and ship them ready to go. I happily pay for that.

@@neiltaylor9222 I need that option as I'm so tech illiterate 😅😓

Sure many who sell PS2 now load the games in drive. N not sell dvd

I'm 21 and hacking stuff is so annoying..... Why can't anything be made as simple as possible??? I just want to play, not get frustrated

But this is easier

Seems like the easy option. I'll probably do this or use my laptop for smb.

It scratches dvds?

Yes i just play new dvd like 5 hour already scatched like 1 mothn play

@@buhshmuh not sure you'll find one, LOL. Hit me up via reddit DM @esmith213 if you get stuck.

Now they made modem mods to run directly from hdd in the console.

@@sal5690 for a slim ps2? Link please! :-)

@@esmith13 In Ali Express they have HD Combo PRO for Ps2 Slim too

@@esmith13 Or you can mod, soldering 19 pins on the mother board with a hdd sata adapter

still faster than discs. you could also run games through ftp

@@DecibelAlex Yea I tested a few games disc vs usb load times and results never differed too much. There are some good comparison videos showing many games loading faster via usb.

@@DecibelAlex how the fxxk is 1.0 usb speed faster than dvd?

@@pftmclub it's usb 1.1 and the speed is 1.5MB/s, dvd isn't much more than ~5MB/s and you also have to count for mechanical wear and the condition of the disc, so unless you have a brand new ps2 and a brand new game it will be around the same speeds in reality. there's also patches that you can apply to speed up the loading times tremendously

I can't imagine that 2.0 would be bad at all either. Playing PS1 games from a flash drive on PS3 is fine.

it supports USB 2.0 devices, but it's not anywhere near those speeds

@@DecibelAlex oh.

They're both 1.1 lol

@@jabu_pl I see.

Yeah...anything a basic laptop can do...only 100× slower...jajaja

Why on earth would you need 320 gb on a ps2

I wanna get the phat one too I only got the itty bitty one 😂lmao it's not bad but I think that one would be better too

Bruh should have just bought another one and kept that one mint

You lucky m-

I tried running PS2 games on my cfw PS3 (slim). it will do it... pretty much any game I tested, but it overheats and shuts down unless you set the fan to 90%>max... then you have the feeling it's about to "take off" ;) PS1 games it does in it's sleep though :)

@@James-fx9vd I let the fan on 40% manual for PS2 games. And it is OK. Some games need a custom config to run properly on the PS3 emulator for classics ps2 games or they will cause bugs and black screens/ freezes.

My PS2 draws 15w with ssd and hdmi out. My PS3 ss draws nearly 100w. I prefer ps2 but to each their own.

@@JesusSaves86AB Indeed, each unit got its pros and cons. At the end of the day it really boils down to preference.

@@James-fx9vd mine is set at 50% and it still sounds like a helicopter.

Any links how to do this?

Pretty sure it came out when San Andreas came out

@@yesmate78 When San Andreas was released, did they erase Vice City from history?

I don't think he's Eastern European, I'm pretty sure that this is a Dutch accent.

Those adapters are complete trash compared to original component cables and a good setup

Yeah a raspberry pi will do the job nicely. Miles better than the ps2's usb ports.

Can you link me to a tutorial for that please?

Actually no. The sound itself came from a Yamaha or Kawai Synth, which was mostly used in 80s/90s RnB & Jazz music. I have the original samples used in PS2 boot up chime

@@N.n.i.k he could be talking about the notes included, not the sound/synth itself

Really?? I've known about this since 2014

Isnt it slow tho?

Just finnished replacing the (dead) DVD drive on one of mine, currently transfering games... i have a little bit of a doubt that it will outperform an SD card due to the IDE interface, but 1TB for €65 is definetly cheaper than the same ammount in SD...

@@anno5936 I still remember the PlayStation 2 launch and how impressed I was at the time. I'm happy we can enjoy it to its full potential now with modern tech despite the limitations of the hardware. Also grateful for how cheap a ps2 is now, especially one with disc read issues.

@@JesusSaves86AB "modern tech" would also apply to emulation :) But each decade has its legends... the PS2 sure is one. I just love how cheap you can pick 'em up, refurbish and add some stuff to see them revive in a kid's room. Finnished testing, and to no surprise a SSD doesn't give you more performance butbof course is near-silent. Also, for an "internal" solution, 1 TB is not a viable option due to limitations of the file system, so it's fair to say, an IDE to SD card mod is a more "user-friendly" approach.

Bruh

Nice

That’s gangsta 🤣

Something to be proud of
