The different PS2 Slims. 

You’re Absolutely right! I have the last model and can perfectly read ps1 games

@@tybread2997 The PS4 is not backwards compatible at all, and the PS5 is only backwards compatible with PS4 games.

@@tybread2997 I've been wondering about this, I think the guy's a new starter who works in the online shipping warehouse/on the social media side, hence some holes in his knowledge in many videos. I get it, you've got to learn at some point and a job's a job, but weird that he or someone else wouldn't fact check the script before publishing.

@@Awesome_Dawson_Films_Official I thought PS4 backwards compatible with PS3 games

@@naufalam7840 When my dad got his PS4, I tested it with PS1, PS2, and PS3 games, as well as CDs, and none of them worked.

I had a 75 model, it could play PS1 games. As far as I know they never removed that capability, not even for the 90 models. I don't know where that info came from, but it's wrong.

@@DurradonXylles Most definitely. I even own one of the last redesign models made of the slim before it was discontinued, and it even still played PS1 games. Also, I know all previous models were backwards compatible as well, so I don't know what that comment was all about in that video. 🤯

@@DurradonXylles there are some differences between the fat and slim Models but I also think that all ps2 slims are PS1 compatible. One of the differences is that the Game Legend of the dragoon can have some gamebreaking issues on slim Models. There are Just some weird cases like that.

He was wrong about backwards compatibility. Every single PS2 model can play PS1 games, it was one of the console’s selling points. The actual difference is that later slim models use software instead of native hardware to play PS1 games.

All of them are compatible with PS1. The REAL difference is that that specific series removed the actual MIPS R3000A, the original chip that the PS1 ran off of. Subsequent models used a chip to emulate it from I believe Motorola. Sad thing is, imagine if someone who knew nothing about consoles wanted to get themselves a PS2 slim and didn't know that it was false that the subsequent models didn't run PS1 games.

True, but some ps1 games don't run that great on some of the slim models , due to different parts

They gotta sell those model 70’s bro 😂

Nope there was one model that wasnt

was about to say that too...

As far as I know, the first PS2 slim model is the only one that has a dedicated PS1 hardware inside. The others will run via emulation

it would be pretty impossible to make the ps2 not backwards compatible with ps1 games because it uses the ps1 hardware inside for other ps2 functions (when not in ps1 mode) such as reading the usb ports

@@erxer1 From what I've heard PS2 slim actually use emulator instead of PS1's hardware, but it works pretty much the same

@@erxer1 except all but the 70000 model got the PS1 hardware completely removed...

The later slim models emulate the PS1 hardware. It mostly works well but it does cause compatibility issues for certain games.

I think he meant they aren’t natively backwards compatible, instead relying on emulation to play those games (probably done to reduce costs).

Which country? Here in Canada I think the last time I saw a PS2 slim being sold in Walmart was around winter 2012-2013.

@@GenerationZ313 This was in the US.

@@supersmashmaster43 I specifically remember seeing the ones with Toy Story 3 included.

@Pixelcitizen Yeah! In Spain we saw around 2014 the last PS2 in some shopping centres with a very cheap price. I think they were selling it for less than 150 €.

I’m pretty sure the Sega Master System and Gneisses are still being produced in Brazil and selling extremely well for consoles from the 1980’s. PS2’s are also very popular over there.

Same, disc drive latch broke tho when I was like 10, miss tht thing.

Mine would randomly crash in Metal Gear Solid.

The 90000 series was my first PS2

Also had 7000 series and fat PS2 but the disc tray is not opening on fat PS2

Me too, glad I still have it

Same here too

Got mine in 2008, still have it

I like the internal power supply of the 90xxx, that model must be pretty rare though. BTW that internal disc sensor was a pain to reach, but you had to in order to be able to use the Swap Magic disc.

@@souljastation5463 It's prolly the most popluar model in our country lol.

I have the same 90 model My cousin had 70 model and the issue with external powersupply was that it really heats up after continuous usage for more than 6 hours Meanwhile i used to play mine all day long without any heating issues so it was a good change never knew why that thing existed outside for his ps2

​@@kulrajsingh2017it's just miniaturization at work. The fat PS2s had a PSU board that's the size of the entire motherboard of the late model slims. Nowadays there are mods for powering the whole thing with a USB-C adapter.

Man, I wish I still had it. My parents sold it when I was 11 back in 2010 since we were having money problems

I still have my model 90 that my grandma got for me back in 2011 when I came back to Argentina.

Use batocera and coolrom in ur pc

For me the worst PS2 is the 90 model

@@joydeepdas8172 why? That's the final model of ps2 isn't?

The ribbon won’t scratch the disc on 7900x right?

That was my go to console after 2008, when I got it, still have it 16 years later

That last model looks like a ps4. Foreshadowing 🙂

Did you at least keep the memory card?

@@doraeguyakaneddie6586 nope 😭

​​@@doraeguyakaneddie6586 i got you there😂 I had sold my ps2 3/4 years ago but i still have my memory card, i had data from 2003 on there god has to sell my soul for that memory card, so im gonna buy another ps2 again tomorrow and i will play it with my memory card and games

Yeah ik a decent amount and this confused me, even tho I only had the 90

But they can guess colours real well…

i had 20 play station's 2 in my life, i could tell that the design in the 90xxx is worst than the older models, the buttons are better in the old consoles and it would never break, while the buttons on the ps2 90xxx could break easily

Why

@@Imnotgatino my wish

I had the model 90 too, I bought it hacked to be able to run burned copies. I eventually threw it away unfortunately cuz It was barely usable at the end

probably modchipped

@@macheooo I never modded tho. I’ve had it in its original condition since I got it new in 2005.

@@keybyss98 I think that all PS2 can actually run PS1 games, he got mistaken

He meant the first model is the only one with native PS1 compatibility, and not software emulation.

Ok... good for you What do you want a medal?

Rock on 😎

Could it be the disc drive working a bit rough? As far as I can tell the only major changes in PS2 hardware has been the use of better and more efficient silicon. . The GTA games for example have a tendency to introduce a ton of wear on the optical drives, so it could be that your older model is just struggling to load things.

@masterkamen371 it could be that. I got it used a couple years ago. I don't really use it too often nowadays. The 2005 I know I've taken very good care of though all these years

I have a 75 the second one, damn is it heavy for a tiny ps2, and I have the original ps3 and original ps4, used to have 2 of the ps1 and never had a ps5

​@@Tenderofyggdrasilive had every Playstation i had multiple ps2s and ps3s only 1 ps1 1 ps4 and so far only 1 ps5 I had literally like 15 ps2s and probably 5 ps3s

I believe you with that pfp

@@cleangoblin2021 ok thanks

@RJ Cox ok well I'm just saying that I've played with all slim ps2s and they all play ps1 because Sony would not remove that feature in any PS2 because at that time PS One backwards compatibility was selling great and Sony cared about backwards compatibility back then Plus it was cheaper back in 2004 and upwards for a little while pricing was cheaper for a few more years sub backwards compatibility for PS2 was still possible and I know for a fact all PS2 slim models plays PS1 games because I owned two of them two different models of the slims and they both played ps1 games and i knew someone that had a 3rd model of the slims and that one also played ps1 so I'm pretty sure that all models of the slims play ps1s

@RJ Cox ok i understand and i did some research a little bit ago and i just found out that I'm right and wrong. I'm wrong about one thing and that is they don't play all ps1 titles for the slims at least not all the slims play all ps1 titles all ps2 models up to the last model of the ps2s play ps1 titles just not all games even the phat models don't play all ps1 games but those phat models play most ps1 titles just like all slims play ps1 titles just not all of them of course but a good majority of them I'm just letting you know what I researched but in any case that makes sense to me. So just to let you know that's why you could have had issues because certain games don't work right or they don't work at all because it's not meant for that PS2 or it's not programmed for the PS2 because Sony had to design it to play only most games which is lazy and fucked up if you agree.

@RJ Cox right right I understand it's just that it must be a certain reason why you were having some issues with the slim versions maybe like you said it could've been the disc or the laser. But the other issue could of been that there's always that one out of a million chance that the console could've been just defective somehow in some kind of way you know mine I mean? I just figured I mentioned that issue because neither one of us during this conversation but I can remember mentioning about that the whole thing that it could be defective from some kind of way but it works for everything else or works mostly you know what I mean.

What is that one called? sounds interesting!

@@sebastiann.8088 Sony Bravia KDL-22PX300

My PS2 is actually the last one and I never knew it was so small and lightweight until I got a PS3 slim

I was thinking that the last model is very similar to the original ps4

@@andreassposito7816 it is. Especially the last model.

It looks like a slim 2013 Xbox One also.

@@dom4591 yeah, but without the giant air vents.

@@quesochecko exactly

I got the third model he showed and that was already after the PS3. That model got released way into the ps3's lifespan I assume
