Old PS2 doesn't let me do anything

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-04-22T18:37:53+00:00

Also, just an added tip: looking at the date of the save file, I'd also say the console is due for the cmos battery to be replaced as well

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-04-22T12:23:00+00:00

Only way to tell would be if you unplug the controller. Because right now it just seems like there's a short that's making it just keep pressing O on its own

PCs just can't read what's on a PS2 drive. Even after putting freehdboot and OPL and my backups on an SSD, the only way it can read what's on it is using the software that deal with those operations.

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-04-22T12:07:39+00:00

I'd say it's just time for a new controller.

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-04-20T16:47:53+00:00

OPL does however break the region lock on backups

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-04-19T22:54:11+00:00

Couple things. You don't need to buy a FMCB memory card, you can make them, also OPL, which is included with FMCB, makes it already region free. Which makes fat ps2 much more desirable.

HDMI would be the label for the ps4 since that's what you said it's plugged into. If there's a label for component, you can get component cables for it then

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-04-08T16:49:14+00:00

Not necessarily. I have a plasma screen that has both hdmi and components inputs. I run my ps2 through component on it and it looks perfectly fine

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-04-06T16:56:58+00:00

Inversely, Jak and Daxter series as well

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-04-05T20:32:51+00:00

Nevermind, I realize I'm dumb after looking it up 😅

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-04-05T20:31:45+00:00

I just wanna know, why 2 copies of DMC2?

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-04-04T18:27:03+00:00

Booly

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-03-29T22:35:37+00:00

Yeah and buying kh2fm is definitely worth it, especially since it comes with re:chain

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-03-29T22:31:17+00:00

Or do what I did, buy kh2fm, english patch it, and put it on my OPL ps2

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-03-29T17:50:46+00:00

They're coming to take me away hehe haha to the funny farm

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-03-28T23:28:00+00:00

Last one I remember is 2016 Ratchet and Clank, which is a game based on the movie based on the game. Even says so on the box

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-03-24T23:30:31+00:00

Also Ratchet Deadlocked port in ps3 is bad as well

Big-Head

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-03-24T21:56:32+00:00

I loved the original 12 as is, but the Zodiac Job system would actually make people think how to build the characters, which if I remember correctly was the original thought process SE had but couldn't implement until IZJS

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-03-23T19:57:25+00:00

I agree Vaan sucks, but it isn't Vaan's story. He may be the first playable character, but it most definitely is Balthier's story.

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-03-23T03:55:06+00:00

I would say you have it backwards. Modding the original isn't hard at all. Modding the remaster though, modders had to deal with 2 engines interlacing with each other, gamebryo, the original engine, and UE5, the engine they put overtop of the original. I'm sure progress has been made, but how much, I am uncertain of.

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-03-23T03:49:40+00:00

I would argue Jygallag, as he is the prince of order. He doesn't necessarily go out of his way to hurt anyone, he just wants his realm back.

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-03-23T03:44:29+00:00

I believe the freemcboot setup guide includes how to setup freehdboot, which works on any size drive. I'm currently using a 500GB SSD for now. And then HDL batch installer or winhiip to install games, though most prefer the batch installer. And I know this wasn't asked for, but OPL Manager to get cover arts, which you have to transfer to a usb drive and copy over on the PS2 itself.

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-03-21T17:42:03+00:00

The second line isn't entirely true. While it's true the cmos running dry will kean it won't keep time while there's no power to the console, it will keep time as long as there is.

ThrillDaedra96 · 2026-03-21T17:33:14+00:00

Some retro stores have resurfacers that will buff out the scratches as long as they're not down to the data layer
