[@reepor01]

Oh god, one of my most heartbreaking PS2 moments: So at my house we would always use my mom's nail polish remover and a q-tip to clean the game discs when they didn't want to play right, and it worked GREAT. So one day I brought my copy of Kingdom Hearts 2 (a most beloved game) over to my friends house to play. It had seen some heavy use, and hadn't been cleaned in some time, and didn't want to play right. So I had my friend go get his mom's nail polish remover and a q-tip (a trick he had never heard of) and started cleaning the disc... ... ... Only for it to get cloudier the more I cleaned... ... ... Apparently his mom used a different kind of polish remover, and it ATE AWAY AT THE TOP LAYERS OF THE DISC! The game was ruined, and I was heartbroken, because I was NOT one of those rich kids, and it would be at least a few months before we'd be able to afford another copy of the game. If you read this far, thanks!!! I guess this isn't exclusively a PS2 era problem, but that's when it happened to me lol

[@bottledpills]

Jacob Molyneux that's mainly because of game models and textures. Today's weekly updates for the most don't make any change to those things, and in fact those are actually burned on the disks. Updates usually fix bugs and security. Once upon a time, bugs were 99% fixed before the game launch and so was security. And those little harmless bugs that were found months or years after the release, were just really funny to exploit. Also, many PS2 games are 5/8 GBs big.

[@mattsmechanicalssi5833]

@Falcon I can't even count how many PS2's I've rebuilt! I learned how to polish the disc's so the damn machine could read it! I would volt mod the systems to get the most out of them. Even adjusted the laser voltage when it refused to read discs, just to get a little more life out of it! I still have a box of parts, and quite a few games. And a working PS2, with a number of controllers, including the big orange gun that I bought with Resident Evil : Dead Aim. The gun only works with the old CRT TV's though, And I gave those up a long time ago! LOL! I don't play the console anymore, but I still use emulators to play the games. Good stuff there Falcon. Have a great day!

Matt Christie Hey, do you know the Correct resistance values for the PWR-808 Laser of the 7700x model? Mine doesn't read shit.

[@Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

Its funny 'cause im only sixteen and i remember most of the things mentioned

[@mattsmechanicalssi5833]

@Alex Kirchgessner I'm sorry I don't. All of my information (books, files, and computers at the time) were lost in a house fire. From what I can remember, there are 2 potentiometers (small, but evident) that control the laser and the servo. Mark their position with a Sharpie, and take a resistance reading. Move the pot all the way CCW and take a reading, then move it all the way CW and take a reading. Put the pot back to the original starting point, and turn it in the direction of least resistance(which will give more voltage to the laser). Do this in small increments, and test each time. You don't want to max out the voltage, cause you will fry the laser very quickly. That said, you do need more voltage than the stock setting, because as the laser ages(through use), it requires more voltage to do the same job. Now you may get another 3-6 months out of it or 2-3 years out of it. And you can always adjust it again when it stops working, and hopefully get a bit more life out of it. I hope this helps! Have a great day! Oh yeah, you may have to adjust the height of the laser too. The screw is on the assembly the laser rides on. And again, mark the position before you move it, and only make small adjustments with tests in between. Remember, a little goes a long way!

[@mohibali8008]

Anyways, my point is that I don't know if doing stuff like that for the manuals was a common thing.

I know it wasn't PS2, but the one for Star Fox 64 was pretty amazing with all of the flavor text.

@@brianm6117 you had one of the last "Fatboy" ps2's (I'm guessing). Heard they were the most stable ps2's available. The main board was done differently than previous models so some parts wouldn't swap.

SciTk No. You still had to worry if it was a poorly done licenced game or sequel. The PS2 was full of them because it was way easier to rush development and crank out games in 11 months

Don’t forget about when you were going to delete a saved file and the sprite sometimes would weep in sorrow that it was about to be deleted was pretty awesome

[@howardwinkleman1608]

The Sims 2 is my favorite example. The icon turned into a tombstone with a flower or 2.

The fact that us gamers miss the old era of gaming means that they're doing something wrong with gaming now. Selling us unfinished games for $60.00 short stories. Etc. Not all games just most

[@qc8320]

How old are you

[@mazor13]

Honestly I think our games are being priced the best way they can. Not by all game devs of course. I am just saying look at how much more work goes into a game. How many more people have to make that game. It is a different world. They could just sell all AAA titles for $100 or sell the game for 60 and get the rest back with dlc. Just saying with inflation and increased development cost have kind of forced this. Pay the 80 - 100 amount and you get the full game. I agree it sucks and some companies abuse this but seriously SNES games sold for $50 to $60 in the 90's.

[@afuckingnameplz]

it's called nostalgia, i would flip my shit if my kid-self got to play the stuff that gets released today

[@lukecollis9634]

I think if the ps2 allowed you to download updates for games, devs would do the same thing.

[@princegroove]

Back then you were stuck with buggy games, instead of all these patches. Yeah, it was definitely just plug and play.

i kinda miss memory cards, if your PS2 ever broke and you needed to replace it there was no fuss about reinstalling games or transferring data from the broken one to the new one, just take the memory card from the broken one and put it in the new one and your done, no waiting for that shit to complete the transfer, and no worry about having a shitty internet to make that process take days edit: oh, and the save icons were amazing, they didnt need to have 3D icons like that, but they did them anyway, that was a nice little detail and it sucks they dont still do that now

[@mrsg8996]

[@KingsOfRugby]

I was negative 7 years old when this came out but I only got the PS4 in 2017. So from like 2011 - 2017 I played on my PS2 with my Simpsons Hit And Run, FIFA 08 and many more. 7:17 was the bane of the console though. You wake up, you turn it on and cycle through your cases of disks. You find the one you'd love to play. You insert it and wait in excitement. And you're greeted by that. It ruined my day and I'd always ask my dad to do 'the toothpaste trick' where you use toothpaste and other things and when used on the disc it would work again. I have a display of all my PS2 memories on my desk. And despite the fact I didn't know what the analogue button was and I constantly pressed it (never disabled my analogue sticks though) I had one hell of a time in then 6 years and I've been doing my best to get the parts to the TV I've had since my mum gave me the PS2 which was in the living room when I was 6. The first ever game I played was MotoGP and I remember I thought I was breaking the law for playing Simpsons Hit And Run which was a PEGI 7 when I was 6. Memories :)
