For how big that portable PS2 was, I expected it to have the disk drive.

[@linuxstreamer8910]

11:57 to be fair, flash memory has hit absolute rock bottom prices, so you can find reputable ~120GB sata SSDs for $13-16 from reputable vendors

[@techbulb3440]

Amazon had a lexar ns100 128gb for 9.99 CAD

[@ElvinGonzalez]

That optimus figure is pretty impressive for 11 bucks. Most pieces out there cost dozens or hundreds of dollars, even non-official third parties and knock-offs.

[@MonarchXO16]

It's a copie of the studio series Optimus prime which was 45 Canadian when he came out so not in hundreds🤓☝️

True

[@robertwolfgan]

​@@MonarchXO16as a transformers toys fan, I have to agree with the original comment, these can go very expensive even the cheap plastic, 3-6 steps transformation ones. So the 11dlls for THAT one, was indeed, a great catch.

[@MonarchXO16]

@@robertwolfgan I just meant like the one Austin got

[@NedRigNerd]

If that mini Apple Computer display was cheaper, it would be a cool little novelty to have on your desk to display stats and shit while gaming. Because I think it's cool cause I'm old like that 😂.

[@Kooky95]

What is it called when

[@mrlilmatt123]

That is a *common issue* with MacOS - It's not actually the little montior! I've had senior Apple engineers trying to sort it for a year with my USB C (mac compatiable) Samsung monitor...

[@michaelclark09]

Also had this issue, can confirm it's a mac issue and not a device issue!

[@MrCed122]

The GB Interceptor isn't really capturing video, it's actually dumping the ROM and is running it in an emulator that receives the exact same input as the real GB and sends that video feed to USB. It's a pretty cool concept, but at that point, it's not really doing anything more then the GB Operator or similar, while not being able to dump saves, play GBC / GBA games and isn't actually working with every games.

[@vsmash2]

There is a video on youtube from the original creator of the device. It was originally meant as a DIY project. I wonder if he even knows that it is sold on ali express now. 50 is a nice margin for what boils down to ~25 material cost.

[@linusgsebastian]

Yeah there oughta be made it. I was thinking the same thing.

[@andrewyeats1787]

“Wanna help massage my butt?” *cuts to Ken helping read the instructions* 😅😂

Always a fun video! A video on Deal Dash would be pretty interesting to see, if it works well or not.

Amazing video Austin pls keep up the great work love your content ❤

[@explodingpotato6448]

There are smaller portable PS2s available if anyone is interested, they usually don't take take ps2 memory sticks though, obviously they also run opl.

[@kevinvalencia7815]

Love that the You Got Scammed sign has the Game Grumps format. Nice touch!

[@FatherFreeman]

A “mechanical Alliance dark commander” is what my great grandma definitely would have bought me as a kid during my transformers phase. Would have paired nicely with my American Defenders(in my G.I. joe phase) and my mega bloks (in my Lego Phase). RIP gramma Myrtle, you were a real one and still had fun with all of it 💙

[@MondliNgwenya.]

Okay Austin with the washboard abs 😂

[@Dr.Anarchy]

You guys should do a video on Back Market I would really love to see if they can back up what they're putting down about their refurbishing quality and price

[@austinevans]

Already on it

[@bradygallentine1171]

I wish you would provide some type of link to these items. I actually am interested in getting that tiny monitor for my shelf lol

[@MaestroColby]

That’s pretty cool that the Gameboy cart could do that. I realize that it’s not real game capture but it still is an engineering feat

[@SamiAmYoutube]

"If you have bad posture you're gonna have a burnt back" Glad to see Jigsaw is making household traps now.

Oh great now Roboraptor can watch Mystery Tech on his own monitor!

[@Nulldron]

Glad I started watching you

[@wutangforlifeca1990]

I felt like he saw my last comment on the video for this one lol . 😂. This is great !

[@braddl9442]

It looks like your portable PS2 ended up that huge cause they really waned to fit the large screen on it. Most I have seen use a screen about the size of the GC version you bought so you can actually hold it.

[@TrexelCat]

There's also the fact that it appears to use the actual motherboard from a PS2 Slim. Modified to remove the DVD Drive and hardware. The portable PS2 appears to be about the same size, or slightly smaller in surface area to a PS2 Slim. The larger monitor is probably just to take up the blank surface real-estate that would be caused by using a smaller one like what what was used in the GameCube. Using real hardware(the "hack" just allows the PS2 to run games without the DVD Drive, its still real hardware), you really aren't going to get much smaller than that. The only way to make it smaller would be to make it an emulator, like a handheld retro-pi. Fun fact: The software they opted to use for the "hack" is actually stored on the Memory Card. I use Free MCBoot on my PS2 to play homebrew PS2 games. Which means, the modified memory card that comes with this device can be plugged into any PS2 and it will run the same way. Also means that when that memory card is removed, the PS2 will revert to normal functionality. It uses a modified "system" save to trick the PS2 into skipping it's security anti-piracy checks intended to ensure that only legal legitimate games are played on the system. Forcing it to load a modified firmware that has been altered. It was a vulnerability in the PS2 because when it first starts up, it checks the memory card for the system file, and sets itself according to the information found there. Normally that file is written by the PS2 itself, so the PS2 just looks at it, goes "everything is good" and little to nothing happens. The people who made Free MCBoot found a way to inject their own system save onto a memory card. And because the PS2 doesn't question the legitimacy of the "system" save on a memory card, it just reads it and continues on as it was told to by the save.

[@H8RSAPPRECIATE]

I’m curious does that eight sleep cover stay on the whole time or do you have to take it off plus would it be comfortable to have that under you ?

[@LePedant]

2.5' SATA SSD's are super cheap now. You can get a Crucial, Silicon Power, or Team Group 256GB SSD for $20. Heck, 500GB Samsung 870 Evo's are only $50. Same with DDR4 Memory, 32GB of name brand RAM is like $60. Great time to upgrade if you have an older system!

[@garrykanter5773]

Austin, the crew and his various vibrators are cracking me up today.

[@TheSegaSuperFan]

The flashbacks of loading free freemcboot on a memory card with disc glitching are so real right now 😂❤

[@LatvianVideo]

the 11usd ssd is about normal price, in actual retailers here you can get 120gb ssds for about 11usd, sometimes less. I have a cheap PNY sitting in the laptop my mom uses, going strong for at least 3 years now.

[@james100uk]

i love the YOU GOT SCAMED sign

[@Punisher6791]

the portable ps2 is a neat idea but completly silly considering you can now emulate ps2 on phones now and the steamdeck makes for a way better portable ps2 device thats also capable of emulating just about everything.

[@japanesemickeymouse6694]

that trasnformer was prety dope

[@julianneEVdmca]

thanks Austin , but i wonder if you can see anything on your game boy screen when you use that game-boy-interceptor or not! cuz i buy one of this and my game boy screen is black

[@TheCommanderTaco]

@16:40 We should add you to JacksFilms bingo night lol.

[@warrenbonin6175]

Ken should have his own torture room to use on Austin cause it is so , so funny to watch Austin jump and scream .

Austin, for the gbintercepter would unregistered hypercam work? Lol

[@huntern4454]

I’m gonna have to watch the insert about that game cube on the go 🤔

[@RustyOnTECH]

Looks like that SSD doesn't have any DRAM cache, which would be why it's so cheap. Performance won't be great in general use, especially for random I/O.

[@user-jw8oz9vd2e]

Love you austin

[@XYoukaiX]

Hey the N64 controller was one of the best ever ! I think even though at first it was weird it was really neat that you could easily switch between the dpad controlls and the joystick

[@Poke_anonymous]

Was gonna say the same thing its my favorite controller design of all time.

[@rushrule1]

I’ve never even heard of AliExpress before this video

That transformer took me back. I used to have a very similar one, except mine was made out of plastic. If you think it's hard to transform it as an adult, imagine trying to do it as a 4 or 5 year old with no directions.

little monitor brings back memories of a tiny black and white camping tv i had as a kid it was like 3 inch and i definitely played my ps2 on it.... idk how i managed it but hey it is what i had.... the inner spot of your arm has a major nerve in it, couldn't have picked a worse place to shock yourself lmao

[@jorg_porsche_4613]

Aliexpress is no longer what has been, a lot of scammers are active, you order what you get, what else and then you file a dispute, they say it has been delivered and you have lost your money, so I can't say anything good anymore.

[@jameslake7775]

As of when I’m watching this video, Microcenter’s store-brand SSDs in 128gb are $14, which isn’t actually much of a deal next to the 256gb for $19. So $11 isn’t particularly out of line.
