PlayStation 2 network adapter installation video

[@DingoYabuki]

I didn't think I would see such an intense instructional video on how to install a PS2 network adapter.

[@vgrepairs]

That's because you're a furry

[@MrSupernova220]

Most awesome tutorial i ever seen, everything is so clear.

[@ErnestJay88]

do i have to spin my PS2, network adapter, even network adapter installation disk before use ? :D

[@MindsEyeTHPS]

My Network Adapter Startup Disc (version 3.0) has that as well as the intro before that but the only difference is that in the installation video, there is no background music and does not have the fast-forward effect before describing the part the video was gonna talk about next. Also the last part intro before the installation video was featured back in the PlayStation Knowledge Center videos in the official PlayStation channel in 2012.

[@UPHadmin]

A coin? I spent all my money on the network adapter, you think I still have a nickel left???

[@sonikkuffffff]

i traded in my Dreamcast (xmas gift from my parents) to Gamestop with all of my games (birthday gifts or bought with bday money) as well as additional controller, controller extension cable (bought with chore money) and VMU for a whopping $40 which was the price of the PS2 network adapter. i think it was right above trade-in value and i got a handful of change iirc back for it. i have regretted this decision ever since then but i played hella Tony Hawk online with the adapter so i was glad i got to own it.

[@IMe7x]

@sonikku dammit - I feel your pain....

[@TheCrazyHubbardFamily]

The slim ps2 already has ethernet built into it, this network adapter also allows you to install a hard drive into the back

[@DreadedFate100]

back in the day when you could play online with dial up haha TONY HAWK PRO SKATER 4!

[@blazebrendon]

I thought that area was to hide your cigarettes and drugs from your parents when you were a kid!

[@robertmagana557]

That's what I used it for and still do

[@MrHav1k]

+toxic prince lmao

[@V1VISECT6]

That's what I did, then I just hid them in my guitar case.

[@leogamer9793]

+Toxins Man that was along space down.

[@antiquefuturistic]

lol

[@bustergaa]

I was surprised to see how many people played Socom and Return to arms online, actually very suprised lol.

[@Arctyy]

All my childhood lied in 8MB.

[@deluxer69]

very cool zoom effects

[@peppermintpig974]

I wonder if the support line is still valid. :)

[@noaharkadedelgado]

It is but you gotta have specific/different DNS settings

[@exfireyguy69]

This is a really informative video thanks. But I'm curious i bought the third party gamestar ps2 network adapter from trademe and was told it was the right one to connect to internet etc but when i went to set it up i noticed it doesn't have any network ports to plug the ethernet cable into. How does it connect to internet or have i been ripped off? Anyone with ideas or help much appreciated......

[@Red05x]

Yes, you were. SONY PlayStation 2 Network Adaptor is the Official way to install the Hdd and therefore, to play FF XI Online (I believe this game is the whole idea to have the Hdd and play Online). There are two versions of the Adaptor: With Dial Up and Ethernet Input and, Dial Up only Input. The Adaptor you bought, is only to connect a regular HDD to the System and use it as regular HDD to Back up games and some stuff.

[@Grchman]

Sooo.. I hope someone can help me with my question concerning PS2 Network Adapters.. In short, I want to buy 2 of them so I can play Time Crisis 2 and Time Crisis 3 (old school 2 tvs side by side). I pretty much have 2 of everything and I just need these network adapters. Will the "Link" feature still work in this day and age?

[@unicodefox]

Bit late, but XLink Kai is what you're after!

[@Red05x]

Well, Time Crisis II and Time Crisis 3 used to be played over i.Link Cable. Not sure if now can be played over Ethernet with some Mods.

[@sailingwhisper149]

@TheAlex0404 the slim ps2 comes with an ethernet cable built in, this is only for the regular PS2

[@Bear1097]

DUDE!!!! that would be sweet if that still did work!

[@hermonhie]

Do they still sell Network Adapters in stores? If so for how much?

[@joshcramer3578]

I just found one at my local retro store for $15 USD, used. They are very hard to find in our modern times! 2022

[@noaharkadedelgado]

@@joshcramer3578 no they aren’t, if your looking in person then yes but it’s easily findable on eBay and amazing (better to buy on eBay than amazon)

[@brenzillaman]

@wabzoo there isnt one you simply get a ethernet cable and there should be a jack at the end of the ps2.

[@BaranZenon]

Those dramatic zooms freaks me out :X

[@rochelle-nsuok4551]

BaranZenon yes

[@mar101895]

if i get the slim one do i just search for the router to play games online

[@siksonic19]

Dont you just need an ethernwt adapter? And hook up the ethernet and in the router?

[@vrtlhvn]

i love how cracked out the zoom ins are, reminds me of bollywood tv show zoom ins ifykyk

[@DonnyDonairs]

what happens if you dont have a start up disk??

[@R33Racer]

Does anyone know the port above the IDE is all about? Look's like a SCSI one but i'm sure it's not, is it?

[@btboss123]

Could I just use a usb Xbox 360 wireless adapter

[@AlyxVance14]

i have T-home phone, internet router, and it is possible to connect?

[@foresthill01]

What if you have the slim?

[@Zdravkovski1]

Do i get network adapter with my playstation2 fat ? Or should i buy it separately ?

[@nasos397]

wait does that means that ps2 slim has already his own adaptor and that you only have to put an ethernet cable

[@SkateOrDie7909]

do you NEED to hook a phone thing into it?

[@15935715935788224466]

[@trumpetdave2502]

[@wardul]

[@Gameplayer77]

@kstab2 PS2 Slim already has the network adapter in it ?

[@361983200]

@TheTarzanJr I know that but how many of those ps2 users actually use the network adapter?

[@Gfunkguitar7]

@donohuge12 you can get them at some gamestops. I just got one a second ago. If you can't find one you can go on ebay or craigslist

[@albinb4]

Do i need to buy the net work thing?

[@wogulous1000]

[@MrSupernova220]

[@vinceopao]

[@lUwAnI]

[@javierontiveros893]

[@TheThumbupprod]

[@kstab2]

[@louishoek15]

[@manchesterunited2k12]

in what store can i get it .

[@wwesuckaa]

you know if sony has ever manufactured network adapter without lan?

[@Red05x]

Hi:I just have my PS2 Network Adaptor a few weeks ago. The Instructions manual says I need a 10/100 Base Cable. also says that other cable could cause damage to the system. Can I use a 10/100/1000 Base Cable (5e)?

[@IvanPlayStation4LiFe]

yes and no it wont harm.ur ps2

[@Red05x]

@@IvanPlayStation4LiFe Thanks, Man.

[@mar101895]

i thought the network adapter was only used to find an internet connection

[@lUwAnI]

where can i buy this?

[@kalionyo]

my ps2 came in a bundle with ATV Offroad Fury 2 and the network adapter installed. I just bought NBA Street v3 on amazon and wondered if anone played online. I just need to find the Network adapter CD somewhere first... =P this sucks.

[@mezimus]

will this work for a ps2 slim?

[@ImGillie]

do u need the instructions disk to get online???

[@_ryukora]

i dont know?

[@CondogCreative]

@RAAProductionz he means what store

[@roosteemon]

are there still people playing ps2 games online?

[@AwkwardPSN]

137k . thats all ? my lord we come a long way lol

[@dominic970]

how much does that cost

[@fady12210]

mu ps2 is not that shape its thin what to do

[@sackyman20]

ok what is recommended? ethernet cable? cause i think thatd be the easiest.

[@_ryukora]

if you dont have phone cable use ethernet cable

[@markitospuma07]

And on wifi how!

[@_ryukora]

welp u cant?

[@lUwAnI]

does the ps2 slim need this?

[@Doctor4Dimonds]

No it is built in

[@FMZown]

do enough people still play online to make it worth buying an adapter 4 my ps2?

[@crazycommercials2755]

Probably not

[@Kobe_Bryant247]

i think network adapters are discontinued now.

[@R33Racer]

Sony pulled the online PS2 plug not that long ago aparently. I remember playing Toca 3 in late 2007. Sad really because I still think there's a community for it even today.

[@austinlester4466]

i have a newer model so my network adapter is installed and it has a cooler on it so it wont blow up

[@gedaman]

Austin Lester I could never get the network adaptor to work on my PlayStation 2 slim model for some reason. My original PlayStation 2 connected to the Internet fine with the network adaptor and my DSL modem connection.

[@MrCombat26]

how that price ?

[@aannoouullaa]

Can you get it to be wirless?

[@Doctor4Dimonds]

Yes I think

[@iown28278]

do you have to pay monthly fees to play online with the ps2?

[@IvanPlayStation4LiFe]

no

[@SalTheSlime.]

What about the slim?

[@_ryukora]

the slim has no driver so you cant play mod with hard disk anymore :(

[@knakkerbosch]

good old times

[@datflyguy215]

does the ps2 have the playstation nestwork

[@BRUHmOmEnT-lt1kj]

No

[@armando979797]

I want a network adapter to but I can't find it :S

[@TedizRediz]

I had no idea this existed O_O Welp, looks like I'm getting a PS2 and playing timesplitters 2 and co2 :D

[@mezimus]

how?

[@xxnukezxx]

They dont have much network adapters at stores since they arent near as much online like ebay thats where most of them are. I bought mine on ebay for around 30 dollars.

[@TheAlex0404]

@xdogsgrowbeardsx can u use this for the slim ps2?

[@IvanPlayStation4LiFe]

not the adapter

[@Gameplayer77]

You dont need this PS2 Network adapter if you are already on the network and have a network box hooked to your computer and router etc once you turn your PS2 on it will let you set up the ps2 and look for your network connection like the nintendo wii correct ?

[@rocknroll980]

You don't need the disk, but you will need a game that can configure broadband settings.

[@Red05x]

Yes. Like Metal Gear Solid 3 - Subsistence. I played on my PLAYSTATION 3 but never installed :(

[@joshcramer3578]

Can I set this up to play the SOCOM games online without the installation disc?

[@Red05x]

@@joshcramer3578 Well, SONY PS2 Online service ended long time ago but some people were able to "give it back". Please check some videos about it. Plus, if you have a game with the Installation, then yes, you can play SOCOM Games (from the other Servers).

[@richie1438]

PS2 still work online?

[@BRUHmOmEnT-lt1kj]

No

[@jusuuno]

but what if you have wifi

[@brandonlacombe663]

Do you need the cords to go with it

[@nihadasadli2642]

[@Randall8808]

you dont need a start up disk i didnt use one and i play mortal kombat armageddon online

[@361983200]

I don't have a PS2 but I wonder how many people still play the PS2 online.

[@EliutCaro]

[@Red05x]

Hi: Excellent, video.

[@TheEarthboundHeroacw]

[@Gold171]

[@captainclayman]
