The USBMOD will allow you to play backups from all regions. Original imports are not supported with this device

As standard no, like all other consoles the PS2 incorporates a standard territory lockout to only play the particular region it is made in. Mod chips are available and being tested to allow all region games to play on any console, this will be a simple installation such as that is used on the PS1, DC and SS.

There advertisements are false. Currently the Neo 2 is the best solution available. If there was a better chip out there, we would sell it ourselves.

No, some software was attemted to be developed to allow this some time back but limitations of the PS2 determined this was not possible.

No, the hardware is not the same, it is not backwards compatible and it does not have built in PS1/PS2 emulation.

Burn Game Station is testing all mods released for the PS2 and so far no solutions have proven to be fully reliable and offer enough functions for us to offer them to Members. New mods and designs have now been finalised for playback of all import games (US/JAP on PAL and vice versa). These mods are currently in the final stages of manufacture and once finished will be tested for quality.

The Xbox CAN play PS1, Gameboy, Nintendo 64, Sega Megadrive\Genesis, etc. These are commonly referred to as 'Roms'

Yes! They will! Sony Computer Entertainment boss Ken Kutaragi has confirmed that the Playstation 3 will feature backwards compatibility with the PS2 ans PS one. Later it was confirmed agin at the Sonys E3 conference that the PS3 will be fully backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2 games.

Yes and No, while we understand the real necessity for backups of your original games, we do not condone or promote piracy in any way. DVD-ROM titles cannot be copied as is it not feasible or cost effective to do so with DVD formatted titles.

Sony has promised backwards compatibility with PS2 games, but now there is talk that the emulation required to pull this off might not be ready for launch. It's also unknown if all PS2 games will be playable on the PS3 if the do pull off this backwards compatibility.

The short answer is you can't. The long answer is you can, but it's a pain. First you'd need to download Paradox's Console ID Changer: SKS Apps Then you'd need to find a valid PS2/ilink ID for the region you wish to play online games with. These ID's are hard to come by, if any online servers detect multiple Console ID's online at the same time, you will be banned permanently. This isn't like getting kicked off for an hour because of cheating or using a modchip, this is for good.

I have heard that it is possible to download Emus and Romz (snes, nes, sega, and on) and play them in xbox linux, now, is it possible to play PS2 games on a xbox running Linux? that is download the emulator and play ps2 from linux? I have heard it is possible but i have never seen it though. Emulators are for old generation games like GameBoy, Sega Genesis, NES, Super NES, N64, and the like. There isn't a good PS2 emulator available for a high end DESKTOP computer with a 2.

Unfortunately it has to be given the hardware of the PS2 but the vast majority of the game play will be the same as the next gen versions of Mercs 2. This said, I think it's looking really good (especially the character models!)

Yes- if you have a v.12 or 13 PS2. HD Connect is an IDE connector soldered to your slim PS2's motherboard which allows you to connect an IDE HD and play games off the Hard Drive. To do so, you will need a DMS 4 Pro SE modchip. HD Combo is a similar product which also runs off the DMS 4 Pro SE. A premodded DMS 4 Pro SE with HD Combo sells for around $270. Using ToxicOS, you're able to load games off the HD, like you would with a fat PS2. The solder points for HDConnect have been removed on the v.

Necronomicon, like most conventions, offers a number of games, both tabletops and freeforms, from a range of categories. Most conventions will include some horror, science fiction, fantasy, and comedy. Some games will be run using a particular games system, although players rarely need to have rules knowledge, and others will be systemless.

Download disk images (e.g. .dsk, .nib, .2mg files) and use these as virtual disks to play the games on a PC or Mac via Apple II or Apple IIgs emulator software. Popular Apple II emulators include AppleWin and Apple Oasis. Normally disk images will be in .zip or .gz compressed form when downloaded. Use WinZip or a similar utility to uncompress these files. Download and uncompress the disk images of games you want to play. Then, transfer the images to your Apple II (or IIgs)-- e.g.

Yes, though you won’t be able to use your old controllers, memory cards, or other peripherals. The PS3 will upscale the PSOne and PS2 games’ video to HD resolutions, should you choose.

I imagine that most devices use simple bilinear filtering to upscale an image. The downside of this is softer edges. I think I’ve seen descriptions of algorithms that attempt to find hard edges in the source material and to preserve them after upscaling. Amish Gramish : I still can't believe it, but Lair is playable on the PSP through Remote Play. &link& I hope that link works Burten : Im in...! Wait .. Goddamit! My sixaxis is broken.. I can see Warhawk, but not download... uuU...

Yes: Emulators - NG Emulation source for Xbox, GBA, Nintendo 64, PSP, Nintendo DS and more! Hold on there speedy. First you'd need to find the PS2 bios via Google. Then you'd have to configure the plugins to get your games to load. There in lies the problem. There is little support and even less functionality for PS2 emulators. Most only load demos, and freeze when attempting to load a whole iso. In short, not worth it unless you're really desperate.

Emulators - NG Emulation source for Xbox, GBA, Nintendo 64, PSP, Nintendo DS and more! These are a lot more doable IF: You find the PSX bios. For copyright purposes think Google. Then you have to have a reasonably powerful PC, let's say with around 512MB's of RAM. Then you have to configure the audio, video, and CD-ROM plug ins. These will differ greatly from game to game. Mix, match, and google are your friends once again. The two most stable PSX emulators seem to be PSXeven or ePSXe.

Original import games can not be played. The backups of the import games work with the USBMDO. PSX backups load directly, for playing PS2 backups you will need the Game Shark2 (US PS2) or Action Replay2 (PAL PS2).

I have received an online delivery email with download URL and extraction password, but have no idea how to download, install and register the program.

No. There are some games that people could see as "ports" (GT4, Tony Hawks Underground 2 and Hot Shots Golf for example), but the amount of games like that are very few compared to all the brand new games being developed for the PSP. Those "ports" all feature new content as well.

No, the PS2 games utilise new technology and processor intensive tasks that the PS1 cannot perform. The PS2 is a whole new machine, however Sony have included the original PS1 chipset for backwards compatibility, meaning you can play [some] PS1 games on a PS2, but not the other way around.

If you're too lazy to read, use Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, or Maxell High Grade (DVD+R's). The PS2 laser is picky, these are the only three types of media you should trust for maximum reliability and compatibility with your PS2. Avoid Memorex, Staples, Imation, Dynex, Princo, Bulqpaq, etc. If you really want to do the PS2 backup thing right, pick up some Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim's. I only burn to TYG02, the 8x Taiyo Yuden DVD-R's.

We do not offer advice on this subject although much success is found when using some of the best commercially available CDR writing software packages.

Hi, My dad, Anthony Eoviero trained at Sampson 11-15-1944 for 10 weeks. I beleive he was in Co. 481 Farragat. If anyone has any information or pictures of this company/or my dad, please contact me. He passed away in 1995. If anyone knows anything about Lt. CDR. Lincoln Ramsey, I would like to hear from you. He was with the dental core aboard the USS Sanborn. (I accidentally posted this as a reply to another message.) What an interesting and informative website.

This problem is usually due to incorrect installation, solder shorts, poor CDR media or requirement for potentiometer adjustment on the PS2 laser assembly. As each PS2 USBMOD is tested in a externally socketed PS2 console before shipping it is extremely unlikely that the mod chip is at fault. If during the installation process the mainboard to laser unit ribbon was removed/disconnected then check that this ribbon cable has a good connection.
