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.

Yes, but only with Linux and homebrew software. PSBBN checks the firmware of the HDD and Sony customizes the firmware of their HDD units. Until someone manages to crack the firmware and make it so you can put the changes on your own hard drive, you need an official HDD unit from Sony to use with games. Here's proof that the Sony HDD is just a relabled Maxtor hard drive. I've scanned my hard drive right here.

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.

yes; if you have softmodde you xbox with e.g. unleashx you can go into the system settings an scroll right down and it sayes "copy games to hdd"

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.

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.

That depends entirely upon "how crashed" the drive is. But SpinRite is often credited with performing "true miracles" of data recovery. Please read some of the true-life SpinRite testimonials we have received to get a sense for what SpinRite has done and can probably do for you if you ever need it. It is obviously possible for a drive to be so totally dead that it is only useful as a door stop. But today's modern drives struggle to stay alive and to die slowly.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Unfortunately, this is not possible as this will be in violation of the copyright terms of the background music that we used for the slideshow. Please wait for the CD to become available instead. I clicked on the other menu links of the movie (eg, About Parent's Wish, View Feedback, etc) but it did not open up those links. Please tell me that this isn't a film to defend the 'right to die' movement and euthanasia.

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.

BitTorrent, P2P, IRC, or newsgroups. BitTorrent is the easiest and most common way. You need a BT client like µtorrent, Bit Tornado, Azureus, Bitlord, Bitcomet, Shareza, etc. It is assumed you are backing up your own store-bought PS2 games!

WinRescue will back up to an external harddrive as long as it is listed in Windows Explorer as a regular harddrive. WinRescue backs up files and not a harddrive image. So, the harddrive's boot information is not backed up. Making a Boot Disk in WinRescue (95/98/ME) will save the boot information on a diskette.

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.

Almost all movies are encrypted with CSS copy protection. (See 1.11). Decryption keys are stored in a normally inaccessible area of the disc. If you copy the contents of an encrypted DVD to a hard drive, the keys will not be copied. If you try to play the VOB files, the decoder will request the keys from the DVD-ROM drive and will fail. You may get the message "Cannot play copy protected files". DVD production has two basic phases: development and replication.

A - We can't prevent it since the technology that verifies that a disc is an original PSX title, is patented by Sony and if we used it, we would be in violation of that. You're allowed by law to make a backup "archival" copy of any software you own. But the PlayStation hardware isn't designed to play anything but their specially-mastered CDs. So even if you make a backup, you can't use it. And since you only get a 30-day warranty, if your original CD is ever damaged, you're out of luck.

Just use your order number to re-register by going to help/register... If you do not know your order number send an email to support@modelworks.com with your name, email address, the name of the product and when and where you purchased it. If it was purchased by someone other than you, please provide details.

Ans: A standard 40-wire IDE cable WILL work with ATA-33, ATA-66, ATA-100 or ATA-133 drives but it will only allow 33MB/s performance. However, it is recommended that you use an Ultra ATA 80-wire/40-pin cable no matter what your drive rating for several reasons: wire/40-pin cables offer improved data reliability and signal integrity by adding 40 more ground wires than standard 40-wire/40-pin IDE cables.

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...

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.
