Ps2 info
I am considering purchasing a PS2 I found that claimed to be functioning properly, but it had a minor issue: when the disk drive was ejected, it produced a rattling sound. Should I buy it despite that? Or is it just a small problem? I recently bought a PS2 fat from my local market for £10. It powers on and loads disks, but I don’t receive a signal. I’m using an HDMI to PS2 adapter. The monitor only displays the message *Not Optimum Recommend 1920 x 1080 HDMI*, and it only appears when a disk is in the drive. I don’t have a controller, but I know a PS3 is available and I tried using it, though no lights came on. I was hoping this PS2 would work—it’s in very good condition, and the only dust visible is on the fan. I can’t see any scratches.
What HDMI adapter were you using? The problem seems to be that it doesn't scale to 1080. If your TV has a setting for 1080i or 720p, try that instead. A better option would be a TV with an AV input. The PS2 doesn't support USB controllers, so you need to find a PS2 controller or an adapter.
I am surprised to discover such an old item that doesn't immediately respond... I suppose it might be possible because there is no visible output.
The PS2 lacks a red ring. It only has a power LED, and it functions or not accordingly.
RRoD was an unsuccessful project where the output displayed a red screen or ring, occasionally accompanied by a failure message.
This PS2 to HDMI converter adapter is a PS2 to HDMI video converter with a 3.5mm audio cable for HDTV. It connects to an AV to HDMI monitor and supports all PlayStation 2 display modes. I don’t have a TV, but I own my own one. I’m planning to get a PS2 controller, though the PS3 controller should work with its USB port.
I was part of the process the converter adapter used with all models.
The PS2 to HDMI converter allows connecting your PS2 game console to a high-resolution TV or HDMI monitor, enabling simultaneous audio and video output, and supports all PS2 display modes 480i/576i/480.
There are many items available on ebay, and several of them have been restored.
