Hello all. I just got a new ps2 last week. Its the slimline scph-75003
model.

When I bought it, I bought some pre-owned games too.

2 of the games always crashed at the same point every time.

I looked at the sony playstation web site to find that the new ps2 has
problems
playing some ps2 games.

GAH.

When I buy a game and it doesn't work, I am going to have trouble taking
it
back aren't I ?

Did I just waste £100 here ?

it does have problems with some PS2 games, but its a very small
percentage iirc.

i'd say your problem is more likely to be damaged game discs if theyre
crashing at the same point.

which games are they, out of interest?

seek and destroy :

The logo / intro comes on as normal, then the screen goes black and hangs
If no memory card is in then I get the logo/intro then a confirmation screen
prompting me for a card, then black screen/hang


i think you should count your blessings that doesn't work. its
probably one of the worst S2 games i've ever played.


International cue club 2

On a two player game practice mode, the tune plays in the background.
When the tune ends and the tune is replayed, it hangs at the start of the
tune.
"da - da -da -da -da- " is repeated and the sytem hangs
If I turn music off then it works fine also, If I play a different mode with
the same music it works fine

sounds weird that, but again, not exactly a great game so id hardly
feel robbed of £100 for not being able to play it :)



the playstation website mentions cue club 2 (amongst others) but not seek
and destroy.

I wonder how many games they actually tested

tekken 5 is listed as not working.

I did read somewhere thet if tekken 3 arcarde mode is selected it sometimes
hangs after player select.

heh and people slag off MS for the 360's lacklustre attempts at
backwards compatibility when sony can't even get games working on the
platform they were designed for ;)

im very surprised that tekken 5 doesnt work though, i mean it was
released after the slimline ps2 hit the market!
