That chat gpt intro was the most DougDoug delivery I’ve ever heard. Love it.

Brazil Mentioned! We REALLY love PS2 around here, i had 5 while growing up (2005-2015).

I’m pretty sure the issue with Half Life not being read is an issue of the Disc Reader dying, the issue stems from the part of the laser that reads CD’s

2:56 truly a world crispiest fries moment

I love looking at the gaming bits. I'm such a pervert.

I have CONSISTENTLY laughed out loud at the “half life scientist screaming while absurd gore comes out of the wire I’m cutting” joke every time you do it

9:23 we got Mrs. Bringus before GTA VI

If you hated replacing the fan, you'll absolutely despise replacing the clock battery. You have to take off all the shielding on the motherboard to replace a 2032 battery. Also, 700mb for the OPL partition is NOT enough if you plan on having box art for all your games. Once it fills up, OPL refuses to save settings (because there's no storage left). It did this to me after about 100 games, and when you realize how good the PS2 library is, 100 isn't a lot.

I am from Brazil and i confirmed that ps2 is loved he. I grow up with it while the ps4 was being released. And to this you can still find ps2 for sale here.

Hi, I'm from Brazil and I wanted to say something that shocked me PS2 HAS NATIVE SUPPORT FOR LINUX (I'm sure a lot of people know but when I found out it was a mind blowing) (and I'm very grateful for mentioning Brazil, I've been following you for a while and seeing my country being mentioned is really cool, so Hello FROM BRAZIL)

Here in Brazil, the PS2 is so popular that to this day, you can still find stores selling PS2 games. Here we have this thing called "popular market" where people sell everything you can imagine and in every one of these, you can easily find at least 5 people selling a bunch of PS2 games. And thanks to that we got gaming masterpieces like Bomba Patch, GTA São Paulo, GTA Rio de Janeiro, GTA 4 for PS2 and GTA Armageddon. As you can see, people around here loved GTA. If you had a PS2, you were obligated to have at least one GTA. I remember playing the shit out of GTA San Andreas on my PS2, so much so that I had to replace my San Andreas disk at least 5 times. Unfortunately, the disk reador of my PS2 that I had since I was a child broke and I'm too lazy to fix it. Maybe someday I will do it but today is not that day.

Bro the modding the ps2 is so dam fun it’s verry simple compared to other consoles and the community is also amazing for these. Glad you made a video about this

Brazil mentioned now its time to mod a zeebo and install steam os in it

The PS2 actually can do "HD" output! Some games from the very end of the active lifespan of the console support it, too! I think the last Gran Turismo game that was supported on PS2 is one of those games. You do need to get a component AV cable to replace the default composite one in order to get HD output, though.

13:23 Bringus: suffers when removing ps2 according to iFixIt Macho Nacho: need help?

btw you don't even need an optical drive, any consumer-grade DVD drive can read PS2 CD/DVD games, that's usually how i rip them.

Eternally blessed by your sfx and bgm choices

23:21 the disc dump feature is literally a lens killer btw. hdloader is pretty old, from 2004

fun fact, you can literally just lift the entire thing out of the case, there’s no need to remove the optical drive. also, on my first (very worn out) ps2, i had to keep the top case off and press a screwdriver on the center of the disc drive to get it to boot anything
