Had these games for 20+ years but all good things must come to an end. End of an era.

Haven't played this since 2005. Brings back many childhood memories.

I wanted to do an internal HD mod on my PS2 but also keep the disc drive, so that’s what I ended up doing. I plan to polish and make a custom on this.

used the case from another broken PS2 I already had to build the structure, though I might 3D print it in the future.

Finally decided to take all of my Playstation 2 and 3 games out of storage to display, and more importantly, to play.

All of these games were bought new on the day of release, are CIB and in mint condition.

The things you find from a random dude clearing out old storage units. Guitar is mint, no scratches on the button sides. Sticker sheet with the manual is sealed too.

God of War 2005

Download PS2Manager

The new version 1.05 is here!

HDD SUPPORT

PS2Manager now supports PS2 HDDs using the APA format!

You can now connect a PS2 HDD and view its contents directly through PS2Manager.

The HDD support currently allows you to:

• View the contents of an APA-formatted PS2 HDD
• Extract content from the HDD
• Create a complete .img image containing the entire HDD contents

The HDD browser is currently designed for viewing and extracting data. It does not modify the original APA HDD contents.

This can be especially useful for inspecting existing PS2 HDD setups, backing up data, extracting files, or preserving an entire HDD as an image.

OPL COVERS

PS2Manager can now automatically download game covers for OPL.

Instead of manually searching for and downloading cover images, PS2Manager can retrieve the appropriate cover for your game and make it easier to prepare your OPL setup.

This makes preparing an OPL game library much faster, especially when managing a large number of games.

1.04:

USB UTIL

Many people probably already know USBUtil, especially those who use FAT32 flash drives.

Since FAT32 cannot store files larger than 4 GB, PS2 ISOs larger than 4 GB cannot simply be transferred to the destination drive.

PS2Manager can now split these ISOs into multiple parts, allowing OPL to run them easily from a FAT32 device.

DISC ANALYZER

With a DVD or CD drive and a PS2 game disc inserted, Disc Analyzer can read and display information from the disc.

This can be very useful for specific cases where you need to inspect the information contained on a physical PS2 disc.

PS1 BIN > ISO

This feature is available in ISO Extract / Repack.

It allows you to convert BIN game files, such as PS1 games, into ISO format.

This can be useful for converting compatible PS1 BIN files into a format that OPL can execute, without needing POPStarter.

GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS

The Settings section now includes a feature that is still in beta, but the UI should now feel smoother overall.

There are also several new functions, improvements, and bug fixes throughout PS2Manager.

NEW SUPPORT

PS2Manager can now run on Windows 7 through Windows 8.1!

And wait — the Linux version is coming!

Even though PS2Manager is written in Python, many of its functions currently depend on Windows-specific features.

Because of this, the Linux version requires many parts of the code to be rewritten from the ground up.

1.03 and 1.02:

CREATE CHEATS

Now, instead of manually creating .cht files for OPL, PS2Manager can automatically create them for you!

However, it currently only creates the basic format. For example:

God of War 2 /ID SCUS_974.81

Mastercode
(your mastercode)

// Fly
(code)

And of course, the .cht system is still buggy and may have many issues, but these problems will be fixed in future updates.

ZSO FORMAT

PS2Manager now supports compressing an ISO or BIN file into ZSO format, the official format supported by OPL.

This can drastically reduce the size of the ISO, which is especially useful for FAT32 flash drives.

This feature is available in ISO Extract / Repack.

IMPROVEMENTS

ISO Extract / Repack and DVD/CD Ripper now work!

If you're new to PS2Manager, here's what these two tools do:

ISO Extract / Repack

Tools for extracting the contents of PlayStation 2 ISO files and rebuilding them when necessary.

This can be useful for inspecting disc contents, modifying files, applying patches or translations, working on game modifications, and rebuilding an ISO after making changes.

DVD/CD Ripper

A tool for ripping discs and creating digital copies of compatible CDs and DVDs.

This allows physical media to be preserved as digital files and used with other PS2-related tools or emulators.

PCSX2 Emulator

A dedicated section for PCSX2, allowing users to access and manage their PS2 emulation workflow directly through PS2Manager.

This can be useful for testing games, checking ISOs, testing homebrew, and verifying files before using them on a real PS2.

OPL Apps (Homebrews)

A section dedicated to Open PS2 Loader (OPL) applications and homebrew.

It helps OPL run ELF files by creating the necessary files required for them to work properly.

ISO Extract / Repack

Tools for extracting the contents of PlayStation 2 ISO files and rebuilding them when necessary.

This can be useful for inspecting disc contents, modifying files, applying patches or translations, working on game modifications, and rebuilding an ISO after making changes.

DVD/CD Ripper

A tool for ripping discs and creating digital copies of compatible CDs and DVDs.

This allows physical media to be preserved as digital files and used with other PS2-related tools or emulators.

USB Manager

A dedicated USB management section for PS2 users.

It is designed to make USB storage-related tasks easier, including file management and preparing devices for PS2-related use, such as games, homebrew, and other applications.

Clone Drive

A drive cloning tool designed to create a copy of an existing storage device.

This can be useful for migrating a PS2 setup to another drive or duplicating an existing storage configuration.

Format & Migrate

A tool for formatting storage devices without losing any data.

Settings

The PS2Manager configuration section, where users can manage application settings and customize how the program behaves.

The Goal of PS2Manager

The main goal of PS2Manager is to bring multiple PS2-related tools together into a single application.

PS2 users often need several different programs for tasks such as managing ISOs, testing games with PCSX2, working with OPL homebrew, managing HDDs, and more.

Instead of keeping all these utilities separated across different applications, PS2Manager aims to provide a centralized environment for these tasks.

The project is intended for PlayStation 2 enthusiasts, OPL users, homebrew developers and users, emulator users, game preservation enthusiasts, and anyone who frequently works with PS2 games and storage devices on Windows.

Development Status

PS2Manager is still under development, so many bugs and errors may still be present.

If you find any bugs, errors, or unexpected behavior, please report them so they can be investigated and fixed in future versions.

A while ago, I bought an HDMI converter. Is that supposed to look blurry and the screen darker than usual where it is dark? (I’m on the Prague level) I might be blowing things out of proportion.

Around 2 months ago I went ahead and bought a Slim (scph-79003) The one with plastic clips to prevent the ribbon cable from scratching games. It was in mint condition so it wasn’t cheap but the laser had died so that needing replacing but that was an easy fix.

Ever since then I’ve been trying to get all the games that I had when I was a teenager so I’ve been adding to the collection from then on. I have had a blast with all these man.

All games come with manuals and inserts. San Andreas has the poster in mint condition.

After a 20 year absence and the constant regret of selling my PS2 for peanuts I decided to correct the mistake. I almost can’t believe how many good games are available. Scarface is a true gem. Ace Combat 4 is amazing. Still more to get but nice to be home.

Hello everyone:) I recently found a Fujitsu Plasma P42VHA30AS. It was on the side of the road for rubbish collection (FREEE:)

Since folks are demanding blood money for decent l CRTs in this economy I have considered that this may be a great alternative display for playing PS2 titles.

My console is a ps3 with partial backwards compatability using a ps2 GPU (cechc02) and cpu emulation.

What is our prefered display method and what cables are we all using? I think this plasma will look great for ps2 titles. What cables would you folks recommend? HD retro visions look expensive and I doubt it would be noticeable on this type of display.

I cannot try it out yet as I only have HDMI (this display will not accept it)

is this signature worth it or should I use isopropyl

Great art design, and absolutely loved Fran's voice actor.

Found this while doing some research and apparently this Collector's Edition was exclusively released in Russia.

Unboxing video for anyone interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCR-DK1jE44

Seems to be extremely rare, because I can't find anything other than this picture and the unboxing video.

Well friends, it happened to me. I found a PS2 fat at Goodwill for $25 and ended up paying only $20 with a coupon. Unfortunately no cables, but I ordered some on Amazon to see if she works. Wish me luck. 🫡
