PS One games on PlayStation2 memory card
The PlayStation2 will not recognize a PlayStation2
memory card when a PS One game is being played. However, you can
use a PlayStation2 memory card to store any PS One game, freeing
up more space for other PS One games. Simply use the PlayStation2's
internal memory manager to transfer all your PS One saves from
a PS One memory card to a PlayStation2 memory card. When you need
to play from a saved PS One game, just transfer the file back
to a PS One memory card.
Memory card character actions
This trick can be done with certain PlayStation2 games.
Go into the Browser screen and select the memory card. Then, choose
a game and select "Delete"; but do not delete the saved
game. The character should do a different action then when you
first entered the memory card screen. For example, with an Onimusha
save game, choose that save and select "Delete" when
prompted. The system should ask you to confirm the deletion, but
at the same time the character should be doing a different action
than the first time.
Turn off parental lock
Insert a DVD. When the movie starts, press [Select]
to go to the menu. Find the "Setup" icon and select
it. When in the setup menu, press [Right]x2 to get to the
custom setup. Go down to "Parental Control" and press
[Right] to go to "Region", then go down to go to
"Level". You can now turn the parental control on or
off, and/or change the password.
Quick start
Instead pressing "Restart" to start the PlayStation2,
press "Eject". It should go through the flying in introduction
a lot faster than normal. Note: You need to do this immediately
after you turn on the main power from the back.
Pink flying squares
Insert a blank CD-R to see pink squares flying around.
Bypass DVD regional lockout (Japanese version)
Note: This trick requires an original non-analog PlayStation
controller and a PlayStation2 console with the launch version
DVD utility software and memory card package. Plug the controller
into port one. Place a DVD disc in the system and hold [Up]
until the DVD player menu appears. Release [Up], and select
the play icon.
Alternately, hold [L1] + [Select] + [Circle] buttons
while the PlayStation2 console is turned on. Insert the DVD disc
and play.
Free up memory cards
This trick requires the Official Sony PlayStation HDD.
Select your PlayStation or PlayStation2 memory card at the browser
screen. Under "Copy" you should see the HDD. Select
it, and copy. You now have more space on your card. You can also
copy it back from the HDD using the same process. You can also
make folders in the HDD and then copy the saves to them to keep
it more organized.
