minus-squareIngeniousRocks (They/She) @lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 hours agoWhat kind of HDD did you get? I’m trying to decide between a PATA IDE drive for authenticity or getting a new controller board for my PS2 to use a SATA drive I already have laying around. It’d certainly be easier to use the sata drive but like… Authenticity tho

minus-squareIngeniousRocks (They/She) @lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 hours agoNaur lol. The PS2 is already slightly modded, got it at a retro shop. Since the seals are broken, and work has already been done I have no qualms about modding it further. Also I don’t have an emulator that can output to a CRT sooooo… I just need freeHDloader and OPL on it because the motors in the optical drive are beginning to burn out.
