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.
Internet
play for less:
To have Internet play with spending less money, buy a USB to ethernet
adapter if you have a Cable or DSL modem. Directly connect it to either one
of these, or if you have a router, connect it through there. The back of Tony
Hawk's Pro Skater 3, an online game, will give you further instructions.
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(2) 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.
Change
or delete parental lock:
Press Start when prompted to enter the code. Once you get to where
you enter the numbers, press Start and you will be asked if you want
to delete it. You can also enter another code instead of deleting it. The
master code is 7444. Enter it, and at the last "4", press Select
at the same time. Do this again, and you will eventually get the option to
delete the lock. Enter 7444 again to delete the code.
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.
In-game

While playing most games, press Start + Select + R1 + R2
+ L1 + L2 to return to the game's main menu.
Pink
flying squares:
Insert a blank CD-R to see pink squares flying around.
Cubes: The amount of space used in memory card one will determine the
number of cubes seen when the PlayStation2 is turned on.
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.
Cleaning:
Buy a can of electronics duster to clean the interior of the PlayStation
easily and effectively while it is on or off. Note: Cleaning the fan in the
back the PlayStation2 must be done while it is off to ensure that there is
no damage from the fan being spun the wrong way while in motion.
Glitch:
Disable controller's analog feature:
When turning the system and the PlayStation2 logo appears, tap Analog
rapidly until the main menu of your game appears. If done correctly, the
analog feature will be off and cannot be used until button is tapped again.
Note: This does not work on some games, such as Grand Theft Auto: San
Andreas.
