PS2 Gets A Working Divx Player

Posted by Hemos on from the no-sorenson-yet dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Over the weekend, the PS2reality team released the first working Divx player for the Playstation 2. Site is in spanish, so try using babel for translation. Works with Divx 3 and up. You can also swap your avi cd-roms if you have a modchip or you can use the other various swap techniques out there for the PS2. Divx player does require some way of booting the homebrew program, either no-swap modchip or modchip+bootdisc( e.g swap magic, gameshark, etc.) would work."

    Well if we all have computers why go buy a ps2 and try and modifiy it when you can watch it on the computer. Seems like a risky way to blow up your ps2.

    I am not lugging my PC downstairs just to watch a movie thanks.

    That said, it would probably be less hassle all round to buy a DVD player with VCD capability and reencode the DivXs to VCD.
