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."

    You can also use the QCast Tuner to play DivX on your PS2 although I think the methodology is different. It looks like the QCast simply makes your PS2 a TV out using the networking adapter whereas the PS2Reality lets you play Divx off a burned CD. At least... that's what it sounds like... I can't get to the article.
