New Slimline PS2 Compatibility Issues

Posted by Zonk on from the doomed-to-forget-the-past dept.

Gamasutra reports that a new iteration of the PS2 hardware experiences issues with certain games, both from this and the last generation. From the article: "The listed games will only be affected on new models of the system, starting with the Satin Silver slimline PS2, so far announced only for Japan. Whether the SCPH-75000 model will eventually be the standard for all production PS2s is unknown, but Sony advises those wanting a thinner system which can play the aforementioned games to get a 70000 or above."

    ... but Sony can't even change the paint on their hardware without breaking compatibility?

    Ah-ha! So it's those damned home-brewers making life difficult for innocent pirates again, is it??

    10-to-1, somebody takes this post seriously and starts bitching at me for "supporting piracy"... :P

    Now there's a slogan.

    Anyone else get the feeling it might be quicker to cut out the middle man (Zonk) and just bookmark 1UP and Gamasutra directly? Although then we would miss out on the oddly-worded summaries...
