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."

    It's not even smaller, the 7000x (slim) models aren't affected, only the new 7500x (silver slim) are.

  2. Buggy games? by oliverthered · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's quite possible that the game is buggy, but the bug didn't appear on the old architecture. There are quite a few games with bugs in then that don't appear on Windows but do appear in Wine, even though Wines API matches Windows API.
