New Slimline PS2 Compatibility Issues

Posted by Zonk on Saturday October 22, 2005 @08:37AM 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 would seem odd that just "changing the paint" on the system would make it do this, which is exactly why it must be an internal change. There's likely upgraded parts, to be cheaper or less power hungry, that's causing this.
