For the adapter, choose the VGA you use on your computer. You can change the aspect ratio to Widescreen or fit Window to make the emulator fullscreen. Choose the one that gives you the best experience. But keep in mind that not all of them will have the same performances, so you need to change the settings to suitable for your PC specs. I hope you can enjoy the weekend with your favorite old-school PS2 games. Like DVDs, PS2 games can freeze up or skip because of dirt, smudges or scratches on the data side of the disc.
Fortunately, you can take care of all of these problems using a lint-free cloth and some toothpaste. By following a few simple steps, you can get your PS2 game discs back in working order in under 10 minutes.
Wipe off any loose particles from the data side of the PS2 disc. Use gentle, circular motions to avoid scratching the disc. Bring your Playstation 2 back over to your TV and plug it back in. It's time to test out all the games and find out what's wrong. You'll also need the black cover that goes above the loading tray, your games, and a dark felt-tip marker.
The can of air can't hurt either. After you plug the PS2 in, hit the eject button. Be careful, it's on the lid dangling by a cable. With the tray open, unplug the PS2. Now we have access to the lens and everything else underneath the tray. Spray it out with the can of air, but be careful not to spray the lens directly.
Pick any hairs out in the general vicinity of the lens. You can also use the master power switch on the back to turn the PS2 off. Finally, what we've been looking for You'll notice there's a white disc behind the lens that is circled in yellow with a red mark on it. This is a gear that adjusts the level of the lens. Don't touch it! Grab your felt-tip marker and mark the original position.
If you're looking at the unit from the front, the left edge of the gear will be touching a silver plate, about where that red line is. Put a little mark perpendicular to this. If all else fails, you can always go back to this spot and it won't be any worse off than before. Turn the gear clockwise a little bit. You will notice the lens rising a bit, as every clockwise turn raises the lens.
Once you reach a certain point, however, the lens will drop all the way to the bottom and start moving up again. Thankfully, Sony was sane and the range of movement is exactly one turn of the gear.
This means you'll always be able to return the gear to its starting position. Turn the gear clockwise until you hear a click and see the lens drop to the bottom.
As a side note, this is where I depart from other repair FAQ's. They always suggest adjusting the lens from where you find it, but starting at the bottom seems to give you the best chance of finding the real sweet spot for the lens. Plug just one controller into the front of your PS2. With the lens at the bottom position, put a game in the tray. Start with your PSone game. Place the black lid on top of the tray and lightly but firmly hold it down.
Too hard and your game will click as it tries to spin, too light and the lid will fly off! Plug your PS2 back in and turn it on. The tray should close. Let's turn on the TV and see if it works! After the splash screen, hit X to open the browser.
Now we get to wait and see whether it loads! You've been seeing this all too often lately Success! With any luck, it will load at least one of your games. That's great, but we picked out four different titles for a reason! The Blue is the most difficult, so after you get your first successful load, you may want to start with it instead of a PSone game.
If at least one of your discs doesn't load, don't fret. Eject your disc and unplug the PS2 with the tray open. Take the black lid off and let's look at that gear again. Pop the game in, put the lid back on, and try again. Repeat this until the games all show up in the browser window. Remember to turn the PS2 off between tries, as there's a class 1 laser in there.
Once you've got all your games showing up in the browser, try and load them. It's very possible that the PS2 will need some adjustments before it can play the games. Also, listen to the PS2. The lid is off so it will be much louder than normal, but grinding noises are still bad.
This can occur if the lens is right up against the disc or if it's too far away — you'll have to listen to how your own PS2 behaves, each one is slightly different. Again, the blue games, like Contra, are the most difficult to get to work. If you get this far, you're doing great! Once you find a good position, test the heck out of it.
Load all the games and DVDs, make sure they all start. With your DVD, scan ahead a few chapters. Turn it off, use the bathroom, come back and make sure it still works.
Just like with your computer, as soon as you put the case back on and the screws in, you're that much more likely to remember you find something failing because you didn't test it. Try and load a saved game, too, just be careful with the memory card slots. They're wide open now and it's easy to pop it in at an angle if you're not watching. Now that you're sure that everything's working, time to put it back together. Eject the tray, take your game, and let it close this time before unplugging it.
Bring the PS2 back to your workbench to finish it up. Start putting the screws back in. The black lid is held down by the four small screws. Just like when you were holding it down with your hand, screw them in so they're applying light but firm pressure. If you tighten them all the way, it will push the disc down even more. After that's on, slide the top lid back on — careful about the ribbon and the ports again — and flip the Playstation 2 over.
Put the bottom lid back on and then start with the screws. Here's a picture again so you know where the long ones go — they're the ones circled in red. Feet go on the four corners of the bottom section, regular tabs for the rest.
