Ok they are specific to the ps2. I can't get a computer memory card and use it for the ps2?

USB flash drive ≠ PS2 Memory Card

[spoiler][/spoiler]

Something like this won't work? It HAS to be a PS2 memory card product? Cause I know I have something like that...

[Led]

kit, i don't think they would sell something called a "ps2 memory card" that looks totally nothing like anything else ever produced and have it be compatible with anything else

[Kit Fisto]

Yesh! Ok sorry. I was just making sure so that I wouldn't purchase something unessecary.

Now onto the next issue, how much memory should I get? 2? 16? 100?
My guess is that it would hold like 5-6 games...

[Black Water]

Well i finished campaign or whatever its called like in a day. After that all i did was play on single player as player1. Didnt need to save anything so... .

That's a ps2 memory card. It's a whopping 8 MB! That was a lot compared to the ps1 memory card storage. Keep in mind that the ps2 was released in 2000 and SD cards weren't around then. They used mostly proprietary stuff in consoles back in the day. It has its own memory cards and controller ports.

Also you can't store games on the memory card. It's only for game saves.

A PS2 game is usually ~4 GB so it's safe to say that there's no way of putting a game on the memory card.

[Kit Fisto]

Oh ok, thanks AG! So I'm safe at getting an 8 MB Memory card.

What would I do without you all! 

So this is truly all the things I need to get my PS2 to work properly on my TV?

-PlayStation2 Console
-PlayStation2 Memory Card (8MB)
-2 Sony PlayStation 2 Dual Shock Controllers ( plus the one that comes with the console )
-SWBF
-SWBFII

And the component cable! Don't forget about the component cable because it makes all the difference!

[Kit Fisto]

Oh wait, here is the product details of the PS2 console

Important Information:
Pre-Owned PS2 System Contains:

1 - PS2 System - color may vary.
1 - Controller - style may vary
1 - AC cable
1 - Standard AV cable

are the AC cables and standard AV cable the component cable(s)? I am really dumb when it comes to console talk, sorry.

AC Cables are power cables for the console, AV Cables are for video/audio output.

[Kit Fisto]

So I don't need a component cable. Is that the thing that makes it all HD? Cause I don't want that at the moment...

[deadmeow]

Component cable will give you the nice picture, and that is optional and cheap.

[aeria.]

The only PS2 game I'm aware of that is in HD is Gran Turismo 4. Regardless, component cables are important!

The PS2 comes with composite cables, which is an older way to display video. Component cables gives the picture better color and makes it sharper. If you're using an old CRT television the differences in image quality isn't much but on an HDTV it definitely makes the graphics more tolerable.

Here's Twilight Princess:


While that screenshot has sharpness on a little bit too high, it still shows how clear the differences are. The ground texture alone is an improvement!
