@ElDeadKennedy @ooignignoktoo @why Grab a Wii. They have surprisingly fun games, can run GC games natively, on top of Triforce Arcade games, and they're not HD, so they support 240p IIRC, which older consoles were, so if you have CRTs still it's a fantastic emulation machine

@coolboymew @why I think if it's a fat model you can install an internal drive but if it's a slim model or if you don't want to use an internal drive you can use a USB drive

@ElDeadKennedy @coolboymew @why
On slim PS2's you're better off loading / booting games using the netboot feature on Free McBoot.
Slim PS2's have an integrated modem for online functionality using a 10/100 ethernet jack and is much faster than the limitations of the USB 1.1 bus that PS2 consoles use. You can load games via USB but your mileage may vary. Especially with cutscenes which are a huge part of PS2's game feature set.

@coolboymew @why well you don't need the cd drive you can load games from an external drive so ig a non-working drive is a non-issue

@why broken? Did you buy one broken on purpose for super cheap in an attempt to fix it? (Which most of them is just dusting the lens and playing with the CD drive gears or something and that's it?)
