Title: USB Ports
Post by: pizzaman on February 10, 2002, 03:55:05 PM

I don\'t have a lot of knowledge about the PS2 as far as capability goes.  But i have to wonder, what can i do with those USB ports on the front of the system?  Can you save stuff to your computer for instance?  Download info to the ps2?  Thanks

nope there not for downloading, although someone might design something along those lines eventually


I use mine with my GTForce steering wheel

the USB port will be used for printers and cameras and other devices of such

They only look like usb ports, in reality they are micro cameras that Sony uses to spy on you, they judge the games actual reactions to a game. And Mr. Kutaragi himself uses the footige for his own sick sick video\'s. It\'s a conspiracy I tell ya.

:p

Actually, it is used for downloading.  Using the Shark Port you can download saved games and gameshark codes onto a memory card for the PS2.

Thanks for the info.  Since i don\'t have the steering wheel or a game shark, i have put electrical tape over the holes in order to block out anyone from snooping in.  Especially that Kutaragi! :laughing:

The GunCon2 plugs into your USB ports. Got two of them bad boys to go along with Time Crisis 2 and Vampire Night. :)
