Title: PS2 Customization ?
Post by: squirrel on March 11, 2002, 03:57:59 PM

Has anyone seen anything or tried to do any customization to their PS2s? I was just thinking about how people do it with their PC cases and was wondering if anyone had thought of or tried doing it with their ps2.

What do u mean with thier PC Cases, u mean adding things inside the tower or something? Very easy to do. Uh, I wouldn\'t risk trying to customize ur PS2 in some way, you\'ll problly just end up breaking it or something. There were these cool picks that someone showed not far back of a watercooled Xbox customization someone did.

PC cust. is really easy because there are a couple "bonus" power connections for lights and stuff.  PS2 doesn\'t have that, so most decorative modding need separate power sources.  The only thing I can think of is the Blue light-up FFX stand that you can get.  Otherwise, you might as well spend some cash modifying your entertainment center.

I did actually see a customised PS2, the only thing changed was the case tho, it was sort of see thru blue, it looked pretty cool, it invalidates the warranty tho, but what does that matter seeing as a lot of people here have had their PS2 over a year

mmh PS2 customization? Wouldn\'t have an idea to why I would do something like that. I would find a Xbox customization to be much more interesting.. perhaps trying to fit its motherboard into a PS2 case (or anything smaller than that Xbox case)... mmh yeah, I think I\'m on to something here... :)

/jk :D

Surely adding a better graphics card will do very little as the games are only designed for use on a regular PS2 system. I may be wrong, but i dunno.

Just adding a better graphics card will not make the games look better, you are right about that one. I say anyone with intentions to make their PS2 put out better graphics feel free! Then when you void out your warranties and screw up the system by being a dumba$$ you can tell people who ask these stupid questions how much of a dumba$$ you were to mess with your PS2 and had to go out a buy another one.:rolleyes:

Actually, adding a video card to my PS2 proved a worthwhile investment for me.  I also added some RAM, and increased the VRAM while I was at it.  By doing this, Kasumi\'s titties became a little bigger and bounced more.  Yesterday I was playing FFX, and halfway through the game, Rikku came out of the screen.  She turned out to be a pretty nice girl.  Tomorrow, I think I\'ll go visit my parents and introduce them to her.  Hopefully they like her, but I dunno, my parents are kinda like Wakka, and don\'t like her race much.  Maybe they won\'t notice her eyes.

Serious answer :

Well...I was think of  taking off the case and spray painting the whole thing flat white. Of course, I\'ll need to add primer first.

Quite frankly, the only way to customize is by adding the vertical stand.

Up or down.

Thats it.
