Title: controllers dont work??
Post by: phson on May 19, 2001, 05:19:59 PM

I doubt it\'s this but if you have any memory cards in your memory card slots take them out.. if the controllers work then, it means that you\'ve screwed your mem card..

my controllers arent responding.. like the game says press start, nothing happens.. controller slot 1 nothing happens, controller slot 2 only works when i\'m in the system configuration menu, not during a game. hope that makes more sense.

Did your PS2 work fine before you put in the gameshark 2?  Maybe the gameshark 2 lock up the ports.

No, but I think you blown the port circuits.

Wait.....maybe you can reset it.  Try unpluging the PS2 from the wall, and wait 2 min.  Then plug it back and turn on the PS2. I hope this works! Try it and post back. :D

Hmmm you might wanna try phoning Sony\'s 1-800 number and checking with them. I know this isn\'t the most helpful but I really can\'t think of much else to do. Hope you figure it out.
