!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

The optimal ps2 is one with a hard drive and freemcboot.

Certain models had really unreliable disc drives

Like for example, I have an SCPH-30001 that is infamous for its laser carraige going out of alignment. There were a lot of different drives designed for the thing so there's a lot that can go wrong

I don't know what I have, but it's bad to this day. Takes so many tries to get a game going.

Or just not loading anything at all. I remember the older black discs that some PS2 games were on didn't load after a while 😢

No that was fine, it was you slathering your gooey sausage fingers all over them after raw dogging that ice cream with your face.
