Slimline Ps2 Compatability Problems?

[gary.mckeown]

I heard when the slimline ps2 came out that it had problems playing some of the games (mainly san andreas & GT4) is this true? i'm thinking of getting rid of my original ps2 and getting a slimline silver ps2 to replace it but dont want to if my games dont work with it.

cheers

Gaz.

Yes, the silver slimline has compatibility issues.

From what I gather, there are no such issues with the normal-colored one (minus the obvious FFXI HDD problem).

The only other issue I heard of was the multitap not fitting the controller slot, But I think the newer ones fixed that issue.

GTA:SA works fine on my slimline, but its black not silver.

Knowing Sony, the probably wanted to protect their console from the evil homebrew software and locked some commercial games out by that

It's a well known fact that every iteration of sony's consoles leave a few games behind... besides tekken5 I dont really see many games worth being all that upset over.

im thinking of getting the silver one, just need to know if there's any problems with San andreas, pes5 and swap disk 3.0?
