Had this for quite some time now... its one of the original PS2s as in bulky one which is a lot better for many reasons other then asthetics. This model allowed you to put a 3.5" HDD in it via a network card. Sony stopped selling the network card years ago and to find one these days for under 100 dorra is pretty hard, but not impossible.

By using a network card you can download and install games onto the HDD via software on the memory card, this one has a 32MB switchable plus another std 8MB card.

I have currently 3 or 4 HDDs ranging from 30GB to 200GB which are loaded with games of all types up until 2005/6... off the top of my head the ones i remember are D1 Drifting, The Hulk, Hello Kitty Rolla something, Tekken 4, Sniper, Resident Evil 4, Battle Field 2.

why this is a good thing is that because the laser is only used on bootup for less then 30seconds and then everything is loaded directly from the HDD which cuts down huge amounts of wait and loading times and also causes less ware on the laser. It also means you can play ANY region games, wether it be Japan, US or Europe.

I dont have a full list of games on me but i can find out... i do still have the originals for GT4, GT3, V8 supercars 3 and a few others but most of them were either stolen or lost over time so the HDD versions is all i have. So you can just simply buy another IDE drive thats empty, format it using the PS2 loader software and backup your own.

So you will get...

PS2

Guncon 2 light gun (came with Time Crisis 2, the game istelf was stolen before i even got to back it up)

Some other similar gun which has snapback action

2 controllers

few originals

few HDDs with around 80 games on them (can provide list if needed)

32MB memory card with preinstalled software

8MB standard sony card

PS1 GT2 disc which is used to boot

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
