well, i have played both at the same time as my tv is right next to my comp. If you have a decent computer with a decent videocard (i have gf4 ti4200) I can say that it runs nicer and looks nicer on the pc. BUT if you have a kickass ps2 setup, amp, huge tv, nice big foff couches, go the ps2.

So yeah nfs:u dont run as well on the ps2 but its better value because of the arcadeness it has. Basically, what ever you get it on its still rice heaven.

well I play it on my PC with a ATI 9800 thingy, so it looks shmick, and its projected onto a screen with a projector with a SB Live 5.1 delivering digital audio to a 5.1 surround sound system. Combine that with a USB Steering wheel that's got a 5 meter extension (so it can reach the PC in the next room) and I love it!

Plus I can hack the shit thru the PC version, add my own vinyls, graphics and change the wording of the game itself (who wants "Style Points Earnt "when you can have "Rice Grains Earnt") ;)

Hehe, yeah.. Also, there's a LAN hack for the PC, so you can play LAN games.... Been doing it for 2 days straight :D Nothing more fun than banging around a track in reverse trying to smash into your flattie, where the only performance upgrades are bags of rice in the boot :-)

PC! Definately prefer the graphics on the PC (yes, assuming you have a good (DX9) graphics card, and have either an analogue joystick/PSX controller/analogue steering wheel) And Funky's got the right idea - nothing better than sitting in front of the big screen, THX-certified tyre screeching blaring through the surround sound.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
