The PS2 has a Force Open hole that you insert the end of a large paper clip and PUSH until it pushes the tray open. Doing that may free it up moving forward, but at the very least you can see if there's a Disc inside.
I'm a 26 year-old dude born and raised in Japan, my parents didn't feed me too much of the latest gaming consoles growing up. So naturally SEGA Saturn, Super FamiCom which my parents already had before having me and PS2 was all I got. This video gave me so much nostalgia! Thanks Austin!!
The sheer happiness of Austin reliving his childhood glory days made me smile big time. This TH-cam channel is just a tax write off for Austin's inner deep desires and I love it.
Pokemon Stadium in Japan never went outside of Japan and only had 75 Pokemon out of 150. The Pokemon Stadium 1 that the West got is actually Pokemon Stadium 2 in Japan and the Pokemon Stadium 2 that came to the West is actually Pokemon Stadium 3 in Japan
Omg I actually had those installation floppies till not so many years ago. Tho, it shouldn't be so hard to find a windows 3.1 installation around the web and then burn it into like 20 floppy disks, lol. Or does he need to install dos first? This I don't know
In Japan you can get a special edition fully functional PS2 for like $5 while in Australia you have to fork over about $100 for a PS2 that won't read the blue discs and the disc tray rattles
1:56 so was the price reduction/cheaper option that Sendico offered you on the shipping an "Austin Evans" type deal? Or do they do that for all their customers if the shipping cost comes up expensive?
That Super Famicom probably works, the contacts were probably dirty. There isn't a home screen like the PlayStation 2, so if the contacts are not contacting it would just show a black screen. That's why we used to blow in the carts. Shit happens with my retro collection all the time.
Yes , on Ebay right now you'd pay around $70-$90 just for the bare core PCE unit with no cables , controller or power supply and especially no cd unit or interface unit . I've not seen something like that sold at that low of a price ,for the past 5 years at least .
One thing to note about getting a bunch of Super Famicom controllers that makes them not as nice as you'd think; In japan you were expected to place the console on the table, not by the tv, so the cables are suuuuuper short and inconvenient to use.
The problem with the PS2 is that the ejector bands typically need replacing nowadays, lubrication done to the actuator for the lens and the lens itself will sometimes need a clean
That super famicom probably works fine. Clean the game and the cartridge slot with some isopropyl 90+. Old toothbrush for the connector and some qtip or gamecard for the game.
Yeah that's what I said, I feel like he was expecting to see a home screen like the "newer" consoles had. Didn't even think to blow in the damn cart lol
The Saturn is in my opinion the most underrated console of all time, definitely cool to one in good nick for so cheap. Mine cost quite a bit more but I've cherished it for years. Love it way more than the N64 and it's on par with the PS1 for me.
got to love consoles that don't have disc drives. Worst case scenario you replace some capacitors, and they'll be fine. Good luck finding mechanisms and laser units...
As a DHL worker who handles and supervises imported parcels - the customs/declaration/fees prices are wayyy too expensive. Especially when ordering next day delivery or TDY's. That shit'll cost you an arm and a leg 💀💀
Nice to see some love for the Sega Saturn. I still have my Sega Saturn and N64 from around 1998. My first experience with the N64 was playing Yoshi's Story in Japanese at Toy's R US.
When I push the rod up from underneath the sink, the stopper doesn’t pop upwards, instead the rod located above the sink that controls the stopper is the only thing that pops upwards. Help.
From the expression Austin makes every time he hears the start up sound from a vintage computer/operating system or console I'm pretty sure he needs a cigarette and to do laundry on his britches.
Sendico is not what it was before. My last 2 packages came with problems and each time i was ignored till i went to their socials. First came with items cut with a cutter. Second came with items missing. Their competitors are better now.
I don't comment often. I just want to say that I appreciate you marking your sponsorships with chapters. It makes them easy to skip! (Acronis doesn't make anything worthwhile for my operating system, so they're not of any interest to me.)
You should give that old Fujitsu laptop to some retro tech TH-camr who knows about those things. For example Adrians Digital Basement, LGR and others might get that Fujitsu to work fine with OS and everything.
12:34 It can pass 1000 years, but that sound is the sound of the gods... I got the same reaction like him, when i hear that boot sound. Long Live the PS !!!
Be careful. Some of the early 3D gaming consoles from Japan were known to cause seizures in people with photosensitivities. Kids over in Japan were biting the dust left and right all over the place before they really understood the problems and fixed them and sent them over to the United States. Lol
The Racing game that was put into the Silver PS2 was Called "Choro Q" and was available in the US, a similar game was "Road Trip". I played both of these as a kid and they were fun as heck!! Also would be cool if LGR did a Collab on some old Mystery box tech. The Fujitsu Laptop would be right up his alley
@@gotmilk20091 I have a Copy of Road trip still and a Ps2 I Restored last year. It really is a fun game! You can just drive forever in it which is really cool
lol, the existential crisis moment when Austin realized 94 was 30 years ago really resonated with me.... i go through that often haha!
This 😂😂
me to right when he said it i was like well shit......
yeah... I'm 30 this year...
O
I was in High School 31 years ago. 😦
Austin in 10 years, going to jail for embazlement after buying Pokémon cards as a company expense. 😂
Don't worry, he films it as proof so he's good 😂
He'd have to keep them out of the video first.😂
True!
snitches get stitches yo
Not if the company sells the cards to him at cost, or donates them to Austin... Then it's legal.
The PS2 has a Force Open hole that you insert the end of a large paper clip and PUSH until it pushes the tray open. Doing that may free it up moving forward, but at the very least you can see if there's a Disc inside.
Basically just like any CD/DVD-ROM drive ever made huh?
@@kobisjeruk Well Austin dosent seem to know or didn't care or think about it😂
@@hugomyllykangas8442 A trick to generate comments I guess
Super easy to fix those drives too and long as you're brave enough to open the console
Or basically a SIM ejection hole for consoles and PCs.
I'm a 26 year-old dude born and raised in Japan, my parents didn't feed me too much of the latest gaming consoles growing up.
So naturally SEGA Saturn, Super FamiCom which my parents already had before having me and PS2 was all I got.
This video gave me so much nostalgia!
Thanks Austin!!
A lot of Westerners are obsessed with the N64 and don't realize that the Saturn was much more popular than the N64 in Japan!
I never liker Nintendo, always chose Sega :)

Gay
12:33 I had the same reaction as Austin, it was always nerve racking when booting up a game and not immediately hearing the PS2 sound. 😅
Pokemon Stadium in Japan never went outside of Japan and only had 75 Pokemon out of 150.
The Pokemon Stadium 1 that the West got is actually Pokemon Stadium 2 in Japan and the Pokemon Stadium 2 that came to the West is actually Pokemon Stadium 3 in Japan
Huh never knew that little tidbit. Nice to know
I was hoping someone put this in the comments. Calling it an "Alpha" and "0" are just wrong.
So where is part 2?
I work at FedEx and can say that 340 for international shipping is a steal
The sound of the disc drive on that one PS2 brings back the same amount of memories as the startup
Thank you Austin for reminding me I turn 30 this year. Really nice of you bud 😢🎉
About the Fujitsu f mr-50 nbx
Its a small desktop which was released in 1987 and had 3.1 dos. And they started at around ¥400,000 yen
Omg I actually had those installation floppies till not so many years ago.

$102 for that PCE setup is a great price. I'd have gone for that.

The Game and Watch unlocked some core memories. My siblings and I had “Fire” and “Octopus” they were so cool

same. that was my high school console I picked up in 99
Dreamcast then Saturn. But I do agree the Saturn was amazing
Dude a 100 bucks for that pc engine setup with the cd drive and case is amazing.
What you called the PC Engine CD, is actually the PC Engine Duo. It has both the CD addon and the original console.
i still have somewhere 3 or 4 of the game and watches even have one that folds to open.
crt tvs paired with the hardware that they're meant to show will produce a good picture. that's just how it works.
He should definitely mod the Fujitsu notebook into a modern day powerhouse completely with an 8k oled monitor.
got to love consoles that don't have disc drives. Worst case scenario you replace some capacitors, and they'll be fine. Good luck finding mechanisms and laser units...

Could you make that laptop into a sleeper PC? Looks like there could be enough space for decent components and cooling.

Gonna be honest, $93 for an out of print game and watch from '83, kind of a good deal. Wonder how easy it would be to fix the button.
Got t me tempted to get on that sight, it’s just the shipping that hurts
Wow the graphics on the n64 were still pretty crisp
They used those fujitsu computers in the post office. Excellent product.....

I used to have the Japanese copy as a kid. Couldn't read anything, still can't
There was also an arcade-exclusive Ridge Racer game featuring Choro Q cars if I remember
I related way too hard to Austin's existential crisis from realizing that the Sega Saturn was from 30 years ago...

Whats the postage cost?
Judging by the Fujitsu's screen, I'm gonna guess the OS is CP/M.
