I love the PS2. In a broken home growing up, it made a hell of a difference
Perfect escapism
true
same with my ps1
There is a local owned business called A-Z games. There packed with all the old gaming stuff anything you need they have and if they don't have it they'll buy it for you. There in Park hills Missouri. You could definitely build your ultimate ps2 there.
Brooo, I literally couldn’t have said that better
A Fatty Ps2 with a HDD and Free McBoot is the ultimate PS2. You get the brooks converter so you can run your newer (PS4) controllers on it, and there ya go, best PS2 ever.
OPERA? Just testin that browser bro! Looks funky to me! Better than Chrome Linux!
Opera looks and feels a lot like Chrome, but it comes with a powerful customization mode and complex social media integration! The VPN is in my view just a clever add-on.
No just no lol no one uses opera
Opwra vpn is absolute crap.
Just do what I did. Create your own vpn. Not that hard. And free
Yeah it's a bit sus to me their business model is the same as the rest (sell ads), the company was bought by a Chinese firm in 2016. Now they are trying to grow their userbase and gather more personal data by having people use their VPN and feeding that metadata into their ad platform.
“You must be the tech”
Confirmed Austin is a robot
Mark Zuckerberg's long lost younger cousin.
Yeah
Lol
Did you ever doubt? 😂
Tbh they does looks kinda similar
Kind of ironic how Opera boasts the fact that they "care about your privacy" when they've had a shady history with your data for pretty much the entire time they've been around.
this is exactly the comment i was looking for
Sound like a repeat of Google to me
@@joshgeurink2131 google doesnt pay people to sponsor them
i was coming here to type this! - Sketchy company indeed.
Vivaldi is much better than opera now.
When it comes OPERA, which sponsors this video. A few words about that browser. Some may say what to customization and social media integration, Opera in my view stands above its competition, and some users will choose the browser for those features alone. Plus, the flow feature is especially useful!!
Paid.
jk jk i use it and love it
@@6robfoot I don't have any concerns. They where recently forced in Russia to close their VPN down there. For me when a dictatorship bans something - then it has be effective. 😄
@@glennhobble7129 In Russia? Never heard of that! VPN is for me just and add-on, didn't know that Pootin banned that.
enjoy your spyware bud
Opera GX is even BETTER when I'm gaming. Being able to keep it from pulling a Google Chrome and being a RAM hog when I'm gaming is great
Austin: "Is the hard drive useful for something else other than Final Fantasy X?".
Homebre community: "Not unless you hack the heck out of it and pirate your games, Austin".
It's Final Fantasy XI, not X. Plus, he didn't even say a number in that sentence you're "quoting".
@@scarffoxandfriends9401 Yeah, I also noticed but I realized it too late to rectify it.
I'm planning on buying a network adapter, a SATA conversion kit (not a Chinese SATA adapter), and an SSD in the future for homebrew on my PS2.
I mean, the user could rip their _own_ discs, but who takes the time?
I like how they devolved the "building the ultimate ___" series to just dumping a pile of disgusting trash on the desk lol
@Desharr Saddler part of it was stuff not working, and part trolling so I get it. I enjoyed it though (funny/amusing).
That's majority of Austin videos rn
The tech were really old so I understand in the video that some of the technology doesn’t work
@@windowsvista3193 I agree, however, they literally dumped a pile of obvious trash on it (like the mess of disgusting controllers).
@@windowsvista3193 2 sets of trivia buzz controllers. Then they have him accessories to a game but not the game
Been playing the ps2/3 like crazy this year. Finally playing the games I couldnt get when I was younger. Love it
Me too, I recently bought a fat ps2 and the first model fat ps3 too cos I’ve just been going super hard into these older consoles
Bought a ps3 like 8 or 9 months ago and a ps2 like 3 or 4 months ago, love both
And then there’s me, that threw out their PS2 years ago in the garbage because I got a 360. I really wish I had kept it.
Same here buddy, PS2 master race xP had it since release
@@mosesdevadass6056 same here, I sold my ps2 when I got the ps3 and then sold the ps3 when I got the ps4. I just regret it
Even though SOOO much chaos in this video, it feels touching! I had my cousin's PS2 slim and used to play games with my best friends. I'm always gonna miss that time.
Loved the team's genuine love for the PS2 era, Austin! Love your work, team. Keep it up!
I feel like my PS2 setup was the ultimate. Had the fat one with an HDD, memory card exploit to run HDloader (basically no load times), emulators, and homebrew like GeoTron and Super Mario War. Also modified case for top loading games (which I didn’t really have to do after it was modded and I could put the games on the HDD. Had both versions of the GunCon controllers with all the Point Blank games and a bunch of others, silver eye toy, hard DDR mats with every DDR version from USA and Japan, Guitar Freaks with the controllers (pre-guitar hero), Beatmania with the DJ controllers, and all the Bemani games, and a bunch of other stuff. Ended up selling it all to a collector and a lot of it is likely on display somewhere because I had all the boxes and stuff in fantastic condition. Brings back memories for sure.
@@UnknownD0orknob why was a response needed?
I just got my first PS2 3 months ago. I am 12 and I can't believe what I have been missing out on. it is a game changer!! I Really recommend getting this also ever heard of the multitap? They are really easy to find on places like Ebay. But they aren't very cheap. Also plz sub to my channel. (Still working on the name🤔) And these are all the games I have right now. (NFS Carbon) (Kung Fu Panda) (ATV Offroad Fury 4) (Medal of Honor: Frontline) (Lego Indiana Jones: The original adventures) (Lego Batman: The videogame) (Sonic Mega Collection plus) (Tourist Trophy) Any way love the PS2 But WHY didn't you put a multitap on!? That would've been way more interesting. Anyway everyone reply to this comment And tell me what I should name my channel but the only rule is it has to be a name that isn't a channel yet anyway just tell me your ideas. And the one I choose I will give that person a shoutout! Although that probably isn't very special I am just a small plz sub🤧😥
@@UnknownD0orknob name checks out.
Absolute Chad, I want to get close to that level of ultimatey'ness...
@@magooskee pssshhh wait until I tell you about my modded Wii and Dreamcast. They were the mega ultra ultimate.
Austin and his friends makes me realize how much of a nerd I am.

Nah Austin and his friends make me realize just how lonely I am 😂 I wish I had friends like them

@@BlackNoir999 hope you're good for season 3
I would love to watch an ultimate WII video, that would actually be interesting.
I agree. I'm also surprised he hasn't done it yet
Yeah the Wii has hundreds of accessories and stuff for it
And the Wii is turning 15 this year it would be perfect timing
Would have the same ending, but using the wii remotes on dolphin
@@ArthurNunes29 lol I could see that happening, all of the stuff doesn't work so they start building a ultimate pc or something to use the emulator
How would you make a PS2 portable? :-)
BTW: What kinda of critics rolled out in the comments on the Opera. It s funny to see how guys who use the browsers of the largest technology companies write about privacy issues and VPN's. No arguments, only rumors. Funny and sad at the same time.
They don't care if the facts are different. They are worried about personal data, giving it away to everyone. However, they do not pay attention to the functions of the browser.
Chromium Degoogled doesn't steal your data. Neither does Pale Moon.
I like how the sponsor is Opera which supposedly “cares about your privacy” which is uploaded on a platform that’s owned by google which supposedly doesn’t
AFAIK Opera is as bad as the rest if not arguably worse because I recall them using their platform to push some money lending scheme. While the others may profit off your data, at least they weren't also pushing you to go into debt.
@@FengLengshun In my opinion, it is one of the few that still has a kinda of independence. See an example ....their VPN - they had to turn it off recently in Russia. Why? Because maybe it just works!
As a person who's first console was the PS2, this was the video I was waiting for.
Same
Me 2
greatest gift i ever got even though the ps3 was out
Me who still has a ps2 in 2021
I still have a PS2.
scandal: *exists*
austin: opera protects your privacy download it now
Never had a PS2 but I always liked the aesthetics of the OG PS2 and it’s IU and the sounds used.
My P22 still works great. the only console to die on me was my first PS3, and it was a lightning strike that almost killed my roomy and I too.
The PS2 was the best thing to ever come into my childhood. It was so good and had so many great games that my friend who had a PS3 liked it even more than his own console.
Then why not mod his PS3? The PS3 could run any games when modded, and even overclock the hardware
Incredible that you just could easily build the ultimate ps2 using that hdd and Free McBoot but i guess sony would not approve
@Rossy why did they break?
Don't forget to add a hyperkin and a mcable. My ps2 looks like it's playing ps3 level clarity on 1080i on crt. Looks like crap on flat-screens now adays
Exactly, they did jack shit to the internals, they didn't "build" anything, maybe try a modchip, external hard drive/ssd, upgrade the cooler, legit anything to the console. Its like saying I "built" the ultimate phone because I put a case on it and used a longer charging cable
@@stevenbryant1011usually they do upgrade the hard drive and do things like that
also they did acknowledge that this wasn’t the ultimate ps2 so there’s that
Many European PS2s were allowed drinking 5 years ago ;)
Wow, last time I used Opera was on Windows Mobile, where it actually was by far the best browser available
Austin: "Where's the ultimate PS2?"
Ken: "Maybe the ultimate PS2 was inside us all along"
sometimes you cant just review the tech, you must be the tech - Austin Evans
And then there is also Dreamcast guy
Yeah, you watched the video
Awwwwhh no ultimate ps2, what a shame was looking forward, I think you need to do another video of an actual ultimate ps2
@Pedro Henrique I disagree
@@bread9276 Me too
This video was more like PS2 mystery tech than ultimate ps2. If this is how the ultimate console videos are going to be I think they need to rebrand the video names
@Pedro Henrique I agree. They say building the ultimate PS2 when the first 13 minutes of the 15 minute video was an opera ad and them just playing with random controllers
PS2 also had arcade sticks (mostly the Hori Real Arcade Pro lineup) that were really well made before the fighting game resurgence of the launch of SF4. These accessories cost just as much, if not more, than they did back then. The stick and the buttons can easily be replaced if so desired as the parts for those are still being sold today.
I’d love to see a part 2 because the PS2 is one of my favorite consoles
"You must be the tech"
- Sun Tzu, the art of war
i can now officially confirm that i've seen the dustiest controller on this planet
When you order a large fry and they forget the fries, the ultimate PS2.
In my eyes the ultimate PS2 is the backwards compatible PS3. HDMI and a wireless controller to play classics natively? Sounds ultimate to me.
Cool
Austin: *Reviews PS2 Controllers*
Ken: *Grandpa Charles*
"you're dangerously close to a fetish" 😂 I lost it
I liked the video and subscribed because of all the great content you put out but I am disappointed that you didn't build an ultimate PS2. Perhaps do another video with the truly ultimate PS2 and show us the skills that you guys have put out in all your previous videos.
Bro has clearly been working out, well done Im proud of you mate.
"I can't wait till you find them" just destroyed me lmao
Recently I've been looking back on one of my favorite PS2 games like Speed Racer, mainly because the soundtrack is fire.
I like how the employees are ordering the boss around lmaoo they're such good friends
buying a taiko drum without the game by itself is a crime :(
True
You were right when you said you upgraded to component cables, as those are the ones that do HD.
You can remember the difference because composite has an S in it, so it's SD.
"grandpa Charles?". By far the best line I've ever heard. I can't stop laughing
You could also install maps for SOCOM 2 with the HD on the PS2, also run games of the HDD if you had a modded system, which I sure as hell did back then.
Austin and the Crew:qua qa-?
Me:QUANDALE DINGLE
I remember ps2 being my 4th console, this was nice.
"You must be the tech"
-Austin 2021
I was playing my ps2 nearly daily for 12 years no problem, some of my happiest memories are playing on it, got me through so much
Of all sponsors I actually think I like this one the most so far because it's actually a browser I've been using since I was like 16. That's been over 13 years. I remember looking up different browsers when I was a teenager seeing what I was out there and when I found opera I was like let's see what this silly browser is. I'm glad that it's at this point where a famous TH-camr can use it like this now
This is so entertaining, if you happen to have any other failed experiments or bloopers, you gotta release them 😂
*“Be honest who else is a few hours late”😂*
meh
damn an other verified both smh

When that Taiko box came out I flew back to my childhood. God I loved that game.
Don't be disappointed, for me this was the funniest ultimate build, I really enjoyed it!
Maybe in the future you guys can come back to this with some working equipment haha. Maybe a Phat PS2 with the HDD loaded with OPL so you can boot games off of it and even force some games to run in 480p instead of its 480i/256p. Also if you get the Multi-tap (x2) it brings you up to 8 controllers which works on like 3 games. And there are even internet games you can play (if you run one of those modern day servers since the old stuff shut down)
The ultimate PS2 is one with Open PS2 Loader installed. It lets you run games from the HDD and other devices, you can play games using a DualShock 3 or 4 with a USB Bluetooth adapter and you can force games to run at higher quality video modes.
"double solo" just cracked me.
I've been watching this for months, and I remember the PS2!
Could you try to build an ultimate PS2-Slim? I was super curious as to how far it can be pushed
“But you know Opera is Norwegian”
Pewdiepie…
But it's owned by a Chinese investing consortium since 2016
Wish I knew you guys were looking for these. If I'm not mistaken my PS2 does run Linux and it's fully functional. Literally was playing with it like a week ago LOL.
That was waay more entertaining than watching a ultimate ps2 build lol!
Ps2 was my first Console
I used to play wwe Smackdown like crazy 🤣 literally 12+ hrs on the vacations!
Smackdown shut your mouth and here comes the pain, I still play those games
@@JuanM254 Smackdown here comes the pain is on a different tier
i have play a bunch of 2k games on Ps4 still nothing even come close to the Smackdown
@@omprakashsahu4798 agreed.I even prefer the smackdown vs raw Series over 2k.
How have you managed to get the most unreliable PS2s I’ve ever seen 😂 mines never had a problem
I wouldn't say I really enjoy much of their videos, I just like bizarre tech. But this episode, so entertaining
"PS3 is not good as the PS2"
Average player: You Online?
Now do a PSone,not PS1 I am talking about PSone!!!!!!!!

I love the ps2 so much and seeing it being turned into a absolute monster just makes me happy:)
11:14 - 11:20 “indeed you are right sir"
I was actually sincerely disappointed with this video. 🥲🥲🥲 Come on guys you have my hopes up that you're going to build some awesome looking PS2 configuration.
I expected the same, but I guess a 2tb hdd with sata expansion card, free mc boot memory card, and hdmi convertor is pretty much all you can do without cracking it open. Surprised they didn't grab any of the wireless controllers.

I actually had that screen for the PS2! Used it on family vacations when we were driving.
Watching this today, after I just bought a PS2 last week, working on re-living the old days
I love coming back to this build cause it looks like austin about to lose his mind
"Opera has a huge focus on privacy and security" good joke
Nothing like an *Easy Nineteen Step Process*
"DO NOT throw the ps2..."
This had me dead 💀 🤣
Now i feel bad that i still have my PS2 pluged and running in my living room.
finally, the console that has the most amount of units sold finally gets the "Ultimate" upgrade treatment... sort of.

Plot twist: there is no Ultimate ps2. It was the friends Austin made along the way when making this video.
its fine, its hard to make ultimate of such a old device , Keep posting periodically
Austin needs a nerf gun to fight back when mystery tech gets violent
Speaking of making ps2 portable. One day when I was a teenager my older brother grabbed an old stroller, ps2, 3 person tent, some black out sheets, blankets and such, extension cable, we went for a walk to the boardwalk in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario, and he walked us to a spot with a plugged, set up the tent with the black out sheets so it wouldn’t get hot (because it was essentially in the middle of the sun) plugged it all in and next thing you know it, we’re playing guitar hero
Love the hecticness of this video
not to be stingy, but they always they start with utter chaos and make their way to something good. Love that always with these guys
It all started from the Ultimate ps4, Ultimate Xbox One , Ultimate Xbox 360, Ultimate Xbox, Ultimate Ps5, Ultimate Ps3, Ultimate PSP, AND, It's finally PS2's turn. Also, happy anniversary PS2. MAY YOU BE REMEMBERED FOR THOUSANDS OF GENERATIONS.
