Must have PS2 games?
« on: August 5, 2003 03:25 pm CDT »
I could have sworn I started a thread like this before, but I couldn't find it anywhere to bump up.


I'm looking for new PS2 games, but I'm dissapointed with the minimal selection that I often find at different places. I'm looking for some type of Action game, and if multiplayer, that woudl rock. Also, a non-turn based RPG title would be good.

Has anyone played Maximo? I don't know if I should get it or not. Any thing you guys could suggest would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have to pay to play it?

Anything with like... sword and shield type mutliplayer action would be cool.


I'm gonna look up on Socom real quick.



OH YEAH! Has anyone heard anything about Linux for ps2? They have some beta versions out I think or something, I lost the URL... but I'm just wondering if anyone has any more information on it... That'd be awesome, I could like brows the interweb from my ps2. 8)

Its kinda expensive, dude.  Ok, the PS2 costs, what, $200?  Then the linux kit is.. $200.  Then, the PS2 network kit is... $30-40 bucks?  So you are spending around $450+ for a 233 mhz computer...

Now, the upside to having it is that it does come with a 40gb HD and a monitor cable to finnaly connect your PS2 to a computer monitor.


Xbox linux is pretty cool.  Lets see...  Xbox: $200...  Mod chip: $20... USB keyboard+Mouse:  $30


My neighbor has a slightly broken xbox running Mandrake on it.

Darwin.. You have no idea what you are talking about..

You don't need a network kit.. It can plug right into your usb cable modem.

You don't need software.

EDIT: No it isn't P2P.

Some USB modems need drivers, even in linux.  Like my old Alcatel USB or my new Westell Wirespeed.  I couldnt get those to work.  And even if I would be able to, it would probably take alot of work for a linux newbie.  Thats why its so much simpler to have an ethernet port as an internet gateway.  And xbox supplies you with one  :-D

That cannot be true.  Perhaps the one you use right now is supported by your OS, but on an old 98 machine, you would definately need drivers for the device.

No Darwin..

Network cards need drivers..

Not modems..

And I've used this modem on win95 before.

Who said I used USB on win95?

I am just stating that you DON'T need drivers for a cable modem.. It doesn't interact with your system, so you wouldn't need any drivers.

Fine, you know what I can prove you need USB drivers for a modem in order for it to run on the system.  I will plug my modem into the USB port of my windows XP laptop with no drivers installed, and it will say "Unknown device."  Here we go...


Aha!  I knew it!  I am right, you lose!  Screenshots are comin!
