    Sony released its online network service in North America in 2002, until its last days in early 2016.
    In this video we look at the origins Sony's networking service and how you can still play Playstation 2 games online in 2018 such as the awesome SOCOM 2 using tunneling software known as XLink Kai .
    I also walk through how its possible to bypass now defunct Sony's authentication method known as DNAS to play other games online.
    Finally, the Playstation 2 has web browsing capabilities too, I show you whats possible.

      You can use a glitch to dislocate the nuke's landing in "Modern CZcams Warfare" where it'd land on a coordinate which would somehow cause the general to have the lowest reputation possible in game since this can be used to skip cutscenes due to the general being too slow with certain events that are result of such reputation, and it's told this can save up to 3 hours on any% speedrun! It's told that the developers used this to speed up the game to get to certain sections quicker.

      winlover37 Same here, sort of. I only got my PS2 in 2010 because we were too poor to afford a more modern system and it was located in the living room, while the broadband was in the dining room with a plastered over door blocking the only clear route through. Don't think my parents would drape a wire through the kitchen just so I could hope there were still people playing the games I owned online.

      blondbassist ,
      Sure can. So if your PS3's Wi-Fi is good enough, you're going wireless with your PS2 gaming while getting increased equipment utilization. If you're concerned about heat, wear and tear on that PS3 though, I believe OPL, with appropriate settings, running from a PS2 that's using a USB Bluetooth dongle will let you use your PS3's wireless DualShock3 instead of what is likely a worn out (and wired) DualShock2. Saves on the controller clutter too.

      That's a flip-top lid for the PS2. It's a 3rd party accessory that has to be installed onto the system in place of the normal lid. It's used to bypass the 3 sensors on the slim PS2 so that you can open the lid and swap out games without the system knowing that the disc tray/lid is open. Using it in conjunction with Swap Magic, you can play import games, as well as burned copies of games, on the PS2 without the system rejecting it as something other than a PS2 game, bypassing any region lock or copy protection.

      Thought I had seen server entries at Bobz' recently so I was curious. I'm assuming a lot of these fight results ps2online.tk/mkarmps2/lastfights.php are from those in your group then. I'm contemplating setting up a proper arcade joysticks and buttons setup for that experience on a podium in front of a wall-mounted screen and speakers somewhere down the line, room permitting. Any tips at mitigating input and video lag?

    • @Anthony-gc7el
      @Anthony-gc7el Před 6 lety +2

      Yeah we've tried Bobz recently and had no luck getting through, but we all keep testing. I've told the group to have both Bobz and Christian's DNS on their PS2s as 2 different settings so we can easily switch between them. As for the log on Christian's DNS, looks like other people not in the group. A lot of people play the game from other countries, and I know Armageddon is very popular with one group on Facebook (Not English). As for input lag, there isn't a lot you can do as I'm running my PS2 on a CRT using RGB Scart. It should be lag free, but the nature of Deception and Armageddon online is input lag. But if you're interested let me know and I'll send you an invite to our Discord group. I've got quite a bit to clean up, streamline the guides and start getting more people online. I need to also get a PCSX2 guide up. I'm trying to do the best that I can to give everyone every option available. But it's recommended that people use a fat PS2 and a hard drive for the fastest load times and it keeps everything synced up properly. In the works I'm also looking to get Unchained and MK9 added to our list of games so we can hopefully get more members. I've been running this group for 2 years and it's been very hard to get the people I did.

    Another great video MVG!
    The DNS you were using had rules set up to redirect DNAS requests to a replacement server + Gamespy requests to Openspy (open source gamespy emulator), however for a period of time until yesterday the Gamespy redirects were configured incorrectly due to IP address changes on Openspy's end. Openspy are about to host their own DNS server with PS2 game support in mind.
    For XLink configuration, it's worth noting you either need a DHCP config, or a static IP config generated from teamxlink.co.uk/ps2assign with netmask 255.255.0.0
    There's a second way to bypass DNAS for users with modded consoles, ISO patches with PS2 patch engine. Some of these can be found on the PS2 Online Gaming website, though this is really only worthwhile for Call of Duty 3, the only game that still has official servers running.
    There are also a few games that have replacement servers available that don't require DNAS bypass such as Twisted Metal Black: Online, and Tribes: Aerial Assault.
