General PlayStation Question and Help Thread

Let's talk about anything about video games, no matter what platform it is. What is your favorite game? Who is your favorite character? What are the recently released games? What is DLC (downloadable content)? How do I beat this boss? How do I set up my team?

I see. I won't risk the PS3 na using a ordinary AVR. Hehe..

Anyway, thanks man for clearing those up for me. ;) I guess I just have to buy a router for my PS3.. Used na kasi 4 ports ng linksys ko...

Ako naka Asian, pero direct plug ako. Walang problems encountered naman. Minsan nga inabutan ako ng brownout while downloading. When I turned it on naman ok pa rin. :)

ito rin iniisip ko, yung sa mga gaming sites siguro may gamit sila na gadget tapos naka "tap" sa output nung console or tv/screen/monitor...

pinaka madali is by just using a camera... hehe kaso hindi na nga lang accurate yung kalalabasan... :lol:

hello po,

may ask lang po ako... mejo may sira na kasi un PS2 ko (the big one) which i bought in 2003 i think...

napansin ko lang po sa PS2 ko, parang namimili na po sya ng games to be played... karamihan ng games hindi nagpplay... it needs multiple restarts para lang mapagana un game... meron din games na talagang hindi niya nababasa kahit ilan beses ko sya irestart... nung una ayos lang saken magrestart ng magrestart pero ngayon mejo naiiritate na ko... hindi ko pa sya napapatingin sa technician... nagiisip ako kung mahal magagastos ko sa pagpapagawa ng old unit ko, eh bibili na lang ako ng bago... oo nga pala kapag audio disc walang problem sa pagbabasa... nababasa niya agad...
Masasabi niyo po kaya kung ano sira nung console ko?

I think your lens is starting to show its age. try mo muna pa-cleaning yung unit mo..i mean specifically, yung lens ng ps2 mo. or probably pwede rin may kinalaman sa modchip mo (if you have one installed) kaya hindi nakakabasa ng ibang games. kapag hindi pa nakuha dun, better off to buy a new ps2 or kahit 2nd hand basta excellent yung condition. marami nagbebenta ng ps2 dito saka sa tipidpc.

First of all, welcome to PPSX Forums dhitman.

In regards sa question mo, maaaring lens na ang may diperensya dito. You said na 2003 pa yung console mo and I bet na hindi mo pa napapalitan yung lens niyan eversince. Pa-change lens ka if you like (kung hindi makuha sa pa-allignment). Probably it will cost you around P3000-3500 for the lens (bulky type), mas mura ang lens for kung slim console which is around P2500 lang yata.

Thanks for the welcome! :)

Yup, since nung nabili ko po un PS2 ko wala pa kong pinapaayos... Ngayon lang talaga nagloloko...

So, sa tingin nyo po lens na ang sira? Na try ko na rin gumamit ng DVD lens cleaner na nabili ko sa astro vision... pero parang walang effect... mukhang papalit ko na talaga un lens... TY po sa inyo! :lol:

Kung ako sayo bro, pacheck mo muna yung unit mo. possible na lens yung problem, pero much better kung patignan mo talga sa technician. possible din na pwedeng makuha sa cleaning yan.

if you find out na problem talaga yun lens and you need replace it, try to reconsider din yun price ng bnew slim (about 7-8,000 pesos) and meron ka makikitang 2nd hand na bnew condition for 4,000 or 5-6,000 pesos since yun replacement ng lens costs 3,000-3,500 pesos. then think about kung anong worth it, kung papalitan yun lens or bili na ng bnew/or barely used ps2.

hope this helps.

yun na nga po gagawin today... ppunta ko sa greenhills hoping na may nagrerepair ng PS2 units doon... papa check mo muna sa technician un PS2 then I will decide there kung paparepair ko na lang or kung bibili ako ng bago... depende na lang sa sasabihin ng technician saken...

Ano maganda gawin / dapat bilin if wala akong wifi sa bahay?

Na dedetect ng PS3 yung Wifi AP ng motherboard ko (ASUS P5WDH Deluxe) but the thing is, can't obtain Ip address, pero nadetect naman... :(

Never ko pa kasi napagana yung Wifi, I was just hoping mapagana ko sa PS3... Di ko tuloy malaro yung Ninja Gaiden coz kailangan ng higher fw.

Help? :!:
