| | | | | PlayStation: Encyclopedia II - PlayStation 2 - Software compatibility Support for original PlayStation games was also an important selling point for the PS2, letting owners of an older system upgrade to the PlayStation 2 and keep their old software, and giving new users access to older games until a larger library was developed for the new system. As an added bonus, the PS2 had the ability to enhance PlayStation games by speeding up disc read time and/or adding texture smoothing to improve graphics. While the texture smoothing was universally effective (albeit with odd effects where transparent textures are used), faster disk reading c ...

| | | | | PlayStation: Encyclopedia II - PlayStation Portable - Criticisms The PSP is often criticized for lack of quality games, as many of its titles consist of ports from the PS2 or other console systems. Also, some early models have more "ghosting" than others, meaning that one can see a trail left from moving objects on the screen. This happens quite often. For example, in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, when an explosion occurs near one, one's character will exhibit ghosting.
The PSP also suffered from a plague of dead pixels straight out of the factory, along with an extremely high defe ...

| | | | | PlayStation: Encyclopedia II - PlayStation 2 - Hardware revisions The PlayStation 2 has undergone many revisions, some only of internal construction and others with substantial external changes. These are colloquially known amongst PlayStation 2 hardware hackers as V0, V1, V2, etc., up to V12 (as of November 25, 2004).
V0 was a Japanese model and was never sold in Europe or the US. These included a PCMCIA slot instead of the Expansion Bay (DEV9) port of newer models. V0 did not have a built-in DVD player and instead relied on an encrypted player that was copied to a memory card from an included CD-R ...

| | | | | PlayStation: Encyclopedia II - PlayStation 2 - Technical Issues
PlayStation 2 - Disc Read Error.
Owners of early PS2 models purchased from launch until spring 2002 commonly reported faulty optical drives in their consoles. The earliest drives suffered from a constantly misaligning laser lens but later defects were the result of a shift in voltage to the laser itself. The first problem was relatively easy to remedy, but it required opening the machine's casing and tweaking a cog that controlled the lens' distance from the discs it was supposed to read, thus voiding the warrant ...

| | | | | PlayStation: Encyclopedia II - PlayStation Portable - Homebrew development In May 2005, it was found that PSPs using the 1.00 version of the firmware (meaning original, first launch US and Japanese PSPs) could execute unsigned code. What this meant in practice was that these PSPs could run homebrew software, as the mechanism for checking to make sure that software has been approved by Sony hadn't yet been activated. Later exploits have allowed for PSPs using version 1.50 of the firmware to run homebrew software nearly transparently. Using a buffer overflow exploit, it's possible to install 1.50 firmware onto a 2.0 ...

It is backwards compatible with older PlayStation (PS1) games, allows for DVD Video playback, and will play PS2 games off of cheap CD-ROMs or higher-capacity DVD-ROMs. The ability to play DVD movies allowed consumers to more easily justify the PS2's relatively high price tag (in October 2000, the MSRP was $300) as it removed the need to buy an external DVD player (indeed, it could be said that the success of the DVD format was partly due to the PS2's ability to play DVDs, as the format s ...
