Have you ever wanted to turn your home console into a portable console? The PS2 was the home console that I always wanted to be portable... and the PSP almost fulfilled that dream. But what would be better than a PSP? An actual PS2 Portable console! And that's exactly what this portable console from Aliexpress is. This Portable PS2 from Aliexpress uses real PlayStation 2 hardware and... it's interesting. The one I bought had some issues, but the Portable PlayStation 2 from Aliexpress seems to work ok now - let me know down below what you think of this Portable PS2!

It was sloppy soldering. But Its tough cause there is a lot of custom PCBs that make ti all work and overall I think the design is solid. But It needs like a better QA cleanup. Its like they just kind of got to the finish line and sat down before crossing it on this one. The overall form factor and design and parts all seem good. But....why not finish it. Also I think they missed a trick not having the HDMI port accessible from the outside. I would almost get out a dremel a port and HDMI extension to give it dual function as a portable screen.

Fun fact: The joystick issue with NBA Street has been baffling me for years. On my first fat PS2, you could not move up and left at the same time using analog. Your player would stop in place. I changed controllers and got the same problem. On my slim PS2, oddly enough, the problem seemed gone. Last year, on my jailbroken PS3 with software emulation, the problem returned with a vengeance. I have no idea what is causing this, but it even reoccurred in the Xbox version of NBA Street 3. This is the first time I’ve ever seen another person say this out loud. Interesting!

I remember watching another person review this same unit and it was even more a mess than pictured here. It isn't even that bad when comparing it to other homemade portable console mods but when you take something like this that takes a lot of hands on effort and try to sell it as a mass produced product you naturally get tons of quality control issues. There's a reason why people who make modded portable consoles rarely sell them and when they do they charge more than double than what this costs.

And the games are far better, run smoother, look 10x better, and 1/4 of the chunkiness. This thing looks like it came out in 2010 after the PS2 and we are doing an old review. Couldn't come close to justifying that price for how it looks and runs.

Also, they could fix the D-pad. On the other hand, like you mentioned the soldering seems a bit amateur. But overall, like i said - it's ... interesting :)

I just got my Steam Deck, highly recommend it. It's a full PC so you can even install Windows and emulators on it if you want, but I'm enjoying the Linux OS they made for it and my backlog of Steam games. My favorite part is the hardware support tho, it's phenomenal compared to these no-name Chinese handhelds: Valve has already said they will be selling official spare parts for it to replace on your own, and they have their own teardown videos for replacing joysticks. That alone shows me they intend to support it for a very long time.

Drakengard is my favorite PS2 game. It's a dark medieval fantasy eldritch horror JRPG. It's a tad jank and super niche but one of it's sequels "NieR Automata" got some mainstream success. And honestly Yoko Taro's genius shines through. I really hope we someday get a port of it to steam and newer consoles because it costs too much for the average person to justify on it, and while piracy is a solution it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

@@MxGRhythmlModsMusicGamingl Based on Drakengard, known in Japan as Drag-On Dragoon, is a series of action role-playing video games created by Yoko Taro. The eponymous first game in the series was released in 2003 on the PlayStation 2, and has since been followed by a sequel, a prequel and several spin-offs. A spin-off series titled Nier, taking place in an alternative timeline set after a different ending to the first Drakengard than the one 2005's Drakengard 2 followed, was started in 2010 with the eponymous game.

I feel like they could’ve just stook with the vita model and be a little more “clean” with the hardware inside. I do like the idea of being able to play PS2 games on the go but until then, they should just concentrate on an emulator that works for the vita. That’s my take however.🤷‍♂️

@PulseClockPhantom Жыл бұрын

It seems as if the buttons are a bit chintzy. The real question becomes: do the face buttons preserve the analog switching mechanisms present in real PS2 controllers? If not that would make certain games that benefit from or even require this feature, such as The Bouncer (and possibly some niche aspects of MGS 2 & 3) nigh on unplayable. I think the presence or absence of the analog button mechanism would definitely factor into my decision-making process if I were to invest in this device vs a different portable system that could potentially run a PS2 emulator.

V7 probably means it's the 7th version. Looks like a good portable with the only downside being that it was made in China and used crappy d-pad and analog stick. If you could modify it just sacrifice a PS2 controller and replace all those buttons and d-pad on the handheld with the ones from the PS2 controller.

@daikiasuka8209 2 жыл бұрын

Per your request: I'd say my favorite PS2 game was probably Blood Omen 2 from the Legacy of Kain series, or the sequel; Soul Reaver. BO2 was great once you've unlocked a couple of vampiric powers...especially the Jump power. There's just something about targeting an enemy (or victim) from long distance, then just leaping at full speed and slamming them to the ground, and using the mist form that just makes you feel like an actual bad-a$$ vampire, unlike so many other vampire games. My two cents.
