Power on ps2 from remote control

**thehead** · 08-08-2006,06:02 PM

Firstly I just want to say WOW sms what a program. I was about to buy a dvd player with support for divx when I found SMS a few days ago and I am loving it.

Now on to my question I am going to buy a remote control for my ps2 and I want to know if there is a model/ make of remote control that can power on the ps2 from standby ( I am lazy and don?t want to leave the chair to turn on the ps2)

p.s i have a version 5 ps2 (not sure if this make a difference).

power on/off from remote is not possible with a v5

well at least i can turn the ps2 off using the shutdown option in SMS. Thats one less trip to the ps2

For sure. And you can exit to the browser, or for example LaunchELF, which could be used to start another program or game. Most of the the time you only need to turn on your PS2 once. If you're playing a game and want to reset or do something else via remote, you'll need a PS2 with a built-in IR reciever (V9+).

yay for V9! pity the lasers burn out so easily... although my dvd has support for divx, and about 5 types of flash memory, i still use SMS (diferent TV).

i do not reccommend running your media off the DVDROM though. laser replacement is expensive.

besides laser replacement more expensive than v7 or lower there are only refurbished for v9-v10 damn i've been looking for a laser fro my v9 and no luck i've looked for over a year

there is a shop here in my city that would replace my laser for $AU150. Sony would fix it for $110.
