PS2 Vertical Stands

[Daytony]

Thanks for the info I did test FMCB in memory slot 2 on the PS2 itself and it worked.

I might have to hold off on getting one of these for alittle while since I am going to replace my PS2

Just tested my intec multi-tap/horizontal stand/AV selector for slim PS twos that looks like this:


It worked fine with FMCB in MC on Slot 1 of multi-tap. Slot 2 of multi-tap doesn't work though.

That vertical stand you have pictured looks like it takes up as much room as if the PS2 was in the horizontal position, looks cool though.

I'd like to get one of these, but what I'm noticing is that square on the top right corner... that piece is to compensate for the missing piece in the slim PS2. The problem is that mine's modified with the HDCombo, so that bit is already filled over.


So I wonder what is in it and if I can possibly just remove it without consequence. Otherwise, it won't be much good to me.

The thing in the corner has the IR receiver in it. The small PCB it is mounted to could cut and the IR receiver moved to below the LEDs, then the protrusion cut off.

It is probably easier to just use the multi-tap to house a 2.5" HDD, as there is enough room with some modifications of the internals of the multi-tap case.
A 3.5" HDD is a little too big though.

a 2.5 in. hdd could fit inside the horizontal muti-tap i guess.

But the v12-v13 have built in IR-receivers, that's what the little square window on the bottom right of the console is. If it's just filler, I'm guessing it can be cut down. I just wanted to verify that there was nothing in there.

The IR receiver is for the selecting of A/V inputs. Both multi-taps have no buttons for this function and rely solely on the remote.

Hmm... If I were to get this, file it down and move the IR receiver down... I think it could work if there's enough room on the inside.

You said you got it at Fry's, right?

Yeah Fry's down here had them on clearance so they may not be available at all stores.
They were $10 bucks when I first got one, then the price was like $5 last time I was there.
I picked an extra one up at that price, so if you can't find one, just PM me and I'll ship it to you for $5, plus shipping.
(This offer is only for TehJawknee, I doubt that I will find any next time I visit frys, as they were nearly out last time.)

[TehJawknee]

I'll head to Fry's here tomorrow and see if they have it.
If they don't, I'll PM ya so we can arrange delivery and stuff. Thanks, man.
