The final SKU (Model 9000x) to be produced made more substantial changes to the slimline design. The slimline PS2 went through a couple of changes (most of them being internal affecting build quality ,improving software compatability and reducing overall weight of the unit and even the power brick itself). For best bet, I would just stick with an earlier revision (SCPH-700xx). The newest version(s) of the Slim have a new BIOS that wont allow FMCB to run, although I'm not certain if these models are exclusive to Japan or not. V14 (SCPH-7500x) has a list of PS1 games that are incompatible, and even a small list of PS2 games that are incompatible! See this link for a list. If you do go with the Slim, I would suggest going with an earlier revision. And from what I've read, the compatibility isn't as good (although I haven't read up on Slim HDD booting in a while - perhaps the compatibility grew). The Slim has its HDD options too, but they're not as good as they are on the Fat. FMCB has other benefits other than OPL, but OPL is probably the biggest reason to use FMCB. This alone is worth owning a Fat over a Slim, but to each his own.īooting games from a HDD will keep wear and tear off the optical drive, and it also benefits from being able to load faster. Using something called Free MC Boot and an app called Open PS2 Loader (or OPL) you can store games on a hard drive and play them from the hard drive. With a network adapter, the Fat can be fitted with a hard drive.
Whether the Slim model is the best, that's up to debate. Sp957 wrote:I know the Slim model is the best, but does anyone know specifically what is the best slim model (the model number)?
