OK. I am looking to buy a PS2 for myself. I only want it for the Final Fantasy series ending at 12. Where can I get the games as cheap as I can? (Amazon has them at about £20 each for 7,8 and 9, and 10 and 12 are £2 each).

Once I have the PS2, how can I hook it upto a PC Monitor (only 19") and also how can I get sound from it?

Plenty of websites have PS2 ISO files, jsut mod your console.

I can't see there being piracy issues on an outdated console :).

I have no idea how to do that, but I'm guessing that I'd still need discs to burn games onto or is there another way of playing them now? I only wanted the console for 11 games...I have none of them YET...

Burn the games onto a blank dvd :).
Just get a slide card and boot disc for the PS2.

I know talk on copying stuff is a no-no on these forums but there is no point paying a high price for a rare PS2 game (for argeuments sake - I have no idea how much the PS2 FF games go for) when the console is obsolete.

FF7 is around £20 (PS1), as is 8. FF9 is around £30. I have them somewhere...although I suspect they are lost due to moving. :(:(:(:(

ALSO, Sorry if this topic is not liked by you mods, feel free to give my an ear full :D

Jaffa Far's thread here has given me an idea - I want to do the same with later Nintendo consoles!

Firstly, can the Wii play Gamecube games?

Secondly, what connectivity options do I have for a computer monitor? (monitor has VGA, DVI and HDMI)

Thirdly, sound options? Would it be the red/white connectors as KDD said for PS2?

To the OP - I thought that PS3 is backwards compatible to PS2 and PSX so that you can play all types?

If the PS3 is backwards compatible or not helps not 1 bit. I do not own one.
 
I have 100% completed 7, 9 and 10. I sold them, like a plonker. I am bidding on 7,8 and 9 on eBay. I will get those done and dusted first before I get 10 and 12. And then after that I need the 1-6 games.
 
I am waiting for my cousin to get back to me, he wants £20 for his PS2. I do not have the funds for a PS3 so thats why I am getting the 2. It will be connected to a 1440x900 PC Monitor that has RGB imput as it has a TV Tuner on the rear side. I still need to work the audio out...
 
Well. I got a fat PS2 for £10 in Game-Station today. Told my cousin to keep his. Won FF7, 8 and 9 with Metal Gear Solid for £50 on ebay. VERY happy chappy!!
 
OK. My PS1 games where delivered today. I have a problem. I have tried Final Fantasy 10 and 12, they work fine. The PS1 game however, I get sounds but no pictures...on any. I have no idea what is causing this. Can you help me?

As the chip forced the code for the PS2 game so the console thought it was that.

I would try the game in a friend's console just so you know it is that rather than the console. If the CD needs cleaning I find warm water and washing up liquid is the best :). Certainly don't start using cloths on it though!

Works on my brothers as I tried it before I got home. How can I tell if it's chipped and how can I disable it?
