PS2 remote question

st00dent · 4 May 2006 at 22:55

My gf recently bought me a ps2 off ebay and I would like to get a remote control for it. I've had a look and a lot of the auctions say that the remotes only work on newer PS2 models.
How can I find out if mine will be ok?

Is yours small and thin (around the size of a DVD case?)

If so, it's new.

No, it's the older style.
But the auctions I've looked at have quoted model numbers rather than just saying "new thinner models"
:confused:

If your PS2 is either the new thin style, or has an IR window between the power and eject buttons, you can use those remotes.

If you don't have the built-in IR, you need the original remotes that came with the plugin IR receiver.

The later fat PS2s have built in IR sensors. I think they're the ones without an I-link and a small sensor under the power button. If it's an older one you'll need a remote that comes with a sensor that plugs into the controller port.

hope this helps.
