It is emulated in 75k+ models. Those no longer have the MIPS R3000A as IOP, but use a PPC based DECKARD emulating its functionality instead.

>>60869680
Holy shit, the minimalistic design maymay has come too far. The One X looks LITERALLY like two boxes stacked on top of each other. I hope the designers for this havent received no more than 10 bucks for this shit.

>>60870155
what did i wrote, fag?

From a hardware standpoint, the best consumer PS2 would be the PSX as that one has 4MB of IOP memory instead of 2MB. This extra RAM could be used for OPL as it wouldn't have to share memory with games, greatly improving compatibility as well as leaving room for other stuff such as better IGS. The DECKARD PS2 models could theoretically be even better than that, however that would require to break out of the emulation and run native PPC code instead which hasn't been done yet.
The best PS2 overall would however be the GScube. PS2 games often looked like shit, mostly because they had to use low res textures as well as framebuffers to fit into 4MB of VRAM, which was made even worse by not having any native hardware texture compressor. Each blade in GScube had 32MB of VRAM instead, completely solving this issue as you could replace the textures with higher res ones as well as bump the rendering resolution in some cases.

It doesn't as far as I'm concerned, mostly because nobody has it. The biggest advantage of DECKARD would be fast USB/ETH mode, putting them maybe even on par with HDD (USB 2.0 with a proper FAT32 driver or full 100Mbit ethernet) with no compatibility issues from excessive use of memory as DECKARD has 4MB of RAM as well.

Why aren't the HDD and DVD limited in the same way?

>>60870929
hey man, i bought a psone with my own pamphlet run money when i was 10, right as they came out

>>60870940
maybe they communicate via DMA instead of via the IOP

>>60870940
DMA

>>60871029
>>60871045

Oh yeah, OPL lets you choose which DMA mode to use for the HDD. I didn't realize that circumvented the IOP.

I want one so bad, I love Gameboy and DS games.

>>60871238
I wanted one too. That thing with an average DS flashcart and the EZ Flash IV is perfect. Perfect.

>>60871286
Can it run a Gameboy flashcart?

>>60871302

The DS doesn't have GB/C hardware. You can emulate with GameYob though, it works great.

>>60871302
I don't think it can. Still IIRC it emulated GB perfectly. Even had RTC support I think?

>>60871314
>GameYob
What is that?

>>60871302
You can use GameYob for that, it's near perfect, never had any issues with it.

>>60871331

It's a GB/C emulator that can run on a DS flashcard.

>>60871339
Can it run on that cheapo flashcart that everyone gets? How about saves?

It'll work on any flashcard. It saves fine and the save data is compatible with other emulators.

>>60871347
Yeah, gameyob doesn't require any cool CPU like the one the supercard dstwo has. It saves correctly.

I remember when Congress blocked PS2 sales to Iraq because they feared Saddam Hussein would attempt to build a supercomputer with them.

From the source

>Most Americans don't realise that each PlayStation unit contains a 32-bit CPU - every bit as powerful as the processor found in most desktop and laptop computers," one unnamed military intelligence source told WND. "Beyond that, the graphics capabilities of a PlayStation [2] are staggering - five times more powerful than that of a typical graphics workstation, and roughly 15 times more powerful than the graphics cards found in most PCs."
>15 times more powerful than the graphics cards found in most PCs."

Holy shit, PC eternally BTFO. Seriously though, [spoiler]was the PS2 really powerful in comparison against 2000 PCs?[/spoiler]

>>60871640

Playstation consoles are always designed to produce bullshit theoretical specs that will never be practical. In the PS2's case, it was bottlenecked by the crushingly small 4MB of VRAM.
If you want something to blame for blurry textures and sub-480i resolutions, blame the VRAM.

In the same sense that the PS3 was massively more powerful than most computers, yes.
And by "most computers" I mean "the average desktop in a workplace or home, using intel HD garbage"

It was nice to mod. Xbox Media Center came from that (thanks to the leaked SDK), which they later shorted to XBMC and much later renamed to Plex when they wanted to try to get away from the pirate rep it had had since, you know, the very beginning.

Development was quite fun on the PSX too, thanks to the cartridge port in early models and things like FCD's X-ploder's bitbanging parallel port X-Link, and Caetla.

Remember the buffer overflow in the PS2's memory card name parsing - which happened on boot and allowed for seamless softmodding? Actually discovered by accident as I found a corrupted PS2 save that reliably froze the system and wondered why - but passed the details onto others who developed it further, as I could never get the drive reading burned discs reliably unless it had read an original first without being opened (turned out this was due to shit lasers, as Taiyo-Yuden cyanine CD-R and DVD+R media worked fine). Think they were Chinese. Don't care, they paid.

>>60871679
Bottlenecked in gaming, maybe, but for specialised workloads (that didn't need much precision) you might be able to have some fun with it.

>>60871469
Ironically, it's PS3s you really wanted for that, as the Cell was pretty good at crypto crunching, before GPUs and their shaders started to dominate the field. The US Air Force actually did that and were very, very pissed off at the later firmware update removing the stuff they needed to run Linux on their cluster, so they commissioned, well, a solution to their issue.

A solution was duly delivered.

>>60871698
>1080i
In order to achieve that you had to render 1920x270x16bpp at 120fps. So yes, it was quite a huge bottleneck.

>>60871868
>1920x270x16bpp at 120fps
wut

>>60871920
It's interlaced, the full 1080 frame consist of 2 fields containing even and odd pixels (540 lines each) which also needed to be split in first half and second half (270 lines) so it would fit into PS2's 4MB of VRAM. This meant that in order to render a full 1080 frame at 30 FPS you had to render those 270 line parts at 120 FPS.
