V12 (or V13) was succeeded by V14 (SCPH-7500x), which contains different ASICs than previous revisions, with some chips having a copyright date of 2005, compared to 2000 or 2001 for earlier models. A limited edition pink console also became available after March 2007. The V12 model was first released in black, but a silver edition was available in the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, United Arab Emirates and other GCC countries, France, Italy, South Africa, and North America. The sub-versions are variously referred to as V12 for both models, V11.5 for the older and V12 for the newer model, and V12 for the older and V13 for the newer model. There are two sub-versions of the SCPH-700xx, one with the old Emotion Engine (EE) and Graphics Synthesizer (GS) chips, and the other with the newer unified EE+GS chip, but otherwise are identical. The removal of the expansion bay results in incompatibility with games that require the HDD expansion, such as Final Fantasy XI. It also lacks an internal power supply, similar to the GameCube, and has a modified Multitap expansion. Due to its thinner profile, it does not contain the 3.5" expansion bay and therefore does not support the internal hard disk drive. Available in late October 2004, it is smaller, thinner, and quieter than the older versions and includes a built-in Ethernet port (in some markets it also has an integrated modem). In September 2004, Sony unveiled its third major hardware revision (V12, model number SCPH-700xx). Original style Slimline PS2 with a DualShock 2 controllerĢ × USB 1.1, Ethernet, IrDA, 2 × controller ports. Slimline case designs PlayStation 2 slimline Several different variations in color were produced in different quantities and regions, including ceramic white, light yellow, metallic blue (aqua), metallic silver, navy (star blue), opaque blue (astral blue), opaque black (midnight black), pearl white, Sakura purple, satin gold, satin silver, snow white, super red, transparent blue (ocean blue), and also Limited Edition color Pink, which was distributed in regions including Oceania and parts of Asia. An infrared receiver was added for use with a remote to control DVD playback, leaving both controller ports free from the external receiver. There was also the SCPH-3000x, 3500x, 3900x, and 500xx models.īeginning with model SCPH-500xx (v9 & 10), the i.LINK port was removed. V7 and V8 included only minor revisions to V6. V5 also introduced a more reliable laser than the ones used in previous models. V5 introduced minor internal changes, and the only difference between V6 (sometimes called V5.1) and V5 is the orientation of the Power/Reset switch board connector, which was reversed to prevent the use of no-solder modchips. In V4, everything except the power supply was unified onto one board. V3 had a substantially different internal structure from the subsequent revisions, featuring several interconnected printed circuit boards. SCPH-10000 and SCPH-15000 did not have built-in DVD movie playback and instead relied on encrypted playback software that was copied to a memory card from an included CD-ROM (normally, the PS2 will only execute encrypted software from its memory card see PS2 Independence Exploit). These models instead included a PCMCIA slot. The source code for this tool will be made available shortly on sf.net.Three of the original PS2 launch models (SCPH-10000, SCPH-15000, and SCPH-18000) were only sold in Japan and lacked the expansion bay of later PS2 models. Conversion is no substitute for a redump as converted BIOS's will not contain the new information dumped from BIOS Dumper v2.0. You won't need to throw away your old BIOS files, as a convertor will be released in the future to convert the older format to P2B. It is highly recommended that you redump your BIOS to get a more complete dump and thus enable PCSX2 to more accurately emulate the PlayStation 2 PCSX2 0.9.4 will be using the new format BIOS (*.p2b) created by BIOS Dumper v2.0, as it dumps a more "complete" copy of the BIOS. This program will dump the PS2 BIOS, DVD Player ROM, NVM etc from your PlayStation 2 via a 'host' enabled connection. Florin has just released BIOS Dumper v2.0 which you can grab from our Downloads>Tools Section here.
