The PS2 turns 25 years old today. Crazy, right? Perfect day for revisiting some classics. What are some of your favourite PS2 games? (lemmy.world)

Disassemble, clean with isopropyl alcohol, reassemble.

I assume there are guides on youtube.

I cleaned mine with alcohol and it did not help. The material (silicone?) is breaking down so just cleaning it didn't help that much.

8bitdo makes a Bluetooth adapter for ps1/2 so you can use modern controllers on the old systems.
