PS One games on PlayStation2 memory card
The PlayStation2 will not recognize a PlayStation2 memory card when a PS One game is being played. However, you can use a PlayStation2 memory card to store any PS One game, freeing up more space for other PS One games. Simply use the PlayStation2's internal memory manager to transfer all your PS One saves from a PS One memory card to a PlayStation2 memory card. When you need to play from a saved PS One game, just transfer the file back to a PS One memory card.

Memory card character actions
This trick can be done with certain PlayStation2 games. Go into the Browser screen and select the memory card. Then, choose a game and select "Delete"; but do not delete the saved game. The character should do a different action then when you first entered the memory card screen. For example, with an Onimusha save game, choose that save and select "Delete" when prompted. The system should ask you to confirm the deletion, but at the same time the character should be doing a different action than the first time.

Internet play for less
To have Internet play with spending less money, buy a USB to ethernet adapter if you have a Cable or DSL modem. Directly connect it to either one of these, or if you have a router, connect it through there. The back of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, an online game, will give you further instructions.

Turn off parental lock
Insert a DVD. When the movie starts, press [Select] to go to the menu. Find the "Setup" icon and select it. When in the setup menu, press [Right]x2 to get to the custom setup. Go down to "Parental Control" and press [Right] to go to "Region", then go down to go to "Level". You can now turn the parental control on or off, and/or change the password.

Change or delete parental lock
Press [Start] when prompted to enter the code. Once you get to where you enter the numbers, press [Start] and you will be asked if you want to delete it. You can also enter another code instead of deleting it. The master code is "7444". Enter it, and at the last "4", press [Select] at the same time. Do this again, and you will eventually get the option to delete the lock. Enter "7444" again to delete the code.

Quick start
Instead pressing "Restart" to start the PlayStation2, press "Eject". It should go through the flying in introduction a lot faster than normal. Note: You need to do this immediately after you turn on the main power from the back.

In-game reset
While playing most games, press [Start] + [Select] + [R1] + [R2] + [L1] + [L2] to return to the game's main menu.

Pink flying squares
Insert a blank CD-R to see pink squares flying around.

Bypass DVD regional lockout (Japanese version)
Note: This trick requires an original non-analog PlayStation controller and a PlayStation2 console with the launch version DVD utility software and memory card package. Plug the controller into port one. Place a DVD disc in the system and hold [Up] until the DVD player menu appears. Release [Up], and select the play icon.

Alternately, hold [L1] + [Select] + [Circle] buttons while the PlayStation2 console is turned on. Insert the DVD disc and play.

Free up memory cards
This trick requires the Official Sony PlayStation HDD. Select your PlayStation or PlayStation2 memory card at the browser screen. Under "Copy" you should see the HDD. Select it, and copy. You now have more space on your card. You can also copy it back from the HDD using the same process. You can also make folders in the HDD and then copy the saves to them to keep it more organized.

Cleaning
Buy a can of electronics duster to clean the interior of the PlayStation easily and effectively while it is on or off. Note: Cleaning the fan in the back the PlayStation2 must be done while it is off to ensure that there is no damage from the fan being spun the wrong way while in motion.
