Playing a game

You can play PlayStation®2 and PlayStation® format software on the PlayStation®2 console.

Starting a game

Insert the disc to start playback.

Resetting a game

Press the ?/1/RESET button. Be careful not to accidentally press the ?/1/RESET button while playing a game, as doing so will cause the game to reset.

Ending a game

After saving game data, turn the console off, and then remove the disc.

Using the analog controller (DUALSHOCK®2)

The analog controller (DUALSHOCK®2) is equipped with pressure-sensitive buttons and sticks. This enables you to control game action with enhanced precision based on the force with which buttons are pressed or the angle at which the analog stick is tilted. It is also a force feedback controller with a vibration function.

Switching modes

Depending on the game, you may need to set the controller to either digital or analog mode. Press the ANALOG mode button of the controller to switch to the analog mode (indicator: red). To return to digital mode, press the ANALOG mode button again. Some games make this adjustment automatically.

Using memory cards

You can save and load game data using a memory card (sold separately). You can also delete game data or copy game data from one memory card to another.
