awsome stuff
About 5am this morning, I’d finish most of the assignments and whatevers that’s ergent, so I had a little bit of time on my hands. What did I decide to do? Hook up my 2 ps2 with the ilink cable. Oh yea… that was fun. If you don’t know much about this (you’d probably don’t, I couldn’t find any resources on the net), here’s a little explaination. The early ps2 models has a ilink port, commonly known as fire wire or ieee1394. Anyway this port allows you to hook up one ps2 to another for games such as GT concept01, GT concept02, GT3, Time Crisis(series), Armor Core. Doing so will allow you have have multiplayer game with full screen display.
If you’ve been to autoshows where you’ve seen a 3 monitor setup for the GT series game, this is how they do it. Aside from playing head to head, you can also setup the other ps2 to display the side/back/front views. With it’s limitation, you can have 6 screens surrounding you displaying a full view around the car. Pretty cool stuff. You’d adjust the views on the display console’s control pad using the digital arrow keys.
It’s too bad I only have 2 ps2s…and not enough displays in my room to make the tri screen display. Maybe that’s something I will do. With the ps3 coming out next year, I’m sure there are people who will be selling their old ps2s. Gonna nap me one of those. Heh if I have 6 systems, I’d probably invite my friends over and do a 6 man race.
