The PlayStation 2 Expansion Bay is a 3.5' drive bay introduced with the model 30000 and 50000 PlayStation 2 (replacing the PCMCIA slot used in the models 10000, 15000, and 18000, and no longer present as of the model 70000) designed for the network adaptor and internal hard disk drive (HDD). These peripherals enhance the capabilities of the PS2 to allow online play and other features that were shown at E3 2001.

What is a poker trail ride. Jun 20, 2016  So wait, what is a poker ride? 20 June 2016 by Danielle Tarloff in Fat Tire Blog - No Comments Oh man are we excited, and perhaps in our excitement we’ve left you a bit confused. The club held its third annual poker ride on June 22 in the Pedee Creek area in Polk County near Monmouth. The club’s trails are on private land by permission, and had been groomed by club.

Network Adaptor[edit]

A PS2 Network adapter shown by itself (top) and inserted to a console (bottom).

The Network Adaptor was released together with the launch of the PlayStation 2 Network Play service. Two models of the adapter were available - one with a dial-up modem and an Ethernet jack for broadbandInternet connection (sold in North America), and one with only an Ethernet interface (sold in Europe and other regions). A start-up disc ('Network Access Disc') is included with the Network Adaptor and installs a file on the memory card for connection settings which are accessible by all but one Network Adaptor compatible game. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 was released in November 2001 and supported the Network Adaptor hardware, but not the software as it was not finalized until much later.

The Network Adaptor also provides a Parallel ATA interface and a Molex disk drive power connector to allow installation of a 3.5 in IDE hard disk drive in the expansion bay. As the two disk connectors are on separate circuit boards from the main Network Adapter one, third party connector replacements including a SATA connector and SATA to IDE converter are available.

Slimline PlayStation 2 models have an ethernet port built-in, but no official hard disk drive interface. However, the first slimline model (SCPH-70000) has a complete Network Adapter onboard (including an analog modem in the earliest North American models), and may be modified to add an external IDE connector board.From the SCPH-75000 series onwards, Ethernet functionality was integrated into the I/O Processor (which was completely internally redesigned)[1], completely removing the disk interface.

The maximum supported rate is 100Mbit/s, at full duplex. It is also backwards compatible with 10Mbit/s hardware and configurations.

Hard disk drive[edit]

PlayStation HDD and Network Adapter

The PlayStation 2 Hard Disk Drive (PS2 HDD) was released on July 19, 2001 in Japan (together with the Network Adaptor) and on March 23, 2004 in North America. It requires the Network Adaptor to connect to the PlayStation 2 and to receive power. The HDD has a 40 GB capacity that can be used by games to reduce load time by putting data on the hard drive temporarily, or back up memory card data. Due to MagicGate copyright protection, programs that are bootable directly from the HDD (e.g. PlayStation Broadband Navigator, PlayOnline Viewer, Pop'n Music Puzzle-dama Online) are keyed to the system when that system installs them. The HDD can be transferred to another PlayStation 2 system and files on the HDD can be accessed, but those specific programs cannot be booted without being reinstalled. Contrary to popular belief, a complete reformat of the HDD is not necessary upon transfer of the HDD between consoles, or else it would not be useful to have the HDD be preformatted and have preinstalled software, as is the case with the North American HDD unit. An HDD Utility Disc is included to allow maintenance of the HDD (including defragmentation, disk repair and formatting utilities, along with a file manager browser) and in North America, Final Fantasy XI is also included. There are 35 North American games that support the HDD.

Unofficial software called HD Loader (later also HD Advance and Open Playstation Loader) allow users to copy entire games to the HDD and run them without the discs. They also allow using some standard consumer hard drives in the PS2, however they will not be compatible with software that is expecting the standard PS2 hard drive. This software combined with a hard drive allows one to play games without using the original disc. This is desirable as it protects the fragile and perhaps rare game discs from harm, in some cases it may improve performance. However, the practice is not without controversy. HDLoader bypasses the usual copy protection mechanisms built into the console, allowing for piracy.

North American releases with HDD support[edit]

  • ESPN NFL 2K5, NBA 2K5, ESPN College Hoops 2K5, ESPN MLB 2K5, and ESPN NHL 2K5 use the HDD to improve replays. (If the HDD is not installed, static screenshots are shown as replays.

^† 2K sports titles up to the 2K9 versions (except College Hoops, where it only applies to 2K6, 2K7 and 2K8 versions since there is no 2K9), also use the HDD to display recorded replays from game action. Without it, stills are shown in NBA games (during halftime and the end of the game) and no end-of-inning replays are shown in MLB.

Linux kit[edit]

The Linux Kit for PlayStation 2 was released in 2002 and included the PlayStation 2 Linux software, keyboard, mouse, VGA adapter (which requires an RGB monitor with sync-on-green), Network Adaptor (Ethernet only) and a 40 GB hard disk drive. It allows the PlayStation 2 to be used as a personal computer.

Hacking and modding[edit]

As of mid 2010, it is possible to install and use the PlayStation BB Navigator (PS-BBN) and the HDD-OSD (HDD Utility-Disc) on every PlayStation 2 Console from every region. This can be achieved with the use of special 'patched' files for the HDD-OSD, PS-BBN, and a modified version of 'uLaunch' (a well known piece of PlayStation 2 homebrew software) called 'hacked-ule'. It is now also possible to install homebrew software to the HDD and make it launchable through the HDD-OSD and PS-BBN's 'Game-Channel', just like any other official HDD game. However, installing such homebrew software to the HDD still requires much work in a Hex-Editor. PS-BBN can now also be fully translated into any given language; the translation process involves the use of the 'Beta-linux' release for PlayStation 2 and a specially compiled kernel which gives access to the 'APA-ReiserFS' partitions.

As of 2013, most (if not all) games that use the HDD to install data (to decrease load time) and/or to save/load (instead of using a Memory Card) can be used on any PlayStation 2 console from any region and on any HDD by using a Hex-Editor (or ATADPatcher v0.02) and some type of booting software 'ESR' (a well known piece of homebrew software for the PS2). If a 'patched' copy of HDD-OSD and/or PlayStation BB Navigator (PS-BBN) is used, users can see all the data currently installed in the same way as with the official 'SONY 40 GB HDD' (SCPH-20401).

Ghostbusters Slot Machine

Even though it is getting old (in slot machine years), Ghostbusters can still be found in just about every major casino in Vegas and there seem to be more versions of the game appearing every year, to keep us amused.

The Ghostbusters slot was released in 2011 and become an instant hit in casinos throughout the US. The popularity of the original movie and the fact that the game contains so many clips from that movie makes it so much fun to play, it is hard to describe.

When you play, you feel like you are being taken right back to the movie, all those years ago. Apart from this time, you are playing one of the starring roles in busting those ghosts.

The game has a truly amazing variety of bonuses and features that seems to keep even the most critical of real money gambling players happy for hours on end in Las Vegas. And that's not really because you get big wins (you don't, from what I can see), it's because of the joy of the game.

Ghostbusters Slots Online

The online version of Ghostbusters is pretty much identical to the Vegas original and it keeps all of the most loved features. That is a pretty good effort, considering how much there is to this game, so the makers should be applauded for that.

Playing online is easy if you live in the UK (see our UK casinos list to play the game for cash), but not if you live in the US or Canada. That is due to licensing restrictions in those countries - you get to play the game in the land-based casinos, but not online for real money.

If you are in one of those restricted countries, like Canada, please see our Canadian Online casinos list - there, you will find casinos with similar games and some of them are amazing. Likewise, if you enjoy playing Pokies in Australia, then see our Australian online casinos page.

Ghostbusters Slots Bonuses

Even though Ghostbusters slots is not known for paying out big wins, it does pay out reasonably regularly. The best feature, in terms of making cash, is the Stay Puff bonus. This bonus gives you free spins, whilst at the same time handing out sticky wilds.

If you are lucky enough to get some good sticky wilds at the beginning of the free spins bonus, you can be guaranteed a big payout.

As you might expect, though, the Stay Puff bonus does not hit very often, with others like The Ballroom Bonus and the Psychic Bonus hitting far more frequently. I played the game about 10 times before I got to play that bonus and each time I played it was for at least half an hour - that's how tough it is to hit.

Wheel of Fortune was a British television game show based on the American show of the same name created by Merv Griffin.Contestants compete to solve word puzzles, similar to those used in Hangman, to win cash and prizes.The title refers to the show's giant carnival wheel that contestants spin throughout the course of the game to determine their cash and/or prizes. Wheel of Fortune (often known simply as Wheel) is an American television game show created by Merv Griffin that debuted in 1975. The show features a competition in which contestants solve word puzzles, similar to those used in Hangman, to win cash and prizes determined by spinning a giant carnival wheel.

One of the nicest things about Ghostbusters slots is that it has loads of little features that never fail to surprise. It seems that as time has gone by, more of these have been added to the game, presumably being uploaded on the fly from the games main servers.

One example, would be the ghost that sometimes appears across the screen leaving a trail of wilds behind it. It's a bit like the Flying Monkeys in Wizard of Oz, where wild symbols stick to the screen. I love this bonus, because you never quite know when it is going to end and the longer it goes, the more money accumulates.

One of the other things I love about the Ghostbusters game, is the way the bonus symbols come in. If you get the first two, you get a really deep rumbling noise and the third reel starts to spin faster. It creates real adrenalin, which is what we all love in Vegas slots when we play.

It's not just the sounds that make the game, it is also the music. That soundtrack to the film is legendary and I love hearing that playing in the background as I play the slots machine 'I aint afraid of no ghost!'.
