Are there any PS2 games that still work online?

I'm going to assume no, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

I think Final Fantasy XI maybe....I am pretty sure that game is still going.

full list of online games some terminated which half were worth the 60$ back then

If you're willing to look, there may be user made servers for online enabled PS2 games. If I'm correct, people to this day are still playing the Dreamcast online with user created servers for games like Phantasy Star Online.

I think here is a list

I wish MGS3 Subsistence was still online. I had a blast playing it, more than MGO on MGS4.

The SOCOM series is still online. That is what matters to me :)

lol... isn't that funny? The cheaters on the game drove away all the legitplayers, then the only ones who still played were code 9ers, hackers, lag switchers, etc. etc. I played the game a couple weeks back and even though only like 300 people were on the game, In about 6-8 games I did not see a SINGLE person cheating... I guess all those cheaters got tired and decided to move on to ruin another title instead.... Oh, by the way, if you have a PS3 vote for SOCOM 2 to be remade... They are listening and it may be a reality. I mean I would take the same game all prettied up with new graphics if they keep the controls and mechanics the same... I mean they could always add even more maps, and sell the previous map packs again... :) On that note though... can't wait for SOCOM 4... even if its only 1.5 times better then Confrontation it should be a blast to at least have a little bit of that SOCOM feel... with new maps, weapons, and some old fan favorites. The release is too far away :( Im tired of playing CoD and MoH.... sigh....

There is a broadband adapter for the Dreamcast but its a little pricey. While there are a handful of online Dreamcast games still up, its really not worth getting a BBA for it. If you really wanna take you Dreamcast online just get a free dial-up connection from like Net-Zero or something (google). It gives you limited access to the web through 56k but its enough to take the Dreamcast online.

[QUOTE="godzillavskong"] Yeah, I was trying to hook my Dreamcast up online the other day, but I forgot that it uses a 56k phone line connection, instead of the ethernet cord. I wonder if they make an adapter which can plug ethernet cable in one end of the jack, and phone line out the other?I have Vonage phone service so I may be able to rig that up somehow. As far as PS2 games still online, I played Socom 2 about 6 or 7 months ago online , or should I say I watched my son play it online. It was actually lag free.godzillavskong

I use an LCD SDTV for all my older games, the TV not only has an RGB socket , but also VGA, and the picture from both is brilliant, even better then alot of older CRTs

for the PS3, I use a 32inch HDTV, the older games look a bit washed out on it

come to think of it , I need a bigger room to keep my games in :P

[QUOTE="godzillavskong"][QUOTE="AcidSoldner"] No everything is free now as all the Sega servers are down. The only servers still up are usually maintained by the community like PSO and Quake 3 and Gamespy still has a couple up. You shouldn't have to pay for a thing :PDarkman2007

[QUOTE="godzillavskong"] Thanks bro! I am turning my garage into a game room here in the next couple of months and I'm trying to get most of the consoles, with their features put in there. I'm hooking my Dreamcast up to a monitor with the VGA cable, it looks so much better with that, and keeping my Genesis,T16,Saturn, and N64 hooked up to a regular 27in tv, to keep that retro feel. 360,PS3, and Wii can get hooked up to the LCD. Can't wait! AcidSoldner

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"][QUOTE="AcidSoldner"] I'm pretty much the same. For my PS3 and 360 I use 32" LG Plasma and for every console gen prior I use a 19" Philips CRT. I absolutely love that little TV for all my older consoles, everything looks so crisp on it. I am looking into getting component cables for my Xbox and a VGA box for my Dreamcast so I can hook it up to my plasma (and free up space in my brothers room :P ) so I can play those console in all of their sub-HD glory! :lol:godzillavskong

[QUOTE="godzillavskong"]

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"] RGB looks great on any TV , composite on the other hand, looks blurry. and yes, RGB is better then component .Darkman2007

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"][QUOTE="godzillavskong"]Isn't RGB (Red,Green,Blue) component? Yellow white red is composite right? Is that what you meant, or is RGB something totally different?

godzillavskong

RF is terrible, you can do better then that :P

RGB brings out the detail , makes older games look very sharp.

As far as plasmas go, don't worry about burn in. Unless you're buying something used from like 5 or 6 years ago then maybe, but any plasma from tha past 4 or 5 years has either no burn in at all or burn in mechanisms that eliminate them.

[QUOTE="godzillavskong"][QUOTE="Darkman2007"] component and RGB are close but RGB is considerd slightly better. the thing is, I live in Europe where RGB is quite common , in the US, its very uncommon. I mean ,most people still use composite for their old systems in the US , wheres I use RGB for everything from the PS2, all the way down to the Master System. the Dreamcast uses VGA , but thats the exceptionDarkman2007

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"]

[QUOTE="godzillavskong"]Yeah, I haven't really noticed any of those RGB hookups on any of my tvs.I use HDMI for all the current systems, except for the Wii, which it is using the component adapter. VGA for Dreamcast. The rest are either composite video cables or RF adapters. Oh, the PS2 is using a component adapter also. godzillavskong

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"][QUOTE="godzillavskong"] I know RF isn't great , but what else would I use to hook up my Genesis,T16, or Saturn? Do they make standard video cables for them? I think I seen a S Video adapter for one, but I'm not sure.godzillavskong

[QUOTE="godzillavskong"]

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"] well , over here I can get RGB SCART cables for them , but obviously thats not available in the US. the only option for you would be S-video , there are Saturn S-video cables I know that much , as for the Mega Drive , well , again , here it can run RGB, but I hear you have to modify the US genesis for it to accept S-video. TG16 would be the biggest issue. I still don't understand why RGB isnt the standard in the US , seems like most people use composite, or even RF which was fine in 1990, but today?Darkman2007

[QUOTE="Darkman2007"][QUOTE="godzillavskong"]Yeah, I recently watched a Youtube clip, where a guy modded his Genesis, and installed component outputs. I guess the RF outputs aren't that bad for the Genesis, or T16, and I'll probably go ahead and get the S Video for my Saturn then. At least the N64 has regular video hook ups. Is there a component attachment available for the N64?

the system is dirt cheap here, you can pick them up with a few games for £15-20.

by comparison the NES wasnt as popular, and an NES with less games (usually just 2-3) will cost at least £35

of course the best Master Systems are the Japanese ones as they have improved sound in some games due to the extra sound chip, which was taken out of the US and PAL SMS systems

[QUOTE="godzillavskong"][QUOTE="Darkman2007"] nope, sadly the N64 is a pain as far as video connections. NTSC models can be modified to output RGB, but thats pretty useless for US owners unless you find some roundabout way to get RGB (like playing the game on a PC monitor) PAL models can't be modified for RGB, and thus have to use composite, the N64 is the only console I own that doesn't support RGB, even my Master System supports RGB, and thats 10 years older......Darkman2007

[QUOTE="godzillavskong"] Man! I still haven't got my hands on a Master System.That was probably my first true game system. My dad had a Atari 2600, but I really didn't care for it too much. I remember playing games like Space Harrier 3D, with those huge 3D glasses!:) Shinobi was also one of my favorites on that system. Rastan,Reggie Jackson Baseball,Alex Kidd in Miracle World,and that cool motorcycle game(I can't remember the name). It was also unique that you could press all the buttons and to the left of the direction pad to play that secret snail game!godzillavskong

There is a list of which ps2 games are still online. It was made up of the older lists posted in this thread already, but I have been updating it since then.
