PS1/2 Can you wipe ps2 os

[ThatGamingAirman]

I have a friend who wants to make a computer out of 2 ps2's and doesn't know how to wipe the os. How can he if its possible

 

[smileyhead]

I'm not sure if that's even possible.

That's not possible, there is only a linux CD for old PS2s with the HDD-port.
It would be really slow though, probably a Raspberry Pi 3b+ would be more usable.

But the PS2 is a computer already... what do you mean?

He want's it for an actual computer

Dreamcast would make a better PC. SMH.

You can bypass the OS for the most part, unless you can code your own BIOS and solder a new one.

1) Get a couple of hdd adapters
2) install a hacked oddosd with linux distro onto a couple of hdds or purchase the kit
3) setup freehdboot in a way which works with the hacked oddosd or freemcboot
4) change the default program to linux (untested, if not launch through browser)
5) run a program which can parrallel process across two consoles over ethernet similar to the PS3 server farm.

Yes I know its a joke topic but I thought it was funnier that it was possible in a way.

You can't do that; you can't edit the ROM of the PS2.

Can he just buy an AMD APU? They are cheap and rocking very well.. And they are ''ACTUAL COMPUTER''

you don't need to, get a linux kit

only works for the phat model.

can slims work if used with a modified version of rhino and through usb via a homebrew solution (freemcboot/swapmagic/modchip)
dont have a slim anymore due to me actually trying to fix a part but of course for some odd reason when i take something apart. due to stress i brake it. i broke the power button. at least i have a joyriged(topless) freemcboot and have swapmagic for my ps2 phat. ( i have a giant fan near me and that ps2 as well as clean dust off of the internals [almost everyday]) also been practicing so speed running and found this . can anyone tell me this glitch was found or not because i know a similar one that involves the valves.
