Re: MD: Playstation 2 as a MD source?
I also can report that the PS2 is great as an optical-out source for recording MDs. I was overjoyed to find that my PS2 had a more practical use than vegeing out with games! I've also found that the PS2 seems to read audio CDs better, without skips etc., than some CD players - which is reassuring when you're copying whole CDs without monitoring them. Talking about CD-skips when recording MDs... I recently thought of a quick check to see if the MD you recorded has any skips or glitches from the CD source. I found that every skip during a recording created an extra track mark, so the number of tracks on the MD additional to the number on the CD source would tell me straight-away how many problem areas you had to correct (cleaning CD, then deleting and re-recording certain tracks, etc...). I found this useful if I don't have time to listen through a newly recorded MD. Can anyone else confirm that this always works? I'm considering buying a Playstation 2; as I don't have a CD player with optical out (and am happy with the one I've got, which has no digital out), would the PS2 be suitable for recording digitally to MD? Does it pass trackmarks and work just like a CD player?

=== = NB: Over 50% of this message is QUOTED, please = = be more selective when quoting text = === That's interesting about that skipping technique. I didn't realize it would do that. I had a CD skip in there while recording, but I didn't check for extra tracks (I was pretty quick to stop the recording though). :ml --- Mike Lastucka, B.

Re: MD: Playstation 2 as a MD source?
Does the PS2 play audio CD-RWs? The original PlayStation (PS1??) plays audio CD-RWs no problem, so I imagine that the PS2 would too. If you want me to try it to be sure, let me know I will... Gord - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: MD: Playstation 2 as a MD source?
I only use my PS2 for recording audio from CD to MD, and it works really really well! The CD player for the PS2 is pretty sparse, but it gets the job done with stuff like program and shuffle play, etc. And yes, it passes trackmarks correctly too. :) :ml --- Mike Lastucka, B.

Does the system allow titling via USB keyboards as well? If you have a USB-PS/2 adapter, they can :-) Does such a beast even exist? - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, I have one running my USB mouse into the ps/2 mouse port, the same can be done with keyboards. Anthony Lalande wrote: Does the system allow titling via USB keyboards as well?

Re: MD: Playstation 2?
You do realize, don't you, that before there was the PS2 (PlayStation 2) there was the PS/2 (Personal System/2)...a personal computer built by IBM? You also realize, don't you, that before those computers, keyboards used a large 5-pin DIN connector, and that since, computers now use a 6-pin mini DIN connector? Well, those 6-pin Mini DIN connectors are, by and large in the computer industry, called PS/2 connectors, because the first computers to use those connectors were PS/2 computers.

Umm... you can't play MiniDiscs on it, so I guess it really isn't an issue here. I think I understand the confusion (because I really don't understand that first message). A PS/2 keyboard is not the same as a keyboard for a Playstation 2. PS/2 is a type of connector that attaches a normal computer keyboard to a computer. PS/2 keyboards can also be used for titling. Can USB keyboards? Certain systems boast the ability to connect to a computer via USB.

Re: MD: Playstation 2
There was a small rumor that instead of a VMU like the dreamcast or whatever memory thing the current playstation uses, they would put a md data drive in there for pretty much unlimited game saves, i doubt that's gonna happen though. - Original Message - From: Joost de Meij [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 25, 2000 11:36 AM Subject: MD: Playstation 2 Speaking of that, didn't Sony mention some sort of MD drive for the thing when it was in development?
