￭ Monitor Cable Adaptor - Connects from AV out on PlayStation 2 to VGA monitor cable. Also has two audio jacks for stereo speakers.

￭ DVD Disc Set - Two DVDs containing the Linux OS, RTE and hardware manuals.

The DVDs contain the following:

RE: Linux for PlayStation2 Release 1.0
I thought Sony was releasing a new Linux for PlayStation 2 slim when I saw this thread.

PCSX2 does not have HDD and USB plugins, so how to make it work? It would be fun if we could run it on PCSX2.

RE: Linux for PlayStation2 Release 1.0
It doesn't work AFAIK because you can't install it (no proper HDD support)

RE: Linux for PlayStation2 Release 1.0
why do you need to run this anyway you can install a proper Linux on the PC from the beginning or use it in VM


your CPU doesn't support Visualization and you want a Windows and Linux on your machine Tongue
