A big thanks to everyone that has contributed to the PCSX2 project!
I've gone through THREE PS2s over the years. My first one was stolen. I bought it when it first came out, and had it for less than a year.
My second was a GT3-A bundle. It lost the ability to read disks... slowly. I tried every trick I could find on the internet. (Putting tape on the disks, adjusting the laser lens, and some other things.) It eventually got to the point where I would have to just simply eject, and then re-insert the disk over and over. Sometimes for hours. As long as I was patient, it eventually worked. It was such a problem, that once I got a game working... I didn't want to turn it off. I got San Andreas working, and left it running. I played it off and on, but left the PS2 on. Around the 3rd day, it died.
My third was given to me used. It had seen hard times. I did my laser lens adjustment, and it worked for a little while. I don't know what was wrong with it, but it failed within a month. (Luckily, the bios was still dumpable.)
So, yeah... I'm really happy that PCSX2 exists. Without it, the huge stack of games I purchased would be worthless. Plus, I never got to finish most of my games. I'm glad to FINALLY have the chance to do so!
