PS2 Online Gaming

I might be able to make it on that date, but I'm not sure. I'm just wondering why this is in the LAN Tunneling subforum. Are you doing this for the sake of testing out the SOCOM games' LAN modes? If so, which tunneling program do you plan on using?

If what I heard is true, one must set up the PS2 as a DMZ host in order to play the game online, but I can't verify that claim as I do not own the PS2 version of this game.

Thank you very much for posting that link, Dominator94-. Say, did I see you discussing online Playstation 2 games at the official PSN forum a few months ago?

The hosts file on a Windows PC is only used to resolve queries made by that same PC. Therefore, the Playstation 2 would have no way of finding the information that yo...

Unfortunately, XIII's master server got taken offline, so you won't be able to play that game online!

...does that mean that although bf2 has a native aspect ratio of 4:3 if one a widescreen tv it will be emulated/stretched to 16:9? That all depends on what model your widescreen TV is, and how its set up. Some TV sets will always stretch 4:3 signals, in order to use all of the space on the screen. ...

I think it is indeed the end of games for PS2. Amazon's page for Madden NFL 2013 doesn't have a link for a Playstation 2 version, and Madden is the most mainstream videogame series that ever graced the PS2. I think that MLB 2K12 will remain the last [official] game to get released for the PS2.
