Playstation 2 Motherboard

Is that even possible?
If it is, how?

There is no way. The configuration is entirely different(besides that the graphics and processing specs are way beyond a regular computer).
Although, you can make it a computer if you have the Linux kit for the PS2(you may need to but a PS2-compatible hard drive). This is usually more feasible with the older PS2's(they have a hard drive/expansion bay, compared to the new slim PS2's).

PAL Version. Enjoy.

Im not an experienced electrical engineer, but my Playstation 2's laser disk reader broke and I got the idea to make a computer out of my playstation. The first things first though... I need to remove any hardware parts on the chip that would restrict me from doing this.

The DVD drive is probably locked. Many different hard drives can be used in it, though, in addition to the offficial ones.

BEST ULTIMATE RAPID FIRE KIT!

im trying to upgrade my pc and i just want to change my motherboard, videocard and the memory modules.. i have a intel dual core 2.8 Ghz processor..
well i have a ps2 emulator that can play some ps2 games but for other games it has some glitches.. but it does work well for some games such as Castlevania, prince of persia and god of war..

There is no maximum system requirement. For a ps2 emulator, it has little to do with minimum system requirements because there is no working ps2 emulator just yet. The closest thing to a working emulator is pcsx2 0.9.4, a very well-developed emulator that can't play ps2 games. Not yet. So upgrade your pc to a Geforce 280 and a quad-core motherboard, put 16gb of memory on it, it won't make a difference. You might get some things to work, but far from everything.

As for the ps3, the minimum system requirement is to get a time machine, go at least 10 years into the future, and find a PC with advanced cpu technology. Probably one with processors clocked at over 4 ghz, which will be possible in a few years. But you'd have more chance for success if you can find a pc with multiple Cell Broadband Engines, or whatever the successor to the Cell is, because the Cell works more like a video processor than a cpu and even future cpu's won't be able to emulate it well.

Then when you return to the present, you will have to design and build your own emulator, because nobody has even begun working on one yet. Better to look for one while you're in the future as well, then bring it back to the present.

Besides being impossible, this would also be unethical because your advanced technology would undoubtedly leak out, and change the timeline that the future you visited was based on, so it would cease to exist. Then your mega-pc and emulator would cease to exist too.

Your current pc is a dual-core clocked at 2.8 ghz. The ps3 is an 8-core clocked at 3.2 ghz, and the cores are arranged in an advanced parallel structure that allows something called "stream" programming. There is one master PowerPC core, and 7 other "slave" cores called SPE's. There would actually be 8 spe's, but the ps3 doesn't use one of them in order to reduce manufacture defect rates. One SPE is used by the Core, and the other 6 are solely for running the games. That gives the ps3 6 3.2 ghz cores dedicated solely to running the game, and nothing else, including the operating system. Try to emulate that on a 4-core PC.

60V, 80C
Compatible Sony PS2 System (Not for Slim PS2 System)
Replaces the ribbon cable that spans from your power/reset button to your motherboard

My specs are Intel Celeron 1.8Ghz, Asus P5KPL-CM motherboard, Intel Chipset Family G33/G31 256Mb integrated graphic card, 2GB DDR2 Ram, Windows XP SP3, perhaps Vista later.

Yes you go need an emulator. but i dont think it works well on Vista.
Im not sure if you computer is good. But it looks fine to me. You must meet certain system requirements or else it will be hard to run. Trust me it tends to be on a lot of computers

I,m talking all parts from optical block to the motherboard. I'm trying to repair my 39001 and 30001r's are much easier to find than 39001's

Not all the parts will fit without some sort of modification.
The lens assembly is the same, the rest of the 39001's parts are smaller in size comparison . You can rig it too work, it just won't all fit inside perfectly when you close it all back up.
