VCDs on my PS2?

[JoJoMcQueen]

I'm going to a relative's for the summer and leaving my DVD player behind. They of course have a better computer then me, so I want to make VCDs while I'm there. The only problem with this is that the only thing I have to test them on is my brand new PS2. Will VCDs play on my PS2 or am I screwed?

the answer is no. it will not play vcd's even with a mod chip

Couldn't you play SVCDs that are in MPEG2 format?

[Faceman101]

nope on that too. nothing but fullscreen MPEG2 can be played on the PS2 and you need a modchip or know how to do the swap trick. as of yet this is the only way to get homebrewed video on the PS2 short of a DVD-R.
