PS2 Debug Unit TEST

[That PS2 Guy]

I have a ps2 test unit and was wondering how much it was worth and the best place to sell it :help:

[handofg0d]

Well it depends on what unit you have.

i'd say no less than $200 no matter what model you have.

[ProgrammingAce]

Well it depends on what unit you have.

i'd say no less than $200 no matter what model you have.

I've picked 'em up on ebay for less then $80... it REALLY depends on what model it is. The DTL-H10000 is virtually worthless.

DTL-H3000X - There are 2 kinds of these, one works with the hard drive, one doesn't. The only way to tell the difference is by trying it out.

Prices have been dropping like a stone over the last year, I've seen a number of them sell at around $150. But like handofg0d said, it all depends on the model.

[XxHennersXx]

I'd like to buy one. :) if you have one for sale, PM me and we'll work out a deal..

[GRFC2007]

Is anyone still interested in buying one of these test ps2's because i currently have a DTL-H30002 & im looking to sell it, so if anyone is still interested then could they please PM & we'll try & sort something out.

Thanks

[XxHennersXx]

I sent you a PM

[The 1 2 P]

Does anyone else have these for sale?

[fahlim003]

I suppose I'd be interested in one of these systems too, although I haven't looked for any lately.

[ProgrammingAce]

What model do you want, and what are you willing to pay?

[The 1 2 P]

For me the model doesn't really matter, as long as it says "Test" on it and works well. I have a few kiosk demos I want to play that can't be played on the regular PS2. I'm not really trying to spend more than $50 shipped at the most. However, if they are going for way more than that I might have to reconsider.

[ProgrammingAce]

Most TEST ps2 have been driven hard and put away wet... they tend to be less reliable then the comparable retail model.

Kiosk discs are retail. They should work in a normal PS2. A TEST isn't anything like a modded PS2, it won't play burned discs unless they've been signed with the gold master boot code.

I have a feeling TEST ps2 are going to level out at $100-150 for the next few years, just like debug PS1 have stayed at $50.

[Mark30001]

There are currently two (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260195806972) of them (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220187306967) on eBay, though one of them is a debug unit but doesn't have 'TEST' written on it.

[fuqi]

Just bought the one from the first link. (the one without TEST on the top)
The seller told me :

It's Region Free
Plays all CD-r
Plays all DVD-r patched as master disc
Does not play Dvd-Video

Let me know if it works as well as he said it would. I have some DVD-r demos that won't play on my PS2.

You're right Ace, I worded that wrong. They aren't kiosk demos--they are trade show demos. Not the trade show demos that come in the white sleeves and say trade show demo on the front. These are from actually trade shows like E3. One is from E3 and one is from a Gamer's Day show(not sure if thats an actual "trade" show though). Both are on a DVD-R purple bottom disc. But the front of each disc is a picture, just like normal game disc. For some reason this site still doesn't let me upload pictures when I click on the insert image link. But if anyone wants pictures of these disc--send me your email address and I'll forward them to you.

I believe I sold you the Gamer's Day Demo.
(as far as a trade show.. dunno myself either.. all the information I could get on it is that it's a pre-party to E3(?)
Me and my friend played it on a PS2 with HDD loader. It worked. Maybe you should try those with that?

Just a Suggestion. But, if you want to go with the test. Those should work with it too.
Or so I hear.

That's normal. One point of clarification, when he says it plays CD-R, he means PS1 discs. PS2 CD-Rom games still need to be master patched.

fuqi:
The only differences between the standard TEST units and the ones with the "S" at the end of the model number are:

- Don't say "TEST" on the case
- You can't attach a debugger to a running application

Neither of which are a big deal to 99.999% of the population. If you're not writing code, you won't care about debugging processes.

Yup, this is the demo you sold me. But I have other demos like this too but I have never been able to play them. So thats why I wanted a test system.

[fuqi]

It plays all i tested so far.
network access disc, elfs from cd (remastered and patched), ps1 retail/cd-r , ps2 retail / cd-r / dvd-+r.

Cool. Thanks for the help.

[The 1 2 P]

I still want to find one of these, at a reasonable price.

No luck so far. These still go for $130 and up.

[ProgrammingAce]

For what you're getting, that's quite a reasonable price.

[GRFC2007]

Im still looking to sell my Test ps2 model DTL-H30002 if anyones still interested?

[DreamTR]

I'm interested.`What is the price ?

[The 1 2 P]

I'm obviously interested, which is why I reopened this thread. How much do you want for it and what condition is it in?

[GRFC2007]

Hi, thanks for your interest..just make me an offer & i'll think about it.

[GRFC2007]

Hi, im curently unsure of how much i want for it but like DreamTR just make me an offer & i'll have a think..

its in good condition but a few small scratches on the bottom, the guarantee seal is still on it & has nothing missing. It also has the network adapter attached to the back.

[ProgrammingAce]

Make sure you know what you're doing before you buy a PAL unit to run in the US. Unless the model number ends in a "U" you're going to need a step up converter for power.

You're probably going to want to use a TV that handles a PAL signal, because all of the menus are going to be messed up on NTSC. Any disc that's bymodal (supports both NTSC and PAL) will default to PAL and you'll have to reburn it with a modified sys file. It's not a huge deal, but it becomes a pain in the ass for some discs.

[The 1 2 P]

What region is your model from GRFC2007? Is it a US, Japanese or PAL model?

[ProgrammingAce]

Im still looking to sell my Test ps2 model DTL-H30002 if anyones still interested?

Since the model number ends in a 2, then it's a PAL unit. Hence my warning.

Also, this model will most likely not support the official hard drive.

The model number tells you everything you need to know. It's a PAL unit that takes 220V power, supports remote debugging, has a firewire port, and (you can safely assume) doesn't support a hard drive in an official capacity.

Thats good to know. Thanks for the info.

[Buyatari]

Whats the big deal about harddrive support?

How many games even use it?

[OldSchoolGamer]

Whats the big deal about harddrive support?

Get HD loader and a flip top lid and ALL games support it, in that you can load
all retail games to hard drive for quick selection as well as slightly faster loading times.................

Only two to my knowledge: Syphon Filter: Omega Strain and Final Fantasy IX. Does anyone else know of any other HDD supported PS2 games?

[ProgrammingAce]

Resident evil something or other uses it, though i'd have to look up which one specifically.

[ProgrammingAce]

Please don't put a flip top or a mod chip in a debug system or i'll have to hurt you.

[PapaStu]

At least RE: Outbreak 1 supports the HDD. Outbreak 2 might as well.

[DreamTR]

NFL2K series use it too

[The 1 2 P]

I forgot about those. Too bad they sucked.

Hello, I just happen to have one of these units that I'm going to advertise somewhere to sell in the next few days.

Thanks!
:king:

[The 1 2 P]

Instead of advertising it, just give it to...I mean, sell it to me:)

[mathieulh]

I am intersted in purchasing any DTL-3000x (or newer) models. (no "s" models though ) give me your price and depending on the model, the working state etc etc I may buy it. I rather have it with a PAL psu though but I don't mind that much.

I think GRFC2007 has a PAL version.

[mathieulh]

yes, I am still awaiting for his reply as we speak. Well it is not like I am in urgent need of it so I can wait a bit xD

[The 1 2 P]

I feel you. I'm still waiting for the other dude to reply to my PM's.

[The 1 2 P]

I guess we'll all have to wait some more until somebody else has one of these to sell.

[The 1 2 P]

Waiting sucks.

Is this still for sell? If so I willing to buy one. I've been looking for one.

[The 1 2 P]

I don't think it is. The dude that posted that hasn't uttered a word ever since...and that was 3 weeks ago.

[TOE-NEE]

That figures. I can't catch a break these days.

[The 1 2 P]

You and me both. I have a few demos I've been dying to play that are only playable on a developer system. And then theres my import games too.

[ProgrammingAce]

Anything that will play on a TEST plays easier on a modded retail... Don't even think about trying to get homebrew to run on a TEST unless you're prepared to setup the complete SDK, compile and burn the disc using Sony's official gimped software. You'll need a special burner too...

[The 1 2 P]

I don't do modded systems...period. Or drink, smoke or do drugs. Call me an anti-hero.

[TOE-NEE]

Forget modded systems, I want the real deal.

[The 1 2 P]

Exactly.

[TOE-NEE]

Now if we could just find them.

[ProgrammingAce]

Well, if you want the real deal, then you want this:

http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q265/Parris1972/Sony%20PS/Sony%20Playstation%202%20TOOL/IMG_4201.jpg

Otherwise i'm afraid you're going to be disapointed with what you get from a TEST. Just make sure you know the capabilities of the system you're buying and you'll be alright.

[The 1 2 P]

Is that a Test system with a Tool bundle or is it just a debugging system without the word Test on it?

[ProgrammingAce]

Neither, it's called a TOOL. It's about 3 feet tall and weighs 40 pounds. It's a PC with a built in PS2. It's the actual PS2 development box. The TESTs are just debugging stations used for playing burns.

[TOE-NEE]

Yup, I know about the TOOL's as well. The only problem is that it's probably easier to track down a TEST console compared to the TOOL console

Collecting is all about patience. Be patient if you want one at a decent price.

If you want one right now and don't care about the price then offer more money than going rate and I bet you will find one very quickly.

[The 1 2 P]

How much do you sell your PS2 Test for Buyatari?

[phiberoptik]

if anybody wants to sell me their new/mint ps2 test/ps2 development system I'm willing to pay $500-$1000, pm me if you are the real deal

[TOE-NEE]

You can find them for cheaper than that.
