"Stupid question - Is there a way to play VCDs on a PS2?"

I got a few that I've done myself and I want to know if there is a way to play them on my PS2 as I don't want to watch them on the dvd player downstairs. Something tells me that it's not possible but it's worth asking. Thanks to anyone that bothers to reply with a sensible answer.

Mine won't - have tried a few, too.

No, doesnt work.

You can play DVD-Rs though, and you dont need your PS2 chipped to do that.

I tryed playing the VCDs on my ps2 yesterday and it didn't work :(
I suggest just using a DVD player, get one for your room even.

I've tried this before when a mate lent me a couple of VCD films, admittedly my PS2 isn't chipped but it never worked.

Whether chipping it would make a difference I don't know. Ask Hercules as he's got his chipped [shock horror :-) ] and I know he's got a few VCDs.

Mabye a chipped PS2 or Xbox could manage it. Xbox is more likely to because of the HD for VCD reading software..

:)

can't help anyway only time i tried making a vcd the thing wouldn't fit on the disc so i just left it in its .avi format and put it on a cd that way

I'm fairly sure the answer is no though although i may be proved wrong

Nope, haven't had chance yet. Just a few select things that I wish to watch. I prefere the confort of my bed to the couch. Plus there is one mean spider downstairs at the moment.
