Playing a game
Play games via the built-in PlayStation(R)2.
You can play PlayStation(R)2 and PlayStation(R) format software on the built-in PlayStation(R)2.
Starting a game
Insert a disc to start playback.
- To end a game, press the PlayStation 2 POWER ON button after saving game data, and then remove the disc.
Using the Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK(R)2)
The Analog Controller (DUALSHOCK(R)2) is equipped with pressure-sensitive buttons and sticks. This enables you to control game action with enhanced precision based on the force with which buttons are pressed or the angle at which the analog stick is tilted. It is also a force feedback controller with a vibration function.
- Depending on the game, you may need to set the controller to either digital or analogue mode. Press the ANALOG mode button of the controller to switch to the analogue mode. To return to digital mode, press the ANALOG mode button again. Some games make this adjustment automatically.
