Hi Fellow Daniweb Members,

It may sound abit insane, but is it possible to upgrade a Playstation 2 graphics card to maybe a 512MB Nvedia 9800 GTX HD?

But even if you can, how can you disable the integrated graphics card? does the playstation have a BIOS like computers? and does the graphics need power supplied to it?

It would be grateful if you could tell me if this is possible?

Regards,

~ShahBoii

It is theoretically possible, but you would need to know a lot about electronics and you would need to know how to re-write the PS2's operating system in order for it to work. You would also need all the games written differently to incorporate the new hardware.

Thanks for the reply but would you have to re-write the operating system from the BIOS? I mean, How will I access it?

I am no PS2 expert, I am an old Xbox man, but I would assume you would need use of an EPROM programmer for something like that.
I think the PS2's software may well be stored on a PROM.
