Hi there, I've made a video on the PS2's little-used system link feature:





Wish Dreamcast linking for F355 was this easy. :(

Very educational. I never knew what the FireWire post was intended to be used for on the PS2, system link certainly never crossed my mind.

Didn't the PS2 version of F355 also offer an system link option? I do remember the SEGA AGES 2500 release of Virtua Racing offered an 8-player system link option! Anyway, nice video! Really like the linking options on old videogame consoles, too bad it wasn't used that often though :'(

Thanks for watching guys! I've added a small follow-on video for Age Of Empires II
i-link.

Sorry Wombat, Ferarri F355 Challenge on PS2 has no system link capability.

The ultimate system link console is probably the original XBOX. This is because the consoles and its games are dirt cheap, plus hard drive modding is very easy (so you only need one copy of the game).
