10 times video games hackers got too creative
video description
Back when blockbuster had a thing where a $12 monthly fee you could come and switch games at will. I think you could have like 2or3 at a time. I had the largest library of FPS & Racing Games. P2P File sharing networks were pretty new so I got stuff off of there. In any event the said PS2 hack mentioned here is not 20years in the making. I had one back in 2001-02. Unless the ps2 released in 1980. It took 20 years to make such a hack.

I used to have a thing called a swap disc for the ps2 I didn-t use it for bootleg games but was able to play ntsc games and DVDs on my pal ps2 slim console basically the same thing as the pen in the ps1 it involves the lid reset switches to be permanently pressed like the lid was closed all the time and if opened the disc would keep playing not knowing the lid was open and a disc the console thought was legit to bypass the copyright and zone read once the disc was read it would stop the disc and you could remove it and place a bootleg or other region disc disc in and a option on the screen to start the new disc spinning so it could then read the data from the new disc without the copyright and zone data being read from that disc

Well i got my PS2 in 2006 i think? And i had this hacking DVD from the start. It somehow booted PS2 down, forced it to load EVERYTHING you fed it with.... Daaamn this thing was overused.. I had to let it polish like 10 times and it was sooo thin in the end that i almost feared to touch it :D But man wasnt i hated for that? As every my friend had to buy their games, i just borrowed them, burned on my PC and they worked just fine.
There was also some adjustment inside that PS2 allowing this to work (didnt work for my friends and also, worked only on SLIM as you could have open it without rebooting back to normal).
You had to use this DVD with every start/change of game.

Edit: I made this comment before finishing the video hahaha.
I remember playing pirated games I got off my friend on the ps2 slim. It wouldn't play it if you just stuck the disk in. What you had to do was stick a piece of wood or something into where the clip goes to latch the top closed to block the sensor to tell if the tops open, then put a regular disk in and load it up, and, I think, just after the ps2 logo goes away, you pull out the disk you had in and replace it with the pirated game. It always took a few times to get the timing right, but was cool as hell.

Holy HELL I forgot all ABOUT the PSX Ballpoint Pen -trick-
Wow!!! Thank you! I bought my PlayStation, for myself, with my Christmas & Birthday money (my birthday is a week & a half after Christmas), in January 1997. I had just turned 15-years old. That-s its own Story, in-&-of-itself.
Well, not long after I bought mine, we all heard about the ballpoint pen trick. I had seen one done, but I never did it myself.
I just somehow FORGOT--allllll ABOUT that!!! Gah! THANK you, for that! Takes me back, man! Wow! Where has time GONE??? Lol!

How buffer overflow exploits work:
Lets say you have data that is assumed to be no longer than a certain length, so the program only allocates that much memory space. If the actual data writes more than the expected amount, it can begin overwriting other memory directly next to that memory. If crafted correctly, it can overwrite future code with new code this way. This is called 'arbitrary code execution' via a 'buffer overflow exploit'.

for the PS1/PS2 slimline, I used paperclips and a Code Breaker disc. The Code Breaker would allow you to stop the disc from spinning safely (without potentially harming the motor). I had to do this to play a couple of my games because the original discs were to scratched for the PlayStation to read (but ISO Buster could successfully extract it to make a new disc).

There was an exploit on Xbox 360 where you could open the Xbox and then the disk drive, you download a game to your Xbox and then as soon as the game starts spinning you pull out the disk and put in the dvd and it would read the game on the dvd, that-s why hackers were all over CoD WaW. It was fun as hell.
