You don't see quality tv kabinets like that anymore.

Wow, you must have been rich in the 00s to have a Trinitron.
Just for reference, in 2004 Trinitrons were $800- $2000 USD depending on size, in today's money that's $1300- $3500 USD.
I really wish someone could make a racing game akin to NFS II. The track design is incredible because they were able to completely skip all realism. Nothing ever since has achieved quite the same. Okay, Mario Kart and similar come kind of close, but what I really liked about NFS II was the combination of kind of serious cars, and absolutely exaggerated scenery.
I thought you had a stack of those blue plastic crates mushrooms get delivered to kitchens in.
Nope. It's a calender
Easily one of the best arcade racers ever created. It's a shame that the remake sucked so hard.
It wasn't even a remake. It was a Burnout game under Most Wanted disguise. The worst NFS game ever made.

Oh nice! I’ve tried to play my PS2 slim yesterday, but it would read half of the discs I’ve tried. I think the Laser is on its way out. 🙁
That's quite bad, on mine the second controller port doesn't work. Fortunately the drive works fine.
Maybe you could try FreeMcBoot
Now that you said it I think I got a FreeMcBoot memory card somewhere. Hmm, now I need to set up a smb1 server again.
I just run most of the games from a USB stick. I would go with an HDD, I have dozens of ~250 GB laying around, but I don't have the network/HDD expansion, YET
I have a PS2 slim without the HDD bay and I've read that the USB 1.1 is slower than the 10 Mbit/s network connection. A PS2 fat with HDD bay would really be the best option.
If you have a Linux PC you can use Lutris and even install NFS MW directly from Lutris. I use it on my steam deck. Same for NFS U2 and Carbon
Dont fret!!
First , put a video DVD in. This will actually recalibrate the laser and then your DVD games will play. Ive done it.
If that doesn't work, adjust the laser power potentiometer. Its really not hard.
If that fails, you can stream games off your desktop or nas via Ethernet !! Its a bit involved but not bad.
Urgh, my first NFS was High Stakes. That song, Callista has been living rent free in my head since highschool.
McLaren F1 GTR was my ride. My idiot younger brother swore by the Mercedes CLK GTR.
Most Wanted 2005 is an all-timer.
I had that same TV. The trinitron was the fancy one of that size. I then upgraded to the xbr 32 trinitron HD model later. I had a aiwa surround sound system in my fists apartment, the TV was in an entertainment cabinet someone threw out and my speakers were on boxes. We would tune our cars and play grad turismo nonstop. I had the 3000gt, my buddy had the skyline and would beat me until I switched. Everyone would be laid out like seals when I woke up.
I remember playing burnout 3 on my 360 while blasting the RHCP album I had ripped to the same console. those were the days
