From a software point of view, nothing should happen. When I worked for SONY Psygnosis (developers of the WipEout series) we did something called a 'Soak test'.

Basically you leave a game running for at least 24 hours. You also do it paused. This is to make sure that the game is robust enough. They still do these tests now for PS2 games - so therefore PS2 hardware must be able to handle it.

BUT...

I simply would not recommend leaving a PS2 on that long, just in case you do damage it. Besides not understanding why you would leave a game paused for 2 days, I wouldn't like to take the risk.

My advice? Don't do it man! :D

I thought you could pause it forever
But why not just save the game ?? :confused:

[COLOR=sky blue]You'd think it would be alright. I wouldn't leave it on like that, but you could if you wanted to.[/COLOR]

Maybe it's a way of cheating out of buying a new memory card for the PS2.

ps1 doesnt have a fan so it would most like to break ps2 would probably be okay

Just don't do it.Just save it.

{IMPORTANT}
The ps2 can and will overheat if paused and left on for 2 days.
But for 2 hours, I wouldn't do it.

nanjij Feb 13th, 2002 02:19 AM

im not saying i do but i ment the ps1 i think would overheat before ps2

BowevelJoe Feb 18th, 2002 07:51 AM

haha id just buy a memory card to solve the whole problem Lol....i think id rather pay $25 for a mem card than $300 for another PS2 lol...

I use pause alot and has it on for long peroids of times and it never hurt my ps2

Macceh^ Mar 25th, 2002 06:29 AM

the fan should make it safe and yeh i agrea the psone should burn out alot quicker and it does a couople of my mats played for long periods of times and the psone just started to smoke.

The ps2 with a fan should be able to handle it but perhaps not for 2 days an hour or two should be fine.
