The PlayStation 2 is a console created by Sony.

The system featured many games 3D titles, a select few that heavily featured sprites.

Ripping Tools

The PlayStation 2 uses DVD-based technology, meaning that all of the data found within a game can be read using a standard ISO viewer (with only a few exceptions), or by inserting the disk into your computer and browsing it. As such, the console has a vast number of different formats that are used that require their own dedicated tools to view. Some common formats can be seen below.

Common File Formats

TIM2

For more details on this file format, please visit the TIM2 page.

The .TIM2 file format is a common format for both sprites and textures.

Suggested Emulators

PCSX2

PCSX2 is the only fully functional PlayStation 2 emulator, and as such is the only one that can be recommended. It requires a relatively strong system, and is not always 100% compatible with every game.
