The PlayStation 2 (PS2) was one of the most revolutionary gaming consoles ever made, and it also produced some of the hardest games ever. Here are the best cheat codes for the PS2 to help you crack those difficult games.

Gran Turismo 3: A-spec

Race the oval tracks at the start of the game and you will get a lot of money. To get the F090/s (Indy Car) just use the Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak at the Super Speedway. Just make sure you don’t pit. To get $350,000, compete in the Championship in Amateur league. After winning the first four races, save the game and skip the final race. Get the $20,000 and you will get to choose any car. You might get to choose the Gillet Vertigo Race Car. If not, reload the saved game and try the fourth race again until you get that car. Sell it for $300,000.

Final Fantasy X

After you get the Airship and are aboard, use the command “input” and type the following in caps: GODHAND to get Rikku’s Legendary Weapon, MURASAME to get Auron’s Weapon Murasame and VICTORIOUS to get Rikku’s armor that will nullify 3 elemental attacks.

At the Airship, speak to Cid and choose option 2 in the Map menu. Here are the secret areas and their coordinates: Omega Ruins (X:69-75 Y:33-38), Battle Site (X:39-47 Y:56-60), Mi’hen Ruins (X:33-36 Y:55-60), Besaid Falls (\X:29-32 Y:73-76) and Sanubia Sands   (X:12-16 Y:41-45) and Baaj Temple (X:11-16 Y:57-63). For some quick Gil just head over to Omega Ruins and beat a Mimic.

If you are wondering how television works, it’s like this: the TV generates numerous small dots on the screen which to you appears as a whole image. Old TVs used cathode-ray tubes to create these images and they relied on an analog signal. But technology has improved and TVs now use LCD (liquid crystal display), plasma and signals. Unlike cathode-ray tubes, LCDs and plasma rely on pixels than a vacuum tube, with vastly superior results.

Your Brain, Eyes and the TV

The majority of TVs work the same way. Pixels, small dotted lights, keep flashing based on a particular pattern as determined by the video signal. Your eyes will receive this pattern and transmit it to your brain which then recognizes the image. The patterns on a TV are refreshed hundreds if not thousands of times every second, which creates the illusion that the images you see are moving.

Plasma TVs

Plasma TV screens are composed of small cells filled with xenon and neon gases. Every cell is joined to an electrode that stimulates the gases in the cell when fired. These gases shoot charged particles which interact with phosphors used to coat the glass within every cell. These phosphors will be lit and create the image you see on the TV screen, and that is how television works with a plasma screen.

The more cells there are on the screen, the more pixels will appear and the clearer the image will be. Because of the way it is designed, plasma TVs are able to render deep blacks very effectively. Refresh rates are very high as is the contrast. You also won’t see any of the blurring that comes with some other TVs. Plasma TVs are available in a number of sizes, including 55 inches and over.

LCD Screens

LCD based TVs also use cells to produce the images but instead of stimulating gases like plasma, LCD cells have green, red and blue filters. These filters come with a layer of liquid crystals which in turn is placed between two glass components. The cells will be linked to a thin film transistors (TFT) or electrodes. Whatever the case, the cells will be triggered to produce the image.

These screens have a backlight so the image you see is bright. LCD TVs are characterized by their thinness and lightness. The majority have light-emitting diodes (LEDs) instead of cold-cathode fluorescent lamp for the lighting. Some people prefer plasma over LCD, while others like LCD better. The choice is really up you, so you need to research the product first, because the features will vary depending on the manufacturer.

3D TV

3D TV is an emerging technology that allows you to experience three-dimensional video games, movies and TV programs. While it does hold a lot of promise, the concept has not yet really taken off for many reasons. One of them is that many consumers find the price too high, and there is still little content available. You also need to wear 3D glasses, which some people find uncomfortable. So far, 3D movies have been making better inroads than 3D TV, although that can change in the future.

Knowing how television works will help you better appreciate their features. Today’s sets still rely on the same principles, but the images they produce are far crisper and more compact, which is why you see fuller, more vivid images.
