Beat me to it

Edit: @BranBucket beat me to the punch by like 8 hours

If it has a shitton of ports in the front, USB and SD card and all sorts of stuff, there’s a good chance. If it only has 2 USB ports, probably not.

Unfortunately not all the fats could run PS2 games, only the CECHAxx and CECHBxx (NTSC) had the hardware to run PS2 games. The early PAL models (CECHCxx and CECHExx) had software emulation apparently, dunno if it was any good. I hunted down a fat model specifically because I wanted the backwards compatibility, can’t remember which model I ended up buying, but it was not a backwards compatible one. Very disappointed at the time, but I was still sad when it died.

Also the possiblity to dualboot Linux was patched out pretty quickly if I remember correctly, people were pretty peeved about it.

I’m one of those 4 people on MX it seems.

I couldn’t get Mint on an older laptop, and tried MX for some reason. It worked, and I liked it enough that after semi-borking my Mint install on my desktop, I tried it and honestly I’ve been enjoying it.

Actually that’s not strange, Marle was kinda sorta based on Primm. When development for Chrono Trigger began, Akira Toriyama was asked to make characters, and he was told he could use the SoM characters as inspiration or something along those lines, and he made Chrono and Marle basically as a DTIYS of Randy and Primm.
