    While this question appears to be specifically about the PlayStation (and therefore on topic), to me it looks more like you're asking how a computer differentiates between CDs and DVDs, as well as between Audio CDs and Application CDs, and Video DVDs and Application DVDs, which is not gaming-specific and therefore would be off topic here.

  • Why did you tag this with [ps4] when your question is only about the PS2? What about the PS4 would you like to know? Please edit your question accordingly.

  • I believe you are looking at the very end statement and not the whole reading. Simply put, I’m talking about a mod for the ps4 that would allow it to read PlayStation 1 and 2 discs. The console reads CDs and DVDs, but just doesn’t have support to run them without say, a software. The connection to PCs is just in how those are able to play PS1/2 game discs with an emulator, but overall it’s about the PS2. You’re failing to see that it’s not the PC I’m asking about, it’s the PS2 I’m asking about. How does the PLAYSTATION 2 read its own games?
