Here are all of the errors on the PlayStation 2.
Error: The startup will occur like normal, but after we zoom into the blue clouds, we see red clouds of mist or smoke spiraling around a moving red light. A glass cube zooms into view and starts to revolve around the light as a message appears saying "Please insert a PlayStation or PlayStation 2 format disc.". Another glass cube that is further away from us comes into view from behind the text, and also revolves around the light.
Variants:Â
Depending on the language, this error may appear in different languages.
An earlier variant appears on SCPH-1xxxx models, which has different centering for both lines and has different wording for the error message.
Additionally, on SCPH-xx005/06/07/08 consoles, the "PlayStation" and "PlayStation 2" texts are written in the same Helvetica font as the rest of the message rather than as their respective logos; the same applies to the SCPH-50009 where the whole message, again including the names of the consoles, is written in a Times New Roman-like serif font. This applies to all languages that said consoles respectively contain.
