I have a Playstation 2 game in NTSC U / C format with a scratch.
The scratch is borderline but I don't have a Playstation 2 console in NTSC
Format.
The following hardware is available to me.
Ps2 PAL
PS3
PS4
Linux Mint 19.3
Windows 7 Ultimate
Can I somehow determine whether the game is definitely junk or whether it should run in a suitable console?
I don't think you can check the functionality with your hardware.
