I don't have a PS4 myself, but after a quick Google search, it seems it uses a figure 8 (IEC type C7/C8) connector. If that is correct, then it should be compatible with the phat PS2 as well. Besides, the power conversion happens inside the PS2 itself, so as long as the connector fits, and is meant to be plugged in a wall outlet, there shouldn't be an issue in terms of electrical compatibility

jus a figure 8 connector init mate

Achter Kabel as we say in German.

PS4's cable should work, but ideally you would need an IEC-C7P

as long as the voltage and polarity are good yeah itll work, I have to buy random rounded and round+squared plugs all the time because i forget them somewhere or take from the ps4 to goto something else. They are used for a ton of devices lol

Polarity isn't something we need to worry about as it is AC and not DC

Ah yes perfection btw does it actually work

yes

even though it work it is not a good idea, that is a live circuit there are voltage going through those wires, he is fuck if he touch it.

Yeah, that's pretty terrible. As an electrical engineer, this hurts my eyes. Remember, this isn't something low like 5V or 12V DC, this is (likely) 230V AC or something close to that. Although you probably won't die if you touch it while powered on, it won't be pleasant. And the fire hazard...

Meh, all modern houses have breakers it should be good.

ELCB might help when one touches this... this... let's say: Less than ideal solution.
Classic circuit breaker will most likely not cut off the electricity when touching this with the hand (unless the wires or the screws touch each other directly).

Although most of the time an electric shock from briefly touching something with normal supply voltage leads to no real harm, it is still not a pleasant feeling and surely not completely non-hazardous. I can tell you from own experience that 230V AC can be really, really painful under the right (or better wrong) circumstances. This is not funny and electric energy is not a toy!

An attitude like "House has breakers so I can play with electricity!" or "The car has electronic stability control so I can drive like a maniac!" or -- less dangerous -- "I have anti-malware, so I can click on anything, open all attachments and run random programs." works -- until is suddenly doesn't.

Something like this strange workaround for a missing $1 cable should not be considered.

That doesn't stop you from getting shock when touching live circuit, you do know it is 230v from where you live, plus the cable the ps2 used is not grounded.

Meh I only have a minor heart condition, I'll live to tell the tale.
