*Depending on how much data you have on a PS2 Memory Card, there will be white blocks all over the screen when you turn on the PS2. This only happens if a Memory Card and/or Memory Cards with saved data is inserted into the Memory Card slots.

The screen will be empty if there is no Memory Card inserted. | *Depending on how much data you have on a PS2 Memory Card, there will be white blocks all over the screen when you turn on the PS2.

'''Audio Trivia:''' Similarly to the 1st logo, the music is generated from a sequence of different PCM audio files from the BIOS software (with about 17 included), all played in different pitches and playback speeds. The other sounds available are used for the RSoD screen, the PS2 logo, and the menu. | '''Audio Trivia:''' Similarly to the 1st logo, the music is generated from a sequence of different PCM audio files from the BIOS software (with about 17 included), all played in different pitches and playback speeds.
