Today's PS2 tutorial is a revisit to a topic that I've discussed in different ways in the past via separate tutorials. Today's tutorial is a recap of all the methods to prepare your usb flash drive or external hard drive to work with PS2 games that are over 4GB in size, as well as games that are less than 4GB.
The topics covered today include:
1) Formatting usb as fat32
2) Copy ISO games into DVD folder (less than 4GB)
3) How to split 4GB+ games using USB Util v2.2.
4) How to rename games and get cover art using OPL Manager V21.6
Remember, you need FMCB, Fortuna Project, or a modchip to launch OPL (Open PS2 Loader). If you have no idea what I am talking about, please see other introductory tutorials via the PS2 modding playlist to get up to speed.
Enjoy!

Today's tutorial is a recap of many other older tutorials about PS2 USB games and putting all the latest info into one consolidated video. I hope this helps new PS2 gamers and get up to speed quickly to playing their favorite games. Enjoy! Note: If you are in need of FMCB or Fortuna Project memory card, send me an email at vstpower at gmail dot com. I have limited inventory for sale if interested.

I revisited your videos. My external drive stopped from spinning after a year. All of my 320gig games perished inside the 10 years old 2.5 HD. I have to makeover again from the scratch. So I tried this method for my SCPH-90004 slim and it worked perfectly for USB games. One thing I noticed from this setup for 90004, If I use memory card with magic gate (original), it will not allow me to use memory card slot 1 which prevented me from booting fortuna at slot 1. So I used my class A 256MB memory card, load fortuna, system files and it worked perfectly because all of my saved game are stored there. For now I am using 16G USB drive for iso games and looking for a new game proof usb hard disk. Thank you for this guide.

So, I have used USButil 2.2 split up my ISO files. Now I can see the game is visible and running. But stuck after 1 or 2 screens loading. It is just keep on loading. Plz advice what mistake I did. Is there any specific ISO file should be downloaded? Plz help.

Using opl manger v21.7 it renames the games properly on the usb correct? You have latest OPL and usb is either set to auto or manual. It should display a list of games assuming the usb is fat32 formatted with active and primary partition. Some usbs (rare) don't want to be read by the PS2. To confirm this, see if you can navigate the mass drive under ulaunchelf. If you can, then we know it is possible to get usb games to work.

Seems like I'm not the only one getting errors/glitches on OPL on my PS2. Worse is, I cannot even discuss it because they think I'm bot and won't let me even visit the site. I even sent an email, saying that it was a mistake. Btw, anyone else having glitches in Prince of Persia: Warrior Within- When you have to dismiss a message, eg. _"You got the Spidey Sword. Press _*_X_*_ to continue."_ ,an animation is supposed to play along with a sound effect, conveying dismissal of the on-screen message from the player, both of which are absent in a glitchy way. I'm playing with an external HDD plugged into the USB port. I even changed ports. Anything I can do from my side, like in the settings of OPL? I'm very much comfortable in tweaking any settings.

Defrag, or turn off fragmentation check. Can also check opl compatibility lists too

How do you know a game is a dvd or cd.........and what website did u use to download the games?

@ProjectPhoenixMedia Жыл бұрын

Look at ps2 wiki on wikipedia for dvd and cd based games. Most games are DVDs especially if larger than 700mb. Games use google to find what you need I guess, or rip your own discs

pls explain how to copy and run opl without FMCB - by just holding R1 while the ps2 turns on (with OPL is on the MC) and games loaded on a usb drive.

@ProjectPhoenixMedia 3 жыл бұрын

In the FMCB you can setup shortcuts to certain programs so when PS2 boots up you hold down a button and it boots straight into OPL.

Hey can you please help me?I recently downloaded the current opl and it pretty much broke my ps2,it disc read errors my disc based games and when the games do work I found I have to change the region and I can't get swap magic to work again for some reason so what opl do you suggest I use?I might get give up on ps2 modding If it's this bad

@ProjectPhoenixMedia 4 жыл бұрын

Get latest opl daily build. OPL doesn't break lasers or cause disc read errors, not sure what you got going on.

In short OPL is OpenPS2Loader. It is a home-brew app and once you figure out how you are going to launch it, many ps2 gamers including myself use it to play ps2 games stored on hard drive, usb, or through the network via smb. Point is, no more discs, no more worries about laser degradation, its a sick solution.

Hello, hope you can help me. I updated the OPL version on my Ps2 and now some games wont boot, example Rule of Rose, used to work fine before the udpate but now it get stuck after the PS2 Logo. Same iso, 8gb Kingston usb, nothing has changed except the OPL version, any ideas ? i dont remember what version i had before the update :c

@ProjectPhoenixMedia 4 жыл бұрын

Yea try 0.9.3 start, or maybe 0.9.2, or maybe 0.8 or 0.7. That's the good and bad of so many OPL versions, some work well and some break games when it used to work fine.

@ScarToon-Network 3 жыл бұрын

so you don't have to boot load anything to the ps2? it should run these stock?

@ProjectPhoenixMedia 3 жыл бұрын

It depends on your method. For me, I have what is called FMCB memory card, and after that boots, I go into the OPL program and then I can load the games from USB. Other people, they may use something called FreeDVDBoot which is a boot disc that the ps2 may or may not read. If it can read it, then they can launch the OPL program manually from usb and play the usb games. If it is a fat ps2, and you have an internal hard drive, there are videos that show you how to install what is called FHDB...once that is booted, then you can navigate to OPL and play your games. Others use a modchip and play burnt discs, or they load a Ulaunchelf file manager disc, and then load OPL to play said games. There are many different ways to get to the same end result, but I agree the difficult part is figuring out which way you want to go. See the ps2 playlist to see more ps2 videos to get a better idea of different methods out there.
