I love the different ways that you can play your old PS2. It brings life back into our retro system. Thanks, Wicked.

Its a shame the slim ps2s didnt have a normal way to connect hard drives like the phat models because the slims came with a higher cpu clock speed so the games just generally ran better on them. Ive seen whats come of the phat ps2s I cant imagine how much more the slims could do if given the proper workarounds

Over Network playing or with MX4SIO seems to be the faster solution, but nevertheless this is an option 👍

@rockstopsthetraffic Жыл бұрын

I've been trying every method for different usecases... Since I got two PS2s for LAN play in the same room, I didn't want to do a Samba share, and I couldn't use a SATA HDD with the fake network adapter, at least for LAN (I could still keep a huge library of single-player games there, though). I ended up getting two memory card SD card mods, MX4SIO, and hopefully I put the LAN games on that, with regular network adapters.

@BigDom1002 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, the big problem with anything USB-related on the PS2 is the fact that it uses USB 1.1 which is too slow to stream FMVs. Right now the best way to play on original hardware is an internal HDD on the fat models, the new MX4SIO way is also really good but as of yet still has a lot of incompatible games. Also an awesome mod if you have a 7000x specifically not a 7500x or 7700x you can solder in an IDE plug and connect a IDE to SD adapter to that to run Free HDD Boot from it and all of your games without having anything visible from the outside of the console!

You seem to omit some important details here. Granted I did not watch the entire video, but viewers should know that the usb on the slim is only 1.1, so it will be slow and the movies will sometimes skip. The better solution is to use ethernet via samba. If you get this kit, you will not be able to run all the games smoothly. The best is to buy a fat with the hdd.

Hello, I have a ps2 slim console. While playing games with a USB memory stick, I experience constant freezing and lag in cut scenes. I don't want to open the console and connect a hard disk and I don't want to buy an ethernet router. So do you think I should connect harddisk with usb or ssd with usb? Is there a freezing, lag difference between the two or do they both give the same performance?

The USB ports on ps2s weren't designed to run games just 4 storage hence why its slow. Only other solution for slim models is SMB(ethernet cable)🤷‍♂️

@retro4fun358 Жыл бұрын

@@AnyMovie yes it works now. I have found out myself. 1.) connect your external HDD/SSD or your USB Stick to your PS1 and start OpenLoader PS2 normally. 2.) After Open Loader has Loading and see you Stick or external Drive you can take out this and connect to the USB to your Computer. 3.) Now if you open your Stick or external drive you see that some folders have been created automatically from PS2. 4.) Next you can save your PS2 iso's to (if you have DVD iso games than save this games to folder DVD its important!) CD PS2 games to the folder CD. You have to look out that your PS2 CD game iso's too because FAT32 dosesn't recognize Bin or Cue data (its what I think) you can convert Bin/Cue data with Programm "Any to Iso" it works for me perfectly If your PS2 games are larger than 4GB you need the programm " USBUtil v2.0 Full" and you have to create image with the PS2 games which are larger than 4GB. The data have been splittedt in for ecample 1GB files automatically. I have saved this splitted files to my HDD on PC not to FAT32 formated SSD because there comes lots of errors... if you have done this you have to save this splitted game files to your stick normally (not in any folders only save it there) If you put your USB Stick to your PS2 you will see that OpenLoader load your games. (be aware you have to set in OPL that your USB Stick or HDD will recocnise automatically. If some games cannot start because its fragmented you have to defrag your USB drive than these games should be run. I hope i can help you with my advice.
