Quick Overview MX4SIO - For Use with PS2 and OPL (English, 2022)
Рет қаралды 71,846
Күн бұрынToday's video is a quick overview of MX4SIO, where if you have a ps2 that can boot special build of OPL, then you can boot games off a sd to microsd adapter that is inserted into slot 2. The project does require some soldering, see link below for a reference schematic.
Enjoy!

@Vans_WW 2 жыл бұрын
@@tnaplastic2182 While maybe true in benchmarks, what you get is still slower than the DVD drive speed and only a margin faster than USB. Network loading becomes bottlenecked by the CPU in handling the network interface. Even in best case scenario (copy only) it was recorded to be around +- 3.3 MB/s. During gameplay, this penalty can be higher, at which point you are 1:1 with USB transfer speeds. Not enough to alleviate FMV stutter in some games, and not enough of a noticeable improvement over USB to consider sacrificing power to “run a raspberry pie server”. Benefit is in storage size by hosting games on a server. Just my 2 cents.
@tnaplastic2182 2 жыл бұрын
@@Vans_WW Yes, 28MBit/s on a video on my channel... I know... ;) Yes, the bottleneck is the IOP. "In best case scenarios..." You forgot to mention "in-game", but it seems obvious that you talk/write about that! UDPBD is less dependent on the IOP and could yield 12.5MiB/s (100MBit/s)! Access times are faster on any storage compared to discs though and that IS very noticeable! I agree, that "SMB" puts a lot of "load" on the IOP and that it can even dive a game's performance BELOW that of any of the other devices! That usually doesn't occur on FMVs though! It rather sounds like your setup (or the setup where those issues were present) is running in 10MBit/s mode!

While this is cool as shit, I'd like someone to make a PS2 ODE (Optical Drive Emulator). That way you could you still load games off of an mSD card, but you'd be replacing an aging DVD drive in an older PS2 and games could still be played (and it'd be simpler and cleaner even if soldering is required internally)!

YES, some games which don't run via SMB, or have problems because of the IOP running on 100% via SMB occasionally, run better via MX4SIO. The bandwidth is slower than on SMB, so an FMV *might* stutter via MX4SIO, while it doesn't via SMB. It is way better than USB in pretty much any case/regard.

The development is pretty much at the beginning on the software-side. It DOES work on the build he used ("BDM3"), but not on the current Betas. On another note: The PS2 has USB1.1...

Gonna sound super nerdy but can this be used with a soft modded PSX DESR (the ones that only cam out in Japan)? Thanks

The MOST important question: Can it run Klonoa 2 without errors? Cause that game is notoriously hard to run without a functioning disk drive.

I think I have Klonoa 2 PAL somewhere and can try it when I find it (if that would be of use).

Awesome video. I just finished doing something similar with FreeMCBoot and a hard drive, but this is much better because it's swappable and quieter. HDD is a bit noisy because I haven't found a solid state that works with the PS2. Just curious, does the donor memory card need to be a MagicGate card? I could not tell if it was MagicGate in the video. I know FreeMCBoot requires it.

Donor card is any ps1 or ps2 card and we reuse it for the contacts. Doesn't care if MagicGate or not

Hey, I was wondering if you could help me with something. So I updated OPL to the latest version and I noticed that the "Check game fragmentation" option is gone, now I can't play some of my games because it says that they are fragmented, if you know a way to fix this, please let me know! Also I'm using an usb HDD to load games.
@TheOriginalVersatile 2 жыл бұрын
Not sure why it's gone, told to copy all files to pc, format drive, then copy all files back

Why Games on SD Card by Usb Card Reader won't load?
@ProjectPhoenixMedia 2 жыл бұрын
No idea, it worked for me before I used mx4sio and opl, maybe it depends on type of adapter, an older usb 2.0 is easier than usb 3.0

Start over, format mx4sio and add games again. Delete the OPL folder and start fresh again.

How does speed compares to hard disk solution for ps2 ?
@ProjectPhoenixMedia 2 жыл бұрын
I believe hard drive for fat ps2 is quicker, but the mx4sio is fast enough that I have not noticed any lag. Only issue possibly is game compatibility
