I want to try this, I have one and a half ps2. I want to make something portable, i.e. battery screen system. And I think this system might work for repurposing basic E waste that I got for free. The power consumption is the major factor . This will possibly solve that issue.

just one minor point - apparently the ATA controller can actually support up to 133mbps, not only the default (and officially used) ATA-66. This is possibly of benefit if using newer versions of OPL with support for these faster modes.

i agree 100 percent. matches my experience, compared to modding all the other consoles. i thought xbox was tricky but i've been messing with ps2 homebrew solutions since the beggining and its changed so much, there are so many options, different methods, different apps, app specific scenarios, compatability issues etc, its a mess. things do get better, but theres alot of outdated solutions out there which all work if done correctly, offering different results. there needs to be some recap videos of the different options, and covering the latest greatest methods which are still evolving - exfat drives, ditching winhiip and hdldump, or ms4sio. going the old way provides the ability to use pops, but the newest quickest solution doesnt come with this feature but transfering games is much simpler. using the premade freemcboot memcard images helps, understanding which opl, and ulaunch for whatever task you need helps too.

I bought the MX4SIO with a free mcboot memory card, I heard that when launching a game you had to change your free mcboot memory card for a normal memory card to save your games. Is there a way to have the games save straight to the free mcboot memory to avoid switching out the memory cards all the time? cheers.

The hard drive bay was also supposed to be used for games that need an update with online games and there was a browser 2.0 update at some point that would add a hdd icon to the browser where your memory cards are displayed soo it could theoretically be used as a giant memory card also a good pc software for managing games and hard drive is pfs batchkit manager it lets you convert/decomcpress ps1 games lets you compress games to zso format it even supports zip extracting soo you can zip up all your games soo you can fit more on your pc to do a big install of them all it also creates elf files for ps1 games for opl app tab and has a server thing i never used it as i have gamestar adapter only issue is you cant use it to delete games and renaming seems to be buggy but if you rename before hand or use its built in use name from database its fine you can just delete games from launch elf's hdd manager in the misc section and you can rename them there too and sorry for lack of punctation its a mouthfull to read i failed english at school lol.

Theres a lot of reasons as to why putting a CRT in would be much more hassle for less worth, such as needing to convert from HDMI to analogue and then spoof the EDID to run it at a lower 15khz resolution, its far easier to use an LCD in this case and actually makes it more playable at a distance

Its stupid since we now have USB pc sticks more powerful then it (discontinued by Intel in 2021), mini pcs like by Chuwi or Apple, and of course Acer and HP and Apple all still make AIO's. Imagine that, a laptop...in a monitor...which can be screwed to the table. Theft proof and powerful! Worst case, we even have extremely small clients like raspberi Pi's and its competition that work with any monitor. Its also a note that a JackPC has NO COOLING so even if you wanted to up the specs of it...your more likely to destroy the computer OR start a fire in your wall. Who wants a hot metal electric thing inside their easily flammable insulated wall internally where it can slow burn and you not even know?

@@NaokisRC Not a fan of that ether. Less things in wall surrounded by ventilation/air = good. And honestly, we already had better solutions then this in 2009 when it came out. AIOs, mini-pcs, and thin clients (1993). "In 1997, Wyse introduced the first thin-client remote management software system, Wyse Remote Administrator." Putting a pc in a wall is not the play here and the other tech that surrounded it at that time made it pointless. Also, both WYSE and AIO's had "anti-theft Kensington locks." "Invented in 1992, the Kensington Security Slot has been an industry standard. Since then, more than 30 million Kensington locks have been sold around the world." The wall pc, was an unneeded formfactor that was a marketing gimmick.
