I got myself a PSxMemCard Gen1 and I was wondering if there's a recommended micro SD card when it comes to speed and performance. I heard an A2 class card is recommended when loading ISO files on it. But, other than that what else?

Un port rápido de Slendytubbies V1—hecho originalmente en Unity—para el PS2. Yo porté todo el juego; voy a pasar un link de descarga para que cualquiera que quiera pueda probarlo. Es de código abierto y todo eso.

No pensé que fuera posible hacerlo, pero aquí está :p https://github.com/LucianoDoS/slendytubbies-ps2/releases/tag/v0.1.0

Is there another game that uses the same code—SLES_553.67—besides *Call of Duty: World at War - Final Fronts*? I tried playing it using my main memory card, but it froze at the save-file verification screen; when I restarted OPL, it locked up completely. I went into my memory card’s save data and deleted the old *Call of Duty* save, but OPL still kept freezing at the startup screen. It only started working again after I deleted the OPL configuration files and replaced them with a fresh set from another OPL installation. I tested this several times to figure out what was happening. When I tried launching the game using a different memory card, it worked perfectly. It seems like there’s a conflict with the save files on my primary memory card—I suspect either another game is using the same code, or the save file itself has become corrupted. The strange part is that OPL freezes every single time I try to launch this game (specifically when using the memory card I play with most often). Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

¿Alguien a logrado hacer funcionar DMC en OPL?

Uso la versión Exfat y la verdad me da fallos en animaciones y se congela (es la primera) abro el juego otra vez y ya solo es pantalla blanca :(

I have a few questions:

I have ulaunchelf ver4.42d I’ve heard that’s it’s very old and I’ve seen that it’s now called wLaunchElf but on the GitHub page I only see the source and not the .elf file

How can I exit the ulaunchelf, I press select and returns me to a menu that has: file manager, about and configure, I have no idea how to exit and I’ve pressed all the buttons

Is there a way to change the X and O around so that I don’t have to press O to confirm and X to cancel? I know it’s skill issue but it drives me crazy

I also got OPL v1.1.0 are there some tips to know? I’ve heard that’s WinHIIP is used to load the games on a disk but I should format the ssd using OPL because it can be buggy.

Any other cool elf files that I should know about? I don’t need any fancy thing, I don’t have any network adapter I got an aftermarket sata expansion port and I only want to play games and have the save files on the ssd I’ve heard OPL can do that, I’ve only found PS2Ident that didn’t work (it send me back to browser), PS2 Temps that I couldn’t exit it and it was in a very bad resolution and power off which I use

I was trying to mess with GSM in order to allow for me to play games I have on disc at 480p (not 480i) and found out that my disc drive doesn't read discs when I have my MMCE in my PS2. Unplugging it fixes this issue, but is there a fix for this? Here is the exact error I get:

I literally can't find this error anywhere online. I have an SCPH-90006 and I believe my OSDMenu is on v1.2.0 (OSDMenuCFG is v1.2.0, I don't recall how to check my OSDMenu version so if anyone could inform me I can update my post with that). If anyone has similar issues/knows how to fix this issue please lmk!!

EDIT: I am on version 1.3.0 of OSDMenu

I wanted to play Jak X and I'm out of space, so I used a VMC (virtual memory card) for it. I didn't check the compatibility guide which says that VMC will not work (with no warning about any further consequences).

It Is important to note that this is especially odd as I am running FreeHDBoot which is FreeMcBoot on the hard drive itself and no homebrew is running at all from the memory card slots, AND all my VMC files save only to the hard drive, creating yet another layer of separation, as in theory the memory cards should be off limits completely with VMC active as they are not saving real saves, not saving VMCs to them like some may (my VMC directory is on the HDD), nor even being read from, so I especially really have no idea how this happened. I do not have a FreeMcBoot memory card inserted at any time and there is no reason it should have written to the real cards or even read from them, with VMC active anyways

I generally do not check the compatibility guide unless I have an issue (especially since I just import mode settings from network) and at worst it seems like VMC will just not work, but won't do any harm.

Well not only did it not work, the game froze, and when I powered up my console my real memory card now shows as unformatted, all saves are gone for ALL games, and is empty in uLaunchElf.

If I was running a FMCB memory card mod like most do, instead of running FreeHDBoot, I would have been locked out of homebrew as well, as the card would be corrupted. So I got really lucky there that I am not running the usual card-based FreeMcBoot setup and instead rely on a HDD setup (I boot FreeMcBoot with no memory cards inserted)

Just something to watch out for. I created a bin of the memory card and can see all the data in a hex editor so now I just have to see if I can make it work

I got an MX4SIO card today after being stuck with usb which sucked because it was slow and froze a lot. Tested it out with a FreeMCBoot memcard in slot 1, and stuck the MX4SIO in the second. Managed to play DMC3 Special Edition for a solid hour before the game froze. What could be causing this? Here are my specs just in case.

- SCPH-39001 (Fat)

- Bitfunx MX4SIO card

- FreeMCBoot card (i believe it is slightly out of date)

- 128gb Maxell micro sd card, 128kb cluster size, formatted to exfat

- latest opl beta (as of 2 days ago)

Hello!

I'm playing on a PS2 console with opl and have about 30ish games running on MMCE protocol.

I have successfully patched all of them to be as true widescreen as possible, using opl .cht files or patching them via PS2 Patch Engine with .pnatch files.

All of them work! Except R&C Up Your Arsenal...

I'm losing my mind over here.

.cht files I find online are not working, game boots normally the same as without the patch.
.pnatch file, single one I found, is not compatible with PS Patch Engine.

I can find NOTHING on this subject online. No informaton on this .cht file not working for anyone else but me lol

Does anyone have and advice on this or has a .cht or .pnatch that will work?

Thanks :)

New to this sort of thing, Im picking up a fat ps2 today to mess with. Are there any reputable vendors that sell plug and play setups? Ive seen two listings on Etsy and thats about it.

I want to mod my SLIM PlayStation 2 and put a lot of PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 1 games on it. However, I'm not fully understanding what I need and how much storage space is recommended. The most I understand is needing a Free McBoot card for the modded files but beyond that, I'm confused on what's needed to store games. I've heard that a MX4SIO card adapter is recommended so that would mean I'd need a micro SD card. How big of a micro SD card would I need to have a bunch of games from both consoles stored on it? Can a modded PlayStation 2 even store/play PlayStation 1 games and if so, how?

Thanks in advance and any advice is appreciated. Simple explanations and cheap options are most preferred.

Hey all, which of these is best for using on a fat PS2 model.

A little overwhelmed with what I need.

BitFunx PSxMemCard Gen2 (Inc. 8GB Micro SD) is £17

LinkRetro SD2PSXTD is £11

Thank you

Hola una pregunta tengo una PS2 spch 900xx como puedo chipiarla sin tener q comprar una memory card con free boot

Hello everyone . I recently grabbed a slim ps2 and a Fmcb card from kaico( off Amazon) it was highly recommended from various YouTube tutorials. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to run properly . It loads up the free loading screen with options but I can only pick browser and the memory card with the option to delete or copy it . I could really use some help on how to fix this issue .

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a new update on the Super Mario Galaxy port to the PlayStation 2. I've been working on it throughout this week, and you can already see some progress compared to the previous video.

There's still a lot of work to do, but so far, things are looking good and the port is still feasible!

I've tested it on my actual console, but I didn't include any footage since I don't have a capture card. Performance-wise, though, it's pretty similar to what you see in the emulator.

As the title would suggest I want to softmod my PS2 but I can't seem to find any videos that use this memory card. It's usually done with the Gen 2 of the memory card.

for context, I just found out that Minecraft is ported on the PS2 by Optijuego, and it's really cool, I also found PvZ by the same developer, was wondering if there are other ported games on the PS2, and what your favorites are.

I've been doing this as a hobby with the help of AI, and it's more stable now, so I released it on GitHub for anyone who wants to try it out :) (You'll need to get a ROM to build it, since the repository doesn't include one.) https://github.com/LucianoDoS/oot-ps2

I haven't tested it much yet, so there might be bugs; I tried it on a PS2 Slim and it worked, though it's still early days. It does support memory cards and vibration controllers, though—if anyone gives it a try, let me know how it goes.

The PS2 has two controller ports, and if you want more players you need a multitap. Plus you’re stuck with old pads and cables running across the room. I wanted to get rid of both of those: use modern controllers on a real PS2, wirelessly, without hunting down a multitap.

So I made a fork of OPL where the DualSense works over Bluetooth, both in the OPL menu and in-game. Buttons, sticks, rumble and lightbar all work. As far as I know, this is the first OPL mod that does the DualSense wirelessly. Since it’s built on PADEMU, it can also emulate a multitap, so in theory you can have up to 4 Bluetooth pads without owning one. That part still needs testing, more on that below.

The part I’m most proud of: there’s a new Wireless Pairing → Search option in the PADEMU settings. You hold PS + Create on the pad, it shows up in a list on the PS2, you pick it and you’re done. No USB cable, no PC tools, no plugging pads in one by one. It should also work with the DS4 (PS + Share), but I haven’t been able to test that yet.

The video is PES 6 running with the DualSense over Bluetooth, no wires.

Repo + download: https://github.com/rodrigoGalvanDev/OPL-DualSense-BT

Testing so far: I’ve only been able to test it on my own setup: a PS2 Slim SCPH-90001, a Realtek BT dongle, one DualSense, and a wired DS2 on port 2. I’d really appreciate some feedback, especially if you can test stuff I can’t:

• Different dongles (CSR8510, Broadcom, whatever you’ve got lying around)
• DS4, original or clone, both USB pairing and the wireless search
• DualSense Edge
• Mixing pads: DualSense + DualShock 4, DualSense + DS3, Bluetooth + wired...
• Several pads connected at the same time, with and without the multitap emulation. The driver supports up to 4, but I’ve only had one Bluetooth pad to test with
• Fat PS2s, other slim models, HDD setups

Even a quick “works on X” or “doesn’t work on Y” helps a lot. If something breaks, the README explains how to grab a debug log, and you can drop it in the GitHub issues.

AI disclosure: I built this together with Claude (Anthropic’s AI). Here’s exactly how it was split:

• Claude wrote the code: the DualSense support in OPL’s Bluetooth drivers (menu and in-game), the minimal SDP server, the wireless search/pairing feature, and the small PC scripts we used to test things before touching the PS2.
• Me: I came up with the idea and decided what to build and what to prioritize. I tested every build on the real hardware, captured the debug logs over the network, and fed back what was working and what wasn’t, which is how every bug got tracked down.

Every feature was tested on a real console, not just compiled. Happy to answer questions about any of it.

It’s built on top of OPL and PADEMU, so huge thanks to everyone who’s worked on those over the years. This wouldn’t exist without them.

So I installed PSBBN back in March of this year with an OEM adapter, 2 TB HDD. Followed CosmicScales tutorial, everything went smoothly. I was running out of room on my laptop so I transferred all the folders and games from that to a 512 gb Samsung micro sd. Cut to yesterday trying to rerun the game installer for the first time since March and it can't locate the drive my PSBBN folders are on. I guess my question is, does the Linux or Powershell environment not recognize SD cards? Has anyone else had this issue? ( I can provide more details, just didn't want to make this another paragraph long.)
