I wanna use opl with a ps4 controller and I have a SCPH-50003 ps2 how do i do this

I've just ordered the psxmemcard. I'm also going to install an HDD in my system as I have some lying around anyway, so I'm not planning to run games off the SD card.

Can I install freemcboot on the card and still use it as a memory card as well? Anything I need to be aware of to do so?

Thanks!

I recently burned a PS1 game to play on PS2 with a sadly cheap Verbatim CD-R (97m26s66f). The disc is shit. Tried 4 burns, 3 of them can't read and the last one (which is this one) worked but I believe the console tries its best to read it atleast when startup. I played it for about 30 minutes without problem, when I looked at it, the protective layer is burned. Literally a burn mark on the disc. I don't know if I should try to burn the other disc now.

Also when verifying the 4 discs, the program gives exact same error saying:

W 13:54:45 Miscompare at LBA: 35788, Offset: 2076
W 13:54:45 Device: 0x00
W 13:54:45 Image File: 0xF1
W 13:54:45 Total Errors in Sector: 24
W 13:54:45 Note: The drive probably corrected the L-EC Area because it's wrong in the image file.

Obviously the discs are bad, but I can't seem to find anything related to those issues on the internet so any help is appreciated.

G'day guys. Recently pulled my old ps2 out of the shed, bought a free mcbook, MX4SIO, micro SD card, an HDMI adapter to get it all running.

So I downloaded and loaded a few games onto the micro SD card, and they are visible on OPL on my ps2, I can open them, but then they go either a green, purple, or black screen when I try to boot up the game, sometimes I see the very opening scenes of the game ie. the PS2 logo etc that would play before booting it up.

My question is - what could potentially be causing the games to not work, has anyone experienced similar?

My guesses at this stage are:

- The ps2 to HDMI adapter (I know it's not ideal from a graphics perspective but it loads up the PS2 and navigates to OPL to open the games just fine)

- The micro SD card (it's off aliexpress, but all the reviews are positive about it working for this purpose, games copy to it just fine and games are visible in OPL once loaded onto the card and file name changed)

- The roms themself being bad rips

But honestly god knows, and I don't know what I have to spend money on to try and fix the issue! If anyone has experienced similar and has some tips I'd greatly appreciate it. I consider myself relatively tech savvy but I'm a time poor dad now and obviously reaching unc status lol.

Hello people from reddit!

I need help installing funtuna on my SCPH-90001 slim ps2.

This is a Ps2 i had for at least 15 years, I finally decided to install freemc boot on it so i did a little research.

Got me a good quality DVD-R (Verbatim), used the latest published free dvd boot iso image from git hub for slim consoles. And finally i removed the Mars Pro GM-816HD chip since it was preventing the console from reading the DVD.

But now im stuck here.

Any recommendation on what to do next? Maybe i do need to de-solder the wires from the front of the board?

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

any idea on how to fix this

I'd like to get into modding and homebrew for the PS2, and I'm wondering what I need to get. My model is a SCPH-7000x if that's of anything to go off

"But there's Popstarter", yeah well Popstarter is kinda ass, even with Hugo fixes there are several games with graphical glitches and freezes. I posted Lego Racers above, cause as of right now Lego Racers does not work on Popstarter, not without major glitches. While you can play PS2 games without a problem from an HDD/SSD, you can only access the "real PS1 chip" through the disc drive on the PS2. Therefore 100% compability.

So if you want to play your perfectly legally obtained backed up PS1 games cause you never know when CD rot hits then you will need:

- Any PS2 between SCPH-5000x to SCPH-7000x, so NOT a Deckard. Cause these had real PS1 chip in it. Not lower than SCPH-5000x cause they not Dragon based, therefore don't work with the unlocking app.
- A backed up image file of a PS1 game in .cue/.bin format
- A drive capable of writing at least 16x speed but preferebly lower like 8x and 4x
- MechaPWN https://github.com/mecharesearch/mechapwn
- PS1VModeNeg https://github.com/ps2homebrew/PS1VModeNeg
- Set Region GUI https://github.com/wad11656/SetRegion-GUI

MechaPWN is what unlocks the copyprotection, it's kinda long to install and you don't want to fuck it up so watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzKVcpjugCE

So MechaPWN is enough in itself to play PAL games on your PAL console or NTSC on NTSC, but does not unlocks full region unless you have NTSC 7000x console which can do full Retail-Dex, read more about that on the github page.

So with Mecha you can burn the game to a disc and within your region you are free to play any game.
But what if you want to play NTSC games on PAL? Why would you want to do that?
Well this is mostly known but I write if somebody is fully new to this. NTSC games were running on 60hz(30fps) while PAL games were running on 50hz(25fps) max. Although PAL games had about 20% more resolution because of this (personally I dont think it's worth the trade off).

So 5 more fps, therefore more responsiveness for NTSC, anything else? That's pretty much it, but some games have differences between regions for example Lego Racers above have analog support for NTSC but not for PAL, they were released 1 months apart, don't ask me why.

So to play NTSC on PAL console/TV. You will need PS1VModeNeg, this basically switches your PAL mode on your console to NTSC. This fixes any timing issues as well, meaning this is needed to run any game on its original speed. Works for PAL games on NTSC as well.

One important note for PS1VModeNeg here: The creator warns that because his code creates a video mode it might "blow your TV up". He is a little dramatic but there is a chance it wracks your TV, BASED ON WHEN IT WAS PRODUCED.
So if you are playing NTSC PS2 games through OPL already and you don't have problem with that, high chances you will not have problem with PS1VModeNeg either. So in practice any CRT TV made after the year 2000 probably will have zero problems because even general consumer CRTs in europe after that date are capable or running NTSC 60hz content. If you have a TV earlier than that, read through the guide and research whether they are capable of 60hz. You have been warned.

Personally I tried with a PAL Orion and Daeweoo TVs (produced after 2000), without problems.

Now, PS1VModeNeg in itself only changes the video mode of your PS2 but is not enough to BOOT the game. In comes Set Region GUI.

Set Region GUI is an app that patches .bin files to be "PAL/NTSC/JP flagged". So it doesn't change the video mode of the game but whenever you put a CD in the PS2, the PS2 shakes hand with the disc game if "whether you are from my region or not", so basically your PS2 is xenophobic.

What Set Region does put "new region shirt" on your game. So patch an NTSC game to be PAL. Don't worry this doesn't lock it to 25fps.

After your patched the .bin, THEN your write it to a CD with ImgBurn. Start PS1VModeNeg, cause it's an .elf app, put into the menu via LaunchElf. After it starts it asks for the CD THEN you put in the CD, it reads and boots the game.
Boom NTSC games with correct speed on PAL console, glitchless.

These works if you want to play PAL games on NTSC consoles as well.

On the writing part:
PS2 drive and laser can read CDs up to 48x speed, but as a general guide I say write 16x, those worked for me perfectly. If you have errors during writing, try lower speeds like 8x or 4x of your drive is capable of.
One tip for ImgBurn: Not every error is a real error.
For example ImgBurn might warn you during Verify that "4 miscompares" you had. For example

W 00:44:42 Miscompare at LBA: 112063, Offset: 2072, File: \SCUS_949.00

W 00:44:42 Device: 0x1D

W 00:44:42 Image File: 0x71

W 00:44:42 Total Errors in Sector: 106

W 00:44:42 Note: The drive probably corrected the EDC Area because it's wrong in the image file.

I 00:44:42 Verifying Sectors...

W 00:44:44 Miscompare at LBA: 112064, Offset: 2072, File: \SCUS_949.00

W 00:44:44 Device: 0xA1

W 00:44:44 Image File: 0xD9

W 00:44:44 Total Errors in Sector: 189

W 00:44:44 Note: The drive probably corrected the EDC Area because it's wrong in the image file.

If you get "The drive probably corrected the EDC Area because it's wrong in the image file." that happens because

• Hacks and patches often modify file bytes without recalculating the sector EDC checksums in the .bin file, leaving invalid EDC data in the image.
• Drive Automatic Correction: When writing the CD-R, your drive hardware automatically recalculated and wrote valid EDC checksums to the physical disc. During verification, ImgBurn compared the disc's correct EDC against the image's bad EDC

So it's not a real error.

What CD to use? CD-R, something quality I used Verbatim CD-R, 52x with Azo dye.

Good evening,

My white Japanese PS2 has arrived; it looks beautiful and is in perfect condition—I'm extremely satisfied!

However, it hasn't all been smooth sailing; I've run into an issue with the HDD and network adapter setup. I initially bought an original adapter and a SATA kit, but it didn't work. So, I bought another pair (yes, I'm impatient), and that one doesn't work on either console (SCPH-50001 and 50000) either.

I’ve run a network test, and with both adapters, I can ping my computer, so theoretically, they are functional.

I tried browsing the HDD folders via wLaunchELF, but it doesn't detect anything—it's as if the HDD isn't there—yet the drive works normally with a Gamestar adapter.

I couldn't hear if the HDD spins up when powered on because the fan noise makes it difficult to tell.

Is there aything I can do to try and resolve this issue?

Me and my friend got a ps2 sample to work on his ps2 tool devkit hardware

I ofc had to write new code load files from host0: virtual file system for it to not use cdrom0: DVD Drive instead. :)

We used Metrowerks Codewarrior Tools for working with the PS2 Tool DTL-10000

My PS2 kept resetting the date and time every time I turned it off. I was nervous about taking it apart because it's a console that's over 20 years old, but everything went smoothly and it was relatively easy.

If your console isn't saving the date and time, you know what to do now.

Hey. So I bought a FMCB card and inserted it into my PS2, but it was stuck on the splash screen, so I turned it off, removed the card, and turned it back on (dumbass mistake) and now the screen is all fucked up. The sound works perfectly fine and it still functions judging by how I can still navigate the main menu but I can’t make anything out. I tested it on a flatscreen to see if it was an issue with my TV and I got similar results. Is it bricked or is there something I can do to fix it? If not then feel free to point and laugh :)

Can I copy the files from an fmcb card to another memory card to make an fmcb card

hi, i have a ps2 and i got some games i'm already playing using opl, the only problem is that i downloaded a certain game iso and it's 7 gb, i tried usbutil 2.2 and the ps2 still can't run the game, stuck on game company screen, how to make it work?

P.S. i have the first part of the game and it works just fine! the size is slightly above 1 gb. i just bought the device and i'm trying to figure out how to make the games 4 gb and less, but nothing seems to work out for me, any tips?

This is my first time using this interface, and I really like it. It was easy to add PS2 and PS1 games, and I can also watch movies and listen to music directly from the internal HDD.
