#EASIEST WAY TO PLAY PS2 ROMS ON PS2 SLIM MODS#
It's really wild that things like the PS2 and GBA are still getting new mods in 2018. To be honest though, the more I look at that PS2NetBox the more I kind of want to eventually splurge one on. Eventually I had some spare HDDs laying around and decided to start using OPL for USB backups for the reasons I mentioned above.
I've been running FreeMcBoot ever since I got my PS2 Slim (got one to hack it, haha) and pretty much exclusively used DVD-R (not +R, unfortunately) burnt discs for a few years. MERGED -Ĭlick to expand.I've honestly never thought about hardmodding my system. if you find potential random shutdowns acceptable) Some workarounds were made: the diode/resistor type that lowers power all the time (bad), or the PIC that turns off the console when the lens power goes too far up (proven and solid.

So, when the mechacon crashes (due to a low quality disc, wrong error correction data, or even non-disc related reasons), it's likely to burn out the focus and tracking movements for the lens (and on some fats, if you're unlucky, the amplifier chip that's between those and the mechacon), trying to run them at full power.

This is the reason it's often said that "modchips kill lasers", actually it can happen with 100% legal home movie DVDs, or even if the power/reset button is hit at just the wrong moment! (and that's why it went to court)
The real problem with PS2s is that models from roughly 39xxx to 70xxx included have a buggy mechacon (plenty of debates on whether this is by accident or choice but when Sony was sued the problem quickly disappeared from later models, for some reason). PS2 Slim optical drives are widely available and cheap (for now), though! Slow writing speed helps a little, quality discs help a lot more, not having a bad writer (keep reading) is critical But it's a completely new device (not compatible with any software that expects the official HDD system, only OPL and PopStarter), costs 60 dollars, and long term support is very questionable given the exact words of its designer.Įlse if you're fine with an always-on SMB 1 server (in windows by default this practically means full LAN remote disk access, research "disable administrative shares" - tried yesterday using a Pi 1 connected directly to the console and had stability issues) and some lag, that's a possible option with compatibility not too worse than HDDĪll of the above need FreeMcBoot, or a swap magic coder/action replay disc, or a modchip with USB boot support/an OPL disc to run OPL in the first placeĬlick to expand.An -R disc is harder on the lens than a -ROM, and RW ones are much worse, yes (the contrast between 1s and 0s is inherently less, so laser power will be turned up on any drive with automatic gain - everything since 1995 basically) It's promising, works on every PS2 with Ethernet without soldering, and is simpler to manage (also connects to PC via usb, drag and drop isos).

If you can install the "official" HDD kit (for scph-700xx) that's the best compatibility option, for both commercial games and homebrewsĮlse there's this new product, PS2NetBox, that takes a SATA or IDE disk and connects it via Ethernet.
