I got a phat ps2, it has a matrix modchip with a weird kind of game launcher, It also has an official sony hdd network adapter with a western digital ide drive,

Can someone help me install remove the weird game launcher, I want to be able to move games from my laptop to my ps2 thru ethernet and launch games from like opl with freemcboot

Can someone help me please? I would be super thankful!

PS: I want to remove the weird launcher and install opl instead, i also want to transfer games over network to ide drive

Model # is SCPH-39001 I do have an extra HDD laying around that I can use, any tips or any other info related is greatly appreciated !

Hey everyone,

I just saw a nice guide on how to softmod the PS2 Slim via FCMB and some other nice tools.
(Link to Vid)

I landed on two things I want to do thus far.

1: Buy a FCMB Memory card (Link)
2: Get a PS2 to HDMI converter (Link)

When watching the video the guide mentioned a Network adapter for the storage upgrade.

I noticed that this does not work on a PS2 Slim since it does not have this adapter.
I also saw some people on youtube and on reddit saying it is possible to use the USB and just hook up and external Harddrive.
I do already have one so does this work just with OPL, when formatting it the right way?

I also saw people saying ther are some caveats but none of them were mentioned. I also saw that apparently for my model and some other the USB speeds are a bit higher than other models making this possible.

So my question quite frankly is, do I need something special to get a Harddrive working?

Dialed in the Picture better too on the Trini (KV-27FS100)

Each 3 hour block is like 3GB once converted. They are VHS recordings so not full res, but the output resolution and codec is correct. A little post processing to make it a bit better. Anyone that wants to know how leave a comment, it's pretty easy but you need a halfway decent PC.

Finally got a PS2 and I loaded up my 512 GB SD card with games. I grew up a Nintendo and Sega kid so I never got a PS2.

Which games am I missing and which of your favorite do you recommend?

I'm not sure how to fix this. I've tried googling but all I see are people having this problem on HDTVs and not actual 4:3 crts. The settings pages are for Sega Genesis Collection which is the game I'm having issue with.

Other games work fine like Sonic Heros.

Back in 2020, we made a small top-down co-op shooter for a game jam, called Hell on Earth in Unity. Since we were children we always wanted to make a game for the PS2, so we spent the last few months porting it from scratch onto a patched version of the Tyra engine.

The game is a twin-stick co-op shooter for 1-2 players, with 5 weapons and waves of demon enemies. It works on real PS2 hardware (FMCB/OPL/wLE) or most likely in PCSX2 (we think, we've only tested on real PS2 hardware), drop the folder on a USB stick and boot the ELF.

Full disclosure: a lot of the port (C++ rewrite, engine patches, debugging) was done with a lot of AI assistance. The 2020 original was written by hand, and every asset and texture, models, sprites and audio was human-made, no AI generation.

My PS2 Slim stopped displaying an image after I used IGR in the game Ben 10: Protector of Earth. The screen went black and didn't return to OPL. So I restarted the console to get back to OPL, but it stopped displaying any image. Sometimes the image returns after leaving the console off for a while, but the problem returns when restarting or turning the console off again. When it manages to display an image, the screen looks like this.

Solutions I've tried, but without permanent success: • Resetting OPL to factory settings • Configuring Matrix without seeing it • Disabling Matrix (holding START while turning on the console) • Disconnecting the Memory Card and MX4SIO • Configuring YPbPr without seeing it

My setup: • PS2 Slim SCPH-90010 with modchip • Matrix Infinity V1.93 chip (it saves settings) • Bitfunx PS1/PS2 HDMI adapter • OPL 1.2.0 Beta 2228 • MX4SIO with Micro SD formatted in exFAT

Has anyone experienced this problem before? How can I solve it? I would really appreciate any help.
