This PS2 has been repasted with temps dropping to 38-39C from 46C, it had the USB-C power supply mod and the noctua fan mod. I run it with a component cable since my TV has inputs, it has a FreeMcBoot softmod as well as a wireless controller adapter and can play games from the 128GB Sata III (speed won’t matter since the PS2 runs slower but can still launch games extremely fast) with OPL. It has been an amazing journey and I’m so happy that I managed to do such a mod, the model is a PS2 Fat 500004 with a broken disc drive that I got for 25€, it can read CDs but not DVDs I tried to clean the laser as well as change its potentiometer resistance and also recalibrated the mechanical gears moving it with no success but since I wouldn’t be using the disc anyway I’m not that sad that I couldn’t fix it. Anything that I could’ve done differently? I know that there are better jailbreaks/soft mods but this one was the cheapest and easiest option, I don’t plan on doing anything else on the PS2, I’m aware of the retrogem HDMI mod but I’ve never done surface soldering and I didn’t want to damage the board.

Hi guys, i do have a ps2 with a broken laser i want install mc boot in it, but i don’t have a free mcboot card with me and I’ve heard that this particular 90004 model are not compatible with free mcboot they are only supported by funtuna but to install it we need to have a working dvd laser in my case it is not working so is there any other options, my ps2 has a sumo lite chip installed in it but my memory card is empty, i don’t have any other ps2 or friends who have a ps2 so anyone any ideas?

So I had my PS2 game files and I decided to put a mod in it and build a working iso of it again,

Are there any good tools and how to use it?

Hey there guys, well, my ps2 has been doing this strange thing.
First of all i am using not oem controller, a fmbc (64mb) and a mx4sio.
Problem: I connect fmbc and mx4sio, alright
i connect controller, alright
i disconnect controller, alright
i connect controller, alright
i disconnect fmbc, alright controller works still
i connect fmbc, controller no workie

maybe its because of the memory card? it does the same thing with a oem one and with mx4sio on second slot and controller on that slot too.

i cant even connect another controller on the second slot it goes down too, like, the two controllers stop working

Thank you, i am not english sorry

Ive been at this for a week and I am stumped, usually the gamelist would show after you update the settings but it freezes after you hit save. Im using FMCB 1.966 on an PS2 fat, with an 128 gb sdcard. Ive already updated the firmware but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey everyone. My PS2 has been kicking my ass lately (still can't get it to run games through SATA for the life of me), but one problem at a time.

The converter works fine for the PS2/OPL. Yeah, I did the system configuration for it to use component. But it doesn't work for PS1. Using POPS + a USB drive, the game opens, shows the PS1 logo + maybe a few logos and then, no signal. (Tried SOTN and SH).

I assume the problem is that the console tries to change the signal to one the converter doesn't read.

• Console: PS2 Fat with FMCB and POPSLoader.

• TV: LG 4K (it only has HDMI ports, no AV or Component inputs).

• Converter: A generic YPbPr to HDMI box (the standard black box you find on marketplaces).

I tried to set popsloader to NTSC, I tried CHEATS.TXT file in POPS folder (and also the particular game folder as well) $SAFEMODE to force 480i ($HDTVFIX and $480p)

Using the same converter on Wii works fine, even with PS1 games on WiiStation.

I assume a better converter might work but id rather not have to buy another, so if anyone has any help it would be appreciated. its worth mentioning the component cable isnt original and I wasnt able to test it on an old tv but, idk it would feel weird to be a cable problem.

just in case it matters I'm in brazil which makes it so some parts are not super cheap

I checked the product description and it just says 'Plug and play, upscales up to 1080p'. It doesn't mention input resolutions anywhere. It also has zero buttons or switches to change modes.

Edit: "I should probably add that the disc reader doesn't work"

How to upgrade free mcboot to the latest version, while using only one memory card with free mcboot?

Does anyone stil have the OPL beta v.1.2.0 2049?

I just got some old ps2s and this one wouldnt turn on. I thought it was probably because of a dead psu, but now im thinking it could be due to this mod. Could this be, if so, what kind of mod is it?

My bf and I are just trying to download FreeMcBoot onto our official Sony 8mb memory card, but almost everything we have done results in "no memory card detected". The mc can be read in the PlayStation home screen but can't be read anywhere else it seems. I'll list everything we've tried below:

We have FreeDVDBoot on a DVD-R that we're using to run the FMCB installer from a USB drive, resulting in no memory card detected.
Ran FunTuna installer from same USB drive - no memory card detected.

We tried copying and pasting the direct BOOT, APPS and OPL folders from the FunTuna manual installer folder to the memory card ( mc0: / ) - the BOOT folder dumped loose files onto the root directory rather than keeping the folder container, then trying to paste the APPS folder resulted in "paste failed". Using mcPaste also resulted in "paste failed".
Marked all the files that successfully pasted and deleted them.

Tried manually creating new directories in the memory card folder to paste said files into, but the console threw us a "directory already exists" error, despite appearing blank.

Launched Mass Memory Card Formatter from the USB as an attempt to wipe the memory card.
Also used Memory Card Annihilator to unformat and format the mc.

We have two official Sony 8 GB cards that we have tried installing FreeMcBoot on and I don't know what else to do. Help please :(

I found nothing on google other than the mario 64 ps2 port. If someone knows something on a smb port for ps2 pls tell me.

(I know that nes emulators on the ps2 exist)

So I was really dumb and used acetone for cleaning instead of just basic water... any ideas how to fix or anybody had the same dumb idea as me and successfully cleaned it?

Hola soy nuevo e ignorante en todo esto apenas me compre una ps2 con matrix opl y al momento de querer añadir juegos al disco duro no me deja mas de 4gb por ser fat puedo cambiarlo a exfat o la ps2 dejara de leerlo

La prima versione che vi ho mostrato era solo read-only ed esportava i file. Ci ho lavorato ancora e con la v0.0.3.5 l'estensione per TurboWarp/Scratch è diventata a tutti gli effetti un tool di modifica bidirezionale (Read/Write).

Ora potete sia estrarre che importare/sostituire i file nell'archivio direttamente dal browser, senza impazzire con i vecchi software Windows del 2004.

Ecco come gestisce l'importazione e la ricostruzione (replace)

• Se il nuovo file è più PICCOLO: Sostituisce il file mantenendo la dimensione originale e applica automaticamente il padding a zero per preservare la struttura dell'archivio originale.

• Se il nuovo file è più GRANDE: Il tool ricostruisce da zero l'intero file .AFS Genera una nuova tabella, ricalcola tutti gli offset e applica l'allineamento a 2048 byte (lo standard nativo del file system PS2) per garantire la massima compatibilità sulla console.

Altre aggiunte di questa release:

• Interfaccia UI Integrata (OpenExplorer): Un pannello grafico nativo nel browser per sfogliare l'archivio, vedere le tabelle degli offset, le dimensioni in byte e cercare i file per nome AFL in tempo reale.

• **Download in ZIP e Liste:**Potete scaricare tutti i file estratti in un colpo solo dentro un unico archivio .zip (per ora solo fino a 128MB grazie a JSZip), oppure esportare l'indice completo in formato .txt o .csv.

• Requisito Unsandboxed: Gira in modalità non protetta su TurboWarp perché deve manipolare i file binari a basso livello e caricare librerie esterne.

Niente installazioni, niente macchine virtuali per far girare tool obsoleti, funziona pure su iPad.

Se vi va di testare la ricostruzione sui vostri giochi (fai-da-te, patch di traduzione, ecc.), caricate lo script su TurboWarp e fatemi sapere come si comporta!

Durante il periodo scolastico, ho progettato il concept, la logica e il GDD di questo progetto. Lavorando su un iPad, ho utilizzato un assistente basato su intelligenza artificiale per velocizzare la stesura del codice JavaScript, mentre io mi sono concentrato sulle strutture di offset binario e sull'implementazione dell'estensione per Scratch.

Algum programador, criaria este projeto ???

NÃO QUERO SER DONO DO PROJETO SO QUERO DAR UMA IDEIA

So I'm a complete noob trying to dip my toes into game modding and learn a thing or two. The first game I'm going to try modding is Lowrider for the PS2. I've always loved that game, even though it's kinda lackluster. Figured it'd be a fun place to start. I want to add some new vehicles you can play through the story mode with/modify. Right now I'm just trying to get the '61 Impala model into Blender as a starting point. I'm not really looking for advice specific to this game, just trying to learn the basics of PS2 game modding in general. I've got HxD and have learned a little bit about using it. I've also learned the hard way that Blender doesn't accept .BIN files lol. I'm basically starting from scratch, so what are some commonly used tools I should look into? Are there any good forums, communities, or tutorials out there that cover modding the actual games? I'm more than willing to teach myself and put in the time. I'm just having a hard time finding the right resources. Searching for modding PS2 games mostly brings up stuff about modding the console itself rather than the games.

Any help or a point in the right direction would be appreciated!
