    PS2 OEM HDD adaptor, SATA mod, Molex power?

    I'm currently using a clone HDD adapter, but I'm looking at going with an OEM adaptor for the networking and then modding it for SATA. One thing I noticed is that the mod seems to leave the Molex power plug place. I don't need that, since I'm using a SATA SSD. My question is this: if I mod an...

    PS2 [MX4SIO/SIO2SD] SD Card Adapter and SD-driver for the PS2 SIO2 interface

    Congrats on getting this working! So people are mentioning that it's not really feasible to do this for a PS1, but what about on a PS2 in PS1-mode? If the memcard buses could be accessed in PS1-mode, could this work as a place to put ISOs where PS1-mode could read them?

    How to view 240p content with an HDTV that doesn't support 240p ?

    You're right that there are a few PS2 games that support 240p only. There aren't many, but some of them are famous, like Disgaea (and most of the games related to it) and ICO (but *not* Shadow of the Colossus). I haven't had much luck with GSM, but I think that's my TV's fault, not a GSM...

    PS2 For games that do not support VMC

    FMCB can boot from either slot. But for some reason, many PS2 games only ever read from Slot 1: they don't even give you an option to use Slot 2. I don't know if there are technical reasons for this, or if it just became common practice for some reason. That's the core issue here. It's not...

    PS2 Switching to hdl_dump: list and icons?

    Due to some screw-ups on my part, I need to reinstall my collection to my HDD. I've used WinHIIP for this in the past, but I understand now that this can cause problems (and, in fact, did cause some problems for me, thus the reinstall), so I'm trying to switch to hdl_dump. I'm comfortable with...

    PS2 Is it ok to use actual MCs with OPL for all games ?

    Official OPL 1.0.0. I don't do this anymore anyway -I switched to FHDB- so this is going from what I remember.

    PS2 Is it ok to use actual MCs with OPL for all games ?

    Only if you try to save to or load from the card in Slot 2. The card in Slot 1 should work like usual.

    PS2 Is it ok to use actual MCs with OPL for all games ?

    I haven't used VMCs at all with OPL yet, but so far real memcards have worked with pretty much everything I've tried. I'm pretty new to this, so I admit I've only tried a few games, but so far they're okay, including a couple that apparently aren't compatible with VMCs. The one issue I've run...

    PS2 Possibilities with MechaCon code execution

    Congratulations! This is wonderful news. Keeping my fingers crossed that you folks can figure out a way around the DEV9 problem.

    Is there an actual section for the "PSX." (The DVR system)

    I think the PSX is considered a kind of PS2.

    OPL 1.0 possibly not seeing CFG files?

    Took me a while to get back to this, but I finally cut out the cfg files I wasn't using, and that seems to have fixed it. Thanks!

    PS2 What's the difference between OSSC, RetroTink-2x-Pro and cheap component to HDMI(1080p) converters ?

    I'd say mostly bullshit. I agree that it can't truly anti-alias the image, and the claims about color are also crap, and none of this inspires confidence in that "low lag time" claim. But at least according to RetroRGB's tests, the claims of 1-ms lag are actually more or less legit. That...

    PS2 What's the difference between OSSC, RetroTink-2x-Pro and cheap component to HDMI(1080p) converters ?

    So despite all taking your console's native video in and putting HDMI out, the three devices you've mentioned here are quite different in a number of ways. Starting with the cheap converters, most of them don't upscale or even deinterlace: they just convert the console's video into something...

    PS2 Should I buy the OSSC ?

    Game modes typically don't do anything special to enhance the picture, but since those enhancements typically aren't designed for games, the picture often ends up looking better anyway.

    OPL 1.0 possibly not seeing CFG files?

    Currently abiut 60, all PS2 (my TV doesn't support 240p, so I'm saving up for a Tink before I bother ripping my PS1 games). I went for the whole collection in the hopes of never having to worry about CFGs again after that, but, well, here we are.
