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

[r1vver]

Peeps who know how to use the search on GitHub issues use v1.2.0-Beta-2049-513e9b3 (at least as of 2024-01-21) and don't cough.
It sounds incredible, but it's a fact.

What? What issue are you talking about?

I've just gotten one of these going, but I'm having a strange issue. If I have the MX4SIO plugged in while I boot the console, go through FreeMCB, and then run wLaunchELF, it doesn't show up. However, if I unplug and replug the MX4SIO while in wLaunchELF, it will show up. Same thing with OPL. It won't show up until I unplug and replug. Once I do that, games launch and work fine in OPL.

Anyone have any ideas? It seems like something is putting the MC1 slot into the wrong mode or something? Or maybe issuing some command that puts the SD card to sleep or something? I am using an ancient version of FreeMcBoot, but wLaunchELF and OPL are current builds.

He is referring to the "issues" section of the Official OPL Github, which can be found here:
https://github.com/ps2homebrew/Open-PS2-Loader/issues

If I have the MX4SIO plugged in while I boot the console, go through FreeMCB, and then run wLaunchELF, it doesn't show up.

For me all I have to do is select mass, go back, and then select mass again and it turns into MX4SIO.
I assume you are using El_isra's wLE-MX4SIO:
https://github.com/israpps/wLaunchELF_ISR/releases/download/latest/BOOT-EXFAT-MX4SIO.ELF

However, if I unplug and replug the MX4SIO while in wLaunchELF, it will show up. Same thing with OPL. It won't show up until I unplug and replug. Once I do that, games launch and work fine in OPL.

Make sure you don't have a USB plugged in, OPL has MX4SIO problems when USB storage is present AFAIK.

I am using an ancient version of FreeMcBoot, but wLaunchELF and OPL are current builds.

• I would encourage you to update FreeMCBoot, unrelated:
  https://github.com/israpps/FreeMcBoot-Installer/releases/tag/latest
• I would encourage you to switch to OPL Beta v1.2.0-Beta-2049-513e9b3:

Finally, at least someone began to arrange and compile _actual_ information in a way of the so-called "entrance" section of the forum, something that can be pinned as "stickies".
Thematic (problem-oriented) information compilations/FAQs (and not abstract, single-program-oriented ones) are something that is definitely missing here (at least in PS2 sector).

Hello, how is mx4iso performance right now? Has it improved since 2022? I have not catched up with the updates

 

[marcocappo]

[r1vver]

Sure!
All the components in the project are completely unnecessary, they were shoved there only to prevent peeps from having free piracy fun!

Hi, i haven't used PS2 for about a year. What changed in MX4SIO? Are Sandisk cards detected? What about exfat? What is latest OPL for MX4SIO?

 

[LordOfTheShadows]

I wish I could use this as a regular PS2 memory card.

hi, i have the exact problem, did you figure it out?

Anyone know why a MX4SIO with a microSD formatted in FAT32 is working fine in OPL, but when I format it as exFAT it doesn't detect the games?

Check your cluster size when formatting
Recommended is 32K(32768 bytes)/64K(65536 bytes).
128K is asking for problems.

What console model do you have? Is it a DECKARD or a pre-DECKARD slim?

Do you mean no games up in the games list? I found that going back to OPL main menu, unplugging and replugging the memory card, then going into the games list again will always show up the games. Alternatively, if you don't want to get up, you can just exit OPL into PS2 Browser, then relaunch OPL and it will list the games.

Thank you to everyone involved in this project from indonesia

Hai, saya sudah tidak menggunakan PS2 selama sekitar satu tahun. Apa yang berubah di MX4SIO? Apakah kartu Sandisk terdeteksi? Bagaimana dengan exfat? Apa OPL terbaru untuk MX4SIO?

Perfect

 

[Junot]

Prfect for me,mean

Its a PS2 Slim 90001.

Its a PS2 Slim 90001.

Your console may have certain issues with I/O in terms of modern-day devices like the MX4ISO. I'm not too sure though
