PS2 Newcomer here, Looking to setup POPS

Hi all, I've had a ps2 for the longest time but have never got the chance to get into the homebrew and modding scene.
I currently have a psxmemcard gen2 which has been awesome so far but overwelming to say the least setting it all up. I'm just looking for the best way to setup POPS on it as tutorials I have found don't mention much about the memcard way unless I'm completely missing something.

Just thought I would introduce myself anyway. Any direction or help would be appreciated and any other emulators or additions I should add to the memcard.
 
Thanks for your reply, So I would essentially just follow the USB setup for popstarter then setup the MMCEMAN for POPSTARTER [TEST BUILD to run the games from the memcard?
 
POPStarter not supporting anything but internal APA disk, USB and SMB. To use it with eg MX4SIO or MMCE, you need do it like for USB, but on PS2 Memory Card (or VMC of course if you have MMCE), place wrapper for USB which will trick POPStarter.
 
When you say place wrapper for USB, what does that mean sorry I don't know what that means.
Following the guides so far I think I have a setup ready to try.

Also with psxvcd is that the same as using cue2POPS? or are they 2 completely different things?
 
Basically you have to follow the USB tutorial:
https://web.archive.org/web/2023120...arter-documentation-stuff/wiki/quickstart-usb.

In short your files should be instead of a USB on MMCE (the MMCE should be in right port so mmce1):
mmce1:/POPS/POPS_IOX.PAK
mmce1:/POPS/XX.GAME.ELF -> mmce1:/POPS/XX.Rayman.elf
mmce1:/POPS/GAME.VCD -> mmce1:/POPS/Rayman.VCD

It is very important to add XX. prefix like for USB.

Copy "usbd.irx" & "usbhdfsd.irx" from MMCEMAN for POPSTARTER [TEST BUILD]
to mc0:/POPSTARTER (a memory card on the left side).

Launch XX.Rayman.elf through El_Isra's fork wLaunchELF
or even SP193's fork of wLaunchELF.
That's it.
