PS2 [Testers Needed] MX4SIO - WIP SD Compatibility Thread

Jeremy9566 · Jun 21, 2023

My sd card (Kingston Canvas Select Plus 64gb) stopped working with the latest mx4sio version, BDM 4.8. The previous CCV2 worked fine.
Here are the logs of the card, with the latest debugger:

New builds to address the compatibility issues reported on non-DECKARD PS2s

OPL BDM 4.8.1: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t5krvpzgca767i3/OPL_BDM_4.8.1.elf?dl=0
SDCD 0.4.1: https://github.com/qnox32/sdcd/releases/download/v0.4.1/sdcd_v0.4.1.elf

is the recent "GSM Fix" implemented in these versions?

O-P-L-Fighter · Jun 26, 2023

What does the GSM fix do?

If you're referring to this, then yes.

Carloss · Jun 26, 2023

thanks! another question... is ZSO and MX4SIO usually bad news right?

Not too sure, I've never personally used it. Though I hear ZSO is somewhat CPU heavy which might pose a problem.

TnA · Jun 27, 2023

It/ZSO seems to work well for many games, but not all yet.

OPL instantly freezes when launched on SCPH-7500x. Even with no MX4SIO installed. Any ideas?
Using OPL BDM 4.8.1 and 4.8

You could try backing up your OPL config, deleting it, and seeing if it still freezes. Does it also freeze with other OPL builds?
Also, 4.8 is not recommend due to several bugs, it's better to use 4.8.1.

Sometimes ZSO works where even ISO won't. Here are my reports: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

that's for USB and SMB.... not MX4SIO

1052 · Jul 9, 2023

@Carloss, can you check these reports on MX4SIO? I would check it myself, but I don't have MX4SIO. I also added the sixth report to the previous post.

qnox32 · Jul 16, 2023

Update: As of 07/16/23 all of the changes have been merged upstream. It's advised to use the latest OPL beta going forward. For the time being there will be no new BDM builds.

Super Mario 64 port PS2, not working in MX4SIO.

TnA · Jul 20, 2023

I suppose you boot it as ISO?
Try it as ELF?!?

pedroalonso · Jul 20, 2023

Hi, with ISO SM64 working very good in USB, but only in MX4SIO crashed black screen. I realized more tests and ELF crashed too.

It seems that it is a problem with the MC0 and MC1 ports. It is as if when running the MX4SIO (in an MC port), it creates a conflict when saving the game and finally not working. That's why in USB it works good (and DVD too).

I don't know if OPL can fix this for MX4SIO, the slus game are these: SLUS_623.90. I have contacted the github of the developer of the ps2 port for help and he answers me (I don't know if in a mocking tone) that he does not have a ps2.

Thanks of all.

I tried the beta build 2022 and it seem like it's at least missing one feature from the CCV2+GRIM build: it can't use MX4SIO when a USB storage is plugged in. In the CCV2+GRIM build both USB and MX4SIO got mounted and was selectable with the D-pad, but with build 2022 only USB is selectable.

Not sure if you still need test logs, but here's one I gathered from a SanDisk 128GB Extreme PRO, model: SDSQXCD-128G-GN6MA

It seems to load games ok, but video playback is extremely choppy and it deadlocks sometimes. I might try the latest version

I tried with OPL BDM 4.8.1: and the stuttering and freezing problems seem to be gone. Performance seems pretty good. There is a weird issue where I can't seem to switch to MX4SIO on OPL if I have a USB thumb drive inserted.
