PS2 [Testers Needed] MX4SIO - WIP SD Compatibility Thread

Got my hands on a MX4SIO from amazon, and put in a samsung evo plus 256gb sd. Noticable difference in all games what i tried compared to usb. Some games more and some games less. But overall is working just fine with the latest opl release!
 
I'm running the latest BDM4 on a 79001 which is all working properly. I am just having an issue with my micro SD card displaying all the games. I have some Samsung 256 gigs that all read perfectly so I know it's not the install or the version. But the SD card I'm using is the Moric 512gb micro SD card. It shows about 8 games when I have over 100 games installed in iso format in the dvd folder. The SD card is formatted to exFat. I've tried two of the same SD card with the same result and even tried formatting to FAT32. Not sure why it only shows 8 games but not all. Anyone have any advice to get this thing to work right or is this just a crap SD card?

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.

Thanks for pointing that. I found your CCV2+GRIM build on the first post of this thread. I will take a chance with it.

@qnox32 Is MX4SIO+USB feature from GRIM planned to work again soon or does it got deprecated?

In the latest beta build
For me I have to eject them from the slot and reinject, then I just refresh and I can see one of them. To change between them I have to redo these steps, swapping and refreshing the device.

Btw in my MX4SIO (exFAT) I don't have any Apps, just PS2 games, and in my USB (FAT32) I don't have any PS2 games, just PS1 games as POPStarter APPs (installed using POPs VCD Manager by @El_isra).

In the OPL CCV2+GRIM (A.K.A.: OPL 1.2.0 Beta 1991 CCV2+GRIM) build
OPL List first the USB but when I press my Right DPAD, it changes to the next page/device which is MXSIO4 and when I press one more time it goes to APPs where my POPStarter game/apps from USB are listed as I needed. It works in this special build.

Interesting...it should load automatically. There are some changes in the works to improve card compatibility further and they might inadvertently fix this. I'll @ you when the new builds released

I am having the same issue, I have to reinsert the mx4sio card to populate the opl games list after restarting the ps2 console.

SanDisk / OneTech and Sony works but have some issues i think is due my purchase from Aliexpress

Device : PlayStation 2 Slim 70001 and 90010
Mx4SIO : DataFrog BitFunX
SD Cards: Sandisk Ultra 64gb class 10 , Sony SRAC1 32gb, Generic One Tech 64 gb class 10 allegated
Works : Yes, but games is stuttering, testing with another SD soon.

Games involved:

GoW , GoW 2 , Burnout 3 takedown (USA and Europe)

Issue:

Stuttering and long load times.
 
I have a rather interesting condition, I don't know if other users have the same problem.
I use a Kingston Canvas Select Plus microSD 128GB card and after loading games onto it and using it every few days there are no problems, but after a long period of not using the console, the console is disconnected with the card in the reader, when I try to play it again, some games may freeze on videos , but they work relatively normally, and some may hang while loading and require a console reset.
The problem is fixed by clearing the card and resaving the files, you can even copy them earlier from the same card.
I don't know if it's the fault of the card itself or maybe leaving it in the console.
 
Hey everyone,
I'm planning to purchase a Micro SD card for my MX4SIO, and I've narrowed down my options to two models, both of which are 512 GB:
  1. Samsung EVO Select (2021) 512 GB ME512KA/EU
  2. Samsung PRO Plus 512 GB MB-MD512SA/EU
Both are priced similarly, but I'm leaning towards the PRO Plus due to its faster speed. However, before making the purchase, I want to ensure compatibility with my MX4SIO system. Specifically, I'm concerned about whether MX4SIO can handle a 512 GB card without any issues, especially during gaming sessions.
If there's any risk of compatibility problems with the 512 GB option, I'm willing to compromise and opt for a 256 GB card instead. My priority is to have a stable system, and I'm willing to adjust my storage capacity accordingly.
I'd appreciate any insights or experiences you may have regarding the compatibility of these Micro SD cards with MX4SIO.
Your feedback will greatly assist me in making an informed decision.

Thanks in advance!
