    PS2 Hacking the PS2

    I run FHDB and OPL, no HDDOS. 1.5TB drive via a sata adaptor, 2TB is the maximum. I copied the latest FMCB installer to USB and ran it from uLE. Press R1 to change page to the FHDB installation option. This formats the HDD and sets it up with FHDB so you no longer need the FMCB card, other than...

    PS2 Hacking the PS2

    Some apps seem to default to 192.168.0.10 or use what is set in hdd0:/__sysconf/FMCB/IPCONFIG.DAT (Text file, open in notepad++), some will use DHCP. I reserved 192.168.0.10 in DHCP on my router, that way if a given app is using DHCP or a static IP it will be fine. Adding games: -Download the...

    As long as you convert the bin/cue from a CD game to .iso correctly (opl manager works well) they should load fine, I've added a bunch.

    PS2 wLaunchELF Release Thread

    Sorry, I meant that I had the same freezing issue with the ps2poweroff option in wle when the NA was disconnected, but the poweroff elf you linked works with or without the network adaptor. Same results as you :)

    I went with a 1.5TB 2.5", shucked from a usb drive (cheaper than buying the drive alone). Really just for the power/heat/noise reasons. It's ridiculous how much quieter the system is compared to the old 320GB 3.5" Maxtor PATA drive that I had in there before. See what other's with more...

    I had that same issue so disabled windows firewall to rule it out. Win10 notifications are still whinging at me about it :)

    Thank you for the new version :) I tested with 0817A from my desktop PC. Sorry to say that the first game I attempted to install got to 99% then gave the following error. There was no ~90 second delay between hitting 99% and the error being given as there is with the 'connection lost' error, it...

    Transferring pops games with radhostclient makes me long for 7MB/sec from HDLGameInstaller, even with its quirks :)

    Hi, I set up my ps2 with FHDB a year or so ago, and just recently modded the network adaptor with the same AbitTop SATA adaptor: https://i.imgur.com/tXD9wx9.jpg I'm afraid I cant offer any help with actually creating a FMCB card using action replay as I got a friend to create one for me and...

    Yes it is enabled: Link mode:100Mbps FDX Flow-control: Enabled It's odd that the issue always (for me) occurs at 99%, where it would normally pause for a second or two then succeed. As though the transfer was successful for the several GB of data but it is then having a problem performing or...

    PS2 HDLGameInstaller

    I'm very thankful for sp193 and other devs continued work on PS2. I was very late to the party and dont think I would have been able to get it up and running without the more recent tools. Running OPL games on a PS2 slim from an SMB share hosted on a raspberry pi was nice and self contained, but...

    PS2 HDLGameInstaller

    :) I thought it may possibly be of some use but very much understand its an old tool for an old console. Just a console that lets me play a lot of great lightgun games properly, no nasty IR tracking, so I love it. Another 6 games transferred using 0817 and my netbook, no '99% issues' so far. I...

    The failing at 99% seems to have started after version 0813, although I do seem to recall it happening very occasionally witn 0813 when I first set up my network adaptor about a year ago. I've spent much of today testing and it does appear that the problems at 99% occur on my main PC, but not...

    I am also having the same issue as jolek when using HDLGameInstaller-0817. Installation gets to 99%, stays there for about a minute then gives the 'connection to the console has been lost' error. Intel(R) 82579V NIC through an old netgear N750 modem/router. After this I've tested with the...
