A new innovation in the retro gaming community now allows you to run your entire PS2 library directly from a $50 memory card, thanks to the Multi-Purpose Memory Card Emulation (MMCE) protocol.
That’s cool and all, but you can probably run your entire PS2 library from stuff you already own.
I have my ps2 games on my Nas and set up a share that Open Ps2 Loader could access, except the games that don’t work like that which i have on an internal ssd, this sounds like a much easier solution I could have done instead of needing to get an oem network adapter, a hard drive, a sata adapter board, a d all the configuration and freemcboot… sounds like this would replace all that… if I wasn’t already set up I would have gone this route.
Woah woah slow down, this sounds like more fun. What is your setup?
what do you mean my setup? I have a fat PS2 with an OG network adapter that I removed the IDE board from and replaced with a SATA board and attached a SSD to it. Network cable runs from the network adapter to the wall, I have lots of magic behind the wall, and then it comes out at the NAS where I have a share where all the games are digitally backed up while the discs store dust in a box in my closet. Only game I currently run off the SSD since it won’t work over the NAS is FF10-2, and really the only reason I even ripped it was because that’s how I felt when the game came out…
I mean that. I thought open loader 2 was some streaming platform or something.
Nope homebrew ps2 app to load games from hdd, usb, or ethernet
Probably cheaper/better to use a 2.5" hard drive. Though I guess this works with Slims as well
Yeah, I saw this AFTER I installed the IDE Resurrector in my slim. JFC. So much soldering. So much troubleshooting.
From my experience using mem2sio to run games from an SD card is that the memory card slot causes issues with certain games causing issues from lagging cutscenes, long load times, and freezes. Are those fixed in this version or is it similar as far as compatibility goes?
