I am not sure if I made a mistake along the way with usbutil or something. Some have the black screen when I try to run them. I can only get 3 out of the 7 games to run though.
How to set up ps2 usb games install#
I used usbutil to install them onto the flash drive. I am using a 128Gb flash drive to run my ps2 games from. I was able to install freemcboot onto a memory card and I have OPL 0.9.3 installed. Is there any way I could get any logs for OPL? Or maybe a simple modification to OPL to alert on the screen when the USB device disconnects (as that's what I think its happening)?Įdit: To add, this issue is present with ALL games I try, even with OPL apps, so I'd say it's obvious that it is not a specific game issue but an issue with the USB drive and OPL.Hi, I am fairly new to the ps2 exploit scene. I've compiled your repo myself, the only other possibility is that it compiled wrong or without you fix, which I don't think happened as I cloned the correct branch and I used the latest SDK. I have no other USB3 drive to compare, only USB2 which work fine.

It's like the drive "crashes".Īs you said, it may as well bean issue with the 128GB version. If it was off when I load a game the light stays off, if it was at half brightness then it freezes like that, etc. Well, the light in my drive gets stuck in its current position whenever I load a game. The USB drive has the blue indicator light that pulses slowly when inactive and strobes a little faster slower when in use. If you want I can record a video showing the thing. To better describe the issue, it seems that the USB drive freezes. Is there any way that I could provide some kind of log or something that logs all the activity of OPL and issues that may arise? How probable would be that the issue resides on some reading error because of the fast speeds (at least topping 1.1 speeds and also the faster access times compared to old drives) or because of fast reading "blocks" of data or something? I usually use my old and reliable Kingston DataTraveler G3 for everything, but the PS2 ignores it's existence (I know about Kingston drives and PS2 not being good friends), so I'm left with other low capacity drives or my fast and large capacity (that I also now know to be unreliable) SanDisk.Īs I said I'm not planning on using it for the long term so I'll try to find a temporary solution until I get to put on the SMB server.Įdit: It also makes sense that it disconnects while the initial heavy reading is done and thus taking more current than it should, so yeah, now it all makes sense.Įdit 2: I've tried the powered hub and the USB still disconnects while loading :'(. I'll try a powered hub (I have one with a 2A PSU, it should be plenty), if that solves the issue then most likely it's the current draw that is the issue as you said. Oh I see, so they draw a lot of current, that explains why all the USB devices attached disconnect. There are more games but they replicate the same behaviour as te previously mentioned games.Need For Speed Underground 2: Gets stuck to a black screen, then stuck at the "Play Station 2" screen, then it loads.Harry Potter Quidditch World Cup: Gets stuck to a black screen, then stuck at the "Play Station 2" screen, then at the first loading screen, then it loads.Gran Turismo 4: Gets stuck at the disclaimer screen prior to the first intro video, then it loads.Disabling either of those or both at the same time didn't change the result, games still got stuck. I re-insert the drive, finishes loading and lets me play: I expected games to fully load just like with the "SiliconPower "The Simpsons" USB 2.0 8GB drive. Get stuck at any point while the game loads.Load any game (with PADEMU and VMC enabled to mimic my setup).Use the same USB drive (or something equivalent to it I guess) to load games.Information about affected games (if any): All games.Console Model: SCPH-79001 with latest FMCB (1.966) and no modchip.If I use another USB drive ( SiliconPower "The Simpsons" USB 2.0 8GB), config files and games take longer to load but never get stuck and I can play without issues.īoth USB drives are FAT32 formatted and fully defragmented. Some games eventually get stuck again and removing and re-inserting the USB drive solves the loading issue again.

If I remove the USB drive in question an re-insert it, the game continues to load starts working again. Controller inputs stop being recognised (original PS2 and PADEMU controllers) when games get stuck.

USB games get stuck when loading with a specific USB drive ( SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0 128GB), each game at a different time.
