It can deliver at about 50MBit/s to a “big” computer. Network throughput maxed at only 12MBit/s on the Raspberry Pi 1b, which provides the samba-server. All intro cutscenes played good via network – no skipping, no crashes. I tried some more games from network share. Loading first level takes 21 sec SMB / 16 sec disk. Loading “Croft Manor” takes 26 sec SMB / 20 sec disk. Loading first level takes about 10 seconds from SMB and 8 sec from disk. I just did some quick tests comparing SMB with original disks in good condition. Network IS slower than DVD but it is usuable.
Mcboot ps2 slim install#
This was my reason to install Free Mcboot in the first place: Not wearing down the laser anymore and no disks lying around. Personally I prefer network/SMB on the slim PS2. Using DVD-backups patched with ESR patcher works considerably better. Many games do not work at all, or cutscenes don‘t play or the games crash. Buying the adapter, possibly an IDE-SATA bridge and a hard disk is pretty expensive for an old console – in my opinion. This weird setup actually worked – slow like number 2 but without any errors.įat PS2 with HDD is super – if you have the network adapter and a suitable IDE-drive. 4: (very cheap USB 2.0 multi card reader made by “Hama”)ģ2GB (Toshiba) mirco-SD card inserted via SD-adapter. Still slow in both directions, but not as bad. And sometimes the memory manager throws a strange error (no space left on device although it is almost empty).ĭrive no.
Mcboot ps2 slim software#
Software Engineer CTurt has successfully exploited the PS2 DVD drive through its DVD-video playback functionality, making it possible for homebrew applications to run on burned discs without the need for any hardware modification (s) or even starting up the system with Free Mcboot. MAX Memory Manager reads and writes from/to USB. FreeDVDBoot: Burn and run PS2 homebrew on an unmodified console. Can’t read the necessary files (for the Free Mcboot installation) from USB-drive.

Total FAIL! Can’t copy files from memory card to USB-drive. It makes me want to smash the console with a sledgehammer. noe the prob em is whn i plug the mem card in my FAT ps2 it only shows black screen nothing else. as mine is PAL so i used ulf to copy and rename BAEXEC-SYSTEM folder using the usb drive and my pc. and i an successful in installing mcboot on his Ps2.

Now I know again, why I hated this method of installing Free Mcboot. i finally got my hands on my friends slim NTSC moded ps2. I took out my PS2 and tried some drives with AR-Max – this gave mixed results. Suggestion: Try some different drives, preferably old ones – and make sure you use FAT16 or FAT32 filesystem and MBR partition table. So… I have only one idea: Action Replay seems to be picky.
