So starting off, Ive got a HDD setup on an Apple Airport Extreme router, that is shareable as an SMB share. Let me share with you what Ive done so far, and what troubles Ive come across and realized. You will get a screen like this, select file browser, select mass, select the opl.elf from there.After that u should see your OPL(Open PS2 Loder)screen just press X on USB games,if u have done all things correctly u will see your games just press X and enjoy. However upon trying to set up the Network config within Open PS2 Loader I seem to be getting stuck trying to connect to the SMB share. After installation disconnect your hd and lets come to the ps2.īoot with your desired method and open the ulaunchelf. To install the game on your hard drive, insert your ps2 cd/dvd select cd or dvd in the program, type the name and select start install.And also copy your opl file into the hard drive. Now format your external hard drive with this software in the disk format section.

When you will open this file, you will get a program like above. Now you will get a zip file, open with any compatible software and extract the file. Either rip them into the USB extreme format or simply make the iso files of the game as the new version of the opl has features to execute the iso file. Now comes the slow part, ripping games to the hard drive. This will help you to execute the games from your external hard drive.

The software is called OPL or open ps2 loader. Now download the this software from here. Now you need the apps, they are uLaunchelf cd/dvd or on your exploited mmc, download from here. You can use pen drives but the performance will be horrible and most of the games will not run. Firstly the most important, you will have to get your ps2 mod chipped or you must have a swap magic disc or an exploited memory card and a USB hard drive (Which has an external power source). You will be needing some additions rather than your ps2. Ever tried to play a game off usb hard drive on a ps2? Whoa! sounds interesting, lets check out. Since the time it has been launched many homebrew apps, hacks and tweaks are there which does interesting things to the console. If you are on OFW you also have the option to run OPL via Swap Magic. It can be used on a PS3 as well, which is the only way to load games from USB or SMB, though FMV and heavy loading games may stutter. Playstation 2 is a since the time it has been launched and it is still going great in its eleventh year. Open PS2 Loader (OPL) is a PS2 scene homebrew which allows you to run PS2 backups and homebrew content.
