I was told the PS2 mightn't provide enough energy to power a 2.5" external HDD so I shouldn't host PS2 games in one when running OPL (I guess the same goes for hosting PS1 games in a 2.5" external HDD when running POPStarter). Others said this isn't true.
What about connecting a 2.5" external HDD to a nano router and playing PS1/PS2 games using POPStarter/OPL via SMB? Would the nano router provide enough energy to power the 2.5" external hDD or I'd have to use another power supply?
Also, shouldn't PS2 games hosted on a 2.5" external HDD connected to a PC or nano router ran on OPL via SMB have the same lag and/or slowdown than if hosted on the PC's HDD/SSD/SSHD/eMMC? If so, why did the game I tried on the latter had less lag and/or slowdown than in the former two?
