    PS2 OPL - BlueRetro Core Controller / Fight Sticks not working on some games fully?

    I was playing 1945 I & II: The Arcade Games and I noticed the Start Button refused to work on the game start screen. I had to re-boot and plug in my Playstation 1 controller (didn't test with PS2 controller but my guess is it would work) There seems to be a problem with joysticks too. Someone...

    PS2 games darker?

    I guess this is probably the case. Dragon Quest looks pretty vibrant so it must be alright. My worry was if the blacks were crushed but that is why I did the PS1 to PS2 compare with SaGa and it matches apart from a bit of color tone.

    PS2 games darker?

    It has been a long time since I played a PS2 and back then it was on a CRT. Now I'm using S-Video cables into my RetroTHINK 2x and into my BenQ monitor which supports 240p-1080i/p. I'm finding games like Baldur's Gate DA 1 seem pretty dark in the menus. There is a brightness option in game that...

    PS2 FAT - Transfer games from PC to SSD?

    I got a 3d printed one, just need to file it down a bit to fit. I'll load up my SSD to the max, then I'll manage it via Ethernet later. Thanks for the replies!

    PS2 FAT - Transfer games from PC to SSD?

    I have two adapters, the OG PS2 Network one with the IDE and Ethernet ports. I can use this board to add SATA support while retaining ethernet. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002912278512.html My second adapter I'm using is just the SATA one without the ports, the GameStar one. My goal...

    PS2 FAT - Transfer games from PC to SSD?

    This was the adapter I was looking at - I also only use SSDs. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002912278512.html There isn't much to this, just attach the ribbon and screw in the PCB. I'll check out those other options then - but I should ask what the transfer speed is with the PS2 via...

    PS2 FAT - Transfer games from PC to SSD?

    I have the OG Network Adapter for my FAT PS2 with the Ethernet ports and IDE drive connections, I also got a SATA one but sadly it does not having working ports for Ethernet. I'm thinking of buying the board on Aliexpress to mod my OG one but is it possible to transfer games from my PC via...

    DVD-R or +R or RW? For FAT PS2 50001 mod chipped

    Thank you. I'll compare the DL list here http://wikibin.org/articles/list-of-playstation-2-dvd-9-games-2.html with the OPL list to see which ones have a problem and if I would even play those. Right now I can buy 100 DVD+R for around $20, and 50 DVD-R for $20 with a sale currently online.

    DVD-R or +R or RW? For FAT PS2 50001 mod chipped

    Okay, thanks! Just wanted to be sure. Someone wrote on reddit that -r are easier on the laser than +r but I don't know the truth of that so I thought to check which was the best. I know this version of my PS2 supports +r and they're also cheaper to buy.

    DVD-R or +R or RW? For FAT PS2 50001 mod chipped

    I'm looking to get some DVDs to burn games that have compatibility issues with OPL. I'm not sure what the best format would be? -R, +R, or a RW one? I've played some of my PS1 backups just fine using Verbatim CD-Rs, so I'll be getting the Verbatim DVDs.

    BlueRetro Core with Wii Adapter Power?

    Yea it isn't a big deal the problem is easily resolved with the external power supply to the BlueRetro Core. I just wish I didn't have to add another plug to the mix, especially when I like my Wii Remote to be wireless. This would force me to have a wired connection, unless I use a power bank...

    BlueRetro Core with Wii Adapter Power?

    I'm just thinking the BlueRetro requires more jucie than 3V. My Nintendo Wii Classic Controller Pro works with my Wii Remotes without any issue. My BlueRetro Core works with all my other systems with their respective adapters as well. After looking some more I think the problem is the...

    BlueRetro Core with Wii Adapter Power?

    The Wii Remote just stays as is with the AA batteries. The BlueRetro Core is what I'm using an external power source for to power it on as it cannot draw enough from the Wii Remote. This core doesn't provide any power source to the actual Wii Remote itself. I then attach the adapter which plugs...

    BlueRetro Core with Wii Adapter Power?

    I'm only using disposable AAs at the moment. I guess I'll either use a power bank or usb to a wall adapter to get some extra juice.

    BlueRetro Core with Wii Adapter Power?

    I have a BlueRetro Core I use for my GameCube, PS1, and other systems without any issue. I noticed when I got the Wii adapter it doesn't seem to power the core properly, as if it needs an external source. I did test it by plugging in my core to a micro usb and it works. Some people posted online...

    Hacking PS1/2 Homebrew app APrip - Patch Out Additional Anti-Piracy Copy Protection Found In Some Later PSX Games

    Since I didn't have a PS2 or any other way to get FreePSXBoot for a PS One as there is no Parallel I/O port, the only option I found was to use a Unirom boot disc to install FreePSXBoot to a memory card so I can boot into Unirom. Is what you're describing different? I thought FreePSXBoot and...

    Hacking PS1/2 Homebrew app APrip - Patch Out Additional Anti-Piracy Copy Protection Found In Some Later PSX Games

    Thanks. What I currently use on the SCPH-101 is just FreePSXBoot which is applied to the memory card via https://unirom.github.io/ I have Unirom on a burnt disc and just pop in a memory card to slot 2 and install it, then use that. I'm guessing this is the same as...

    Hacking PS1/2 Homebrew app APrip - Patch Out Additional Anti-Piracy Copy Protection Found In Some Later PSX Games

    Thank you. I did test it on system (scph-101) which only uses FreePSXBoot, and it will not go further than that screen either. I haven't tried TonyHax Int. (never used it before, just FreePSXBoot via Unirom).

    Hacking PS1/2 Homebrew app APrip - Patch Out Additional Anti-Piracy Copy Protection Found In Some Later PSX Games

    Thanks for all the great work on this! Was there a fix to get games like Yu-Gi-Oh to work now? I did a test with psx 1.13 and it still hangs on the Konami screen and times just the Playstation screen. I haven't done a burn yet to check on actual hardware.
