Mod ps2 is godlike, but you are terribly late anon. I've played almost everything worthy on the system at this point. Once PS3 mod becomes legit, I will dive in head first. Have fun anon.

the best way to pirate games once you've got free mcboot installed is to use open PS2 loader and play games from a hard drive

Why not just emulate them?

>>321609345
This, buy a hard drive and the HDD adapter and you're set for a good time

PS2 emulation doesn't work very well. Many games are listed as "playable" but that just means you can play them from start to finish. It says nothing about how well they'll play.

Can't you also use a usb flash drive as well?

>>321610218
it's possible, but the PS2's USB ports are USB 1.1 which is slower than the disc drive. that means longer loading times, and problems in games like stuttering videos. it's far from ideal.
if you absolutely can't use an internal hard drive to play games, streaming games over the network is a better choice than that.

If i do this can I play namco x capcom with the english patch?

>>321611131
Of course! English full patched version has also been out for quite some time

At this point you may as well emulate, the only advantage to using an actual PS2 is for the bootup, and I'm sure you can probably emulate the startup as well

Thanks man im gonna look more into this

I have a slim, can I use a HDD or am I stuck with networking ISOs?

the 007 method is pretty simple.

Basically what you do is play the game until the second level, save, and then create a modified backup dvd of 007:AUF that includes a program called ulaunchelf.

Then you start the game up and go to the level select. While you're on the level select you swap the OG 007:AUF disc with the modded dvd backup (this is the only part that requires taking the cover off)

You select level 2 and it boots into ulaunchelf. from there you can transfer the FMCB files from your usb flash drive to your memory card and your good to go.

also if you're playing games via DVD you have to patch the iso with the ESR patcher before you burn it. wasted like 3 dvds the first time i tried doing it.

You can also burn PS1 backups on CDs, unfortunately the only way to play them is by doing a swap trick with an actual ps1 game via a program called PSXlauncher.elf.

yeah you can do it either way (dvd or hdd). all english patches/undubs/mods will work
