Kinda difficult to put all of your game discs into the PS2
Comment on Run Your PS2 Library from a $50 Memory Card Effortlessly

That’s cool and all, but you can probably run your entire PS2 library from stuff you already own.

You can install a hard drive and burn your games to it.

I have my ps2 games on my Nas and set up a share that Open Ps2 Loader could access, except the games that don’t work like that which u have on an internal ssd, this sounds like a much easier solution I could have done instead of needing to get an oem network adapter, a hard drive, a sata adapter board, a d all the configuration and freemcboot… sounds like this would replace all that… if I wasn’t already set up I would have gone this route.

Woah woah slow down, this sounds like more fun. What is your setup?
pleasejustdie@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
what do you mean my setup? I have a fat PS2 with an OG network adapter that I removed the IDE board from and replaced with a SATA board and attached a SSD to it. Network cable runs from the network adapter to the wall, I have lots of magic behind the wall, and then it comes out at the NAS where I have a share where all the games are digitally backed up while the discs store dust in a box in my closet. Only game I currently run off the SSD since it won’t work over the NAS is FF10-2, and really the only reason I even ripped it was because that’s how I felt when the game came out…

I mean that. I thought open loader 2 was some streaming platform or something.

If you have a relatively powerful computer or phone, and your library only contains games from the console’s top 100 or so, you’re probably right.

Some people like to play on original hardware but I guess this still being emulation makes that a little cloudy. I certainly couldn’t justify it. I own a computer and wireless controller, so as you said.
