Loading PS2 Games from a Network SMB Server with Windows 10 and OPL

In this tutorial I show how to setup a SMB file server for use with the open PS2 loader. This allows the ps2 to load games from a computer that is attached to the local network. This is much faster than playing games stored on a USB Flash drive plugged into the PS2.
Please leave a comment below if you are stuck or need help.

Good tutorial! If you don't want to move files into the public folder on the C drive, you can just right click the folder where you have them stored and under the "security" tab click "edit" and add "ps2" to the list of users who can access the folder. Make sure to tick all of the "allow" boxes and you are golden. Everything else in the tutorial still applies and your games can stay where they are (in my case a 2TB HDD instead of my smaller C drive SSD) . Hope this helps someone!

If you don't want to make an account on your pc called ps2, you can just untick the setting in windows requiring an account on this pc to access the shared folder. This tutorial helped me realize that was the holdup. Thank you!

This is a perfectly concise video, I simply love it. My laptop is connected to the router via Wifi and PS2 is wired to the same router, with this setup cutscenes lag much less (before they were basically unwatchable), and loading times are a quarter of what they used to be as well. Thank you so much, dude. I guess the ideal setup would be also games being transferred via ethernet or the USB port of the modem itself? But honestly mine is the most convenient one for me so I don't even mind.

I wouldn't enable SMB 1.0 on a network connected machine because of the security exploit, some of the oldest ransomware uses SMB 1.0 to spread to shares and computers. This is why is disabled by default on Windows 10, MS even disabled it through a one off patch to Windows 7 after the Wannacry attack. The ideal situation would be to use a single board computer like a raspberry pi 3 and a cheap external harddrive so you can keep it off the network. Unfortunately single board computers are 3-4x the normal price at the moment for some reason. You can buy a 10 watt Celeron N5015 system off Ali with 4 nics, run proxmox and install windows 10 as a vm, follow this tutorial and keep it off the network for less money.

Yeah it should work over wifi depending on the router. As for folder location I recommend keeping it in the public user folder as there are less hoops to jump through to get the windows permissions to allow it.

I suggest trying out UDPBD, it's a faster alternative to SMB. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIuTmYSuodl7nrc

Is dropping a game ISO all you need to do or are there additional steps?

Some games do require certain modes to be enabled, for example Ratchet and Clank needs modes 3 + 6. This can be configured within the opl game list. Using opl manager you can download cover art but this is completely optional.

Hello ! Does this works if I plug my ps2 directly into my pc by Ethernet wire ? Thanks
@MegaBitmap
@MegaBitmap 9 ай бұрын
Yes this works. Direct attach does require you to set a static IP address on both the pc and ps2. Something like this: PC - 192.168.0.15 Subnet mask - 255.255.255.0 Default gateway - 192.168.0.1 PS2 - 192.168.0.20 Subnet mask - 255.255.255.0 Default gateway - 192.168.0.1

Followed everything to the T and upon saving changes in OPL Settings I was greeted with an error reading "Network Drive not found" or something like that. I disconnected everything and went back to ensure the network adapter was firmly secured to the PS2, and upon opening OPL again, I was greeted with Error 304. Does this have anythign to do with my OPL version? My FMCB card came with v1922. Any assistance is appreciated.

My guess is that your local network/router is blocking the network share. Firstly I would try to connect to the smb share using the "crossover" method. You need to set a static ip for both your computer and ps2 in opl settings (disable dhcp). I don't know if it would have any affect but I would recommend updating your freemcboot memory card to v1.966. Version 1.92 was released way back in 2013

@@MegaBitmap wow, thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I was able to sort it out and I can get successful boots of LOTR ROTK and R&C through the network adapter, no crossover. Phew. Is there any sort of information I should keep in my back pocket re: optimizing games? Scouring the forums I hear adjusting Modes 1 & 3 are the first step when moving past things. Seeming to get slow loads on in-game cutscenes. Any tips for optimizing further? Feel free to slap a link down if you don’t want to type it out
