Play PS1 Games From PS2 USB Using Popstarter and OPL Tutorial (2019)

[@advang4820]

Thanks for this tutorial. I thought playing PS1 games was just as easy as putting PS1 ISO to the drive and worked like PS2 did. I managed to play Nascar Rumble and it works great.

[@daoyang1562]

Thanks man. I realized I needed to update my OPL for this to work. Wasn’t sure how to do it until I ran across your video.

[@Al3ss4ndroS3R1]

if i update OPL, the config files of games change or else?

[@Xgxor]

Thank you so much!! I'm trying to play an old Tiger Woods game with my old man (lots of memories) and I couldn't get them to work! Stupid me thought the OPL could just read PS1 games normally, as if they were PS2 .ISOs!! I seriously can't thank you enough for this video, it means a lot to both me and my father.

[@bereketsami2848]

its easy just download the boot ps2 without memory i dont know where get that boot if limit using progam 4

[@G.T.01]

Thank you very much! It feels so cool being able to replay the original Crash Bandicoot that made me fall in love with gaming. Much appreciation for your efforts in a making a great step-by-step tutorial and all your time supporting us in the comments too! You're awesome :)

[@BK201Tach]

Thanks very much for this! Didn't realize how simple it was. Have been playing PS1 games off my PS2 HDD for the past few months but whenever I used WinHIIP to fix something with a PS2 game, it seemed to wipe my PS1 games off the HDD or mess up the POPS folder they were in. I finally thought I would just try them on USB so I can avoid this and it works perfectly. For some reason, the PS1 games load up faster too compared to when I played them off HDD and I would have a blank screen for 40-50 seconds.

[@hxclambfan]

To anybody having the issue where when you start a game it boots to the launcher make sure you have a good pops_iox file. Mine kept doing that until I downloaded a new one and now it works. Check that it is the same size as his in the video. The first one I downloaded was 921kb and the games wouldn't start but the other one was 917kb like in the video and it works now.

[@ProjectPhoenixMedia]

Thanks for the insight. I didn't realize I had the "good" one so that is the one I used all the time. Didn't realize there are different versions out there with different file size and that can be an issue.

[@hxclambfan]

@@ProjectPhoenixMedia yeah the file is kind of hard to find honestly so I just downloaded the first one I could find. And I always got the launcher then I noticed today our file sizes were different so I looked for a different one and got it. Saw a few others were having this issue.

[@theoriginaljrest]

@@hxclambfan I installed the latest version of OPL v1.1.0 but mine does not show PS1 games on display option. My pops_iox.pak file is 917kb. Any suggestions?

[@hxclambfan]

@@theoriginaljrest make sure the file path is correct. I accidentally had all the files inside of a second pops folder when I originally tried it causing issues. Other than that's all I could think to try.

[@sethreign8103]

Fixed my issue thanks! 😁

[@etrotm1226]

This video is very helpful. I was able to play Asuka 120%, Mad Stalker, Panzar Bandit, Slap Happy Rhythm Busters and many more games through USB on OPL. I'm glad to finally play them on the big screen. I just wish whoever is responsible for the Popstarter emulator could update the program so I can play Tekken 1 without the sound glitches, and Tekken 3 without the visual glitches, and etc.

[@setoGabes]

Been struggling to make this work for months, I'm so glad that I found your tutorial! Really nice video, it worked like a charm, thank you so so much man!!

[@DeLone14L]

Boutta sell my ps2 along with the TP Link that you introduced. Got PS1 games working on SMB alongside the PS2 games. Thanks for the tutorials

[@ProjectPhoenixMedia]

Glad you got it all figured out. It's maybe a little cumbersome to get it all figured out, but once you got a working setup its pretty awesome to do and show off lol.

[@sewertendo]

The OPL manager renames your VCD files to the "SERIAL.Game.VCD" structure so that OPL can load them. Unless you look up each serial id of each game and rename them yourself, the "batch convert VCD naming" part of OPL manager is mandatory. You kinda mention the file structure in the description, but I was completely skipping this step at first because you mentioned OPL manager was optional (the art part is). Still appreciate this video, just something that threw me off at first.

[@MrFatboy192]

Glad I found your comment couldn't get them to be shown, cheers

[@sprinkleofjasmine5912]

Works in 2024 I was having trouble with OPL not displaying the games in my POPS folder until I named them exactly how this comment said. Serial.game.VCD, the same serial number has the art OPL manager downloads. I’m using OPL 1.10 10th anniversary

[@cbekaroglu]

WOW. It's like you bought me a brand new ps1 or a perfect ps emlator for my tv!

[@jakesteven1980]

It works but the game's compatibility varies. It is best to check its remarks on any PS1 game you want to start so that you can find out their problems until the next update.

[@GhostTower]

wow, i was actually doing this for Twisted Metal 1 lol. now i can watch without worry.

[@UnusualPete]

I followed your video just now and I'm playing Ridge Racer Type 4! 😃 Thanks man! 👍

[@ProjectPhoenixMedia]

Riiiiidge raaaacer!

[@UnusualPete]

@@ProjectPhoenixMedia BTW, the game glitches a lot while playing. The tracks appear hollow, you can see through them. The racing itself is also slow. Is the game incompatible or is it another reason?

[@nathanvella960]

Thank you for this video man iv spent months trying to figure out what im doing wrong but now im using the OPL version your on and it finally works :-)

[@AmirZaimMohdZaini]

Here's some tips for component cable users, mostly YPbPr or Yipper cables and even PS2 HDMI adapter (the black ones) - use GSM to force PS2 to display PS1 games by setting it to NTSC/PAL depending on your game. There's also an option for PS1 HDTV settings but you're might want to stick to default NTSC/PAL mode if the PS1 HDTV settings displays incorrectly. However, there's some caveat - missing colors but minimal and also 240p display tends to be in widescreen so you might need to use TV display settings to adjust the super-widescreen display. It is best to use RGB component cables like SCART cables to enjoy PS1 titles or using good PS1/PS2 HDMI adapters like Pound and Hyperkin as well.

[@ProjectPhoenixMedia]

Pro tip, liked!

[@hymiecamp]

Yep my hdmi to ps2 doesn’t have any settings settings and my tv doesn’t even have a place for composite or component.

[@xxWileyGamingxx]

I’m a little late to the party but if you could help me I’d appreciate it a lot. I use a ps2 to hdmi converter so once I load a ps1 game it just goes black screen, I got the gmc thing and I’m wondering what settings do I put it to I tried the sdtv mode to NTSC but once I load opl the screen gets all glitchy before I can even boot up my ps1 game

[@gentlesirpancakebottoms6692]

My PS2 works great with PS2 games. The reason I'm doing this is for the PS1 games. I've done everything in this video and also updated OPl to the newest version as mine was very old. The problem is that once i quit OPL or restart the console it reverts back to the old OPl. How is this possible? I updated OPL and ran it and the 10 anniversary screen showed up and the PS1 settings were available in the settings. When I quit back to the PS2 menu and starter OPL again it had reverted back to the older version.

[@ProjectPhoenixMedia]

Do you have two different copies of OPL on the memory card, and running the wrong one by accident?

OPL problems So I recently purchased a free mcboot memory card so I could play psx and ps2 games without having to hunt down rare games and spend absurd amounts of money for games that came out over 10 years ago. So I’ve pretty much figured out how to play ps2 games using OPL. Now I’m having problems trying to figure out how to get ps1 games to work. I’ve followed multiple KZbin tutorials, read 100 message threads on the PlayStation home website, and now I’m coming here to hopefully have my problems solved. Basically what I’ve done is updated my OPL to the newest version, I’ve downloaded all the things I need for popstarter, OPL manager, etc. I did everything the tutorials said to do. So I finally manage to get the original Crash Team Racing to show up on my games list, and when I press run, it goes black and closes out OPL and goes to my memory card screen. I also converted the .cue file to .VCD. Anyone know how to fix this before I break my computer? Lol

I tried a few different OPL builds and none of them loaded. Do I maybe need to erase the very old (0.93 or something) build currently on my PS2? Because I tried just loading OPL from the main menu in FMCB and it wasn't the new build but just the same I've had on there for a long time

Give that a try, follow the text guides at ps2 home. Not sure why you are having issues, just make sure got all necessary required files, and use opl manager v21.6 to rename game files properly

I had the same issue! Did you find a fix?

[@ignasscio]

duuuuude I have a question for you. How do you make a vcd file from multiple .bin tracks? :(

There is a video I made on this topic using cdmage.
