PS2 MX4SIO Setup - Play PS2 Games from a Micro SD Card!

[@zell71]

This video is MVP! Ive had my MX4SIO for like 2 years.. couldn’t get it working the first time so gave up. Stumbled across this video and it worked. Amazing. Even got it working with a SANDISC SD 32gb card working using Rufus exFAT format. Thank you.

[@ArchadesGames]

Nice, hope you enjoy your newly setup system, happy gaming!

[@ayellowbeard]

This has got to be one of the best and coherent tutorials on YT and I've watched a lot of them! Very well done, thank you!

[@manicsorceress2181]

I've tested about 80 games over the last few months and there have only been a few (about 4 or 5) that were problematic. For example, the sound in the cutscenes of "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" stutters. But all in all, this is really a great thing. For me, this is the greatest discovery in recent years. Yay, I can definitely recommend it.

[@ArchadesGames]

Very nice!

Thank you for this tutorial video! I was having so many problems trying to get the HDD method working, but MX4SIO was so much simpler to get up and running!

[@SSR_RedDevil]

Another reason I've recently bought the MX4ISO card, is that when you are running games from the network, you can't play games online. A great tutorial. Now to wait for my shiny new wireless controller.

[@DustyD0]

Great guide, very much appreciated! Just a tip for anyone who is stuck with OPL not seeing their games, but seeing there is a storage media there, and being able to view it in LaunchElf, it could be the model of SD card you are using. I was troubleshooting with a Sandisk 32gb for a solid 2 hours trying and retrying everything, then figured as a last ditch effort id try a different model of card, and sure enough the micron I tried worked first try.

[@Xfade81]

Bit late, but to add, this was somewhat the same here. Sandisk didn't work. Luckily i had a Samsung which worked straight away. Then later read that Sandisk almost never works, if at all. And that's basically what i always use. The samsung was because i got it on an amazing deal so, was lucky to have it and not in use.

[@Dudewas]

Is the max GB 128? I keep googling it and it’s what I get however you guys talk about a 32 gb is that the max for this set up?

[@BrianBorkowski]

I hope the compatibility gets better on this device one day

[@SaveAwesomeMatt]

Just got mine set up. Luckily the MCBoot card I got already had the programs I needed to run from the SD. This is really amazing; my disc drive was going, and being able to dump my discs and run from the Memory Card is a godsend!

Always good to be able to save the original discs!

[@omanawawi]

When it save game, where does it save? FMCB?

[@dankochh]

Whenever I set MX4SIO under block devices to on, OPL won't save the settings. Doesn't matter if its on manual or auto, if I select MX4SIO to on, it loads endlessly on the "Saving Config" screen... Do you have any idea on how to solve this?

[@codyraymiller]

WARNING: Keep an extra FMCB memory card around while performing the FMCB uninstallation part. I didn't have an extra one, uninstalled FMCB and when I went to reinstall it, it said there was "insufficient space" for the install. Long story short, I uninstalled and had no way of reinstalling. So... I lost homebrew access on my PS2 and had to buy another FMCB card.

[@boredstudent]

I bought an MC2SIO memory card about 2 years ago, and the games that I had running on it for the most part work but obviously there's issues. I also have a PNY micro SD card. I hear that Samsung and/or SanDisk SD cards have better compatibility. I have both a fat model PS2 and a slim model and maybe it's me but I prefer the HDD method because you don't need format that to FAT32. For a short while, I tried playing a game with a flash drive and that's not something I'll do again.

@@ArchadesGames one more question what do you do with games that’s more then one disc like Xenosaga 3 or star ocean ? Make them separate or make a folder

not work ...bad TUT :(

[@ArchadesGames]

Funny how there are hundreds of comments and a literal video saying the opposite. Might want to recheck your process and try a different SD card.

How is it compared to dvd?

[@ArchadesGames]

Not as fast so some loads are slower. But fast enough that cutscenes haven't had issues yet.

Hello, I have installed mcboot in many memory cards before but now when I try to open the fmcboot installer it just shows a black screen. I tried formatting the usb but that didn't work. Any ideas ?

[@CreativityByRiky]

Getting the same problem

[@CreativityByRiky]

Mine goes right back to the main ps2 menu

[@just_chris2798]

@@CreativityByRiky is your PS2 moded? Because that's a sign of a modded consoles firmware conflicting with opl

[@Lucideyes89]

Would i be able to use a bluetooth usb adapter (for ps4 Controller support) simultaneously without conflict

when i downloaded the files from github, they formatted to ELF files instead PSP Roms. I'm new to this. Is this supposed to happen?

[@ArchadesGames]

They are elf files

@@ArchadesGames i got everything onto the drive and plugged into the ps2. launched elf & there's nothing in the mass pathway to install. madly confused.

I just updated FMCB following the instructions and now uLaunchElf just goes to a black screen and I can’t continue. Same happens with FMCB configurator and other apps, any idea what would be the issue or how to fix?

[@Hespdow]

I managed to fix this. What I did was rename LaunchELF to RESCUE.ELF and put it at the root of my USB stick, this bypassed FMCB and directly launches LaunchELF. I then did a clean install of FMCB version 1.965, and after the installation was done everything started working well! It seems FMCB version 1.966 just didn't want to cooperate.
