(DO NOT TRY THE HDTV OPTIONS WITHOUT A COMPONENT CABLE, OR OPL TURNS INTO A BLACK SCREEN AND YOU WOULD HAVE TO RESET ALL THE SETTINGS) To activate it, just go in Display settings on the main menu, and choose your video mode on the video mode option Pressing L1 + R1 + L2 + R2 + 元 + R3 (the analog buttons) in-game will turn off the consoleĪnother cool feature included on OPL is the Video Mode Selector, which let's you choose the video mode on your games (Example, PAL games in NTSC and vice versa) Pressing L1 + R1 + L2 + R2 + Start + Select in-game will exit to the PS2 Browser (The screen that appears when you turn on PS2 without a DVD), It can be changed by going into 'Settings > IGR Path' and typing the path to OPL or uLE or any other elf anyway (to make it easier, you can plug a keyboard to the other USB port on the PS2) Starting with IGR (In-game Reset), this feature allows you to just exit OPL without even pressing a button on the console OPL has a lot of neat features other than loading games from usb, and i shall explain some of it now When completed, (if you didn't pointed the conversion directly to the USB Drive) Just copy the 'ul.' files to the ROOT of the USB Drive and the game should appear on the game menu on the ps2 when you plug the USB Drive I've made a ISO with UlaunchELF and OPL already packed and ready to load on a ps2īurn the iso on a cd with speed 4x on any program (i recommend Ultraiso) and load in the ps2 Not true anymore, there's a dvd exploit i haven't tested, since my ps2 doesn't have a dvd drive.Īlso, i didn't mention, but it works in unmodded ps2 consoles too, but since this tutorial requires a burned dvd, use the dvd hax or search Google for freemcboot, i personally never used itįirst, you'll need to launch homebrew (UlaunchELF and OpenPs2Loader) on the ps2 This needs a mod-chip, and will be Matrix mod-chip only, since i don't own any Ps2 that has another mod-chip

So, seeing that, and using this since Ps3 and Xbox 360 wasn't even a thing yet, i decided to write a tutorial on how to take that ps2 and play your games without even needing a dvd (mostly)

Well, after trying to show a way to do this for a friend on his ps2, i stumbled in a lot of misleading tutorials for the Usb game loading on Ps2, seeing even some people who still thinks that those usb connectors are useless Let's talk of this console that has been forgotten on time
