Open PS2 Loader (OPL) is a PS2 homebrew allowing the loading of PS2 backups either from the internal HDD (PHAT PS2 only), external USB devices, or a from a SAMBA network share.

Setup

Prerequisite

Installation of OPL in FMCB

  • mount USB key
mount /dev/sdX /media/whatever
cd /media/whatever
  • get OPL and unzip it
wget https://github.com/ifcaro/Open-PS2-Loader/releases/download/0.9.3/OpenPS2Loader_0.9.3.zip
unzip OpenPS2Loader_0.9.3.zip
  • Note: OPL is shipped with several options: the Virtual MemoryCard (VMC) that you can use to have save files stored on HDD or external USB device instead of the the PS2 MemoryCards; the PS2 remote debugger (PS2rd), a software used to debug commercial PS2 games remotely over Ethernet; and Graphics Synthesizer Mode Selector (GSM), a tool to change the PS2 native video modes.
  • rename and move as OPL the OPL version you want to use (in this example, we choose the version that is shipped with GSM)
mv OpenPS2Loader_0.9.3/OPL\ 0.9.3\ \(GSM\) OPL
  • unmount the key
cd
umount /dev/sdX

  • Navigate to the USB key mapped as mass:/
  • Select the OPL folder
  • Copy it via the R1 menu
  • Navigate back to the root of the memory card, either mc0:/ or mc1:/
  • Paste the folder via the R1 menu
  • Turn off PS2, and take the key out
  • Boot PS2 and enter the FMCB Confugurator
  • Go to Configure OSDSYS options...
  • Move to Configure Item 1 and go to the right/left to find an empty entry, and select it
  • For Name:, put OPL or whatever you like
  • For Path1:, browse your memory card, either mc0:/ or mc1:/, and find the folder with OPL and select the OPL binary, in this example, it's OPL 0.9.3 (GSM).ELF
  • Return to the main FMCB Configurator menu and choose Save CNF to MC0 or Save CNF to MC1
