In this video we give you a step by step tutorial on how to setup a Samba Share on your PC that you can access from your PS2 using FreeMcBoot & OPL
This will allow you to play backups without needing an IDE drive, HDLoader or using a USB stick. You can play backups as well as import games by loading the ISO files over your home network.
Your feedback is the only way we can improve the channel so we encourage you to leave a comment positive or not to help us keep improving! Thank You.

Legend, no one else told me to enable SMB 1.0. Thank you!

@pureleaf6686 2 года назад

I love you man... This is the ONLY video that worked for me. After SOO many different attempts over the years, I can FINALLY play over the network. I've tried in years past until I was blue in the face. I kept trying to either FTP or to play over the network to no avail. I tried buying different network adapters and different ethernet cables. NOTHING would work. Today I tried yet again for several hours. Tried every video I could find and read through several forums. I lost track of time even. Then I stumbled across your video.. You're great! Thank you so much for sharing this with the community.

@captainash6581 Год назад

For whatever reason, my PS2 will be unable to connect to the SMB server (which is just a games folder on my PC) after some time, maybe after Windows updates but I don't know. I found that turning SMB off and on through the 'turn Windows features on/off' menu, then restarting my PC, fixes the issue and my PS2 can connect to the server afterwards. Figured I'd post that here in case anyone else ever has the problem.

@Rick-el3ox Год назад

1. You don't need a static IP at your PS2 2. When you give your PC a static IP I would highly recommend an address outside of the DHCP pool of your router. If you choose an address inside the DHCP pool like shown in the video chances are that your router will give the same address to a second device. That could lead to serious network problems

@Dorkalicious Год назад

Most routers wouldn't double assign an IP at most you would only have this issue if you had statically assigned the same IP to my multiple devices causes IP colission Your first point may be correct

@Rick-el3ox Год назад

@@Dorkalicious the router would assign the ip to a second device if the lease runs out. Means if your router has a lease time of one weak and your pc wasn’t online in that weak the router would probably assign that ip to a second device. Because of that I recommend a static IP outside your dhcp pool. You could also just use youre PCs hostname. The hostname doesn’t change over time

If you've upgraded to Windows 11 and your SMB has broken, make sure that when checking SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support that ALL the subfolders are checked. Turning that on and rebooting should fix the issue immediately.

Ich remember backing up my first PS2 games with Swap Magic and literally playing is from a USB 2.0 hard drive. The videos were stuttery sometimes but that was something. Now Free Mc Boot as a softmod, game isos via LAN, absolutely stunning. This is what I did back then, when I smashed my ps2 console after some Silent Hill game frustrated me very hard. The dvd drive broke and the only chance I had was to load the game off LAN.

@Dorkalicious 3 года назад

@kaydog890 3 года назад

A couple of years!?’b Then you should know it’s really terrible advice. Don’t get we wrong, it will work. But disabling password protected sharing, and also giving full read/write to Guest is just asking for someone to shit on your computer. Also, some routers will have a sad when your lease expires and you will be left wondering why you’re internet’s not working when you’re still set to static IP. It will work with DHCP enabled. I don’t agree with using google’s DNS’s, but that’s a personal thing.

@HansOilaf 3 года назад

Do you need to setup your router to keep the PC and PS2 on the same IP address, or is this accomplished by the steps in the video?

No you don't need. But usually you would want to set those static IP address bindings on the router, not on every single client like he is doing here.

It's a bit of work, but more convenient than using an external hard drive to load iso's through the ps2 slim's usb port or burned games and used the swap disc feature like i've done in the past with my ps2. Wish there was an easy way to jail break the ps3.

@kreana02 4 года назад

the ribbon cable of the laser on my ps2 is scratching all discs you put into, so this is for people with non working dvd unit. Loading games from USB do not work at full speed due to USB port is too slow and noticeable on videos. All ps3 can be hacked now, even the last super slim version and is easy to do.

Has anyone tried this with an nvidia shield as the server instead of a PC? Also, do the folders have to be at the top level of the share? Or can they be in a subdirectory. eg. \\ip address\sharename vidia_shield\DVD ?

You can set the path but for simplicity I'd keep it closer to root then not Long as the PS2 can communicate with the server I'm sure it's possible

I'm having issues, using a secondary router as an in between for the ps2. But it has the same ip as my primary router. Wondering how this could be fixed?

THNF89 they both need to be on the same gateway

@@Dorkalicious wow man didn't expect you to reply so fast. I have the gateway settings identical. I'm starting to think it's just that my FreeMcBoot and OPL are both ancient builds. Couldn't get hard drive games to run either.

@@THNF89 thats unusual, if you have free mcboot working, then you should update your version of OPL, the latest version also improve network speeds

@@Dorkalicious installed latest OPL still nothing. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I might switch to my laptop and see if that will work but beyond that I'm not sure.
