Just get a nice upscaler like an OSSC or retrotink.
Nice setup OP, I love my PS2 with OPL.

>>8759913
Open PlayStation Loader, allows you to run games from a USB stick or, better yet, via network cable connected to a server/laptop.

or just get a set of component cables and that's it. PS2 looks fine on modern TVs in spite of what the CRTChuds around here will tell you

>>8760086
Fair call, I haven't played PS2 on a HDTV with component, but I've played Xbox with them and it looks great.

>>8759948
This. Also, the t lights are cringe.

>>8759908
Get:
-crt
-fat ps4
-ps5 in the garbage due to the retard design
-opl manager for the game covers

>>8759908
No scan lines

>>8759948
Based.

>>8759917
are there any good print designs that surround the gdemu in the shape of the drive, but don't use an SD extender? i like the lid switch functionality on the slot on the gdemu.

>>8760086
Games that support progressive look a fairly decent, but the interlacing is made way more apparent in the games that don't have it

You are the opposite of based

>>8759908
nothing is based about using your tvs shitty built in component (((upscaler))) on a laggy lcd

>>8759908
Protip: many games can be forced to 480p with gsm in opl. They render at the incorrect aspect ratio however. Setting your tv to force stretch to 16:9 should fix it so it's displaying pillarboxed proper 4:3

>no CRT
yikes, oofpilled, cringey zoomer.

>>8759908
use the OPL manager tool to download covers

other than that pretty cool, it felt really good to get that setup on my PS2. Just make sure you're using component cables so you can get 480p.

>>8760409
this is why i come here

Metal Gear?

>>8760906
You could have been sweet like syrup...but instead you're jelly.

>>8760075
I find it weirder that OP has MGS3 Snake Eater, quite literally an obsolete game. Especially when he has the Subsistence version installed which replaces Snake Eater.

>>8760409
>16:9
Why is that so bad? A lot of games support it. Most of the time the only thing that looks bad is the UI.

>>8760409
Jackass has 1080p support

>>8759917
Dreamcast + GDEMU + VGA is godly man. Best way to experience the last retro console. Enjoy once you have it all.

>>8759908
You should really dust before you post pics of your stuff online OP you big goober
And on a serious note, do you feel like you got your money's worth with the PS5? I have a PS4 and I feel like I'm probably done buying consoles for the forseeable future. I found it a little underwhelming even though I love Bloodborne to death

>>8760409
Xtroons are always bitching when someone chooses to play a multiplat on PS2 instead of their beloved Microsoft shitbox

>>8761023
Enhanced PS4 games for one
The only way to get your moneys worth for PS5 right now is to drop an extra $70 on everything that comes out

>>8761042
>Enhanced PS4 games for one
Last I heard, Bloodborne runs exactly the same as it does on PS4 which is laaaaame

>>8761024
Remember Ninja Gaiden 2?

>>8761060
No.

>>8761023
Different guy but I got PS5 for a relative and have spent some time with it. Wouldn't buy one for myself.

>>8761112
PS3 got a guttered censored port

What exactly is it that sets the jannies off on this board

>>8761275
they're unironically trannies.

>>8760283
>opl manager for the game covers
i like to make my own ones

>>8761019

Is VGA really that good? How much better is it than SCART? I ordered the GDEMU and waiting for it to arrive.

>>8761392
I'm American so Idk about rgb scart. I used VGA on my LCD monitor and it looks great, although I do currently have it hooked up to my consumer CRT with S-Video. Simply more fun to play on a big TV.

>>8759908
Cool theme. I didn’t know you could theme it. Imma do that.

>>8761275
say the n word

>>8760048
I just buy a ps2 and get this set up. I got the wii set up like that. I need a ps2 in my life to play shaolin monks

>>8759908
>tfw network adapter fuses blow on your PS2
i don't know what spec fuses i need to order or i'd have fixed it by now.

i don't want to open it and have shit strewn everywhere while i wait.

>>8761463
There are some fun themes. I use one that looks like the PSone menus

>>8759908
compatibility is nowhere near good enough to make this worth the hassle. I prefer emulation for ps2

>>8761489

What are you on about? It runs the ISO perfectly. What incompatibility?

>>8761463
>>8759908
This OP. Get some good themes that let you show all of the stuff from OPL Manager

>>8759908
Good stuff man.

>>8761536
The problem with most themes is that when you have more than one picture, it becomes sluggish and it takes them a few seconds to load them all when you scroll. I ended up with a simple theme with just the cover. It's super fast and it loads the image almost instantly. It would be nice to have the background images but the slowdown drives me insane.

I need to set up the box art for all my OPL games but I'm too lazy to pull the drive out and connect it to the PC to download everything.

>>8761392
VGA is great but there are certain games it won't work with, which is FUCKING ANNOYING.

>>8759908
Soulless.

>>8762071
aren't the jak games games that don't work on opl

>>8762032
Can't you just force it into VGA?

>https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/PS2_Classics_Emulator_Compatibility_List
I was actually surprised by how well most games run on the PS3. Setting everything up is kind of a bitch, but it works pretty damn good.

>>8761471
Xbox version is better, also deception.
But a ps2 even today is a great console. Amust have specially the fat one with a hdd/ssd loaded with games

>>8762336

Don't bother doing this with a PAL PS3. I can't be bothered to explain why but they basically took out the part that made PS3 back compat so good, even on the one that is meant to be good.

>>8762338
Just be sure to get a Scph 39001 PS2. Those are the best built models from what I heard.

>>8762350
Weird. It's supposed to work on every model from any region.

>>8762338
>But a ps2 even today is a great console. Amust have specially the fat one with a hdd/ssd loaded with games

i picked up a network / IDE adapter at a goodwill for five bux the other day. still aint found a fat console to go with it though. does anybody make a ps2 optical drive emulator or is it just considered too easy to softmod for such a thing to be worth selling?

>>8762383
it's really more that PS2 hardmodding is a nightmare and there's basically never going to be a drop-in ODE that will work on all models, if an ODE ever even gets made at all.

>>8762313
?? They work fine.

>>8762325
afaik games handle the gpu/video output directly, so you can't "force" games to go vga that don't have the logic to do so.

did this with my ps2 and got a crt a couple of months ago. shit and piss myself at how awesome it is. bit worried cause i got the chink shit adapter but it works

I can't even get OPL to work on Windows 10 when it was working fine on Windows 7. Spent 2 hours going through all the obscure workarounds as well. Yet another stain on this shitty operating system.

>>8760985
OG snake eater is based, brainlet

>>8762798
Really? I've exclusively used it on Windows 10 and have had no problems with it.

>>8762820
Yeah I don't know what is going on lad, the PS2 keeps assigning itself its own fucking ip address. It sends packets to the laptop, but the laptop never sends anything back. I guess it's back to burning discs on the 20 year-old laser which still magically works

not him >>8762820

>>8762902
>the PS2 keeps assigning itself its own fucking ip address
that's weird, even when you set static ip? if so maybe a memory card problem not to saving your config, post your opl settings.

>>8762902
depending on the version of windows, it constantly resets SMB1 protocols to be disabled. This happens during periods where it checks for windows update, wakes up from sleep or hibernation, and of course during power cycles. It is not worth doing SMB on win10.

>>8762798
>>8762930
you might want to look into samba on linux or something

>>8762930
I hate to make another "works on my machine" post but I used SMB with Windows 10 for over a year with no problems. Used it until I switched over to an internal HDD. Guess I got lucky

>>8762927
It saves the static ip, but doing an ipconfig on a command prompt shows it is using a different one. When I switched the static ip over to the ip the ps2 gave itself, the ps2 then switched the ip address to the one it should have had to begin with.

>>8762930
I've gone through all that already.

>>8762974
I think your house might be haunted

>>8762986
Yeah well i'm really bummed now because the stack of blank dvds I just opened have all rotted

>>8762994
This is very important. When you open the disc tray of your PS2, is there any sort of strange goo present

>>8760918
Nigger I got a CRT TV with Xbox, Gamecube, N64, SNES, Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast, PS2, and PS1 fully-loaded with ODE/softmod/flashcart solutions. I have nothing to be jealous about.

Now stop embarassing yourself and go back to your dilation session.

same anon >>8762927

>>8762974
the hell? there is no fucking way that ps2 change ip unless dchp is activate, go always static for all configs and double check if that ip is not already on use.

>>8762974
Are you making sure to save your settings on the PS2 after you set the IP? I don't have it in front of me right now but I seem to remember that you have to save your settings outside of the network settings menu that was posted here >>8763041

>>8763041
This is what my network settings look like

>>8763041

>>8763052
Are you sure share name is written right? that shit is case sensitive also for user, is really ps2? you have to written the computer name there.

And this is what it looks like in ipconfig, you can see it has given itself a new ip address.

>>8763069
Yes I created that user specifically for this. Tried guest as well.

>>8760409
I'll give you all those other multiplats, but the PS2 version of San Andreas is the only one with the correct postprocessing effects and color filters.

>>8763069

>>8763075
why wireless have that same ip? it makes no sense, set the pc ip on ps2 another static ip and change it on windows as well for ethernet adapter.

>>8761510
http://sx.sytes.net/oplcl/games.aspx

Not in any way true, in some cases it's a fine art and in others it simply doesn't work.

>>8763119
Because the pc is connected via wifi. That's just the ip address the router assigns to the pc and if I try to change it the internet immediately stops working

>>8763134
yep i understand that but are you trying connecting opl via wireless or Ethernet cable to ps2?
if later do what i said here >>8763119

>>8763123
The problem is that those compatibility list are old as hell (notice how they were all tested with an ancient version of OPL). They are also a combination of HDD, Network and USB. So of course when you see comments like "video stutter" and crap like that, you know they are loading the games though usb or network.

I have a 2tb HDD with 900 games on it and the latest nightly version of OPL. I decided to test them all, having the compatibility website open and really see if there was any issue. Currently tested over 300, and aside for some games requiring some modes enabled (mainly mode 6 since many games have internal reset), everything so far worked.

I'm sure I'll find some games down the road that won't work, but no issues at the moment.

>>8762071
Still wanna' know the name of that specific OPL theme.

>>8762313
You have to set them to specific modes in the Game Setting. I think J&D requires Modes 3 and 6 or just one of the two.

>>8763140
I don't really understand what you are telling me to do. You're saying I should change 192.168.0.51 to another ip?

>>8760409
best autist in the thread

>>8763184
yes because wifi uses that ip, if you are connecting via ethernet cable you have to change that ip on ps2 (the pc ip) and on the ethernet adapter as well to get connection. but you didnt answer my question. cmon we can solve this ;)

>>8763217
Yes i'm using a crossover cable. But I thought the whole point was to use the ip assigned by your router so the ps2 can identify the correct address of the pc. Anyway I changed it to 192.168.0.20 for instance and nothing changed.

>>8759983
PS3 got no game

>>8763236
>crossover cable
ah did you fall for the meme like i recently did? apparently we dont even need that, modern computers just default know how to use the protocol necessary to transfer between the ps2 and pc with a standard ethernet.
>tfw wasted like $7 or something

Actually scratch that I think we're getting somewhere

Success. I'll buy you >>8763217 a beer. I wish the guides weren't so useless.


>>8763242
I heard that. I think I need it for my Xbox though anyway.

>>8763217

>>8763236
Ohh, i see emm damn. well my setup is pc connect directly to ps2 via ethernet cable, but in your case is wifi pc > router < ps2 right? mmm

>>8763242
Crossovers have their purposes for 1 to 1 connections

>>8763273

>>8763270 YAAAYY nice one dear anon :D you made it glad to help have fun!

>so, how was your setup in the end?

>>8763237
it's got demon's hole and msg 4

>>8763294
Changing the ip address worked, but I had to change it in 3 different places. The guides I used said you had to copy the ip address of the pc you were connected to, but it looks like the pc section is actually the ps2 section and you are supposed to create a completely new ip address. The static ip address at the top is meaningless. It's not exactly very intuitive.

Oh and the cutscene audio skips a lot in this game so I might need to put it on a hard drive anyway.

>>8763270
you made me laugh out loud anon, thank you very much

you decided to christen your success with quite possibly the worst jRPG on that system

>>8762352
True. That the only model that matters

>>8763340
You know it's a 5 and not a 4, right Anon?

>>8759908
>CRT
Bros, most PS2 games are 4:3, right?

>>8763382
No most games have a widescreen mode

>>8763402
How does that work with CRTs?
Do you get black bars? I don't mind them.
Are the games generally designed for 4:3?

>>8762805
I was going to call you a retard and be done with it, but I'll let you defend yourself first.
Explain to me what makes Snake Eater based in comparison to Subsistence.

>>8763649
he's probably thinking about the fact that subsistence doesnt even start with the snake eater intro
that fucking dissapointed the fuck out of me when i tried subsistence recently

>>8763406
The widescreen output by most old consoles is anamorphic. That means you'll just get a horizontally compressed image since its trying to fit the image inside the 480i picture. Its not true widescreen like on more modern consoles that output actual widescreen resolutions like 720p and 1080p.

>>8759908
>PS2 on HDTV
May as well emulate not even meming.

>>8763382
>>8763406
Yes, PS2 games (almost?) always support 4:3.

>>8763242
I fell for it too. Sounds like it was necessary with older 10/100 NICs but just became standard over gigabit connections to auto negotiate it.

>>8763954
Now that I think about it though, I imagine the PS2 adapter is 10/100. Guess only one side not being retarded is necessary.

Where did these CRT posting retards come from

>>8764137
Dunno, CRTards all share the same one braincell. My guess is that they all work at McDonalds and can’t afford a nice tv, so they have to go dumpster diving for their cancer emitting, image warping, blurry, half filled with black lines, rainbow banding trash boxes.

>>8764145
>CRTards all share the same one braincell
lmao you couldve left it at that and it'd be one of the best owns i've ever seen on the internet

>>8763334
>Oh and the cutscene audio skips a lot in this game so I might need to put it on a hard drive anyway.

maybe is bc you are feeding your iso through wifi and you know some packets loss and blah blah, try it with direct cable to your router
