Dude I just bought a PS2 because I wanted to relive the glory days of gaming and your tutorials have helped to play all the games I used to play thanks a lot, you just got a new sub!
NOTE: I made the mistake of putting the games in either the CD or DVD folder. Don't do that, simply put the bundle of files into the ROOT of your thumbdrive!
@@ZachDarvin Can you make a video of playing games with a usb flash drive on the router for Playstation 2 slim? It lagging in cutscenes when playing with normal usb.
It worked like a charm, take my well-deserved like. Also if anyone else is running the MX4SIO card mod, disable gsm in OPL it creates a bunch of cropped lines on your game.
@@zc.sarc1 I'm not sure, I use the memory card mod not usb to play games. Alot of it comes down to what TV your using. Are you using the av cable inputs or using a hdmi adapter? Adapter especially cheap ones butcher resolution and make the image darker.
Saw another tutorial showing how to load the larger game files by this method, but did not explain how to also be able to load smaller games on the same flash drive; I'll try adding them to the DVD folder, thank you!
Just a question, when you try to put one that one split games into the root directory, i notice it puts a "uf.cfg" file in there and it's asks if you want to keep the old or new one each time as it's named the same each time?! Do i rename that config file for each game??
I think i experienced a rare situation that maybe someone else is/will experience as well, im adding my solution which is an easy one. So i downloaded a game that was larger than 4gb to be exact it was 4.37gb and i followed the tutorial perfectly and like alot of the comments say, I put the split game files directly onto the ROOT of my USB drive(the issue people were having was that they would put the game into a file such as CD or DVD on the USB and the OPL wouldnt read it, so the solution would be to put it directly onto the root). However, when i went to try to game it was no where to be found. so i did the reverse of what everyone did and put it on the DVD file i had on USB and it worked. - its a bit of a weird situation but one i had so i hope this helps anyone in the future :)---side note when redoing the files i kept the notes on the root and just copied them over to DVD so both the root of the USB and the DVD file had the game files and maybe thats what you gotta do to make it work, i didnt mess around with it after i got it too work so if my first solution doesnt work try this one as well
i tried to test persona 3 fes on opl but the game won’t open? It stays on a black screen after opening, however other 4gb+ games worked and had no issues. Pls help!!
I have a problem after selecting the game that I want. The loading was too long and it didn't go into the game what was the problem? Only black screen loading

I have eveyrthing working, games smaller than 4gb work fine but now im at the point in trying to split the larger files down so the issues im having is with USBUtil, doesnt matter what version i try and run when i open the exe file in windows the program opens but only a small blue box and nothing inside. Its like its not finished loading or something. Tried various links and still same issue, does my windows 10 not support the latest USBUtil?
if u have pscx2, you can try and test the iso file. I tried it and the iso files seems to work fine but when i installed the 2 4gb+ games in my usb, it just doesnt show up or the other iso file is corrupted
Zach, the updated video in your description is no longer available... Did you accidentally delete it? Please recover it. For example, I'm trying to play SmackDown! HCTP from my USB. This tutorial will not work for certain games (including this one). For these games; there's a final step where you have to defrag your USB after extracting the ISO file to it (which you showed us, in a now removed video). So, if your game isn't loading up properly-this is exactly the reason why; the final step is missing!
@@ZachDarvin No worries. Right now, I have some fun games below the limit. I'm sure the world wide web has a solution somewhere out there. Thanks for the time and attention. Great content and God bless.
Hey, hope you can help me. Every time i want to do the new file the programm said me that my file is damaged. I just want To play Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 4 😢
Bro i did evrything as u did the game works but in the game my ps2 controller is not working i mean when i click start there is no response in the game ... But my ps2 controller works in other games that are under 4GB
Read me - You can add as many as you want in one Go. File > Create game from ISO > Select game folder > then just hold shift and select multiple > Press create and that's it. I did have an issue trying to do them in 2 blocks so it's better if you do all your games that need converting in one go.
Is there a limit to the size of the game? Ive got it to work with all my games except for god of war 2, im thinking its because its 6 gbs. Any advice is appreciated 🙏
Hi! I did all the steps required in your video, and luckily it worked. However, the game I had (Max Payne) usually freezes just a few moments after it loads (Rockstar Logo to be exact) is it a problem on the ISO file itself?
hello sir.. you totally helped me.. do you have a video how to insert games through hdd? i want a big size of external storage i want to play rpg games..
Nope, you have to put the multiple game files (split) into the root of your usb drive…. Do this for all games above 4gb. Only put games in the DVD folder if the size is below 4gb. That’s what I heard and for me though, I tried to run reservoir dogs which is 3gb around and pasted it on the dvd folder but it’s stuck on white screen. Still no clue.
i tryed your methud im trying to boot dmc3 with latest version of opl and i did the usbutil thing and still my ps2 wont rekegnise the game or show it in the game menu pls help
Very informative video, thank you. I have a question to ask. I have ESR and can't load games from a burned DVD blank. I used the ESR PATCHER but still nothing. Will it work if I use verbatim discs?
Yoh! Need help.....so I have 64 gb flash,I had GTA inside that is also broken down to smaller chunks,now I downloaded god war brake it down in the same flash but when plug in to play,on the display on GTA is available,god of war doesn't appear....what could be the problem because when I remove either one the game,gta or god of war will now appear
I did, what happened is, I had to split both games at the same time...I had to download GTA again so that I could split it at the same time with GOW@@BeltFrawx

It maybe because the game isn't compatible with your Free McBoot.

Try running the ISO through "Defraggler" it worked for me when the game would randomly freeze, its free
