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.
I know it is an old vid now but thanks for this, enabled me to successfully smb share with my pc and I can now enjoy the imports I have purchased without needing to hard mod my system. I look forward to playing both KH: RCOM and Suikoden III.
oh... my... god... its workin. THANK YOU!! USB port on my PS2 slim died and I no longer have DVD burner. I was not playing a single game on my PS2 since 2019 cuz I dont have any games on DVD... BUT I HAVE NAS SERVER. So I tryed OPL and I followed your instructions. I legit cant express how happy I am now thanks to you!
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.
This helps, thanks! I was having to unplug my hard drive and load it into a cage to swap games. Using USB drives is TERRIBLE from my testing due to its USB 1.1 slow protocol.
Thanks so much for your tutorial, it was eminently helpful. I can't help but point this out: it's "octet", rather than "octave", since it refers to a group of 8 binary digits, e.g., 255 is 11111111.
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.
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
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
@@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.
for me i had to untick SMB1 "auto removal" which was in windows 10 for the SMB1.0 features so it would automatically disable SMB1 and prevent it from working LOL
Awesome! It works from my Qnap-frankenstein Server. Should have no workload on the NAS, because if the PS2 doesn't get its Data fast enough, it will crash
if you did this and it blocked your access to some sites, go back to control panel, network and sharing, change adapter settings, double click on your wifi, click properties, go to internet protocol version 4 and click properties, and set it back to your default settings. i figured it out and it worked for me
I had no idea that you could do this! I think that this is great to rig playing other games that you maybe didn't have already! I may have to look into this!
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.
and why exactly is disabling password protection for local shares and read/write permissions for guest terrible? this is all local and only relevant if someone already got in your network but in that case you are fucked anyway
OH Snap it works, I use windows 7 so to make sure the smb1 function is turned on run cmd.exe as administrator, then copy and paste the following in the dos prompt sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/mrxsmb20/nsi sc.exe config mrxsmb10 start= auto it should say success for each line this information was found on the following webpage docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-server/storage/file-server/troubleshoot/detect-enable-and-disable-smbv1-v2-v3 I hope that helps anyone, everything else necessary is described in the video.
Well, I can confirm that you don't need a static IP address for your PS2. I did need a user that had a password, but it's because I'm connecting to a Windows Server.
So I got this working with some games, but some other games don't work, I have the most recent version of OPL and FMCB some games work like Gran Turismo 4 and some that don't like Final Fantasy X-2 I figure it's the videos so I have mode 4 enabled, but still no changes, any advice?
This tutorial worked! (after having one mistake of one number off in the IP). The only problem I have now is what to do when a game comes in the .bin .cue format rather than .iso. When I used to use PCSX2 the .bin games would work just like any other .iso.
The only software I’ve found is usually paid software for like $20-30. I tried two programs but one doesn’t seem to do anything and the other program did some wacky stuff so I deleted it immediately. It was a free trial anyways.
Update for anyone who needs it: I finally found a program that works and does not get flagged by any anti viruses as suspicious called AnyToISO. The lite version is free and it got the .bin of a game converted to .iso and fully working on the ps2
Having bit of a trouble. I did pretty much everything you said step by step and I'm getting a 310: No network connection error. Both my super slim 9XXXXX with Fortuna and my computer (Win10) are plugged in to my wifi extender (cause my signal is rather weak in my room, we got an extender) but there's no green lights or anything of the sort.
I want to do this with my laptop. I use Wi-Fi to access the internet and I was planning to use an old router just for linking up my PS2. Can this be done while I still have aceess to the internet over Wi-Fi or do I have to use my active router?
Has anybody ever gone through the process of pointing this to a Synology NAS server? I can't seem to find a video online specifically showing this. I have plenty of spare room on my NAS and would rather play my games over this than buy a new HD to play games off.
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.
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. Check HEN for ps3.
What would be the max size for external hdd o using the computer? I've got a 5tb and im wondering if I can have all the ps2 isos stored on the external and shared through smb
Great guide but shame I couldn't get it to work, keep getting 300: Cannot connect to SMB server. Followed step by step a few times. Not sure if it maters but I have my PS2 setup as follows. PS2 w/FHDB -> Ethernet -> network switch which is also connected to PC
@@Dorkalicious So the router from the cable company is in a different room of the house, Ethernet from that is routed to the room where the ps2 is and into an Ethernet switch then the switch has the pc and consoles such as the ps2 connected to it via Ethernet.
Why are you settings a static IP address to the PS2? It's connected to the router and will be assigned an IP address anyways. You're not connecting to the PS2, I'm not getting why you would want to do so!
And what about games with FMV via network? Still its impossible (the lag is terrible on the FMV scenes, the game you showed has no FMV) or it's better now?
Playing the games through network is WAY faster than playing them through USB. The fact that playing games via USB the videos will stutter ruining the emersion the game is trying to put you in, WHERE playing via network, the videos run FLAWLESSLY!!
No need, I can load the games from my slave HD on my notebook that its connected to the LAN network via WIFI. But it lags as hell, I think it is because of the WIFI connection
Hey! I am getting the error 303: Cannot open SMB share on OPL. It has worked with exactly these settings, but I suspect a Windows 10 update might've done something to prevent me from connecting. When I unplug the ethernet cable OPL loads forever, but when I plug it in it immediately gives me this error when it's trying to connect. I have redone your video and still I haven't been able to fix it, while all the required features have been downloaded, and the settings are exactly like yours (except for the IP part of course). Would anyone know a possible fix? My folder is being shared, as other devices within the network are able to find it.
you PC is rejecting the connection If you enabled SMB 1.0 its possible you have a virus protector or firewall rejecting the connection. Could be local firewall on the PC or router, though I kinda doubt the router one
okay i know why: i made a new GUEST account because in my launguage GUEST is "gość", i was meant to just write "gość" on pc and then Guest on ps2 and everything works fine! thanks for the vided!!
Well, I did everything exactly as in the video and I get a 300 error. Maybe it's because my router has the DHCP option on? I tried to set the setting in OPL to DHCP but the when I set it numbers won't change automatically as they should... HELP.
i have windows 7 and on the "turn windows features on and off" the SMB options don't exists at all. Does anyone have a tutorial on how to do this on windows 7?
Is there a way to play the games that are on my home PC when I'm not at home? I travel sometimes and take the ps2 with me that would be awesome if it works
Any reason why only half the PS2 and 1/3 of PS1 games would appear but not the rest? All are visible on the share from another PC and named correctly for OPL. Those appearing in OPL play fine. Just missing several games present within the shared folder. The refresh button in OPL doesn’t seem to do anything.
Tried doing the same stuff for my DS218+ but to no avail. I feel like i hit all the same settings. Dont know if you know how to do it through a NAS but would really appreciate it.
Hi! I would like to know if there is a way to play a ps2 fighting game that doesn't have netplay features (Like COD1, COD2, COD3, etc.) online with another player using ps2 as well?
Having some issues getting this to work. My PS 2 is connected to a ethernet switch and so is my PC. They both use it to connect to my router. Would having them on the same switch give priority to a direct connection between them, ignoring the router? I'm able to ping my PS2 from my PC but when I try to connect from my PS2 I get Error 303: Cannot open SMB share.
make sure your password, and share name are correct, long as they are on the same subnet they should be able to see each other. the fact you can ping it would seem to indicate they are on the same network so its got to be a minor setting. make sure you alot enabled the smb 1,0 thing i mentioned in windows
@@Dorkalicious Managed to get it to work. I have no idea what fixed it but I had a IDE laying around so I formatted that through UlaunchElf (WinHiip was giving me issues) and just plugged it in with the network adapter instead of having it plugged in empty. I also renamed my ISOs. So if I had Katamari Damacy (USA).iso I'd rename it to SLUS_210.08.KATAMARI DAMACY.ISO. I had to mount the iso, look inside for the SLUS file name then unmount. Finally I looked at network settings in UlaunchElf browser and my PS2's ip did not match my ip in OPL so I changed that. And finally it worked.
good question, I’ve read that network is faster than DVD which is faster than USB. An internal hdd on a ps2 fat is probably the faster option of them all.
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 ?
I'm use component cable to play But when i use lan cable for smb too screen it flickering but when i un lan cable screen it normal Why is it like that can you help me please T_T
Sounds like there is a short somewhere You should try a different lan cable and video cable (one at a time) Do process of elimination to see what resolves the issue
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?
@@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.
@@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.

Any reason why only half the PS2 and 1/3 of PS1 games would appear but not the rest? All are visible on the share from another PC and named correctly for OPL. Those appearing in OPL play fine. Just missing several games present within the shared folder. The refresh button in OPL doesn’t seem to do anything.
Try updating your version of opl
Tried doing the same stuff for my DS218+ but to no avail. I feel like i hit all the same settings. Dont know if you know how to do it through a NAS but would really appreciate it.

I keep getting error "310: no network connection"
Plug ps2 to router
@@Austeja608 yeah I did that and tested every cable, I'm pretty sure my ps2's lan port just doesn't work :(
Hi! I would like to know if there is a way to play a ps2 fighting game that doesn't have netplay features (Like COD1, COD2, COD3, etc.) online with another player using ps2 as well?
I would need the exact title to check
@@Dorkalicious in my case would be Narutimate Accel 2, Japanese version, or the European version Naruto Ultimate Ninja 5.
I’ve done every single step but my games don’t show up in the ETH section, I’ve gone over the video 10 times now and still no success
Its got to be an IP issue because many ppl here have got it working,
Maybe try updating your version of OPL
You need a constant internet connection?
Ya
@@Dorkalicious Why though when you are using a home network?
@@blinxerizer5426 sorry
No u don't need internet at all
Only access to your local network
Do it also works if you attach a repeater to your ps2 and the repeater to the wifi /wlan?
you can try, maybe
It works ! Thank you 🙏🏽
I'm getting an error 300: cannot connect to SMB server. Is there a way to fix this?
Still getting this, is there a way to fix this?
Hey! Is it possible to follow these steps connecting the ps2 directly to the PC with the ethernet cable?
Yes you might need a cross over cable
Having some issues getting this to work. My PS 2 is connected to a ethernet switch and so is my PC. They both use it to connect to my router. Would having them on the same switch give priority to a direct connection between them, ignoring the router? I'm able to ping my PS2 from my PC but when I try to connect from my PS2 I get Error 303: Cannot open SMB share.
make sure your password, and share name are correct, long as they are on the same subnet they should be able to see each other. the fact you can ping it would seem to indicate they are on the same network so its got to be a minor setting. make sure you alot enabled the smb 1,0 thing i mentioned in windows
@@Dorkalicious Managed to get it to work. I have no idea what fixed it but I had a IDE laying around so I formatted that through UlaunchElf (WinHiip was giving me issues) and just plugged it in with the network adapter instead of having it plugged in empty. I also renamed my ISOs. So if I had Katamari Damacy (USA).iso I'd rename it to SLUS_210.08.KATAMARI DAMACY.ISO. I had to mount the iso, look inside for the SLUS file name then unmount. Finally I looked at network settings in UlaunchElf browser and my PS2's ip did not match my ip in OPL so I changed that. And finally it worked.
Do the cut scenes run at full speed?
Depends on the game but I’ve seen smooth on some but jumpy on games like resident evil outbreak
@@Dorkalicious ok thank you!
How does the loading time compare between the network share and playing a disc?
good question, I’ve read that network is faster than DVD which is faster than USB.
An internal hdd on a ps2 fat is probably the faster option of them all.
Does this work for PS1 games as well?
Yes if you can load them via OPL which I believe you can
Just research using POPSTARTER with OPL
Is it slower to run games off the network vs IDE local drive? I read that SATA vs IDE is a lot faster but from your video it didnt look slow.
Likely internal drive is faster but network is the convenience of downloading a game and firing it up in seconds
Is it possible to use this method with Linux laptop connected directly to PS2 without any router in between?
Likely yes
Is it possible to do this from my personal cloud? Like WDCloud?
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
Why not use a second network card?
If have two then yes you can
I'm use component cable to play
But when i use lan cable for smb too screen it flickering
but when i un lan cable screen it normal
Why is it like that
can you help me please T_T
Sounds like there is a short somewhere
You should try a different lan cable and video cable (one at a time)
Do process of elimination to see what resolves the issue
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.
@@THNF89 their both on the same router?
I feel like if I open all sharing options like that in Windows 10 some Wi-Fi users might get access to my PC?
If you are concerned give the user a password and then you will need to add that password when setting up the ps2 side of things
@@Dorkalicious I'm gonna do that. Thanks.
Do you need wifi to play games?
no
@@Dorkalicious So all this time directly connecting it to my laptop isn't going to work?
@@hunterkrovac you can try but ideally you have a router
@@Dorkalicious My room is nowhere near my router, but I got it to work with a bridged connection.
@@hunterkrovac ok great you used a crossover cable?
Octet!! Not octave.
Thank you for the tut though.
Oooopsies
