Hey! THX for mentioning our project! 🙂 Have fun with it! Once it works well in the official OPL Beta-builds, it's going to be better than it is right now.
I was about to give up, Until I saw your tutorial how to put games on the Mx4sio, Followed the steps and it actually works! Wish I could shake your hand and thank you!
Bro, you saved my life and from almost throwing my PS2 at the wall, thanks to your video, I managed to get OPL loader to read the sdcard from the M4XSIO (also ordered from aliexpress).
Thank you so much Mr. Crump! I got a PS2 set with one of these cards and a sony memory card with FreeMcBoot and thought the card was defective. Thanks to you all my games save 🥳
@@tnaplastic2182 how come the newest one or any other opl version doesnt detect games for me? Only one I was able to get working was the 1917 that you linked to on psxplace. :(
@taskentlutsow2110 yes. On slot 1. Mx4sio is on slot 2.. it will only save in mx4sio sd card if i setup virtual MC. But it gets corrupted most of the time.
I have tried both of these files on my ps2 phat. I followed your instructions to the letter, but when i reboot abd select either 1627 or 1629, i just get a black screen. I have tried several times now, with same result, black screen. I did notice there were 4 files when i unzipped them, do i only need the two elf files for 1627/1629, or should the other files be placed somewhere else? Regards Andy
Did you let it go for a little while? Might take 10 seconds or so. I get a black screen but then after a while OPL boots up. You just need the .elf file.
Good Info. I got a combo package that came with both FMCB and SD reader but having a hard time playing games (some freeze loading) on my Fat model, do you recommend I try and upgrade to this beta version?
Hello Michael, Thank you for this video, your calm and pedagogical voice is a delight! I have recently purchased the all in one kit from Ali Express, containing The FMCB, MX4SIO and a 64GB Microdrive SD card. My problem is the SD card is read by my PC as RAW drive, and I can't do anything with it, I have to format it but I always get an error message. I'm using a brand new card reader and i've tried other SD cards that works well. Do you happen to know what's the problem with this card? Did i do anything wrong with it? Thanks again!
Just to be clear, if I plan on buying both the FMCB Memory Card and the MXSIO card from aliexpress I can still use the exact instructions you've laid out for installing the correct version of OPL? With the ability to save games? Because that would be the simplest way for me to do it and the instructions you've given are the clearest and easiest to follow I've seen yet,much appreciated for all your work on this.
I heard that the PS1 hardware has access to the memory card slot so it might be possible in the future to get MX4SIO to play PS1 games without POPs that would be so epic all PS2 games on HDD & all PS1 games on MX4SIO useing read PS1 hardware
I’ve got to the part where I’ve done the free mcboot configurator steps and about to load the 1629 option from the fmcb menu but when I select it the screen just goes black and nothing happens. Anyone know why? Any help would be really appreciated
The official OPL Beta-builds work stable since longer than 2 weeks and Silent Hill 2 works since the very first MX4SIO Test-build! Try the newest official OPL Beta!
I recently got a Japanese PS2 fat model (SCPH-18000), and I was wondering if this will work with MX4SIO and the FMCB? Unfortunately the ps2 model I got had no HDD expansion bay so I had to resort to other alternatives.
Hi sir i recently buy mx4sio from Amazon (bitfunx) , but it does not showing any games, My ps2 is scph 900004 model, iam using opl 1.2.0 beta & Opl 1.1.0---1629, both opl versions are not showing games, but the same memory card showing all games via usb port using sd card reader, what should I do? Please give your suggestion. Thank you...
My MX4SIO stopped working out of nowhere, they aren't the contacts of the memory card, neither the PS2 ones, they can die all of a sudden? (The FMCB memory cards)
I'd say ditch the USB method. I also did that method for years and it is too slow. I'd go with this method or get a ps2 phat with network adapter and hdd.
@@mbcrump I fully agree. Just for the sake of completing the information, I will mention that OPL 1.0.0 is currently still quite a bit faster than those newer OPL versions with the new BDM as a "backbone".
@@natepup1211 yeah format your sd card/usb with exfat, the new opl version supports it. now you don't need to use usbutil to make 4gb+ games in chunks in order to play em
what a mess!! That old, hacked version run ONCE on my PS2 and never started again, I took the cards to another PS2 and it worked on another one but then surprise, not a single game I installed (well I'm not saying nothing works but compatibility seams to be super thin) works anymore wile all of them worked on the latest OPL but with no save... WASTE OF TIME AND DISAPPOINTMENT :( Why does everyone make videos about how great it is but not a single video other than you ever addmits save games do not work, how are people supposed to use it without save games, it's useless :(
Man I just don't want to fork over $40 for a 512 SD card. Does anyone know where I can get a large capacity SD card for cheap? I'm fine with generic but I don't want to use any of the backwater sites like aliexpress. I have a dispute going on with a seller on aliexpress right now. I just need a SD card that's at a affordable price. $20 for a 256-512gb sd card is in my budget.

hey so you have to make the vmc on pc for some reason i have seen it said on pcx place but no one is explain it so go figure
@@summerleeye588 Simple... It takes VERY long PER VMC in OPL, because DMA-Write-Support for MX4SIO is not YET implemented!
@@tnaplastic2182 could you send me where you got that Information from I have not been able to find it on my own. Could you please?

The newest official OPL Beta build supports MX4SIO WITH SAVING! 😁
The 1.2.0 that was updated 3 days ago?
@@thegamingboi1959 There is only a 1.2.0 *Beta* and rev 1920 is recommended, because those after it are bugged.
@@tnaplastic2182 how come the newest one or any other opl version doesnt detect games for me? Only one I was able to get working was the 1917 that you linked to on psxplace. :(
@@shanomacdaddy I don't know. Try "BDM4"! Also try the very newest Beta from a few hours ago!
@@tnaplastic2182 how’s the project now? I’m a week old to all this stuff but I think I want to get one if it’s running smooth and able to save. Thanks
thx for your help this saved me a lot trouble shooting and searching. great :)
Thanks for this Video help me out was struggling to find software now i can use my slim ps2 easy to follow .👍👍
Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
My DIY MX4SIO worked on both 90001 and 75001. I used the official beta 1.2.0 opl.
Can you save games?
@taskentlutsow2110 yes. On slot 1. Mx4sio is on slot 2.. it will only save in mx4sio sd card if i setup virtual MC. But it gets corrupted most of the time.

Hey when I Open my Custom OPL i have Black screen And nothing Happens what should I do?
How does it compare to network to storage adaptor? Did you test God of War? Will it work with MicroSD and SD adaptor?
Great video thank you that's sooo helpful of you to create. 💪
Good Info. I got a combo package that came with both FMCB and SD reader but having a hard time playing games (some freeze loading) on my Fat model, do you recommend I try and upgrade to this beta version?
I would love if you talk more about PS2, thanks!
can u make an another video on this? there is a latest OPL 1.2.0

They probably write a pre-made image/blob of the whole SD card (in FAT32) to any card and don't test them.

I'm trying with fat ps2 and i followed all the steps with the 1627 opl. But in 12:26 , when I click to 1627 it only shows a black screen.

you need to change your block settings & select the MX4SIO option
@@JLMtime thks bro, i find my mx4sio problem, few days back i changed my sd card now it works perfectly... (sd card not supported)
My MX4SIO stopped working out of nowhere, they aren't the contacts of the memory card, neither the PS2 ones, they can die all of a sudden? (The FMCB memory cards)
I've been thinking about getting one of these for awhile. I currently have a external hdd that I use with OPL. It does the job but is slow at times.
I'd say ditch the USB method. I also did that method for years and it is too slow. I'd go with this method or get a ps2 phat with network adapter and hdd.
@@mbcrump I fully agree. Just for the sake of completing the information, I will mention that OPL 1.0.0 is currently still quite a bit faster than those newer OPL versions with the new BDM as a "backbone".
use EXFAT format f you want to play more than 4GB game file like God of war
so use that in general or just to download those games?
@@natepup1211 yeah format your sd card/usb with exfat, the new opl version supports it. now you don't need to use usbutil to make 4gb+ games in chunks in order to play em
@@reetsa4203 The 1.1.0 version or the beta version?
Can FreeMcBoot be installed on this device AND run games from it at the same time, or do you need a FreeMcBoot card separately from this device?
McBoot can't be installed on an MX4SIO. You need to have it on a separate memory card.
i pasted the 1629 opl to my slim and now it wont boot fmcb
keep this up the reddit for this is dead right now
Hello does virtual MC card working on this opl version and does It support other formats like exfat or ntfs?
Just get the newest official OPL Beta build! It works now!
I wonder if the cinematics run smooth on this device.
So far yes! I have almost beat red faction and they played great. I also played a few more titles to test. More testing to come through.
@@mbcrump All right! Thanks for answering. Looking forward to the upcoming tests. Best regards ^^
