For anyone following this guide in 2022 and wants to play Online PS2 Games: Testing the PS2's internet connection is difficult because the PS2 DNAS servers were taken offline in 2016. However there's a way around this. I had to troubleshoot with my Original FFXI PS2 HDD, my network adapter disc and several network adapters new and used to finally figure this out - When connecting your PS2 to the internet for the very first time, make sure you have a NAT Type 1 connection to the internet; Even if it means unplugging everything else and directly connecting your PS2 to your network. Once your PS2 makes that first connection to the internet, it'll work 100%. The problem with PS2 Online Gaming in 2022, is that you need network settings saved to your memory card to get online. The Network Disc 2.0 and 3.0 that comes with the network adapters, connect to the internet first, then runs DNAs to authenticate it. But because DNAs servers were taken down in 2016, you can't save it to your memory card. The best games to test out your network settings on are late PS2 games Like Phantasy Star Universe 1 and 2. Because they allow you to create, save and test your network settings from the title screen, without a DNAS check. Monster Hunter is also good too, but you'll need to create a character first to access the network settings. I haven't tired other online games yet, but games like DDR SuperNova and RE Outbreak file 1, won't work for testing because they will not allow you to save your connection. TL;DR. To get your sata PS2 to play online games in 2022. 1)use Phantasy Star Universe to create, test and save your network settings from the title screen. 2) When connecting your PS2 to the internet for the very first time, make sure you have a NAT Type 1 connection to the internet; Even if it means unplugging everything else and directly connecting your PS2 to your network. Once your PS2 makes that first connection to the internet, it'll work 100%. Hope this helps to anyone reading this in 2022 and beyond.
I'd also like to add the Nat type 1 nonscence isn't necessary, don't know why this guy is having issues. Create your net settings, plug in an ethernet cable and off you go!
Like he’s doing approximately here folks 10:21 make sure to wind the cables and connector so that the white cable goes up and rotates around. If you can make sense of what I’m sayin, which is what he’s doing, it will save you a lot of rage
I have a question, what is the name of the "base" (so to speak) that you use to mount the 2.5 "hdd sata so that it does not move inside the ps2? where you bought it? Great review!
Having said this, despite the slight butchery of the original adapter's *very* secure fixtures, the replacement SATA adapter does work... I was concerned there could be a shorting issue or too much flex without the original baseplate, but as it happens, even the original is kind of loose by design, and I've had no issues with my HDD.

the ribbon cable sometimes comes with writting on the back or front. if anyone was using that as a guideline, don't. use the board orientation. if you attach the ribnon cable and can reasonable screw it into place where it should be, its in the right spot and connected properly. check it before connecting the ribbon cable. or just do blue side up

The ribbon cable will not attach to the connector on the board. There is no lever or latch to open it, it's just a flat connector and the ribbon cable won't go in
Use this instead of the generic Game Star gives more compatibility and less issues while playing?? For example, in Out Run 2006, the in race music don't sound.
Thanks for this! I thought I'd be choosing between either a functioning ethernet port or a SATA drive (or I guess fucking around with adapters) but I'm glad this exists
Sometimes the HDD will not plug in properly, but after a few tries of taking out the HDD and plugging it back in (when the console is off, obviously), it works. Also, you did format the HDD into PS2 format right?
Genuinely mad at myself trying to do this upgrade because I got all the Phillips screws from the sides all off, but when I tried to take the smaller ones off to be able to flip that once piece over, one of them I was able to unscrew just fine, but the other, no matter how much I tried, it just wouldn't agree with my screw driver that I used. It didn't make sense as to why just the one couldn't unscrew and now that one screw is completely stripped and I can't take that piece out. I don't know what to do now :/
Last resort is to just drill the screw out (once you drilled the head off you should be able to grab the rest with pliers and twist it out) and then searching for a replacement screw
@@EpicLPer I won’t deny I am no pro when it comes to this and I’m going to sound stupid, but for such a small screw, I’m not sure how to drill the head off ;_;

PS2 emulation isn't fully accurate yet and many games have gnarly visual bugs as a result. on top of this, games that use pressure sensitive face button functionality require a DualShock 3 and special HID drivers to utilize them properly. if you want to play the PS2 Metal Gear games, emulation is not good enough.
@@LittleVboh how does Aether handle pressure sensitivity? because without it you cant aim without firing, or hold people up without immediately killing them. and every emulator has visual bugs, whether you notice or are bothered by them is a different question.
