Make sure your game as a game id at the begin of it’s name Make sure your ISO name are not excessively long It’s actually quite straight forward, you need to follow only 2 points: If you don’t do this they will not show up. You will need to follow the naming convention for your ISO’s. I went down the path of using an extension called Tuxera NTFS which as a 15 days trial.Īn alternative would be to install Parallel or something similar and run windows. The only issue is, as a mac user, I had to look for a way to access and manage the files. NTFS which has no size limit and is a native windows format but is not supported on mac by default.īased on this, NTFS is a no brainer because most of the games I wanted to play are over the 4gb limit.

There is ways to get around this but require splitting the files which make this process a bit tedious. FAT32 which can be manage on both Mac and Windows but you are limited to having iso’s under 4gb. When it comes to formatting your USB drive to work with SMB you have 2 options: Ethernet cable (a normal Cat5 or Cat6, not cross over) Micro usb power supply for the Pi, most android phone charger works USB drive, would suggest to at least get a 32gb Raspberry pi 2 or 3 or other hardware compatible with Rasbian which has the required ports (Ethernet, usb, etc…) Memory card with FMCB and Open Ps2 Loader installed If you found this guide helpful feel free to Buy Me a Coffee to support this I’ve also tried to make this guide as simple as possible so that it is not necessary to have experience with Linux although some basic understanding is preferred.

This setup look lengthy but is actually quite straight forward when you know what is involve, it should take between 30min to probably more than an hour depending of how familiar your are with Linux. So far haven't come across a laggy FMV with this setup.

The point of this is to by pass the PS2 slow USB1 slot and basically run games and FMV at near full speed. This guide will help you setting up a Raspberry Pi to stream games to a PS2. While playing with this setup I was taking some notes an though compiling this into a step by step guide would benefit the community more than sitting on my laptop so after a bit of effort there it is.
