I'm revisiting this topic from a video I made several years ago to serve as a quick refresher for those who are new and veteran to the PS2 modding/homebrew scene. This assumes you have a method to launch homebrew programs on your PS2.
This tutorial shows how to use OPL Manager v22.3 to scrape cover art, which will put it into the "ART" folder whether that is on your USB, ps2 hard drive, or SMB shared folder. In OPL, make sure to enable the cover art settings, and you are good to go. Enjoy!

![Spoof All PS3 DEX To 4.83 Using SEN Enabler v6.1.0
With the latest 4.83 OFW out and no official 4.83 DEX Rebug yet, it is strongly advisable that if you are running 4.82 DEX or lower that you spoof your system to 4.83 to minimize your chance of ban, and it may also fix your online sign in woes!
See video tutorial on the process, but basically get latest version of SEN ENABLER, run it, enable SEN access, restart PS3, spoof/disable your CFW using PSNpatch (or other means) and then log in. Good times!

![Backport PS4 6.72 Games to 5.05 - Simple Method (2020)
Todays tutorial is for those who are still fortunate enough to have a 5.05 PS4 system. I will showcase the PS4 Back Porter v1.4 program made by Modded Warfare, and show how simple it is to create backport patches for your favorite games.
I cannot guarantee the program will work for all games, so if it doesnt, then maybe its time to consider to update to 6.72. Todays example showcases Marvels Spider-Man and it works great on 5.05! Enjoy!
Note: I still like to use the USB method to install my package files. If you prefer the network method and install your package files using the remote installer, by all means go ahead!

In my previous PS2 on CFW PS3 tutorial, we had to go through a long and cumbersome process with reACTPSN and also with ps2 classic conversion.
Todays tutorial goes away from all of that. Starting with Rebug 4.76 and higher (CEX or DEX), you can simply rip your PS2 games to ISO, create a virtual memory card, and just play.
Dualshock 3 controller works via wireless and everything else just plays great. Enjoy!

![CFW PS3 - Ultimate Retro Gaming Machine Showcase Demo 2018
Today I wanted to showcase a cool CFW PS3 setup that Ive been working on for awhile now for a friend of mine, and to give PS3 gamers (or newcomers) on some ideas of what they can do with their PS3 once its modded.
In this instance, I added ps1, ps2, ps3 games (with coverart), and then on the side added old school roms to play thru RetroArch.
Really, the PS3 can be a all in one machine for all your old school gaming needs. Sure, I suppose this can be done similarly with a raspberry pi, but it isnt the same, right?
Anyway, its not a tutorial but something different for the channel. Enjoy!

![Fortuna Project - FMCB Alternative for all PS2 Slim Models! (English, 2020)
In todays video, I am going over the Fortuna Project, which is a recent development that allows you to load homebrew .elf files on all PS2 slim models (and PS2 TV). This means newest PS2 slim (9K series) that were not compatible with FMCB over a certain date code can now run homebrew!
PS2 fat models are not supported as of 2/5/2020, so keep an eye on the project as time continues.
The big caveat is you need to find a way to get the Fortuna project files onto your memory card in the first place. This can be done by using an existing modded PS2 with modchip or FMCB to copy the files over. If you have a memory card to PC adapter, that is another alternative.
For those interested, I can provide FMCB or Fortuna memory cards for a fee if you dont want to take a chance with a shady seller online.
Enjoy!
Note: If you are looking to purchase a FMCB/Fortuna memory card, email me at vstpower at gmail dot com and lets discuss.
