In today's tutorial, I quickly show you my setup of how I used a raspberry pi 5 (although older versions will work fine too) with a PS2. In my case, I am doing a direct Ethernet connection between both devices, but no reason why you couldn't use an Ethernet switch or router (for more advanced users).
This is simple way to play PS2 games over the network and not get bogged down with SMB network details. You could also replace the PI 5 with a linux machine and be able to do the same. Enjoy!

![[Proof of Concept] Popstarter on Fat PS2 Internal Hard Drive Test [2016]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Cj1vo8DwrM0/mqdefault.jpg "[Proof of Concept] Popstarter on Fat PS2 Internal Hard Drive Test [2016]
Todays video is a quick proof of concept to show you that popstarter on internal hard drive of the fat PS2 does work, and when it works, it works well!
The final tutorial Im still figuring out best way to do it. There is a lot of stuff to cover, and Im debating to make one long video (easily 15+ minutes) or make smaller parts. Well see what happens.
I dont know everything there is about popstarter, but I know enough now to get the basics covered.
In the meantime, I hope this video gives you some hope and interest in PS2 gaming!
Misc Notes and Corrections:
1) Popstarter does support virtual memory cards. I was mistaken in the video.

![[How To] Install PS2 Games to USB for OPL 0.9.3 Simple Tutorial (2017)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/E8QlEuVPNuM/mqdefault.jpg "[How To] Install PS2 Games to USB for OPL 0.9.3 Simple Tutorial (2017)
Todays video will help anyone who is new to using OPL 0.9.3 and want to know what is the easiest and simplest way to get their PS2 games working on USB hard drives (or flash drives) so they can start playing now and stop troubleshooting.
The summary is as follows:
1) Format usb drive as fat32, primary and active partition.
2) Put your ISO games in a DVD folder (or CD folder) depending on file size (less than 4.3GB for DVD, 700MB or less for CD)
3) If you have ISO file larger than 4.3GB, then use USBUtil V2.0 or USBExtreme to split the games and save them to the root of your usb drive.
Enjoy!

![Playing PS2 Games With OPL and PS3/PS4 Controllers Over Bluetooth [Proof of Concept]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EmPBbYIL7fo/mqdefault.jpg "Playing PS2 Games With OPL and PS3/PS4 Controllers Over Bluetooth [Proof of Concept]
In todays proof of concept video, I am using the latest OPL Daily Build (as of 5/23/18) and using FMCB to boot the OPL program, I can configure any game to use a PS3 or PS4 controller to play with a USB cable, or over Bluetooth with a USB dongle that supports EDR technology.
It is pretty cool. The analog sticks do work, and so does the digital DPAD. If you are a PS2 gamer and you dream of playing wirelessly with first party controllers, now is your time to shine! Enjoy and full tutorial coming in the near future.
