Recently I've been testing out the UDPBD Server tool on Windows 11 (also works in Linux and MacOS) which is a custom network protocol that should have better performance for PS2 games instead of using the SMB method.
I personally love this solution since it is less hassle and easier to setup initially when compared to SMB.
If not obvious, you need a way to run the custom build of OPL and then if you want to do the USB method, put your DVD ISO games into the "DVD" folder or the bin/cue files in the "CD" folder.
Some tips if you have issues getting this to work on your end:
1) Disable firewall or allow the server through the firewall.
2) Check your Ethernet cable to ensure you have connection either to your PS2 or router.
3) If doing direct connect to PS2, set a static ip address on PC within the 192.168.1.X network.
If router method, then enable DHCP and make sure the router is assigning ip addresses within the 192.168.1.X network.
Any other issues, contact the PSX-SCENE discord or forums for more help, enjoy!

![MAME Emulator PS2 OPL Tutorial (2019)
Todays tutorial I will show you how to load the MAME emulator with games (CD version) using the USB method and OPL for a modded PS2.
Please note MAME performance is not the best, and your MAME fix maybe better elsewhere like xbox, ps3, PC, or other more capable hardware device.
However, the idea of playing MAME on a PS2 is still awesome! Enjoy!
Note: If you want to see the MAME performance, go to 6:10

![Open PS2 Loader (OPL) 1.0.0 Released! FMCB Install Tutorial (2021, English)
Todays tutorial I do a quick overview of where you can get OPL 1.0.0, and how to install it to your memory card if you are a FMCB user. You do not have to put the .elf file on the memory card, and you can run it off of USB or internal hard drive, if you wish.
Please note this version of OPL does not allow you to play .vcd files for popstarter games.
If that is important for you, either run a different version of OPL that supports popstarter games, or run popstarter games manually through ULaunchELF. Enjoy!
BTW, big thanks to Maximus32 and rest of OPL devs and community for making this release and seeing the light of day. The PS2 community is very excited to see whats in the future!

![FunTuna - FMCB for Fortuna Tutorial (English, 2020)
Im excited to present today (9/3/20) the first English video on YouTube about FunTuna, which is a method to run FMCB on your PS2 slim consoles!
The only caveat is you need a method to install the FunTuna .psu file to your memory card. This can be done via FreeDVDBoot (assuming your laser is good and you can boot the burnt disc), or if you have an alternative way (modchip, friend, etc.) where you can somehow run UlaunchElf whether that is from disc or pre-installed Fortuna project memory card.
Once you get that part figured out, then installing FunTuna is really easy.
Note: FunTuna is recommended over Fortuna, it fixes bugs and is more stable. Plus, you get the flexibility that comes with FMCB, so you can add more apps, map them to the home screen, and reap the rewards just like other PS2 users who have had FMCB for years. Enjoy!

![[How To] FTP Files To PS2 Using UlaunchELF and FlashFXP
If your PS2 is running UlaunchELF, did you know you can setup a static IP address to it so you can easily transfer files to it?
Yes, actually you can and its pretty cool. I use FlashFXP so I can transfer cover art files and .elf files to the PS2 back and forth without the hassle of using USB. I love it and Im sure you will too. Enjoy!
Note: This assumes you have a softmodded or modchip PS2 that can run UlaunchELF. If you do not, then this tutorial will not help you, sorry!

Todays tutorial is from a youtube subscriber request and Ill show you how to FTP connect to your CFW PS3 without using a router. All we will be using is an Ethernet cable that goes from the computer/laptop into the back of the PS3.
This method is useful for those instances where your PS3 isnt connected to a router or switch, yet you want the fast network transfer speeds. Copying files to the PS3 over a wired connection is so much better than using wireless or USB! Enjoy!
Notes:
1) Make sure to install rebug toolbox and enable webman mod from rebug toolbox.
2) Alternative is run rebug toolbox and sit there and then connect to ps3 via ftp.
