- One of my highly requested tutorial for PS2 nerds is finally here! Today I will show you how to use the raspberry pi 4 and do smb share with your PS2 games on USB over Ethernet using psx-pi-smbshare courtesy to toolboc at github. Enjoy!
Note: This video assumes you already know how to use a raspberry pi 4 and install a linux image of your choice. Then we run the following code:
cd ~
wget -O setup.sh raw.githubuser...
chmod 755 setup.sh
sudo ./setup.sh
Once code is completed, insert your usb flash drive that has your ps2 games, and then OPL will see them under your Ethernet tab.

Are you a ps2 fan? How about a raspberry pi user? Combine the two and what you get? The best of both worlds! What are your favorite PS2 games of all time, lets hear it!
So nice that you still coveeing the ps2, it ia auch a pain in the ass to mod ps2 and there are just a few step by step tutorials out there. THANKS MAN!
WWE HCTP, BLACK, NFS MW, BURNOUT REVENGE, GOD OF WAR
the Simpson game and ice age and tmnt
I love how this guy is still making videos about the ps2 5+ years later. Thanks a lot
For anyone curious, this works flawlessly with Pi 3's. I have a 3b+ and i was able to just write Raspberry Pi OS onto it, do exactly what he did in the video with that apt code, and then boom just plugged it into my PS2 as a test and it great. Plus you get the added benefits of SMB Sharing and Putty! Thanks for the great video like always versatile!
That same tutorial works on my Raspberry PI 3 too :)
Thanks!
Nice version PS2 Slim did u used
Im not able to run sudo commands, how do you did this? it always say you should not run this script as sudo. it freaks me out im googleing for hours finding nothing working
I just run the command without "sudo" but it's not working, at least it runs some code.
Watching since 2016!
Thanks for your support. Even though the new xbox and ps5 is here, PS2 still gets some love, right? lol
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia Yeah !, PS2's NOT DEAD! 😂
Thank you. Will try it one day. Currently have 2TB fat ps2. Love ur chnl. Thank you for sharing.
OPL 1.0.0 is officially realised and it fixed all the problems with the games
exp:in god of war 2 no more laggy cut scenes or random freezing
Thanks for the confirmation!
My guy thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for, so glad that you made this tutorial
Thx for your help man I just got a backwards compatible ps3 its in mint condition.
Doing this today. i've watched this guide and looked at the Github over and over and over. every time i get Error 301. cannot log into SMB server. my OPL network settings match exactly to yours and the github. i am using a Pi 4 as well. for the life of me i cannot figure it out.
Me too. I've tried both the Pi 4B and the Pi Zero 2W and both throw that error
Oh, another quesiton - can you move files to the raspberry pi's USB drive via a wireless network WHILE connected to your PS2? Or do you need to disconnect the USB drive and add files to it directly?
I'm not linux guru, I would think yes. But I personally would transfer to the usb manually since my wifi speeds are slower than usb 2.0 or usb 3.0 transfer speeds.
Yes. You can use som ftp like filezilla
What i did to get it working on a raspberry Pi 4 was i installed the latest raspberry Pi os 64bit. Pluged in the ethernet cable from the router for internet and didnt set up the wifi.i ran the scripts with my blank usb drive inserted. It creates the folders for you. Put my game into DVD folder and set my network settings to the screen shot but i changed the ip address, which can be found in the raspberry Pi desktop top right corner. And pluged a regular ethernet cable from the pi to the ps2.
As an alternative, retronas for the pi is nice solution too.
Mine keeps saying "exited to due to presence of USB storage". Did you format in NTFS or exFAT?
I used fat32
Did you use the 2.0 port or 3.0 port, mine just keeps closing Samba then exiting because of the USB storage. Then the connection to the PI closes due to a "client loop" or something
3.0 also used a powered usb hub because I don't think my SSD was getting enough power
Hey, great video. Would it be possible to power the raspberry pi via the ps2? I want to make a compact ps2 build, taking out the disc reader and putting a raspberry pi zero in there. Any tips?
Keep the good work :)
Yes it can work with usb ports, I remember testing it. Don't be surprised if your usb add on devices if they suck up too much current, maybe something doesn't work. Good luck on the project. Keep me posted!
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia If I power the Raspberry Pi using both of the ps2's USB ports with a USB Y cable, would it fix the problem of lack of power to the Raspberry Pi?
Thanks for making these videos it'll be very helpful for when I actually get the RPI 4
Wasn't sure if it's compatible with this model but it also works for Raspberry PI 3 also apparently :-)
I left a comment on the github for rpi4 and you can also look up retronas too
Can you make a tutorial on how to connect orange pi zero 3 openwrt with ps2?
Soooo awesome! I will try this oit im actuall still using omv will try this one :)
Hey man I have a fat series PS2 end it is fully working I’m trying to play guitar hero three and five but I do not have a jailbreak on it and I don’t want to buy the game so can you help
Uh, so what are you asking? The world is your oyster so go ahead and choose how you want to tackle this mission. I'm sure the viewers here will enjoy giving you tips, but what you are asking is borderline questionable for a public platform such as youtube.
I just need to know how to jailbreak my fat PS two I have a rafter adapter I don’t think I have the right memory card to do it but if you could like message me the files I need to put on the memory card for free mc boots or something that would be really cool and by the way keep up your great videos I love them :-)
@@isaiahoqhdbejwoqhebdn Best to discuss on discord, but short answer is see if FreeDVDBoot works on your PS2 or not. If not, and you have a way to boot a IDE hard drive, look into FHDB. Or purchase a FMCB memory card (I sell some). Whatever solution you get working, then you can run OPL and play your favorite games for eternity.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia where do you sell them
I will gladly buy one
Great video. Im gonna do this soon since all my "backup" dvd games are skipping (dying laser i bet). Are both the speed of the usb ports and ethernet port on the Pi important ? Id imagine older Pi's with usb1.0 and 2.0 would be slower right? Or is the speed / performance of the games running purely based on the speed of the the ethernet port ?
Think I answered my own question, tested this with a super old RPi i had (Pi1 B+ model) and the games work without any slowdown (the games i tested anyway). Kinda glad i dind't shell on out a 2nd RPi4 lol. I take it instead of a 64GB USB stick, i could use a external hard drive hooked up to the Pi's USB port instead ? Can't see it being any different...
Correct as long as it gets enough power or use a externally powered hard drive.
A lot of good times 👍
You got that right!
puedes hacer un tutrial de como conectar una ORANGE PI ZERO 3 con OPENWRT con ps2
Nice projects i have the materials, i'll try it on my off duty time
Nice one, I would like to ask if u can use raspberry pi for debugging on the ps2.
Raspberry Pi 5 iis out if Raspberry Pi 4 gets discontinued we will be stuck.
Nice tutorial. Btw for the usb stick or HDD, can we use NTFS?
Sorry for late comment, but I would think so yes
Big thanks for this project and tutorial
BTW, i use VMC for all the game but saving process is very slow. Googling and found workaround to add strict sync = no in etc/samba/smb.conf, but when i save and reboot, the file back to default. Can you help to fix this? Thanks
I don't use vmc so can't be much help here unfortunately. Maybe psx-place has more help at the forums
usb power from ps2 is not enough?
Do you drop the files onto your USB storage as is or does it need to have a naming convention for it to work? Can the ISO be in it's own game folder such as "Marvel Vs. Capcom 2" with it's associated ISO inside that? Same with .bin cue? Can we power RPI from PS2 USB Port?
See my 2020 usb A to Z video on how to do usb gaming right. Yes, the pi can be powerd from ps2 USB port if I remember correctly.
I use a raspberry pi zero. Works great.
Rpi zero doesn't get enough love around here, good job
Actually, testing my setup a lot in the last days I experienced long load screens and other slowdowns. I dont recommend using the zero as smb server for ps2. It doesn't work great at all.
@@ArthurFreitas96 thanks for feedback
@@ArthurFreitas96 i used to use a 4 but i switched to a zero w with a usb 3.0 port hub. i find the loading times are the same and it works great. make sure your usb hub is 3.0, i'm not sure but perhaps a 2.0 may be too slow. by the time you get a good usb hub it's almost worth just getting a pi with a built in ethernet port, though i do like how the zero w + usb hub is so small
@@ahfdvifsvsdv I was searching why the network speed was so slow and indeed, i tried with a usb 2.0 ethernet adapter and usb 2.0 hub. Got only 5 MB/s. Tried with the enc28j60 module too and got only 3.7 MB/s average speed. I was indeed wandering if a usb 3.0 ethernet adapter and usb 3.0 hub could solve my problem and I'm glad to know that it works. I'm getting one of them asap. Thank you for your report :)
Did you use a crossover cable in this video or not?, Because when i try use straight ethernet cable it doesnt work and i dont know whether the problem is in the cable, laptop or in the ethernet port
In this video I did not but, but then again, my computer is newer within last 10 years. I would think computers now are smart enough to take the straight ethernet cable and do the crossover. Try a different straight cable see if that helps.
Thank you for this informative tutorial
one question, why using usb?! I mean isn't it better to copy to PI SD so games runs faster?
if to use usb then run it directly from ps2, maybe I am missing some points here however thought to share it with you
Is a class 10 microsd speed wise faster than usb 2.0? For a cleaner look sure, but for convenience I like usb so I can go to my windows machine and add more games drag and drop and storage on usb is larger and cheaper, but that's just me.
"why using usb?" in my case because my 16gb sd card has no more space after installing Rasbian for a 2gb/4gb/8gb Ps2 game
"if to use usb then run it directly from ps2"
No, the usb is used as a store unit plus, the raspberry pi (4 in my case) usb is better than the Ps2 one. The games still runs as fast as if the game its store on the sd card, meaning, the game runs full speed via smd ;)
PS2 has USB 1.1 only. The maximum data troughput with USB 1.1 (I/O) is very slow. At maximum speed, you´ll get 12 Mbit/s. For comparison, the built-in PS2 network interface has 100 Mbit/s
can I do this with a cheaper model and will the process be the same (raspberry pi 3)?
Yes I've done older tutorial on pi3 and even the pi zero w the cheapest of them all (but it needs accessories so maybe not that cheap)
I did exactly what you did nothing pops up. I have a usb in my pie 4 and the directory is SMBSHARE/share/DVD/iso. I even changed USB’s. Is my path incorrect?
The path is not what I would expect, too many nested folders. The PS2 when it sees SMBSHARE, one of the root folders is DVD. In your case, I think the PS2 sees a folder called 'share' which is why its throwing it off.
can someone help with the following:
- can i just turn the pi on and off, and the ps2 will detect the games (without me having to login to the pi with a monitor etc)
- does the pi have to be on a network?
Thank you!
Do the games have to be in iso format? If so is there any special route I should take to format it? And where do u find the ps2 games
The games can be converted to root folder using usb util 2.0 for example. Games that are shared over smb whether that is pi4 or pc can be stored on fat32 or ntfs drives. Discussing where to find ps2 games is not allowed here, but a good google search can find you something I'm sure. See the ps2 playlist, I have more basic ps2 tutorials that will give you better understanding of some of the fundamentals.
Do i need a Raspberry Pi 4 8gb to make this work??
It does work with the raspberry pi zero (Just tested it)
I've done with pi zero w, so yes.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia is it possible to connect ps2 via ethernet to wlan router and then over wlan to pi zero w?
So I have a question, I tried using the daily builds of OPL via USB, my games don't load. So I'm using version 9.3 of OPL,. Any ideas why it won't load?
Sometimes newer versions break game compatibility for whatever reason
Nice tutorial :F
I tried the instructions with the Raspberry Pi 4B. I connected it with the Ethernet cable, turned both the PS2 slim and Pi on, and it still indicates that it cannot read games on the hard drive. Is there something I’ve missed? I did disconnect the old RPi 3B+ with the power on when it began to fail. Would this be a possible cause? Or is it safe to disconnect the Ethernet cable with power on?
I have pi 4b 4gb model and it works fine, did you see the github tutorial? Also, make sure the ps2 iso games are named properly on the usb share, try using opl manager v21.7 to fix it.
don't have the reconnect button or any signs that anything works :/
did i miss something?
github.com/toolboc/psx-pi-smbshare check this out to help
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia found another, more detailed video from this channel there, thanks!
I wanna try this on a Pi Zero 2 W, since it’s just a very small Pi 3A+
I got a pi zero 2 w myself, but I need to figure out how to do it similar. I saw there was a newer buster release, need to see if it works with the pi psx smb share image.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia I got it working :)
@@Jayanky can you share what you did. Recently did latest pi image and latest github script. It's like my usb isn't auto mount to smb for either pi4 or pi zero w 2. I think it's a simple fix if I can figure out how to fix it...
Is there any way to configure it to not only use the root of the usb drive? IE - having a usb HDD with other files on it, so having everything (games / opl folder structure) in a folder called "PS2" or something?
I'm sure there is if you know your way around Linux. Can ask for help on github and create a help ticket
Dude can you please help me. I really want to play ps2 via network share and I have already plugged it with ethernet cable. But unfortunately my ps2 is serie 90006 slim and as I have heard I cant load freemcboot in it and I am so confused rn. Can you help me? What you reccomend?
Look into funtuna project, that should help.
Does this support writing to the connected thumb drive to for example use vmc via opl or rename game scia opl? With your old methods usind fat or ntfs drives under linux opl had no write access to the stick, had to complicated format it intu ext4 with root access
Not sure as I don't vmc, give it a try
Can you please tell if THIS is better or the TP Link travel router? If both would cost about the same? Minus hdd.
Each one has its pros and cons. Are you a tinker or want something simple? Both accomplishes the same needs and performance. TP link router is quicker to setup with the gui, pi 4 is a bit more involved, but if you get bored with it, you can repurpose the pi 4 into whatever you want since it is a mini linux computer.
@@ProjectPhoenixMediaThank you. Although Pi cost me thrice the routers cost but yes I do like to tinker around. I am using ssh button app on Android and have setup a ssh button widget on my phone to send shutdown command once I'm done using it. So all in all very happy! Thanks!
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia Can you tell about the shutdown button you've added there? My sister has been using the PS2 and pulling the plug on Pi 4.
Not working, error 300. Tried this, manual install and config, OpenMediaVault. Always error 300. I got once error 310, but switched back to error 300
Since then I've moved over to the pi psx smbshare, give it a try? github.com/toolboc/psx-pi-smbshare
do i need a cross over cable if im following ur portable router video
No, straight cat5 cable for example works
It says error 300 cannot connect to network. I am using the most recent smb share and fmcb. But it only works with usb in 1.1, raspberrypi not plugged in!
I made a smb solution at the GitHub, or check out retronas for another smb solution.
Would this work in any Linux distribution? Or just the raspberry pi version
Any linux that can do smb share will work.
I saw some sdcard modded ones. Are they any good. What problems can come in sd modded ones.
Are you talking about mx4sio? It is better than usb, but not as good as ethernet and game compatibility at this time.
Sorry, me again. Can you confirm which OPL and OS versions you used?
Use the latest versions. OPL 1.0.0 or higher, and then I use github.com/toolboc/psx-pi-smbshare
I have one question is smb better than usb?
Ofc

@@a.d.sstudioanimation6438 simple the ethernet port the support for it is much higher cuz it was INTENDED to be part of the gameplay aka the online multiplayer games the reason usb stutter and all is its ports are 1.1 it was never meant to be for anything remotly close to acutally running games from it sucks that sony didnt at least in slim 7000 and super slim models 9000 add just one 2.0 port instead of having 2 ports or instead could've been a 1.1 port while a new one on the right being the new 2.0 port but no cuz fuck that we have a ps3 to worry about on optimizing😂
To add on all of that 1.1 is verrrry old technology specially considering the date of the slim and super slim releases worse then all of what i said somebody (an asshole that wont share his knowledge) made his ps2 port 2.0

Hello I have followed your video and I got a 300: cannot connect to SMB error on OPL. Any help?
Check out my notes on the GitHub in the issues section, I found a way to make it work again in 2022 with SMB and pi psx smb share. Or look into retronas, another good alternative.
Question: can you use xlink kai with SMB?
I don't see why not
Hey,i have ps2 slim..but all my cd are broken.can you teach me how to download ps2 game using phone
+ otg +pendrive or something else
Use google to find whatever games you want. Extract on phone as ISO. Use a OTG to pendrive and put the ISO into the "DVD" folder. I suggest you find a cheap computer this holiday season as it will make life so much easier than trying to do something on the phone.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia tq
Do you think you could help me with this? I was transferring my ps4 data to my ps5 and it stopped and deleted all my data and now i can’t transfer to my ps5 and I can use the cloud storage because it depeted
Sorry this is a good question for sony forums
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia I got it all back some how
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia you are all good 😂
is there any benefits over using the network adaptor?
As long as you got ethernet connection it's the same performance network adapter or something else
Hey! 👋 I followed your video on tp-link Ps2 SMB share and recently hooked it up but fmv’s stutter(more accurately the intro fmv) in DMC 3(Special Edition) in SMB have tried multiple usb HDD (500GB,1TB) but all of them give a bit freezing cutscenes in that game while the same game disc works flawlessly on my ps2
Ok thanks for update, I haven't tried all games over smb so can't comment FMV stuttering, that is really suprising but yea I can't explain that one
Ps2 has limited bandwidth over USB, that’s why FMVs stutter. It can’t transfer the data fast enough for real time playback
@@ThoseTesTis never mind I have a Pal 60GB BC PS3 now (now I just need a SATA 2TB Internal HDD Somewhere)
Is there a speed advantage to using a pi 4 over pi 3 in this application?
Not that I can tell, but I got the pi4 because I wanted to do n64 emulation and some other stuff on the side.
The PS2's ethernet port is only capable of 100Mbps, so you wont get a speed increase from the Pi 4
when I save the network setting in the ps2 loader it gives me an error and it won't save
I’m having the same problem. Any solutions?
Enable SSH on the raspberry pi. Figured it out. Shutdown pi and restart.
Installation hanging up at 'Launching Xlink Kai'
Raspberry Pi4 4fb running stock Raspberry Pi OS
I haven't done Xlink kai in awhile with pi 4b so maybe something was changed.
I followed exactly the tutorial, and it worked however after a few days I turned on my ps2 and it gave me '303 Cannot connect to SMB share'
I am not sure why it would do that if nothing has changed. Can you reinstall the pi psx smb share image?
The local ip change from time to time, so check your ip address on your pi
It’s either the usb drive needs to ntfs or you need to connect to the internet with Ethernet during initial setup for the pi server
Dunno which one but this solved it for me
Nice tutorial... thanks a lot!
After having multiple issues with not showing my games on my HDD i have managed to get it to work. I must have missed the *important* info that the folder strucure has to be on the root of my external HDD.;)
Loading games images now works fine, but when it comes to save my game to the defined .VMC file it takes several minutes to save some kb gamedata. It works but it is very slow. Loading savegames works fine. Anybody has an idea how to solve this? i have already tried diffent external drives, the behaviour is all the same.
I haven't messed with VMC before so I can't comment on that. I keep on saving to my trusty 8mb memory card and moves saves off of it if slow. I know its not the answer you are looking for, so not sure if VMC is still in its infancy or something else going on here.
will this method also work with popstarter?
Its a different method for pop starter, I have a general tutorial on PC with pop starter and ps1 with smb. If you get that working, then pi should work too
Will any issues be caused by having a different username to pi?
I doubt it, as long as the ps2 knows how to talk to the pi and see network files then should be good to go.
@@ProjectPhoenixMedia cool thank you!
I can still login desktop after right?
Depends on what you are doing, but yes you can if installed desktop version.
Could i do the smb share with an old Android box ?
I don't see why not if it can do it. Raspberry pi runs linux which is simlar to android OS anyway
can i use this on a regular install of raspbian?
Yes I don't see why not.
Scph 90004 pal free mcboot does it work 9000x what is x Why x is the last digit?
No it doesn't, look into freedvdboot
Will a pi 3 work?
Yes
por costos conviene usar un tp link 3020 mas barato q un raspberry pi 4

Awesome vid, this is what i needed but a have a little problem:
I can make my games work via pendrive (pendrive connected to the Raspberry) but i couldnt make it work via an external 1tb hard drive (full of Ps2 games) with this method.
I want to say that my hard drive works fine via ethernet connected to my pc but i cant make it work via Raspberry pi 4.
What am i doing wrong?
Edit: this is the error i get when i plug my external hard drive
303: Cannot open SMB share
Something is wrong with network settings. For kicks, follow the network guide here: github.com/toolboc/psx-pi-smbshare
If still can't get it working, make a ticket. Toolboc is great and can help you out (the developer)
Dear sir!! How to setup pops (ps1)??
Did you get the external Hard drive to work in the end ? - I'm thinking on swappin gout my USB pendrive for a large FAT32 formatted HDD connected to the Pi instead.
@@techkingonline hi man, i couldnt make it work but here is why:
I have a 1tb external hardrive. 200gb are full with Ps2 and Ps1 roms, 800gb with some other things. I couldnt make it work so i contact the dev. He told me that i may not work because the hard drive should only have the Opl folders and nothing else. Since i have no more space on my pc internal hard drive, in order to put those 800gb from the external hard drive into my internal hard drive and leave the external one with just the games, i couldnt test that solution. If you already own the formatted HDD, give it a try and please let me know if it works ;)
@@facufeg86 - Alright thanks for that! I have a couple spare 3.5" drives i found so will test them tomorrow when my enclosure arrives for it.
Hoping someone can help. I had this setup and was working on 128gb usb keys. I had mutliple so had to keep changing them to access different games. I have a raspberry pi 2 (it was free) only thing I changes was trying to add a 1tb seagate one touch storage (again got cheap) and I keep getting an error 303 even after a fresh format. Anyone...pls...
I can see the drive and access it on the pi and share is on.When I switch back to one of the 128gb usb it works fine.
Actually this is untrue, I just created a 2nd 128gb drive and didnt use it - got the 1tb and copied stuff over. That drive also gives me the same error.
Seems like something is wrong with the smb share, but if all the other sticks work fine but this one does not, is it formatted fat32 and shared properly when it is inserted? There is a newer distro called retronas, maybe give that a whirl, could fix your issues too.
Can you do this on a MAC OSX?
I don't know how it works on mac osx, but if you can run bootcamp or virtual machine, install windows and do what i did in the video. Or make a github ticket and maybe toolbac can advise on mac osx tutorial?
Will this work with raspberry pi 400?
I don't have that so can't comment.
Yes. Same operative system and same instructions works
yeah, nope ... i get a 300 error ...
See the GitHub for my recommendation on how to fix this, or as alternative give retronas a try
I can't find a tutorial on how to do it on a Mac but if the RP can do it so do Macs. The terminal code is nothing of note, the only problem, as far as I know, is that there isn't a Mac program to do this.
Make a comment on github if you mean how to do smbshare on Mac. I'm sure it can be done, but my knowledge of Mac is very limited.
This we can play using pendrive + opl....what is special in this video
Ps2 usb 1.1 is slow and lags the game. This isn't since we are using ethernet
