Fun afternoon with the modded PS2. Knocked a few things out:
1. Got Cadillac and Dinosaurs BOR homebrew running off USB in OPL! Simple to do & runs well. Tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrlVF6mjk_Q2. Tinkered with GSM (Graphics Synthesizer Mode) a bit more. Tested a few PS2 games forced into 1080i HD. Man... they look great. ATV Offroad Fury 4 was a noticeable difference. On my list to compare the 720p versus 1080i looks. Keep in mind GSM is now built right into the options in OPL. You can force a majority of games into HD from the OPL game settings. I'll be trying this for any PS2 game I play moving forward.
3. Re-familiarized myself with POPS off HDD. Also forced some PS1 games into 480p over component. I really wanted to rip Metal Slug and Metal Slug X onto my POPS HDD, but a quick compatibility guide check saved me. They don't work. I took the time to re-watch some videos and tinker around with forcing 480p.
4. Snapped photos of OPL lists for all my PS2 games on my HDDs. Getting Organized. I honestly have lost track of what I have ripped and DLed, and what sits on my PC vs PS2 HDDs. Going to throw it all in Excel so I don't buy games (or double transfer over) I already have isos of running. Will probably post the game list if any1 is interested.
Overall... fun afternoon with ol modded PS2.
