Using a broken PSX as a PS2
Is the HDD in your PSX dead and it only starts up to a black screen? Well good news everyone! You can still use it as a PS2 with only a little bit of effort!
The process below will allow a partially-broken PSX to boot from a memory card in PS2 mode which will work with Open-PS2-Loader (OPL) to load games from DVD, USB, and MX4SIO.
Prerequisites:
- A PSX (DESR) unit, any model, that can power up and show the PSX splash screen.
- A spare memory card to dedicate to the PSX
- A PS2 console running FMCB to set up the memory card
- A small (less than 4GB?) USB stick formatted as FAT32
Preparing the memory card
- Download the latest FMCB Installer
- Extract the latest 7z file to a FAT32 formatted USB drive (must be MBR partition, not GPT)
- Plug the USB drive into to your PS2 console and turn it on
- Once started open uLaunchELF from the main menu
