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:

  1. A PSX (DESR) unit, any model, that can power up and show the PSX splash screen.
  2. A spare memory card to dedicate to the PSX
  3. A PS2 console running FMCB to set up the memory card
  4. A small (less than 4GB?) USB stick formatted as FAT32

Preparing the memory card

  1. Download the latest FMCB Installer
  2. More coming soon
