I'm literally now playing ps2 games on my modbo chip ps2 slim.

    I played through Black for the first time this year on my old Fat with a sata hdd. How great was that game? It felt a generation ahead of its time, especially using the higher res display mode and the component video.

    If you don't already have a good controller solution, I highly recommend the Brook Wingman. I'm using mine with a Dual Shock 3 for the analog buttons (gotta have them for Ace Combat), but it supports so many controllers.

    I bought the ps2 slim second hand. Then I personally did the modchip myself. Learning some more advanced soldering skills in the process. Now I'm able to play any game I want. But since it's slim version I can't use a hdd.

    However, I can use samba share. Or usb (but could be slower, and bigger files needs to be split due to fat32 file size limitations). So I setup my samba share on my Linux server. And use OPL to load the games from my samba share on my ps2 using ethernet. It's awesome.

    Furthermore, I use a open source tool called OPL-Pc-Tools to manage my collection of games on my smb share. This tool also works great under Linux.

    I'm trying to force 1080p output in OPL without success yet, but apart from that it's all working now. Took me 1 week from soldering to Samba games ahah. As a bonus I now also have an advance JBC soldering station with multiple tips.

    Now that you mention it, I've had mixed results forcing resolutions through OPL. But the factory ones you do with button combos always work great.

    Ow actually I just got it working now. With my modbo v5.0. Using ps2 to hdmi adapter. I'm able to set the video mode to HDTV 1920x1080 60hz. So much better now.

    I stopped using my hdmi adapter because it wasn't looking as good as the component video. You got the 1920 to work? What version of OPL do you have? I might have to try it again!

    Latest stable release, which is currently version 1.1.0. While I do have 1920x1080 60hz working. Just keep in mind that not every game has 1080, however even then when you are forcing 1080 you might get less blurry results.
