I decided to upgrade my Phat PS2's HDD from my old 1tb and thought an SSD would be a good idea. I got a SANDISK Ultra 3D 2TB SATA SSD which I thought should be compatible just fine.

I used Raw Copy HDD to copy the 1tb old drive into the new 2tb drive, as well as add additional games. When I plugged it to my PS2 (via the maxdiypower adapter I got eons ago), it was working fine. I loaded up a game just to test it out on OPL and then exited back to the browser. When I booted up OPL for the second time, the harddrive was not recognized as I was getting the error 221 message.

Now a few details that might help:

  • I am using the newest OPL v.1
  • I tested the old 1tb HDD again to see if it's the issue of the SATA adapter, it isn't.
  • I inserted the new 2tb SSD to my computer to see if maybe something got corrupted and it cannot be recognized. But no, the computer is able to recognize the drive using PS2 HD Handiness 0.75 which is the only GUI software I can use since HDL Dump Helper GUI has been a pain in the butt.
So at this point I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Is the SSD not compatible even though it worked at the beginning? Is there a general SSD support issue I am not aware of? Do I need a better adapter?

Any help will be very appreciated.

Was your previous drive an ssd as well? I know that there is a jumper on the hdd that must be set to master, but I’m not sure if that’s a requirement of the original network adapter (which you don’t have, so may not be valid here) or ssd drives are smart enough to know their role.

As far as I know, this is only a concern for the old PATA/IDE drives, so no need to consider this with SATA drives (i.e. both HDDs and SSDs)

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
