Hello world from Brazil

dude, thank you for all the info, I had no idea. So the sata adapter is the best way to go if playing games from a drive, right?

Correct.

The usb ports in the front of the console would not be able to run games from a flash drive, for example?

You can, but it's the worst way to load ps2 games, mainly because of the dreadful usb 1.1 speeds you'll have stutters in fmvs, longer loading times, game compatibility issues to name a few..
There are two other methods i haven't mentioned, but they're still inferior to internal hdd imo. There's SMB via ethernet, you basically stream games from your pc, or s raspberry pie even. 2nd is MX4SIO, which is a ps2 memory card modified in a way so you can plug in either an sd or micro sd card to load your games. Mx4sio is better than the usb method, as there's no stutters on fmvs and even loading times are better. game compatibility is still an on going process tho, since this method is still new, you'll def run into issues with games etc and it does require some tinkering, constantly trying/testing other OPL versions etc. so i wouldn't recommend it for beginners, and that's why the internal hdd/sata method ks the best

Hi there, I am from Brazil and just got accidently into a forum post and decided to subscribe.

I got sick of social media and modern internet and has been looking for old school forums to have real interactions over common interests, without anything about your profile, pictures, followers, etc no importance in the discussion at all.

So I found it here, which seems to be a nice and active community.

I was X360 player for years but as I got older, work and stuff, I stopped playing video games.
Now I got older consoles (PS1, PS2 and N64) and am interested in playing some classics I missed, running mods or simple hacking into and playing with these things.

Besides that I'm into homelabbing, music, movies etc.

Thank you and nice to meet you all.

It's good to see that it's other Brazilians in this forum. Make me sweat a little from my eyes.

Wow, nice! I am using an old low-end laptop and trying to work with the low resources.
Maybe we should start a thread to discuss homelabbing and exchange infos!
