So I managed to install FreeMCBoot, and get that all set up.

Only problem is none of my games work. I've patched the .ISOs, burnt at 2.4x, yet nothing works.

What should I do? Any help?

More infos might be needed to be able to get help.
What kind of disks are you using?
What does the PS2 do exactly when the disk is in?

I'm using 4.7GB DVD+R's, 1-16x speed.

When I put the disc in the PS2, sometimes it reads it and boots into ESR and detects 'PS2 Disc in Tray', but upon clicking 'Launch CDVD', it just hangs on a black screen.

Is it possible to just use an external hard drive to load ISOs? It's a model 77002 Slim.

ESR does not have a perfect compatibility if you get to the flicked colors then you have done everything right.
I suggest you try another game. You can load the said game another way i cannot get into explaining right now. these are smb or usb loading with OPL or swapping with cogswap.

I managed to get a fair few games working. Only problem is the cutscenes lag.

I burnt the same game on 3 speeds. 2.4x was worst, 4x was best, and 8x was better than 2.4x, but worse than 4x.

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

    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.
  • 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 :)
