Dysk via iLink

[Szymon]

Witam, chciałbym podłączyć do FAT SCPH-39003 dysk albo pendrive przez gniazdo iLink (to małe)



Z tego, co czytałem na psx-scene, użytkownicy pisali że działa to w miarę szybko. Mam już program PS2ESDL (coś jak OPL) i plugin iLink. Czy taka przejściówka byłaby dobra do podłączenia pendrive?

Przez to nie podlaczysz. Nie ma takiej możliwości, te gniazdo służyło to bezpośredniego łączenia konsol że sobą. Obslugiwalo to kilka gier.

I have tested PS2EDSL 0.821 with its iLink plugin and my 2TB Seagate FreeAgent Xtreme USB/Firewire/eSATA hard drive. Apart from no PS2 programs supporting >1TB partitions, this seems to work fine over Firewire. But while PS2ESDL can load the game list over USB, all the games I tested over USB hung at a black screen; see below. (The games load fine over USB with Open PS2 Loader.)

Performance via Firewire is significantly better than USB. Strangely, when I try loading games over USB now (with iLink cable disconnected), it seems most/all just hang with a black screen. Does that happen for anyone else with the games listed below? Maybe the iLink plugin loading breaks the USB-loading code somehow???

I've only tested a few games so far (on a SCPH-39003 console), but here's a summary:
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance. This game usually has a lot of "stuttering" when you rotate the view or move through the world. There is still some stuttering running over iLink, but much less than with OPL/USB.
Midway Arcade Treasures 3. Over iLink: seems to work fine, however the game complains about a corrupt memory card when trying to save. Over USB: hang at black screen.
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. Over iLink: seems to work fine. "Making of" video is almost stutter-free unlike when using OPL/USB. Hang at black screen with PS2ESDL/USB.
Stolen. This one's interesting! It seems to work fine with PS2ESDL over iLink. Over USB however, it doesn't work with either Open PS2 Loader or PS2ESDL. In summary, Stolen compatibility looks like this:
PS2ESDL iLink: Works fine
PS2ESDL USB: Hangs at black screen.
OPL USB: Hangs at HIP Games logo animation (sound keeps looping)
OPL SMB/network: Works fine
Vexx. Works fine, title screen FMV and trailer videos smooth. Once the console hung when I selected a trailer to play, but I couldn't repeat the issue. The game shows a message about no memory card detected initially, which doesn't appear loading with OPL/USB. The game can load and save games okay, it's just the initial message which is wrong. I'm using a non-Sony 64MB card.


After using PS2ESDL/iLink a little, I have some suggestions:
The ability to choose which connection to use (USB or iLink) would be very useful. And maybe let the user choose the initial/default choice if both USB and iLink are connected. I'm not sure whether my drive works with both USB and iLink cables connected, but I think it might. With both cables connected, I ran PS2ESDL. It loaded the game list via USB (I think). I then unplugged the USB cable and PS2ESDL automatically loaded the game list via iLink. At the moment PS2ESDL always uses USB if there is a drive connected to USB, right?
In-game reset is sorely needed. My drive spins down when the iLink connection is reset (which happens when you press the console reset button). So in between every game, resetting and running PS2ESDL again causes the drive to spin down then spin up again ⟹ unnecessary wear-and-tear on the drive.
Some kind of benchmark feature would be good. Not just for showing the difference between USB and iLink transfer rates, but perhaps to differentiate between better and worse-performing USB drives/card readers etc. You could have two transfer rate tests, one reading 2048 bytes at a time, the other a larger amount, say 32KB. (For example, a particular card reader/memory card combination might have higher latency than others, so a benchmark could show that using that with OPL or PS2ESDL wouldn't be a good idea.)

Wkleiłeś, żeby to ktoś przetłumaczył?

No to jak jesteś takim ekspertem, to po pytasz na forum?

Bo pytałem jeszcze czy ten kabel będzie pasował. A jak napisałeś, że się nie da, to wkleiłem cytat z innej strony żeby rozwiać twoje wątpliwości.

Skoro nic nie wiesz na ten temat to po co się udzielasz? Kolejny nabijacz postów ;/

Wracając do tematu, ta przejściówka z firewire na usb powinna być ok, tylko do tego będziesz jeszcze potrzebował przejściówki z usb męskiego na żeński, bo inaczej pendriva nie podłączysz. Na allegro takich przejściówek nie widziałem, ale można taką zrobić samemu lub użyć huba usb o ile będzie działał.
