Saving OPL games to physical MC on slot 2?

Hello! I i have two physical mc's, one with OPL, which i want to remain untouched, and one completely free. I want to save my OPL games on physical memory card on slot 2 but very few games have the ability to select wich memory card you want to save your game at. Most of the time i use VMC's to save my games on my HDD unit, however there are games that will not boot if VMC is activated like RE4 and Code Veronica, is there anything i can do? And if possible is there a guide i can follow?

PS2 loses output with specific DVD

I regularly watch DVDs on my PS2 (fat one) but when I am trying to watch Bedtime Stories it starts the PS2 like normal then my screen goes to the no signal screen of the HDMI output. The disc is in great condition. I have an output converter in order for it to be used with my TV’s HDMI port. Everything else functions normally, other DVDs, PS2 games. Anyone else have this problem? How do I get this disc to work?

Loose PS2 find

I recently bought a CD case almost full of PS2 games. Would you go through the trouble of finding cases/printing label for them or just leave them in the CD case?

Installing MechaPwn via FreeDVDBoot

I was able to get another PS2 Slim, it doesn't have any modifications and everything works fine, but I want to install Mechapwn to play copy games since FMCB is not compatible with my SCPH-90010 model (The DVD Player version is 3.11M just in case).

My question is, is it safe to install Mechapwn with FreeDVDBoot, and if not, what other alternative can I take to play copy games either via USB or burned discs?

I’m sad, I just need to put this here

Memory cards! For the life of me I looked everywhere I could think of. In my drawers, ottoman, laundry basket, bedside table, even in the extension bay at the back of the ps2 just incase they might be there. I cannot find them anywhere!! Almost 15 years of gaming… memories, completions, customisations and fun! Just gone. Gone because they simply have disappeared. For context I always keep my memory cards in 1 of 2 places. They’re either right next to the ps2 which is by my tv, or they’re on my desk catch all which has my remotes and things of that nature on. And they are in neither place. So naturally I check in every gaming related place that I have that they could be in. And they just aren’t. I fear that they may be in the bin or they have been given into a charity store by mistake. Wherever they are, I hope they are loved and my gaming memories live on.

Sound, black screen

It has audio like normal, but the video is just a black screen. I have tried to do the no video signal fix but that made it so there is no imput to the tv, is it because i dont have an official ps2 power supply?

Re: Found a copy of Silent Hill 2 at my local pawn shop! Can't wait to walk back home and play

Original post here.

I don't know if this is coincidence or not... I did a Google lens search and didn't find OP's image anywhere. Maybe he made this photo himself, or maybe it's a tree or something else. I don't know - you decide.

Has anybody here played both XGRA: Extreme G-Racing Association and R: Racing Revolution?

I only ask because I recently played the game XGRA, and thought it was kind of bad, the music was good. I'm now looking at playing R: Racing Revolution, but metacritic has that game at 66/100, and if the game isn't better than XGRA, then I wont bother, since I didn't like it. I know these games have nothing to do with each other, but that's where I'm at atm.
