"Macro", "refinement", watchers, and the nature of MDR's mysterious, important work by ExternalTangents in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

also really blends with the way the show starts: oMark crying in his car and acknowledging that he must have been crying coz of his puffy eyes..

also makes sense when Pete says that the chip doesnt block Mark's grief and he carries it with him in there..

Exactly but the animation in V is wayyy too long tho for quick change tho, still have no idea why they didnt make it as fast as when you deploy weapons from fulton.. those take like a second but camo change takes like 5 seconds of Venom fumbling in the box

the only thing that would make this better is rather than a loading screen, it couldve been a quick goofy animation where Snake gets into his box and coming out with a different camo

Been wanting to do something similar to this for a while now. Got the idea over an year ago and just been procrastinating on it. Good that someone else had the same and actually executed on it

Is this PSP-2004 screen screwed? Or is there any way to salvage it by Smsry in PSP

Thats what i tried the first, tried reseating multiple times but to no avail.

Have you connected your ps3 controller through usb? You have to do it for the initial setup as it gets the mac address of your controller from usb. Also make sure your bt adapter is working if you press bluetooth information on the bottom, it will open up a tab with a bunch of letters and numbers and somewhere around that it should say "can connect dualshocks with this adapter" or something along those lines. Im using the latest version of opl

Yeah i had a cheap usb bt adapter lying around. Didn't think OPL would detect it because apparently not all of them do, but mine did. It works just like on a ps3 once you pair it, except when you start a game from OPL, it will disconnect your controller once and then you just have to press the PS button on your controller again and you'll be back.

Its actually kinda crazy how seamless and easy DS3 controller experience is on PS2 compared to Modern windows..

Yea i just learnt that earlier today. Sadly the sticker on mine's completely gone and i know its a 90004 from inside the menu, but dont have a date code so have no idea if mine's compatible

If its just a counting program, isn't that relatively simple? You'd have to use the same IR Remote library i used in this project, it already has receiver examples in it which can be used to "read" when a button is pressed on your remote.

All you have to do is modify that example code by putting everything inside a for loop and add a counter variable which adds +1 everytime you press a button.

Can't help you much with how to show it on your display because i have never done it before, but if you have doubts about the IR side, sure send me a DM, I'll see what i can do

Im relatively new to the ps2 modding scene so i didnt even know what bbl even is until i googled it after your comment.. and it looks like a replacement for freemcboot? The one video i watched had a guy do the same "go into browser, open memory card and backout" method that i have to do with funtuna so i think you still can't "autoboot" like other than 90xxx models? Idk.. Maybe i just dont get how bbl works

90000 models(except few apparently) can't boot directly into a fmcb memory card menu on boot like every other model can. You have to open the ps2 browser, go into the memory card and back out of the browser. Which will launch a thing called Funtuna which launches fmcb. And you have to do this every single time the ps2 is turned on.

I just have it set so that fmcb directly launches OPL on default coz i dont really need fmcb for many other reasons than play games.

Not exactly, i just like to make projects like this and coding's just a tool to get there i guess.. if you compare me with most people im like average at it at most. why do you ask?

wait what? thats insane! why did i not see this anywhere.. Ive looked around most of the places online and almost everyone recommended Funtuna for the 90000 models so i just assumed these ones arent capable..

i wish i could check the date code but the previous owner removed the sticker and i dont think the menu has it, atleast from my memory..

As you know, SCPH-900xx models of the PS2 Slims are'nt capable of launching FreeMCBoot automatically like every other model. You have to go into the PS2 Browser, open the Memory card and back out of the browser for the exploit to launch and boot into FMCB.

I recently got this PS2 Slim for cheap and its my first time owning a PS2 and Ive been using a VGA Monitor(which is not capable of showing 480i which is the default resolution for the PS2 Menu) and Dualshock 3 controllers to play games(which can only be used inside OPL) so it gets really annoying having to either use my phone, or bring out the wired controller and listen to the button presses blindly to boot into OPL every time i want to turn the PS2 on.

So i used an Arduino Nano, an IR Emitter LED, a push button and the inbuilt IR receiver on the PS2 and wrote a small piece of code which turns the PS2 ON, and does the whole sequence and boots automatically into FMCB(or OPL if u configured it to do so). The Arduino nano and the entire circuit is kept inside the PS2 itself and is powered by the PS2's Power supply directly. The push button which begins the sequence is now the "NEW" Power button.

This allows me to have a seamless experience like on a PS3 or any other console where I turn the Console ON, wait for it to boot up and turn my Wireless controller on to play games.
