When i got my PS2 some time back was thinking how to use this to Play MP3/DivX etc files and convert it in to a Media Center, so i start to read and find out how to do this with a Slim SP2, then i found there is a player call SMS for PS2, but found that you need to have your PS2 MOD’ed  (MOD Chip) so you can boot CD-R, if not the PS2 will not allow you to boot from any backup CD’s

so lets see how you can turn your PS2 SLIM in to a Media Center,

For this you need,

1. Mod’ed PS2

2. CD Writer + One Black CD-R

3. USB HDD or a DVD/CD with MP3/DivX Files to test

4. You need to download the following FIles SMS (Simple Media System),  CDGENPS2 (Download Here) configuration (SYSTEM.cnf) Download

OK, now unzip everything (Use WinRAR) and start the cdgenPS2.exe

now rename the file “SMS VersionX.X.elf” to “SMS_KALINGA.ELF” , now drag and drop “SMS_KALINGA.ELF” and “SYSTEM.CNF” to the CDGENPS2 Window.

right clieck on the “SYSTEM.CNF” and click “Edit”

click the “Fix LBA” and set the value to “12231″ click “OK” to continue

Go to “File -> Save Image” and

set the “Save as type:” as “ISO Files (*.iso)” and give a file name, “Save”

if you dont like to do the above, you can simply  Download ISO file that i have made for this. now use your CD-Writing Software and write the ISO file to a CD, now put the CD in to your PS2 and Start the PS2.

if you have done every thing right, the SMS Player will start and give you the main screen, now from the Controller click “Start” it will take you to the Settings Window, from that, under “Device settings” set “Autostart USB” to On (Key “X” to on/off)

you can set Display Setting and other setting as you like and “Save settings” from the menu (if you dont have a  PS2 Memory Card save function will not work)

now connect your USB HDD to the PS2 USB Port or put your Data DVD/CD in to the ROM.

‍‍Here’s my PS2 SMS Player playing a Xvid 5.1 Surround Sound FIle.

you can get a PS2 IR Remote for a cheaper price and also use an Optical Cable to connect to your surround sound amp so you can play Dolby Digital and DTS Surround Sound. if you use a Component Cable to connect to your tv the PS2 SMS Player support  1080i and 720p HD TV.

Her’s my PS2 Slim Connected to a 2 USB Drives.

Both USB Drives detected.

that’s it for now, will show you how to “Playing Over a Network Shard Follder or from a NAS” using the PS2 SMS Player latter on :)
