PS2 Hello WorldHere's something interesting: PSOne, after being around for so long, just got its own PSP emulation program - and it's far from being 100% playable. How about PSP homebrew games emulated on a PS2? Now, that got your attention.

Even though the PS3 just got out, we're pretty sure nobody would be throwing away their current-gen consoles. And with the number of actual units that are available for now, we know that not everyone was able to get one. You can't see for yourself how the much talked about PSP-PS3 connection works, why not play around with a PSP-PS2 tie-up?

This program is called LuaPlayer PS2 and was coded by PS2DEV's Evilo. As the name implies, "the player is almost compatible will all available Lua games." The file can be loaded to the PS2 via USB connection. Also, as far as we understand, the file also allows for lua games creation in the PS2 itself.

This is a great development for the dying PS2 homebrew scene. It also gives our Lua coders around the opportunity to make Lua games compatible with PS2. At any rate, we're including the file for download below as well as a link to a game compatible with it. Kindly gives all of us a feedback on what you think about the program.

not many of you have any experience whatsoever in ps2 modding. buy swapmagic, create a SWAPMAGIC folder in the root of your psp, put the elf file in it and name it SWAPMAGIC.ELF. then, load the swapmagic disc on your ps2, and play on.

 » what a great idea

that would be awesome to be able to load psp homebrew on the ps2. I hope they continue this project very far. And u don't have to have a swap magic to load this, u can use the memory stick exploit (like me) google it.

can i run this on a ps2 emulator on my computer?


   Re: NO (Unregistered) - 2006-11-27
 » For what/?

why not just find the port of the games for a PC

it does not make sense to emulate a ps2 on a pc to have it "emulate/load" some homebrew

Where do I obtain this swapmagic disk. Shouldnt this be in playstation2 news not psp I mean it is about the ps2. I didnt know there was even homebrew but I forgot you could use jumpdrives and your psp as memory. i was thinking you could on use the memory card lol sorry i forgot you could use other memory devices. Seriously though go into more detail.

 » Was the typer of this article drunk?

First it says PSOne, but then it continues to talk about PS2. Also, this is nothing near PSP emulation on the PS2. This is a LUA Player for the PS2. There is a LUA Player for PC also. No big deal

   by wtf (Unregistered) - 2006-11-27
 » still

Dunno how to do is so ***** you qj posting retard news that we cant use it.

Is there a way to do homebrew on a classic PS2? I dont have the slimline one


   Re: yes (Unregistered) - 2006-11-28
 » yes

it is actually easier to get homebrew on your classic ps2 than slimline...

just look for this: PS2 independance exploit
   by Simple! (Unregistered) - 2006-11-28
 » There are countless ways...

1. Buy a Mod Chip for your PS2.
2. Buy the Swap Magic Disks with either the Fliptop or the Slide Tools or make your own Slide Tools.
3. MemCard Exploit (use google or www.ps3news.com)
4. Enjoy and Use your brain.............................
5. Homebrew for the ps2 is not something new....


   Re: uh (Unregistered) - 2006-11-28
 » yeah but...

all of those involve buying something (mod chip, swap disc, memcard reader)... is there any way to get homebrew on a ps2 without actually buying anything extra?

   Re: xche78x - 2006-11-30
 » reply to yeah but..

the ps2 memory card exploit can be done without buying anything just existing ps1 game and an action replay (or a friend who's ps2 is chipped, or a friend who can lend you an action replay.
then follow the steps at exploitation dot com
