I’ve got a softmodded PS2 with free mcboot and the mechacon chip thinks it’s a dev unit. Its got a 1TB hard drive full of PS2 games and a binder full of burnt PS1 discs

That’s so awesome! How’s the performance as far playing games from the drive? Any drawbacks? Better than disc?
From the hard drive it actually loads faster even on a physical hard drive. On an SSD it is even better and completely silent, however I have had little problem with noise from the HDD. As for the disc thing it is better for PS2 games as it doesn’t wear out the laser. For PS1 I use cds so it boots into the PS1 CPU because I think OPL uses POPstarter to emulate PS1. As is the fat PS2s use the PS1 CPU for I/O so the only part it emulates is the graphics chip.
