The slow downloadspeeds got on my nerves so I wanted to find some ps2 torrents and found this reddit post.

2,64TB with more than 2.000 Games. Still very good upload speed.

Why not use myrient? It seems to have every ps2 game individually and is also easy to mass download from (at least with a download manager) and the speeds are great in my experience.

Bandwidth: €4200/$4358 per month

What could possibly go wrong

[–] UndergroundGoblin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

On myrient I only get about 500kbs.

Great speeds? Using Jdownloader2 if I go above 3.8MB/s with more than 2 connections I get throttled to worse than dial up speeds.

Occasionally it'll hit a single game that'll take days to finish for no apparent reason no matter what. It's maddening.

Still better than archive.org's broken fucking torrents that'll never ever reach 100% completion. You'd think an archival site would care to fix that after YEARS for FUCKS SAKE, but nope!

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

In the case of archive.org, why not just download directly from the website? I've never seen a need to use their torrents.

I know, I'd just rather torrent it's faster than DDL from them and makes a big difference with multi terabyte romsets.

It's extremely lame they can't be bothered to fix whatever is wrong. They also don't warn people the feature doesn't actually... work. Why is it even an option on the page???

Nothing special about it. It's just an aggregate/repack of the smaller torrents that broke them out by letter groupings. They're the same exact files otherwise.

Any idea what the file format is? I hope it's CHDs.

So I downloaded 5 files and they are all .iso .

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks to your comment, I found out that PCSX2 uses CHDs. I thought that was a format that only MAME used.

[–] bigfoot@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Yes they have for a while! Much nicer.

[–] Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If I had the space I would jump on this. Been meaning to play all the ps1/2 titles I've missed over the years

[–] UndergroundGoblin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You could search the meta for games your interested in and just download them.

[–] Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lol that's a very good point. I don't know why that didn't occur to me, thank you!

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

FWIW: I highly recommend The Neverhood and a its encore, Skullmonkeys by Doug TenNapel. 🤘🏼🤓 (Both also available for PC, btw.)

[–] Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'll have to take a look! Thank you!

Thanks! I just was planning to install my chip mod modbo v5.0.

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Click "visit random instance" a couple of times until you hit an instance that works

In case you need the Original Link to Reddit.

Nowadays a modchip does not worth It. Look for fmcb method.
