i should add that if a game is made in japan, then it is to be found on the second list even if it had a release overseas. in that sense these lists are a bit cumbersome for those looking for english language releases of japanese games.

1TB is not enough, you need 2TB. That said please make sure you try the following:
Downhill Domination
SkyGunner
Sky Odyssey
Sub Rebellion
Dog's Life
These games all had many surprises and were a delight to play through and in many cases continue to return to. I also recommend:
18 Wheeler by Sega
King of Route 66 by Sega
Both Big Mutha Truckers games
Firefighter FD18
Neo Contra
Contra Shattered Soldier
The Red Star
Spy Hunter

i managed to fit 293 games on my 1tb drive. that plus virtual memory cards for each letter of alphabet and artwork filled my drive with only 128mb left. so 290-295 games will be your rough target, OP

OP here, I have read all the comments so far an I'm taking notes. There's a chance I might have to swap games in the future since 1TB isn't enough for a 6th gen console, but I'll save the suggestions regardless.

get the packs pack from here. i didn't use the art pack so i can't speak for its quality. use OPL manager to delete all the cfg and art files for games not on your drive since there's thousands upon thousands in the packs.
all the cfg files do is tell OPL what virtual memory card to use from the VMC pack, they are blank apart from that. all known games that have issues using a VMC are left blank too.

Evil Dead: Regeneration

I'm currently playing Digital Devils. I'm liking it. It's a standard JRPG in the Shin Megami Tensin style. It's not complicated but it's satisfying and it has a really good atmosphere to it, a really oppressive atmosphere like an early 90s R-rated anime, like Grey or Angel Cop. So far the plot has been intriguing.

Do games with disc swap features, like Dynasty Warriors Xtreme Legends, work with OPL?

Honestly you have basically enough space to have almost the entire library. It would be easier to say what not to put on there.

Just go through every list you can find, and make your own list. Every greatest PS2 games list, every hidden gems list, the /v/ recommended wiki, those "100 PS2 games in 10 minutes" videos, go through a romset and just pick all the games you've heard of or sound cool.

You've got more than enough space for that.

So I managed to not be retarded and installed the IDE to SATA adapter to my HDD adapter without breaking it and got OPL working. What are some other quality modifications to do for the PS2? I have heard that a fan mod is a must since the original fan isn't all that powerful.

>>10884918
>>10881689
I just downloaded Grimsdoomer's v1.2.0.3 Beta for my OPL and didn't experience any issues playing Persona 3 FES all the why up to the first battle where I stopped after saving. So why not use the drag and drop one, unless there is a major issue I am unaware of?

By the way, after fucking finally wraping all the game transfers up, I load up OPL, run Yakuza 2. Black screen, and now from now on the console hangs on a black screen when rebooting, with or without the SSD in. Did I really just lose my PS2 at the worst possible time?

>>10883072
>Honestly you have basically enough space to have almost the entire library.
Not even close, people seem to forget how fucking massive the PS2 library is and the average game is like 4gb. But 1TB is enough for a good chunk of the great ones.

>>10884630
In general I've tried to move away from HDDs as much as possible because the more moving parts it has, the more things on it can fail. By contrast if an SSD doesn't fail in the first year, it's not going to fail for a very long time.

There's this hidden gem called Okami. Heh, no need to thank me

I use the opl grimdoomer build the advantages is you can format hdd as ntfs and drag and drop iso without using a tool like hdldump. Make sure your hdd is at least 5400rpm or faster im using a 6tb 5400rpm hdd occasionally it skips like a scratched cd I think the official opl builds have this now though.
that's all I can think of for now

>>10889498
I should mention opl builds with ntfs popstarter the ps1 emulator won't work. Also exfat only allows up to 2tb ntfs allows up to 10tb I think

>>10886586
I set up my PS2 years ago before exfat and zso were a thing. Took the time to remove the dummy files from all the games that had it (like half the catalog) and tested every single game so I could make per game configs of the games that had issues by default. I'm kinda tempted to format the whole thing and start using exfat, but it's a long project that will take me months. I will switch one day though.

>>10884630

Another tip is to use two memory cards a freemcboot card in slot 2 a save memory card in slot 1. Some games soul callibur 3 jak x veiwful Joe 2 can wipe your entire memory Card.

This is what I have, not depicted is a huge collection of demo discs, and some of the Buzz! games that I only bring out on family gatherings, not games I play on my own.
Ignore the few demo discs that are in the list and it comes out to 1.02TB

I think this is the wrong approach OP. It's good to have an archive of games, but you should drag them out one at a time depending on what you actually want to play in that moment, and commit to just a couple of games until you finish them, then move onto the next. Otherwise you'll end up doing what a lot of people do and just fire up random games for a few minutes and never finish any of them.
