wheee, i have freemcboot installed so i can now run homebrew (and, yknow, whatever else, wink wonk) on my ps2

next project is to try to get networked storage set up and connect my ps2 to the internets so i can load my games from The Clound. i'll just need... some way to ethernet <- wifi, and a computer that can actually do the storage

quick update before bed, if anyone cares: i tried out the ps2 network share thing using my laptop (the only device within range of my ps2 that has an ethernet port), and... it worked! i was able to load ace combat zero onto my ps2 from my laptop, which was wild to see

not a permanent solution because i dont like having my laptop tethered like that, but it was good for learning how to even get it set up in the first place

@typhlosion iirc there is a way to slap together a raspberry pi to do the same thing with minimal fuss, i forget what it is but it's a generalized solution that not only works for PS2 but other things too

@EeveeEuphoria yeah im gonna use a Le Potato board for this and a couple other purposes
