PlayStation 2 OPL can’t connect to Unraid SMB Share ??

[BigDanT]

Ok, no bear with me I’m trying something new here I’m hoping some else

has succeeded in getting to work.

 

I have an old PlayStation 2 and have for my hands on a network adapter for it and Free Mcboot (this has an app called OPL) that allows you to play PS2 iso games over a network.

 

a perfect use case for Unraid I thought.

 

now there’s some chatter on the net that it only works with SMB 1.0. There some chat it works with SMB 2/3.0.

 

has anyone else Here managed to get it to work. When I put all the details in it says it cannot log into smb share (which means it sees it, just can’t login).

 

any pointers much appreciated.

 

I’ve created a share and a user account to access it. All lowercase and no hyphens just to be on the safe side. Still can’t get OPL to log in.

 

Cheers All.

Just sorted this problem myself.

You have to enable netbios to get SMBv1 supported. Doing this requires you to take down the array.

Settings>SMB>Enable NetBIOS.

Hope that sorts it out for you as it did for me.

Hi,

 

Looks like Netbios is already turned on !

 

Heres a shot of my settings, does anything else stand out ?

 

Maybe the SAMBA extra config line ??

 

Any chance You could share your SMB settings so i can see if I've missed anything obvious.

 

Cheers

Have you tried initially creating it as a Public share to confirm if you have an authentication problem?

Hi,

 

Yes, here are my share settings (I've just tried forcing lower case).

 

I think it needs to be SMB 1 for the PS2 to connect.

 

Here are some settings I've found from another post here:- OPL SMB Configuration Guide

 

[global]

client min protocol = CORE

client max protocol = NT1

server max protocol = SMB3

server min protocol = LANMAN1

strict sync = no

keepalive = 0

 

Its a bit old though

@itimpi & @Jabok any help would be great guys ?

 

@Jabok - Did you have to enable SMB 1 at all in your setup ??
 

 

Cheers

No idea I am afraid if it is not now working.

Did anyone get this working with ps2 OPL?

[BigDanT]

Nope, I gave up.

 

I’m almost certain it’s got something to do with setting the minimum SMB version as I said above.

 

I didn’t have the bottle to play around with the settings though as if I broke

something my wife and kids would

throw a fit, so I left it.

 

Do let us know if you get this working though ???
