By using SMB over Ethernet, users could achieve speeds close to DVD reads, eliminating FMV lag. OPL also offered vastly superior game compatibility (over 90% of the PS2 library) and features like virtual memory cards, GSM upscaling, and cheats.

The USB eXtreme software worked by patching the PS2’s I/O routines, intercepting disc-read commands and redirecting them to the USB drive. However, because of the USB bottleneck, developers had to make a trade-off: usb extreme ps2
