PlayStation 2 HDD / SD toolkit for Windows — put PS2 games on an OPL SD card / USB drive or a real APA-formatted PS2 hard drive, from ISO files or straight out of a compressed mega-pack image. The app auto-detects what you plugged in and does the right thing.
- 💾 SD / USB (OPL, BDM) — copies ISO/ZSO into
DVD/&CD/, with duplicate detection and safe eject. - 🖴 PS2 hard drives (APA) — install/list/delete games via the GPL
hdl_dump, including per-game compatibility & DMA flags. - 📦 Mega-pack extraction — browse a compressed
.imgcAPA image, tick games, and pull them out as byte-perfect ISOs (one-time index scan, then it's quick). - 🎨 Cover art — auto-downloads OPL cover art per game serial; one-click "download missing covers" for games you added by hand.
- ⚡ Auto-fit — ticks as many games as fit your card's free space.
- 🛡 One-time admin setup — APA hard drives need raw disk access; enable it once (single UAC prompt), never again. SD cards/USB never need admin.
- ⟳ Built-in updater — checks this repo's releases and updates itself in one click.
Grab the latest PISO-Forge-*.zip from Releases, unzip anywhere, run PISO Forge.exe. Windows 10/11 x64.
Sibling project: XISO Forge — the same idea for Xbox / Xbox 360 FATX drives.
