PS2, HDD, OPL, games lagging really bad :(

I don't know what to do anymore. First time with PS2.

using WD 2.5 700gb sata hdd, gamestar network adapter.

Bully is just an example, other games have problems too. Some have severe lag just like this game, some less, but still have stutters. And this strange thing - when I'm pause the games, browse menu for some time and unpase - game frozes and giving "connect the controller" message. After a few seconds it unfrozes.

I tried different modes for games, lowering dma, some other things - nothing helps.

I tried two methods - using WinHIIP and using exFAT file system.

What is that? Help me, please:(

Is that a bad hard drive? Bad adapter? Bad console? Don't know what to do :(

FMCB shortcuts dont launch first try

What happens is that, on my first boot, ALL hacked FMCB "apps" (LaunchELF, OPL, FMCBConfigurator, etc) will not launch first try, and will always launch on the second boot (reset)

MMCE (PSxMemCard Gen2) and PS2rd

Just bough PSxMemCard Gen2 and it's so great thing to have, just noticed when I use PS2rd with PNACH widescreen cheats for DVD games the Game ID function doesn't work, it won't detect the game and won't change memory channel nor create game specific. I play mostly my original DVD, only some titles I backup to ISO to internal disc and run through OPL with its raw widescreen cheats, there it works. Probably can't be fixed in firmware? Probably how PS2rd works/blocks game ID?

freezing games.

Hey gamers, recently got the Kaico SD2psx memory card and was able to get games and cover art on it. Testing out some of the games I put on it and a lot seem to work flawlessly afaik but I'm having issues with some games, specifically both Lego Star Wars games and Guitar Hero III.

For 'Lego SW: the game' when I try to boot it up the screen goes black like it will start and the mem card shows its loaded up but that's as far as it goes. The mem card even freezes and I have to take it out to reset it and it continues working like normal but it happens every time I try to load it up. Sort of the same thing with The originally trilogy, screen goes black, show a picture of Lego Darth Vader, goes black again, and then freezes like the first game. I got them both from Vimms and I tried both 1.0 and 2.0 versions of the first game with the same freezing on both.

For Guitar hero III, it boots to the Guitar hero loading bar and once the loading bar is complete it stays there and doesn't continue to the game.

I'm putting everything on a sandisk 128GB Extreme microSD if that info is relevant at all.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
