Ifcaro released
Open PS2 Loader v0.5 for PS3, and now the homebrew application for PS3 has been updated to Open PS2 Loader v0.6 complete with source code!
For those unaware, this utility allows for loading PS2 iSO images on PlayStation 3 consoles with PS2 support... meaning it must be a non-Slim PlayStation 3 model with (4) USB ports.

ya. because of the increase of performance the games cannot be fragmented at all. try this program to defragment the individual game files. you should also keep all games unpatched.
Both wired & wireless loading via SMB work (share is on a Win XP machine).
Wireless performance is worse than USB (choppy intro's), wheras wired (Gigabit connection) performance is better than USB (not perfect yet).
The developers are overhauling the network code so I'm guessing better performance will be forthcoming.
Game compatability is definately improving. Some I've tested (all PAL);
Spy vs Spy = works
Gran Turismo 4 = works
Ready to Rumble Round 2 = works with Mode 6 enabled
Final Fantasy XII = works
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit = works
Time Splitters 2 = works
Smugglers Run 2 = works (didn't work with older versions like 0.3)
Cheers
there's no official release yet of version 0.7 which supports SMB. The source code is open source so anyone with the no-how can compile the elf. I don't have my ps2sdk set up properly to compile it. shouldn't be much longer for version 0.7 though ver 0.6 doesn't support SMB
