The dataset contains full time series of satellite and radar images,
weather models and ground observations.
To keep the dataset at a reasonable size, the data covers two geographic
areas of 550km x 550km on the Mediterranean and Brittany coasts, and spans
over 3 years, 2016 to 2018.
We have prepared this free dataset to let the data science community play with it.

Run USBUtil v2.00.exe as an administrator. Create Game: Select File > Create game from ISO . Source: Select your huge_game.iso .
: Automatically adds the necessary game ID to the filename for OPL recognition. Art & Config : Downloads game covers and generates configuration files.
: Search trustworthy homebrew repositories or GitHub for the latest "ISO 2 OPL" or "PS2 USBUtil Android APK."
Android phones have limited storage compared to PC hard drives. Converting your reconstructed ISO to saves space without losing quality. Download chdman or a frontend like ChdMan GUI . Convert your .iso file to .chd . Step 3: Transfer to Android Connect your Android device to your computer via USB. usbutil ps2 android
: Ensure your PS2 is running OPL v1.2.0 Beta or newer, as these versions support exFAT natively. Option 2: The USBUtil Way (FAT32 - Older Systems)
For the purpose of this guide, we will use (which incorporates the usbutil driver stack) because it works system-wide, not just inside one emulator.
If you need help troubleshooting a specific error code, want links to native Android file splitting tools, or need help setting up settings for better compatibility, let me know how you would like to proceed! Share public link Run USBUtil v2
By embracing these modern Android tools, you can breathe new life into your PS2 gaming setup and take full control of your USB drive—all from the convenience of your smartphone or tablet. Enjoy your games!
If you want to use the exact classic USBUtil v2.0 or v2.2 interface, you can emulate it using an Android Windows compatibility layer like Wine or ExaGear.
Some games require "Modes" to be enabled in OPL. Highlight the game, press Triangle, and try enabling Mode 1 or Mode 3 . : Automatically adds the necessary game ID to
Ensure your USB is definitely FAT32 and not ExFAT or NTFS.
For decades, the standard method for configuring an external flash drive or hard drive with classic PS2 backups involved sitting in front of a Windows desktop. However, the portability of modern Android devices combined with OTG (On-The-Go) storage adapters has transformed smartphones into fully self-contained PS2 game management hubs.
: Select your target directory (either your local storage or a connected USB drive).
Some users utilize Android devices merely as hosts for USB drives intended for actual PS2 consoles, or use specific front-ends that mimic the OPL file structure. In this niche scenario, USBUtil is still required to prepare the drive.
The emulator should detect the game, even if it is split into ul.xxxx files, provided they are in the correct directory structure. Why Use USBUtil on Android Instead of ISO/CHD? ISO/CHD Formats USBUtil Method >4GB Games Requires NTFS/exFAT formatting Works natively on FAT32 Speed Fast loading Slower loading (due to file splitting) Storage Usage Direct, single file Multiple files, more organization Best For Internal Storage / exFAT SD FAT32 SD cards / USB OTG Alternative Solutions for Large Games on Android
