PES2008 PS2 version is the lost game / video thread

I've just started a Liga season with Villareal on WE 2008 (5-star difficulty).
So far 3 games and 4 points.
Defeat 0-1 vs Malaga
Victory 2-1 vs Getafe
Draw 0-0 vs Real Madrid
Villarreal are great to use in 2008. Did you stick with the default formation?

It's my favourite Spanish team.

Default tacic, yes.

And manage the line-up depending on players condition and arrows.

I use Roman as RM or LM.
Senna is always in my starting eleven, as well as Rossi.
I alternate between Tomasson and Nihat for the 2nd striker.

It's one of my favourite teams to use on 2008. I think the formation is great as it is too.
Senna is the rock of the team for sure.

Are you on real hardware or using some sort of a patch ? Which WE2008 are you playing ?

Thanks

No patch, vanilla game with my own OF (zero edition). See the link in my signature for the OF.

I play on PCSX2 with PS4 controller. I dumped my own World Soccer Winning Eleven 2008 PS2 ISO.
 
@geeeeee Just reloading your marvellous iso and option file but having trouble with the latter. Can you please remind me what format the option file needs to be if using Free McBoot on OG PS2?

Many thanks.

.psu on FreeMcBoot.

It has to be in a SAVE folder. The iso should be in a DVD folder.

Thanks. I'll give it another go.

Edit: I think that's the problem. I'm on mac and when I download the option file, it's not .psu format. Is there a convertor or can someone PM me the .psu format file?

Much appreciated.

Hi @reinelt97 sorry I have just seen your message. I will have a look tomorrow (actually today damn these world cup games are late 😅)

What file is it? Is it the 24-25 season?
 
Hi @geeeeee
Thanks for your help. I downloaded the SLES PSU file, copied it over my existing file on my PES 2008 save but still no luck. I could have sworn I did this before but I can't recall how.

Just to confirm, what are you playing on?

This is what I wrote down for myself in case I forgot :P

Did it! I think the problem was a cheeky "1" that had somehow attached itself to the end of the file name.

Thanks @geeeeee Fantastic work. And coincidently, nice to see your suped-up PES 2008 on the excellent Chorizo Machine Youtube channel. Shout out to Mike!
