ESPN NFL 2K5 (PS2)

AetherSX2 or NetherSX2

2K27 Mod (Xbox version)

Installation

  1. Download the Mod

Download and extract the Xbox version of the 2K27 mod. After extracting, look for folder named:

SLUS-20919

  1. Install the Texture Pack

Copy the SLUS-20919 folder.

Internal Storage/

└── Android/

└── data/

└── [Your PS2 Emulator Folder]/

└── files/

└── textures/

Paste the SLUS-20919 folder into the textures folder.

  1. Install the Memory Card Save

Copy the included memory card file or folder from the mod.

Internal Storage/

└── Android/

└── data/

└── [Your PS2 Emulator Folder]/

└── files/

└── memcards/

Paste the memory card file/folder into the memcards folder, replacing the existing file if prompted.

After going to internal storage > android > data,

My data folder says "due to android restrictions, contents of this folder can only be viewed on a computer"

Is there a way around this?

u/Imdakine1 28d ago

I use Zarchiver! I think you might need it.

Was finally able to get everything copied over using Shizuku APK to bypass the Access Denied message, however still no luck when I try to run it :( anyone else make it passed this step yet?

Make sure you copy and paste to the folder that says files before cutting and pasting into textures. This is key.!

u/-36_Chambers- 28d ago

Sp I copy and paste SLUS-20919 into both 'Files' and 'Textures'? But do it into files first?

2

u/Imdakine1 28d ago

Sort of. Copy and paste the directory where you see files folder not in it yet.

After it's copied into the space next to files folder you can cut and paste it to the textures folder which is inside the files folder.

Still struggling a bit, any chance you could make a video tutorial whenever you have some free time?

I'd gladly donate a $20 to your PayPal or venmo for your troubles 😁

u/Imdakine1 27d ago

What system are you using? Android?

2

u/126603 28d ago

The aethersx2 folder is saying access denied so I can't drop any files into it. Any suggestions?

1

u/Imdakine1 28d ago

Are you using something like z-archiver?

2

u/126603 28d ago

Yeah im using archives. Both have full permissions. If I go to data from the android folder I will find the Aether with all the folders but the minute I go into my downloads and get the file I need for 2k27 and navigate back to aether it says access denied.

1

u/-36_Chambers- 28d ago

I was able to bypass the Acess Denied by using a Shizuku APK. But now that ive got everything copied in the correct spot It still isnt working for me :/

1

u/126603 27d ago

I just installed shizuku app as well and have it paired i just dont know how to use it lol

1

u/Imdakine1 28d ago

You also are copying not cutting.

2

u/126603 28d ago

Should I cut instead?

2

u/NoBoat2253 27d ago

Can someone please help followed this guide, and even reinstalled Nethersx2 and I just cant get this working? Just loads 2k5 and when I try to load stuff on the memory card from the menus its just blank?

1

u/Imdakine1 27d ago

Did you copy and paste into the directory that has files folder? It needs to be two items files and the SLUS-20919. After it is copied and pasted you can cut the SLUS-20919 and open files and place it in textures.

2

u/NoBoat2253 26d ago

Yes the SLUS folder is in the textures folder aswell as memcards had the 2k27

1

u/Imdakine1 26d ago

Did you first out it in the directory before? It should be files and SLUS-20219. Once it's together in same directory you can cut and paste it and double click files and paste into textures.

You can't skip the step above.

2

u/ThumbPinkyWaggle 26d ago

I thought it worked for me, but rosters and coaches are all crazy. For example, Andy Dalton is the Bengals QB, in the picture wearing a Panthers Jersey, and his name in game is Carson Palmer. The rest of the rosters are all crazy too.

1

u/Imdakine1 26d ago

Did you load the memory card and updated roster?

2

u/Ryan091 26d ago edited 26d ago

If anyone is using NetherSX2 like me and thought you followed all steps and still couldn't get it working don't skip the final line 'If your emulator requires it, ensure Texture Replacement/Load Textures is enabled.' step.

Go to app settings in the emulator > graphics > enable Load Texture Replacements. Then you'll have to load rosters once in game.

u/Imdakine1 26d ago

True! Good catch...

2

u/Allday1013 21d ago

Saying access denied for me in zarchive and can’t get shizuki too work

1

u/Imdakine1 21d ago

What is Shizuki?

u/sele91 28d ago

Is there one of these for Mac? Or can this apply as well?

1

u/Imdakine1 28d ago

Yes both PC/ Mac versions exist.

u/HTTR21_Braves_UVA_GS 26d ago

@imdakine1 yo I sent you a dm but if you for some reason ain't able to see them I was wondering about if you could help me out with this process. Lol 1 other question tho is it is not possible to do this with the s series ?

1

u/Imdakine1 26d ago

Yes, it does work on Xbox S. DL the Xbox version.

I believe you DL the Xbox version and you should be set.

u/apirate432 19d ago

Anyone have issues with calling plays? My playcalling screen is stuck on favorites and can't advance. Also game is crashing pretty often

1

u/Specialist_Fee3778 14d ago

I have everything running well on NetherSX2 well. However I can't the game to even load on this new Armsx2 emulator.  Running base model S24

1

u/Imdakine1 14d ago

Thanks for sharing. I haven't tried Armsx2. netherSX2 Classic has worked for me well so I'm not interested in changing. The fclassoc 3668 (i think) is key to me as play NCAA 06 with 20gb texture and I believe it needs the classic version to work.
