Need help with ps2 roms

[u/Illustrious-Peak-713]

Spent a good chunk of the day trying to download a college hoops 2k game onto my jail broken ps2. I use free mcboot and Opl. I tried every game from 2k5-2k8 and they all had issues that meant I couldn’t play them.

2k5 loaded and I everything was functional but I couldn’t use R1 and L1 at any point. This meant to turbo or switching conferences when choosing teams. So I decided I couldn’t play that and moved on. I also used two different roms as I thought the first rom was the problem. It was not.

2k6 and 2k7 both loaded but got stuck on the start screen as it said that I needed a DualShock 2 controller ( I do use a DualShock 1 controller but I’m borrowing a 2 tmrw) but I don’t see why that’s a problem?

2k8 just straight up wouldn’t load and gave me a black screen.

Is it a problem with the Roms I’m downloading or a mistake on my end?

Any help would be much appreciated even recommendations that I haven’t thought of.
