PS2 Blaze Xploder2 V5 somehow usable with OPL?

[schlangz]

Hello today I went to the fleamarket and I picked up this Blaze Xploder V5 cheat thingy. Usually I wouldn't bother but it was really cheap. I'm using OPL 1.2 on my PS2 and load my games via ETH and I'm wondering if I can somehow use this crappy piece of nostalgia with OPL? Thank you

You can't swap discs after you mount the cheat disc it'll just go into a boot loop running the ELF from the SYSTEM.CNF unless you edit it to run something else or the cheat disc allows you to run ELFs from memory card or USB, some cheat codes where made for YaBasic, Action Replay etc that redirect the ELF loader to run from memory card instead.

what I found so far is that I need to adjust the image of the game to add the xploder into the imagge

Yes you need to go

OPL > Xploder > Game
"If you embed Xploder into every game image, but make sure you don't mess up the LBA of the original game files."

you can go
OPL > Xploder > OPL > Game
but it may have adverse affects on OPL itself or not be able hook the game properly with a Mastercode, a few games use multiple ELF files themselves like the startup screen, main menu/options seperate to actual main game ELF.

Sorry to write that, but it is garbage. Have value only in history meaning, plus it uses custom compressed format for save containers AFAIR.
