Grimsdoomer OPL - Games freezing on start
I have attempted to mod my ps2 the last few days and put 13 hours in today attempting to troubleshoot with only a migraine to show for it. I have a SCPH-30001 PS2. I formated both the USB I used to load grims doomer latest OPL and formated the HDD to exfat and set up volume. Grimsdoomer OPL loads up fine, but after trying 40 games only 1 worked. All games were divided in the HDD as CD and DVD (the only 2 folders I put on the HDD - multiple folders created by OPL). When I load any game with the exception of one it freezes. I have tried multiple download sites to see if bad roms were the case without luck. BDM set to auto and HDD set to auto. I have a 4 TB WD Blue HDD. After spening more than 20 hours researching and troubleshooting I'm at a loss. If anyone us able to assist I'd greatly appreciate it. I'd be more than gladly to share additional information if needed. Thanks.
Edit: Not sure if it matters but I've tried using my wireless PS2 controller (only have this PS2 controller) and a wired PS1 controller)

I appreciate your reply! Can you advise on how I can check for fragmentation and image hashes? There's not an option in grimsdoomer opl. I've looked at several YouTube videos, but unsure if there's a program you would suggest to check both? Is HDD checkers something would work with this issue - given its grimsdoomer opl and a 4tb drive.

You download a tool to check for hashes and compare them to redump.
Same with fragmentation... PC Tools...

HDD Checker only works on 2TiB with APA, AFAIR.

Got it I will look around for a tool that can work with my 4 TB if it's available.

Hi, I had similar experience as you. The typical symptom was a freeze or the game wouldn't load at all. One example game is Metal Slug Anthology. I was able to get it to work using GrimDoomer's version 1.2.0.5-1991, with these game settings: Mode 1, 2 and 6 all set to On. The rest of the modes off. Also set DMA Mode to UDMA 0. Make sure you save your changes when you go back to the previous screen.
The same game with the exact same settings did not work on GrimDoomer's version 1.2.0.6-1996. So for now I'm sticking with the 1991 version.
