PS2 How to copy files to hdd0:\+OPL ?? Cannot get access to this folder

[Newcomer]

Have you tried making your partition bigger?

ofcourse ( __comnon partition is nearly 1 gb)

Maybe it has to do with the HDD. I had a somewhat similar problem: https://www.psx-place.com/threads/wlaunchelf-release-thread.13727/page-11#post-266778

In my case it isn't so bad, since it happens only when copying many saves into a mounted VMC (so no problems when normally saving using OPL).
These are particular and rare bugs. Most probably related to the HDD I think.

Check here if perhaps you find something about your specific HDD: PS2 Hard Drive Compatibility Chart (x-pec.com)

I meant your OPL partition.

I meant your OPL partition.

and it doesn't matter - can't copy anywhere

If you're not prepared to listen to the community, then why ask a question in the first place?

The problems I've had personally with OPL is the partition was too small and wouldn't let me copy files to it. After a few hours of trying to figure it out, that's what I found.

You've tried MULTIPLE versions of programs without altering your partition size, and nothing is working, the process of elimination then tells me that your partition is too small and needs to be increased.

What's it going to hurt to try it? Scared that you're going to end up looking foolish for not listening?

Try making your +OPL partition like 5GB.

@P10God Have you perhaps a 2TB HDD with cover arts for all games?

I'm asking because I was thinking to add covert arts on my 2TB HDD installed games. I wasn't interested in these "side dishes" at the time and made a 128MB only +OPL partition, leaving all the possible space for the games. But now that all games are on HDD I have a lot of unused space left '^^

Now I have to remove the first couple games I installed (in order to make the +OPL partition at the beginning). In your experience a 4GB +OPL partition is enough for a 2TB HDD (even if it is full of games)?

 

[P10God]

I don't.

I'm OG and use a 320GB IDE HDD for my PS2 (DTL-H30102).
I have PS1 games on there and a few of my favorite PS2 games, Linux, and PSBBN.

Space isn't really an issue for me as any other game I want to play is done through SMB.

I see, thank you anyway.

I guess your 1,5GB cover art folder is a prepackaged package, and you don't know how many games it covers.
Anyway I think 4GB should be enough even for a full 2TB HDD (about 800 games, but most probably I'll never get even close to that).

My cover art package is what I downloaded off the internet and then I copied it onto my HDD. It covers every game (not that I need that many, but it would take far too long to remove the ones I don't need).
