PS2 How to get POPStarter via SMB to work?

[RandomGuy2024]

Whenever I run the renamed POPStarter.ELF from the game I want to play on wLE, it says: "Connecting to smb... LOGON has failed (0).".

Also, do PS1 games lag (especially on FMVs) if ran via USB?

I don't want to run POPStarter from OPL and the OPL fork I use doesn't have the "PS1" tab, anyway.

It only affects PS2 games so PSX has no problem.

I've been told it also affects some PS1 games.

Tell me, have you had problems with any? Have they mentioned any game in particular to you?
In my case never, that's why I ask you.

No, just asking because SMB isn't working. I was told Xenogears lagged.

Of course we are talking about games that are compatible with Popstarter and Xenogears is not compatible.

OK, but I didn't know. Does that talk about lag?

Let's put it like this:

All POPSTARTER compatible games do not have cutscene lag issues.

Or at least I've never come across one that has it.

When you have questions about how a game works, check the compatibility list.

I even recommend consulting it before emulating it.

I thought lagging and incompatible games were different things, I mean, a game might work but have lag. Also, is there a reason for the information not being in english and for POPStarter not being updated for so long? Do "incompatible games" actually work if using patches?

We're still talking about cinematics, right?

The other thing, some "slowdowns" during the game are corrected with patches to what is considered a compatible game.

As for the updates, it is a long story that is not for me to tell, if you are curious ask in this thread.

I was talking about lag in general, but mostly in FMVs.

The problem of slowdown during the game is more of an emulation issue that, as I said, is corrected with certain patches.
The cinematics do not have any lag problem.

Are there gamea which have issues even after being patched or that don't even patches?

You can check it in the compatibility list.

 

[RandomGuy2024]

You can check it in the compatibility list.

No every game appears there.

 

[gamerman 5000]

No every game appears there.

Those that do not appear, you have to try them for yourself and, if necessary, make requests to the user @hugopocked for a specific patch.

And how to get POPStarter via SMB to work?

I have not done it because I do not consider it necessary since USB works well for me.
Maybe someone else could help you.
