PS2 i.Link support in OPL with BDM or PS2ESDL

I have converter from i.Link to USB, prepared games on pendrive, I have put it into converter and converter to my SCPH-30004R. But nothing is recognized. Games are seen in pendrive alone connected to USB.

Do I need to do something additionally to read games from it or it is just a matter of - in my case - device incompatibility?

I've used newest OPL beta (build 1695) and PS2ESDL v0.825 and v0.821, of course with matching to them extension0.plg which should brings i.Link (S400) support. Or maybe I can use ILINK.IRX from some games (but which have it)?

Latest builds you have to enable FW support, so make sure that's on so that the modules load.

Anyway it's more likely just device incompatibly, there was mention of likely supported iLink devices but I can't remember where.. from my memory I think it was something to do with having an Oxford chip :p and iLink drives without USB ports would have more chance of being compatible.. @uyjuilian probably has better info.

I'm not sure if the compatibility comes from the ILINK.IRX itself or iLinkMan.. the $ony module may not even be compatible idk but you'd have to swap out the drivers in the OPL makefile and recompile if you wanted to test that.
 
I've tried those builds:
  • OPNPS2LD-v1.1.0-Beta-1627-23ba651-bdm.ELF (black screen during boot)
  • OPNPS2LD-v1.1.0-Beta-1629-e20f2ee-bdm3.ELF (black screen during boot)
  • OPNPS2LD-v1.1.0-Beta-1635-1101a9d.ELF (no games displayed in USB category, refreshing doing nothing)
  • OPNPS2LD-v1.1.0-Beta-1695-e41fac7.ELF (no games displayed in BDM category, refreshing doing nothing, FW turned on in options)
And here this is probably incompatible device. I still have it so if someone want some debug reads on something with plugged in, I can provide such logs.

@HWNJ I didn't. Exactly the same pendrive is supported from USB, so I thinking it doesn't really matter. Well, I'll try.

But OPL behaviour like nothing is connected (of course with i.Link alone, no MX4SIO and no USB). Pressing refresh button, should at least load loading icon in bottom right corner, right? But it doesn't.

Also not. I have in plans to buy one for PSC but I lost interesting in this console, so I gave up also with such devices/cables to put it in other USB. :/
 
Hm... If I get such an adapter, I am going to try it with a powered USB Hub.

Off-topic: I want the newest Android on the PSC! :D
 
OT: Android wasting resources for it's userland but it is 64bit and have already a lot of great emulators written. But to be honest, I would rather want to see some great boot manager and custom apps works on bare metal. This pre-installed Linux distro sucks, just like every other emulators, wasting gigantic amount of internal storage space and using f*g databases for unknown to me reason. It is great disappointment but no one is interesting to really hack it. On top of that, front USB sucks even more. But the case is lovely, joypads are awesome and specification is powerful enough to handle every PSX game. Which makes me sad even more. ;p
