PS2 Issues with ps1 games in opl (SMB)

Hey! Okay so Im having some issues getting ps1 games to show up in opl. Im using a GL-AR300M mini router to host the games with a 128 GB usb as the storgage I have tried with the usb formatted in exFAT and FAT32 and nothing... however the ps2 games do show up and play just fine.

I have the popstarter folder on the route of my fmcb card, the POPSTARTER.ELF and POPS_IOX.PAK in the root of the usb as well as ps1 games formated as .VCDs but nothing...

Anyone got any ideas what the problem might be?

You have to copy or rename the POPSTARTER.ELF to ones that matches with your VCD names (Don't forget to add the SB. prefix before it) then create the conf_apps.cfg in the root of your shared folders that contains the name of the game and path to your copied/renamed ELFs, like this:

Code: 
(GAME NAME)=smb0:/path of your ELF

ex:

Crash Bandicoot=smb0:/SB.Crash Bandicoot.ELF

You also need the network modules (available in that link) and put it on one of your memory cards inside the POPSTARTER folder.
Still inside the POPSTARTER folder in your MC, create the SMBCONFIG.DAT file
(and IPCONFIG.DAT too but it's optional).

SMBCONFIG.DAT

Code: 
SERVER_IP_ADDRESS SHARE_NAME
UserName(if set)
Password(if set)

IPCONFIG.DAT

Code: 
PS2_IP_ADDRESS NETMASK GATEWAY
 
So I have the IPCONFIG.DAT and the SMBCONFIG.DAT in the POPSTARTER folder on the root of MC0 but I am a little lost on your first point do I need multiple copies of POPSTARTER.ELF (one for each game?) and am I renaming the game files or the POPSTARTER.ELF? this is also the first time im hearing about the conf_apps.cfg. Sorry im a little new to this...

Yes, each VCDs needs one ELF pair. And the ELFs must be named like how the VCDs are named, only with SB. prefix added at the start since you're using SMB.
 
Im not sure how to do that?

okay I can make the file but I dont have the smb0 folder on my mc can I just create it?

okay i dropped the config files into the opl folder and they now show up in opl (yay!) but I cant run them I get the error
"Error, could not run the item"

smb0:/ is the path of your SMB share
If you got the "Could not run the item" error make sure the path is correct.
