PS2 Open PS2 Loader 0.9.3 - User guide by ShaolinAssassin

[jolek]

Here's an updated User Guide for OPL 0.9.3 made by ShaolinAssassin.
Old sksapps 0.8 guide has been taken as base/template, removed obsolete stuff in it,
updated what needs to be updated, added the new stuff.
It's almost complete - only the VMC part is missing - but VMC did not change much since 0.8 AFAIK.

The user guide focuses on 0.9.3 stable version - since it should be our daily basis gaming OPL version.
A page dedicated to beta features is in work. If I find infos, maybe a page about OPL on PS3 too.

@ShaolinAssassin your wiki seems to be gone missing.

EDIT: Everything seems to be fine now.

I now see a message when clicking on the links that says:
Repository unavailable

Bitbucket no longer supports Mercurial repositories.

 

[jolek]

Thanks for alert.
Unfortunately I haven't seen @ShaolinAssassin for quite long time...
So I don't know if this wiki can be move or copy somewhere else...

Last thing that comes to my head is to try backup:

Are there any newer documentation or written tutorials?

His PopStarter stuff is still visible. I didn't check all the pages, but the main page shows it was last updated in February. - https://bitbucket.org/ShaolinAssassin/popstarter-documentation-stuff/wiki/Home

Apparently the OPL guide was updated as recently as July 6th - https://bitbucket.org/ShaolinAssassin/workspace/projects/PROJ

Use mirror.
It can take a while to load (I needed to wait ~30 s) backup.
