it's odd, it's working when booting a disc, and using opl v1.1.0 without game id, but for some reason it cant detect the game with this neutrino opl. maybe it just doesnt work with neutrino at all?
 
Can't get oplneut to work, I get a black screen using OPLNEUTV41.ELF on usb and NEUTRINO (tried 1.2.0 and 1.3.1) folder on mc. I want to use It with an exfat hdd but the gui doesn't even open for me.

I understand. Thanks for the explanation. Neutrino supports large HDDs, according to what they answered on their github. Hopefully opl too, someday.

This is my hope as well. Large drive support with lightweight client. Love it. Unless there is a way load games off the drive more directly.

OPLNEUTV41 works well with the latest neutrino via USB. But OPLNEUTV41 only supports neutrino 1.2.0 via UDPBD.

Hi, thanks for reporting! I just wanted to update OPLNEUT for 1.3.1 UDPBD support, but found that it works fine with neutrino 1.3.1 via UDPBD. 1.3.1 still uses same command arguments for UDPBD exfat (default) share. I didnt tested current development version of neutrino, though. But 1.3.1 works fine with UDPBD via OPLNEUTV41.

Hi.
Which version is the latest for USB?
Are you planing to update it for Neutrino v1.3.1 or is it not necessary?

OPLNEUTV41.ELF is latest version for all supported backends, including USB. It works fine with Neutrino 1.3.1.
Just checked it right now with neutrino 1.3.1 it works just fine. UDPBD works fine too.

OPLNEUT - just a binary patched OPNPS2LD-v1.2.0-Beta-2044 (UDPBD enabled build) to convert it to neutrino GUI with familiar UI. You may think of it as of neutrino GUI, or you may get on other side of view, and look at OPLNEUT as OPL version with "externalized" main core, where is main core became a "plugin" in form of external neutrino.elf. It takes best from both worlds - GUI from OPL (also cheats and gsm) and speed, compatibility, innovations, lower memory footprint from neutrino.
Thereofe, it use OPNPS2LD-v1.2.0-Beta-2044 original browser and management core code, and only at the launch stage, when user selected game and launched it - it swaps original OPL core to external neturino.elf, providing all needed data for it to propertly launch selected game.
Thereofe, until you selected game and launched it, OPLNEUT behaves like a original OPNPS2LD-v1.2.0-Beta-2044. Just because, until you launch selected game, the patch code still not enabled. That means, if you have any difficulties at any pre launch stage - you will have same difficulties with original OPNPS2LD-v1.2.0-Beta-2044 (UDPBD enabled build), and those problems not related to OPLNEUT nor neutrino.
If you want to use any new type of share (backend), supported by neutrino, but not supported by OPNPS2LD-v1.2.0-Beta-2044 - it will not work, because OPNPS2LD-v1.2.0-Beta-2044 core and manager dont know how to use it. But in other cases, if command line arguments format for neutrino.elf not changed, OPLNEUT will work with any neutrino version with any supported backends (usb,hdd, mx4sio, iLink, UDPBD)
And main bonus of OPLNEUT, that it allow to use OPL gsm and cheat features with neutrino.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong...

1. I have unpacked Neutrino and copy everything into mc0:/Neutrino:
neutr.png

2. Turn on BDM:
opl-gui.png


3.
opl-g2.png

Once I select any game it keeps me kicking into PS2 Broser instead of launching the game.
I do not have this issue with e.g. NHDDL.

EDIT 1: Never mind.
Neutrino should be in mc0:/NEUTRINO/, not mc0:/Neutrino/.
So all the folder letters should in UPPER case.
Although the PS2 logo and the debug colors do not work for me...

EDIT 2: Added into the Resources.

Another vote for exfat hdd support.
It shouldn't be too hard to support exfat hdds here as Neutrino already does it. NHDDL uses Neutrino and loads from my exfat hdd just fine so it is possible.
This could then become the latest greatest loader. Although I think a new, built from scratch loader that is based off Neutrino without relying on OPL's backend should be the way forward. Then Grimdoomers version (although it is great work) can finally be retired.
 
What's the command to run udpbd-vexfat.exe? If using udpbd-server.exe on OPL UDPBD, it is:

"C:\path\to\udpbd-server.exe" \\.\F:

("F:" is a USB flash drive in this case).

What's the command to run udpbd-server.exe?

May I have my games on the PC's SSD along with udpbd-vexfat.exe, instead of on an USB flash drive (unlike if using udpbd-server.exe)?

Also, may I have my games on the PC's SSD and udpbd-server.exe on an USB flash drive or it has to be otherwise for it to work? Do I need to format the PC's SSD partition/USB flash drive where the games are located in Linux/GParted Live if using udpbd-vexfat.exe or only if using udpbd-server.exe?

@nikeymikey you can also use this.

@RandomGuy2024 check out this, this and this.

I don't get what the first link has to do with what I asked and what is write mode?

Yes, I found out about that XEB+ neutrino Launcher Plugin fork which supports UDPBD unlike the original and I was able to run it but the game I tried still had issues when compared to running it on OPL via UDPBD, though less. The game I ran and udpbd-vexfat.exe (which comes with the fork [together with udpbd-server.exe] and is ran by it) were both on the laptop's SSD.

Also, unfortunately, XEB+ doesn't work if ran from a MC so I have to run it from an USB device.

EDIT: Now, the original XEB+ neutrino Launcher Plugin supports UDPBD as well.
