How to add more cover art to the program:
To save space we just included a small sized US art database. You can add your owns to the "Arte" folder in the software named as "[GAMEID]_COV.jpg" (or png), example "SCAJ_010.01_COV.jpg".

If you wish to download more art, we have some (small) ones for you:
Just paste this in your internet browser: http://www.hwc.nat.cu/psx/[GAMEID]_COV.jpg
Example: http://www.hwc.nat.cu/psx/SCAJ_010.01_COV.jpg
Then, save the picture. The entire PSX game database is there (I think I missed none, let me know if that's not the case)...

Batch download the entire art database:
Everything in just one RAR file: https://pixeldrain.com/u/pHZznnJg

Note:
"POPStarter Game Installer for OPL" is a very trimmed version of the PSXtreme's Game Installer, which is still unreleased. Take it as a teaser!

Hello I did a test on your tool on Android using "EXAGGER"(WINDOWS EMULATOR) and it worked normally but I saw the names were weird I watched the HardLevel video to see if this was from the tool in its video, and the names really stay anyway, so ignore my report, Here below is a test video not listed below here for you to see working perfectly fine, and I also wanted to Ask your permission to do a more serious tutorial on my "WJS GAMES ANDROID" channel:

Of course! You can make a serious tutorial about "PSGIFOPL" on your channel!
By the way... What do you mean with "names were weird"? Weird how?
 
@Wesleyjor6 i think you are clicking the "report" button instead of "reply".

replay = quote the message and add your own words to the conversation

report = send an alert to website staff that there is a problem with the message

i believe that they expected the files to be named with the game's name.
Click to expand...
Files are intended to have that long IDs as names.
Doing that you can install the same game multiple times in order to do tests or whatever...
Also, if for some instance you have multiple images created with CloneCD laying around this could be handy, since these images are named by default "IMAGE.CCD/IMG/SUB" and more than one person just creates a folder and saves the image unrenamed on the inside. If the installer takes the file's name by default, a game will overwrite the another.
 
You Could In The Future In An Update Add An Option To Disable And Enable This You Might Be Wondering Why Should I Put This In? And also because unfortunately the majority of Brazilians use that "opl Db" But not everyone has a computer and that's why exaggerating is very useful but not all programs work well in it has a specific but it is very locked because it is very Heavy It is made for "opl Db" but using it in the Windows emulator for android doesn't work very well after converting a game it just crashes unlike yours which works very well so if it converts also for those who use opl db and that There is also no PC but most of them have a cell phone There want to play Ps1 games on the Ps2 of a much easier era It would be really nice Of course you put it if you want It's your option I'm not forcing you to anything Just suggesting
 
I do not endorse the usage of OPL DB.
If the user can install games with his phone, he can also use it to download the official OPL and get rid of the buggy fork he is using.

This tool is intended to be used with the official OPL. Period.
 
Speak now or forever hold your peace!
I have received a lot of DMs and public messages of people complaining about the names of the files on "POPStarter Game Installer for OPL" as well as complainings regarding there's no easy way to delete the already installed games.
"POPStarter Game Installer for OPL" was made in a rush just to help, trying to provide an easy way to add your POPS games to the APPS page on OPL. Honestly, I just took the "Install Game" code from my "PSXtreme Game Installer" and then added this to the code:
Code: 
if File.DoesExist(devicedrive.."conf_apps.cfg") then
    TextFile.WriteFromString(devicedrive.."conf_apps.cfg", ElBrincador..JuegoNombre.."="..NuevoELFPonerAlt, true);
else
    TextFile.WriteFromString(devicedrive.."conf_apps.cfg", JuegoNombre.."="..NuevoELFPonerAlt, true);
end
Then I deleted most of the other functions "PSXtreme Game Installer" has (interestingly for some, I didn't deleted almost any assets, so they are still on the release files).

So, since people wants an easy way to remove their games, I will need to add the listbox and some of the game management code back again from PSXtremeG.I. and do some changes for it to edit the conf_apps.cfg instead of the PSXtreme index files as well as adding an extra "INFO" file on the paths for some values and settings.

After that, I will bring back some management functions from PSXtremeG.I. and these will be:
- Edit game's settings
- Share VMCs
- Multi-discs setup
- Edit cheats
- Art management
- Decompress ECM files (from PSXtreme Toolbox)
- Multi-Track joiner (from PSXtreme Toolbox)
- Download art / fixes / trojan (from PSXtreme Toolbox)

I will certainly not bring back:
- PSXtreme's settings and listing related functions
- Multi-language support (since I will need to edit a lot and that takes a lot of time)

So, here and now I ask you all:
Is there any other function (from PSXtremeG.I. or brand new) that you want me to add to POPStarter Game Installer for OPL?
