Complete PS2 HDD & OPL Video Setup Guide for large Backup Collections:
Covers the whole process start to finish. From a PS2 and a HDD to a PS2 with as many PS1 or PS2 backups that your HDD will fit, all games with cover art setup for each game.
All the tools needed included in one 7zip file included in video description, except for the POPS binaries, you'll have to use google for that.

This guide is aimed at people with large backup collections, were batch processes are used for transferring downloading and renaming files for OPL

BOTH IDE OR SATA drives work, SATA drives NEED TO BE 2TB or smaller

Instead of "ftp" I would suggest using the "NBD Server" in OPL and manage it that way.
It is WAY faster, way more flexible and so on!

You can mount your internal HDD as if it were connected to your PC and hence also use all tools which work "locally" on a PC!!!

You can mount a partition and access it via the normal Browser!

You can mount binary images of the connected MemoryCards (it shows up as NBD.bin currently, but could have a per-slot-number or per-MC-number)!

...and much more is possible!


Edit:
7:50 You forgot to create "+OPL" with an appropriate size!

11:15 Do NOT use "expand"! It is bugged!

24:05 That's NOT "OPL" but the "OPL DB" FORK!
