Ps2 Opl HDD black screen after changed the theme

Good morning, i got a fat ps2 with freehdboot 0.9.3. I've installated a theme and for 2 minutes it work s well, then the wallpapers and covers of the games become black. Then i restarted the ps2 and after the freemcboot logo the ps2 go on black screen and after many minutes it go on the screen of memory card. I ve also updated the version of freehdboot at 0.9.6 with hddrawcopy and restored sectors with winhip, but nothing happened. Luckely i ve a memory card with freemcboot, and going in opl it read the games, and it works well, but covers themes and wallpapers not appears. Also with my memory card i m went in ulaunchelf going in hdd folder, then +opl and inside everything is gone! There is nothing! I tried also to copy a file inside the folder but it give me failed. Thank's for support!

There is not such a thing as freehdboot 0.9.3. or 0.9.6.
FMCB can be e.g. 1.966: https://www.psx-place.com/resources/free-memory-card-boot-fmcb-free-harddisk-drive-boot-fhdb.712/.

There is OPL 0.9.3, but I never seen 0.9.6.
Currently latest OPL is 1562:

You are using internal HDD or USB HDD?

Covers for games should be in "hdd0:/+OPL/ART" for iHDD,
or in mass:/ART for USB HDD.

Themes in "hdd0:/+OPL/THM", mass:/THM.

If you do not have any files there... nothing will be shown in OPL.


If you write new image with hddrawcopy all old content on HDD will be lost.

Check\try this noobie package:

Then try to delete OPL partition and install OPL again :

- Create partition called +OPL with 4096MO size

- Put OPL to HDD : hdd0:/_sysconf/FMCB/

- Edit FMCB_CFG.elf to configurate your new OPL

You want to delete your games or not ?

I guess that removing the partition of OPL doesn't delete your games.
Nono i dont want...but i saw that with opl with memory card sometimes it see the theme, so i think the files are yet into the folder, so i think that folder is locked or similar, and the files are there

I didn't understand everything but i think the best way is to format your HDD.

That is why you'll restart on a sound basis..

As i said, you can also delete the OPL partition and recreate it.

If you are afraid of loosing your games, you can launch OPL from a memory card too..
 
This is the situation in that folder: i can't do anything!

According to your screen, removing OPL partition will not delete your games..

You have to delete from HDDManager, i don't know how, i saw something with rename the partition +video but i don't know.
 
Games are stored in a different partitions (e.g. PP.Name of the game).
+OPL partition is for all the settings (network, global...), covers, themes... for OPL.

If you will delete this partition only all your config for OPL will be lost,
but all installed games will not be touched.

Do you have any folders in +OPL partition (ART, CFG, THM...)?
OPL should make them automatically after launching this app for the first time.

Can you use wLaunchELF 41e4ebe from 14\01\2019:
https://www.psx-place.com/resources/wlaunchelf.713/
instead of uLe 4.42d to copy covers into +OPL/ART.
 
I,ve deleted opl partition, then recreated with 4096 mb of memory, i saved but i've the same problem. I don't remember a think, i've fhdb, its normal that before the black screen i've the freemcboot logo?
