PSBBL&OPL problems

[Vanja_Mileshovskyj]

I installed PSBBN on the sata hard drive via powershell, I also installed PS2 games through it, they are in the PS2 menu and run, but in the OPL in the APA section there is no game, the OPL version is 1.2 rev 2201 beta. How to make the OPL see the games? I use the OPL because of the GSM - I often use it to scale the image. How to make the OPL see the icons on the internal HDD? I used Phat PS2 SCPH-30004 and original network adapter with Bitfunx Sata mod, HDD -WD blue 1TB.The older version of the OPL (1.1.0) also does not see the games in the apa section. I installed the game versions via the ISO file.

If you have in mind PSBBN DEP, then your games aren't lies on APA and turning on APA in settings is pointless. On APA, there was created several partitions with launcher, each for each game you added, those giving parrams and starting OPL/NTR, which starting games from exFAT partition on MBR area. You see, PSBBN DEP, setting up APA-Jail, a hybrid disk. It is not APA and not MBR or GPT, it is mix of them to fool both environments: PS2 and PC.

If you want see games which lies on exFAT in OPL, you need to turn on BDM HDD, disable APA HDD, and seek games on BDM category, not in APA category.

OPL v1.1.0 not supporting BDM HDD (you need 1.2.0 Beta not older than build 2184):

The thing is that I just want to see games, since I use gsm to improve the image (when possible in games). Version 1.2.0 _2204 does not see games on the internal hdd. Maybe I did not activate some functions? In BDM I cannot enable the hdd function.

As I said, you must disable APA HDD, and enable BDM HDD.

Thank you, this helped, the problem is solved

There is still a question: why was saving settings from a memory card/internal hdd/usb flash drive replaced and only storage on a usb flash drive was left? And are there any plans to add storage on a memory card/internal hdd in the future?

All are supported except BDM HDD. Problem lies in priorities set from where it starting searching and where it finds config first.

I agree that it is not intuitive and should be changed. Like reading conf_apps.cfg from launch dir, where would be declared target save path.
