Hello,
This is intended as a reply to this thread, but since I'm a new user I am restricted to only posting here. I am a big noob when it comes to PS2 modding so please forgive me for any stupidity, I am doing my best to learn.
I've copied the version of OPL in the thread above to my memory card and it launches without issue.
I am running the Linux version of udpbd-server on my PC which I downloaded from here: https://github.com/israpps/udpbd-server/releases. It reads my block device and I can see the IP address of my PS2 pop up in the console when I open OPL, so it is connecting successfully:
However, when I press X on "BDM" in OPL, nothing happens. It does not list any games and I cannot proceed.
I would think something is wrong with my block device (an exfat-formatted partition on my PC), but here's the thing -- I have previously successfully gotten udpbd-server working in XEB+ by following this guide:
https://github.com/MegaBitmap/UDPBD-for-XEBP
In XEB+ I can see all the games on my partition and play them with no issues. But I want to use OPL instead of XEB+ because it's quicker to launch (in theory) and doesn't require a USB stick in my PS2, which I've found to be quite finicky.
So, why does it work in XEB+ but not OPL? That's where I'm stumped. Help!
