Admittedly I don't know how the program works, but the Memory Card Pro 2 is set up to work with real hardware and real discs as well correct? Wouldn't the card just be able to read the info from the disc/iso regardless of boot method? Even Grimdoomer's OPL knows what each discs serial is...
A real shame if this is abandoned, it's a great setup that works most of the time.
I found a really odd but not at all important glitch:
When using any normal controller everything works fine, but when plugging in a Guitar Hero controller, the cover art doesn't load. No idea how these two...
I don't think using an SSD is going to be of any benefit. The PS2 is old tech and the read speeds will be determined by the PS2 itself, not the drive. That said, I'm using a 4tb 5400rpm Seagate Barruccuda drive, and it's working great with version 1.2.03, though it's a 3.5".
Okay New update. This is on 1.2.02 still, I just saw that there may be a new build. Did an IGR on Zil 'Ol Infinite and it actually tried to reboot, but OPL crashed while loading the HDD. After this IGR, even after hard resets, OPL is unable to boot any games without crashing. This is after...
Spent all night adding games and working to manually add cover art, and ran into a big issue. When plugging my working drive back into my windows PC, my PC says that the drive is empty and in raw format. I thought it had been erased, but when I plugged it back into my PS2 it still worked...
Another thing I've now tested: Renaming games through OPL crashes the PS2, though the change DID properly save and on a hard reboot, the file is renamed. Weird issue.
Posted earlier about v1.2.01 and had no luck, but 1.2.02 seems to be working for me now, so thank you very much! Have booted a couple games, one CD (Bloody Roar 3) and one DVD (Midnight Club 3: Dub Remix) and both played well. Settings seem to be saving properly with just my Freemcboot memory...
If this is referring to my post then that's awesome! I didn't realize the way I was describing my issue was the same as one of the listed ones. Thank you all for your hard work.
I use the Disk Management program in Windows 10 and have also tried Mini partition tool wizard to format my drive, to no avail. It seems upon further testing that the OPL Ver 1.2.0.1 is having issues all on its own. I can often boot it successfully once from a clean install after copying it to...
Your Version of OPL Crashes for me immediately when my hard drive is attached, but launches fine when hard drive bay is empty. I have reformatted the drive from scratch multiple times following your guide directly with internal SATA connection. I'm using a 4tb Seagate Baraccuda drive. My old APA...
