If that is the VMode you want you are in luck. It's already in GSM and called HDTV 480p. There is no "zoom", "stretch", "black frame" or "pixely" difference between 480p and 480i. 480p uses a standard progressive frame and 480i uses a interlaced frame with different width depending on if the...

My main "issue" was with the "Simply reversing a change might not be the answer. Go debug it." As if that was simple for the average person to do. But I guess you were making a point and I shouldn't have taken it as literary, sorry. I really shouldn't be arguing for TnA as I believe he is...

While I do agree that proper debugging and fixing would be great, the sad fact of the matter is that the number of active developers that know how to debug games and fix issues right now seem to be quite low. I would love to learn how to debug a game to help out when I can. But I haven't been...

No, not CFG files. The partition holds some data like the game ID and the game name in the partition. Example from HDL dump: hdl_dump.exe inject_dvd hdd1: "Gran Turismo 3" c:\gt3.iso SCUS_971.02 *u4 That will make a partition on the hdd with the game name "Gran Turismo 3" and the game ID...

If you are talking about the list of games you have on different devices, I believe that USB and ETH uses the name from the ISO filename and HDD uses the HDL game information name. Both of which need to be edited manually.

Tried using my build instructions on Ubuntu Server 20.04 and newlib requires texinfo to build, I've edited it in my previous post. Since I have a new build with Maximus32 latest commits I might as well share it if anyone wants to try it.

If they help these are my notes for building OPL on a new VM install of Ubuntu Server 18.04. Build tools: sudo apt install gcc make texinfo Packer dependencies: sudo apt install libucl-dev zlib1g-dev Set environment variables and paths in sh: echo "export PS2DEV=\$HOME/ps2dev"...

Any chance the "Emulate FIELD Flipping" option for GSM could be added? Need it to make progressive scan work in some games.

Even with the latest commit I still have games missing. I don't have many games on my share since I usually use HDD, but the once I have that are missing are modified/translated games. However they work on prior revisions and on USB, so it shouldn't be the games. EDIT: It seems to occur when...

@sp193, do your latest updates to PS2SDK need an accompanying update to OPL? Otherwise there are regressions with the new commits, like not finding all games on the share.

In my experience, connection issues (assuming correct settings in OPL) are usually due to either not using SMBv1 or credentials. Easiest to just share a folder and allow anyone to read, write and execute in it.

Using PSgen:1 for testing (hint, hint, nudge, nudge, still have graphical glitches) with r1319 on SMB I can create, format and delete VMCs that work correctly. However, OPL will sometimes freeze the console during the format process, but as long as you wait a sufficient amount of time before...

Just a thought. If smb_Disconnect() is called inside DeviceDeinit() and works but when it's called inside DeviceUnmount() it doesn't. Could it not be some issue with DeviceUnmount()? Not that I understand why the shutdown function would affect reading of the VMC. Is that called at any time...

That was one of the reasons I said it was hard to bisect due to multiple issues with VMC at the same time. Without "void DeviceDeinit(void){smb_Disconnect();}" GT3 loads fine and there is a MC in slot 1, but it is empty. With it the game loads fine and the MC has saved data on it. I provided a...

After a bit of trail and error I believe I've found something. I'm not a programmer, so I don't know why it works and if it's wrong/correct. But adding back void DeviceDeinit(void) { smb_Disconnect(); } in "device.smb.c" that was removed in 8dbaaae, VMC starts to work again. Latest OPL with...
