POPSLoader

PS2 POPSLoader v1.0.0 - rev5

POPSLoader
A Highly customizable and flexible standalone POPStarter launcher
Based on Enceladus, completely scripted in Lua.

The UI can be customized in any way you want, the sky is the limit!*

The initial release supports launching games from USB or internal HDD, SMB support is planned for future updates since I haven't had time to learn how to operate SMBMAN.IRX yet

Instructions:
Paste the contents of the bin/ folder from the download package into a location of your preference inside a FAT32/EXFAT USB storage device or any PFS partition of internal HDD (pro tip: while loading games from USB, if POPSLoader is placed on mass:/BOOT.ELF, POPStarter will automatically load it after performing an IGR)

The POPSLDR/ folder must always be on the same location than the POPSLoader ELF.


Extras:
inside the package, you will find a file called PATCH_5.BIN, it contains custom POPStarter IGR textures that match the aspect of the stock UI of POPSLoader.

*Of course, the program is still limited by the hardware...

This project is officially abandoned.
I originally made it scripted on lua so that anyone can modify it in any way. so it can be maintained if someone is willing to keep it alive

It is a project with great potential, but, as it is in its early stages, it appears to have some bugs. It's a shame that the developer feels offended by questions from those who want to help him.

1) I don't have time to simultaneously maintain all the projects I have.
2) I don't know what made you think I'm offended by questions...
3) I'm currently focused on much more important projects than a launcher for an abandoned emu

Excellent! I can finally see my games list without much work and without fragmentation, all that was left was the smb and putting on the covers, other than that, perfect!
Come on!! Another great contribution to the PS2 Scene!! Grande!!
