I tested 5 genuine 8MB memory cards and the same behavior...

Well, okay then.
Please send me a PM with details on how to replicate it (including launcher mode).
If possible, also include full path to the ISO you're trying to launch (from the root of your drive) and attach dumps of your memory card before and after this happens (you can make it with MCA)
 
It "seems" like ATA or Internal HDD that's been built with HDLBInstaller cant be used as ATA sources for NHDDL.. I will do further checking to see if I'm wrong.

I mean, it literally says this in the readme:
NHDDL is a Neutrino launcher that scans FAT/exFAT-formatted BDM devices for ISO files, lists them and boots selected ISO via Neutrino.

NHDDL only works with MBR/GPT FAT/exFAT-formatted devices (including ATA).
Anything related to HDL installs games into APA partitions.
 
I have noticed (al least on v0.3.0) that if a game is from other region than a console and I add logo:
to the global.yaml:
launch.png


Game will not boot.
I have to uncheck this option.
Is there something that can prevent this situation to happens?

No. When -logo is passed to Neutrino, it runs the game through the PS2LOGO the same way the original OSD does.
PS2LOGO attempts to decrypt the boot logo from the game disc and fails to boot the game if decryption fails (on all consoles except the earliest ones) or if the logo checksum doesn't match the expected value (on PAL and NTSC-J). Since PAL and NTSC logos are slightly different, PS2LOGO serves as a region protection mechanism.

I know that OPL performs its own logo check and disregards the setting if it fails, but NHDDL is designed to allow you to pass any input to Neutrino without any checks; it doesn't verify the arguments. In fact, it's possible that you might intentionally want to pass -logo to an out-of-region game.

Hello, i want to try nhddl. I have a fat with sata gamestar NA, formatted hdd to exFAT, made two folders "CD" & "DVD", put one game on each.
I have nhddl-v0.3.0-46-gd785c7d, neutrino v1.3.1 with folders "config" & "modules".
nhddl.elf & nhddl.yaml are in neutrino folder (nhddl.yaml has entry "mode: ata")
NEUTRINO folder is in "mc0:/APPS/NEUTRINO"

If i use grimdoomers fork of opl, the games show in opl and they start correctly.
If i run nhddl, it shoes loading the modules, then some text appears, but it resets immediately and i can´t read it. It kicks me back to osdsys.
What can it be?
Or has nhddl some debug commands like pops to make a break on error, instead to reset?


EDIT: Ok i solved it, i choosed the v.0.2.0 Unified BDM support version and it works!

Thx, but as i edit my post above, i choosed the v.0.2.0 Unified BDM support version that worked.
Or must the nightly work too? I try to look what it stays.

They all should work, but extended BDM support (needed for testing support for two HDDs) is only available in the nightly version.

This works. Thx

Interesting, as I didn't change anything other than that delay (which should have no effect on NHDDL working)...
 
Hey everyone, v1.0.0 is out.
Be sure to check out the changelog and README as it brings some breaking changes (unless you've been using nightly releases :))

I've got PAL PS2 on SCART TV
Everything looks good except the white text flickers slightly.

Well, NHDDL runs in interlaced mode by default, so that's why the text can flicker.
On PAL this might be more noticeable.

You can try enabling 480p mode if your TV supports it.
