This is an "XL Mastermix" variation of my Metalciaf re-upload that got me interested in OPL custom themes. That theme stemmed from a Netflix inspired theme with a dark shadow for your games list, in my other master titled threads I tended to increase transparency for a bright background instead. This time things are different, please enjoy the dynamic brightness of the arts with a clear to read long games list. MiXL version shows the source of your games (ex. HDD Games) and has support for a hidden game counter feature (ex. 69/420) that may come to OPL beta code. The game logo is only coded to the info page where everything still looks great. There is ambience for a background music track and the SFX have had alterations to feel NEW

DISCLAIMER: Failure to update your ART folder to OPLManagers 8bit beta database will probably break the background music track so turn that setting off if your still using 32bit .JPG background images etc.

OPTIONAL UPGRADE: I was not happy with the disc ICO files from the new beta database so I took the NTSC games off the recent backup from November and isolated the disc ICO files (download link for them is the closest colored text)​

Update to thm_MiXXL attached to comment for hi-res disc edition
  • extract this new configuration update
  • replace the old conf_theme.cfg
Just in case you check the config you will see the link to the disc arts DOWNLOAD
  • these ICO files are for OPL so move them to the appropriate ART directory of your setup
  • ex. hdd0:/+OPL/ART/
    • If you choose to use USB and transfer ART with launchelf via PS2 be sure to use the hdd-fork and have set up the partition size (1-2gb)
    • I recommend using your pc for APA drives with PFSbatchkit instead, its easier and very useful too
OPLManager and 8bit ART
  • Prior to adding the hi-res disc ART do a pull with OPLManager (8bitbeta)
  • Select your backgrounds for the best result on your display
  • Disc standard is 64x64 resolution
  • Copy/move one set of the 1,825 hi-res files into the dump (/ART) from the program and overwrite existing files, on Windows 11 you can click let me decide for each file if you want to see your games library of changes
  • Copy/move your modded ART folder onto your PS2 storage for OPL

Hey akilluminati47, great work with the XXL version! The only thing that bugs me a little bit is the COV that while is not loaded it shows a black cover with MiXXL imprinted on it with purple color... if you could make a version without it (just like the regular XL) I'd be very grateful ! :)

Also, any chance that you make a PAL 8bit Hires 128x128 ICO pack ?? My PAL games look disgusting hahah
