Are you able to add cover art, config, cheat folders? I use OPL manager to add covert art and all the other info per game. Also, looks like this batch file uses the old version of POPS, where it requires XX.game, now you can just use game id before the game name and OPL will detect it (at least the daily build version)

I'm not sure why you would use this if you are using (severely outdated) daily build.
As for the xx.game - isn't that just to disclose the file location? So like, I have SMB USB and HDD. HDD gets no prefix, USB and SMB have prefixes.
I am not aware of that changing - do share if I have this wrong.

I'd rather use a stable version of OPL if I can. Yeah my OPL-DB works, but a lot of people claim jay-jay is not exactly the most honest (or best) programmer. The fork could be full of adware, malware, bugs, etc. On the daily-build version, it detects that they are on a usb device. No renaming of the files required.

In other words, you want the "script" to "guess" the game you are "thinking" to go and "download" it and "extract" it for you.
Dude is a script, not a "fortune teller with telekinetic powers."
They no longer make any effort.

I still don't understand what he's saying lol.
This app did the XX. and SB. and lackthereof both for me.

It looks like gamerman5000 has a couple good tutorials on how to set up Popstarter in the Apps section. Also, I can put all my other emulators there like SNES, NES, Sega since it's cluttering up the OSDSYS menu a bit. I'm going to check that out since a few people are suggesting OPL stable version is much better than DB version, especially with the new release. I may remove Popstarter and Ps2psxe altogether though since I found a few better alternatives

Best version of OPL:

I finally got it to work right using OPL apps instead of "PS1" in daily-build, but boy did I run into some issues. Took me a few hours, but I finally got the naming and folder structure right- XX.Game.ELF for the game and XX.Game.ELF_COV.JPG for the art. I should probably write a short tutorial, since I'm not really sure if one is up, but I ran into several issues, and it's actually pretty easy once you get down to it.

I encourage you to do so! Community always can use tutorials for these types of things.
