POPStarter

PS2 POPStarter 2019/06/05

Apologies if this question has been asked or its a dumb question in general:

There is a new hdmi mod (retrogem) that is due to release in a couple of months. In the video:
it is mentioned that OPL will be able to communicate game ID with the retro gem so that you can set configurations up per game. Is the same functionality possible for emulators like POPStarter? Does the retrogem actually do anything for emulated games on POPStarter?

Not a dumb question at all. I made an OPL Build with full Retro GEM Game ID support for PS2 Games, PS1 Games via POPStarter, and homebrew apps. You can find it here

If you prefer to launch your PS1 games or homebrew apps from HDD-OSD or PSBBN and have Retro GEM Game ID support, I made this little app that I called Retro GEM POPStarter Starter
 
Why does Noone make a PR of "visual Game-ID Transmission" to the official OPL repo?
I think some people without a Retro GEM would be confused by that weird line appearing on screen and others might find it annoying. If it was to be included in the official repo I think there would have to be an option in the settings to toggle the feature on and off.
 
STOP SPAMMING YOUR UNRELATED TRASH EVERYWHERE!

OPL has nothing to do with PS1-games! FIRST reply in the thread on Reddit that you linked to!

There is no need to use POPStarter on PS3, because you can mount your game with e.g. webMAN MOD
and play it better.
Every PS3 has a build in PS1 emulator.

Anyway back to the question.
It should be doable.
 
Hello. When I run games from usb, HDTVFIX from cheats.txt file is applied. But when I run the game via smb, HDTVFIX is not applied. how can I fix this?

The cheats are in the POPS folder on the smb disk, I also tried adding the cheats file to the folder where SLOT0.VMC are located

You don´t have some popstarter.elf´s lying around by chance, that i can test to run pops over Gamestar NA (SATA) with APA mode?
I tried different games.vcd´s to run with your uLE, but it stays always on black screen.
With debug it stays on "mounting __common to pfs1..."
