PS2 [Testers Needed] Open PS2 Loader with exFAT support (files above 4GB on USB)

Dariush Aghaee said:
I have test several games (about 17) in ZSO and exfat format. The only thing that doesn't work is mode 4. Videos don't skip. Any freezes solved by enabling mode 1.
Thank you for this great work.
32K is default size for exfat for my 32G and 16G pen drives.

I tried video skip (mode 4) with Ultraman - Fighting Evolution 2 (Japan).zso, it works.
 
My Console is 9XXXX and im using OPL 1.2.0 1968..I formatted my 500 GB USB External Hard Drive in exFAT and loaded games in ZSO format. When I connect the USB External Hard Drive to my PS2, it does not show the games...It works like charm when i put the games in a 16, 32, 64 and 128 GB pen drive (Format in exFAT and ZSO games)
 
Yes...tried the 1970 Beta version just now....still games not showing

Im trying to use OPL 1.2.0 v1968 and 1970 in the MODBO 5.0 moded console as well....but getting black screen when i run the OPL

how about before? without using OPL Exfat does it works?
 
I am unable to play PS1 games via exFat USB, But the PS1 games work fine via FAT32 formatted USB.

The PS2 games work fine both on exFAT and FAT32

I am using OPL V1.2.0 (2 month old beta version) and trying PS1 games via POPStarter in APPS menu.

I am trying to get a ADATA 480GB SSD inside a USB enclosure detected but having problems.

I formatted it to 64K cluster size and made sure it is set to MBR table but OPL (1.20 1970) fails to detect the drive. The latest wLaunchELF also does not detect it.

Things I've tried:

  1. Tried different USB cable
  2. Tried 250GB HDD inside same brand USB enclosure with 64K cluster size and MBR table which worked fine
Does anyone have any ideas why it's not being detected? Thanks.
 
Jackie Chan Adventures and King Arthur....both these r not working...tried these in FAT32 as well as exFAT...on pen drive...can someone solve this issue?

I have tested OPNPS2LD-v1.2.0-Beta-1938-f36e568 (from github) with an old crappy 4GB pendrive, using a CD iso (converted from bin/cue) of "18 wheeler". It works great. It has only worked with MBR + exfat, not GPT + exfat, so I guess GPT is not implemented yet. Fortunately, according to my tests, it seems like Windows doesn't impose GPT+exFAT or MBR+fat32 on pendrives (but it imposes GPT+UEFI or MBR+BIOS when it comes to booting), but changing from GPT to MBR is not straightforward on Windows.

This all depends on if your motherboard is running in UEFI Mode or Legacy CSM.

If the former, Windows defaults to GPT. If the latter, Windows default to MBR.

Conversion between the two is very easy, but you have to be careful because you have to run DISKPART from an Elevated Command Prompt, and you don't want to accidently nuke your Windows drive. So pay attention and double check your work because every instruction beyond this point is destructive to data ...

Once at the DISKPART prompt ...

Code: 
 DISKPART> list disk

All of your installed storage devices are detected and enumerated. The last column will have an asterisk for any GPT drives and no asterisk for MBR, and converting between the two is simple enough ...

Code: 
DISKPART> select disk X ------------- (where "X" is the number of the flash drive)
DISKPART> clean ------------ (this will nuke all data, restoring the drive to "unallocated space")
DISKPART> convert MBR/GPT --------------- (self explanatory but need to "clean" first before conversion)

After all that that, you can proceed to format your flash drive via Right Click or through Disk Management. Make sure you assign a drive letter so Windows can mount the drive automatically ...
 
i just can't get it to work. have a 4 tb hard drive formatted in exfat with 512 cluster size, as a gpt table. I have also created the DVD folder. it also boots the hard drive, but nothing is displayed. if I take a usb stick as exfat, it works. maybe someone has a tip from you on what it could be.

There's overlap in these two threads ...

This thread is for testing Acid-Snake's EXFAT support on USB devices ...

Grim Doomer's thread is for testing EXFAT on Internal HDD ...
 
Hi guys, sharing my report here:
PS2 Slim 75001 + FMCB + USB Drive formatted using exFAT (default 128k allocation size) using the latest OPL builds from github.
All games (50+) running perfectly fine compressed using ZSO with 2 exceptions (Twisted Metal Black and Rayman 2 Revolution) that I was able to run using the original ISOs.
My only observation is that creating save files in game using VMC is taking more time than when I was using some old version of OPL (cant remember the revision, but it was old). Is that the expected behavior in newer OPL builds or it's something that might be caused by the exFAT formatting?
Thank you for the progress so far, exFAT is much more convenient!
 
Are these changes going into the OPL repo? I remember there was a pull request once but it appears to be gone from the OPL github.

Support for exFAT has already been integrated into the main OPL repository. There's no "custom" build anymore, any of the latest beta will have it.

I just tried the latest 1.2.0 Beta from the OPL repo and it doesnt detect my exfat hdd that worked with grim doomers builds.
I notice that HDD is missing from the BDM device list also. Is this the beta build you meant?
