OPL CF TEST

I wanted a bit of a break from sound as trying to use a ring buffer was doing my head in so I'm toying around with the idea of a cover flow in OPL just for fun..codes a little hackish but I've managed to render the current item cover, the 2 prior and the 2 following.

Main problem I'm facing is I can't figure out how to point to the tail of the games list to display the last item before the first, I can point to the head after the tail by using
Code:
menu->item->submenu;
but can't...

Ok I think its best to start a new thread here rather than clogging up ifcaro repo.
Even if this doesn't get merged with the offical repo i'm hoping to set up a kind of skeletal frame work in case someone more efficient/skilled comes along and wishes to finish it off/use it as reference.

@TnA You've made some great suggestions and will do my best to implement them, majority of them seem doable for me.

Please keep in mind this is my first real coding project and I'm doing...

Game/Compatibility-Settings (visual) overhault?!

Initially, it was not intended, that the Compatibility-Menu would have any sub-menus...

However! Due to the addition of features like VMC, Cheats and PADEMU, we have some sub-menus and some options directly visible.

It looks a bit cluttered, puzzled, full and un-organized or atleast it begins to and it only can get worse...


What about organizing the game-settings similar to the global settings with sub-menus in a list like:
  • Compatibility-Modes (those currently visible modes,...

On the vanilla 0.9.3, when I press X on a game title from the list, it just boots. With the beta I used for testing Shadow Man 2, every time I pick a game from the list, there's another screen with X as "run" and O "as "cancel".

ART --> RES(ource) and related features

Hello guys!

I mentioned some of the ideas in the SND-Thread before, but thought I would explain some ideas in more detail.



First idea:
SND/SFX-Support is about to be merged, including 'per theme sfx'-support!
Something similar could be done, to support 'per-game-SFX', for things like the Info-Page or the compatibility-settings, etc.


Second idea:
I really hope, @Krah will make an open PR for BGM-Support!
If that's implemented, something similar how 'per-theme-sfx&BGM'...

An OPL-Structure related question

I am quite sure we had that kind of topic in a thread (possibly on psx-scene.com), but there never was a real conclusion.


So basically, what I would like to ask:
How is the game-data fed to the game? Is the CDVD-(Emu-)Support-layer/IRX feeding another non-replaced IRX, original from game) with data, or via the EE-Core?


Basically, I think if the transfer from IOP to the EE is not done via SIF RPC or SIF CMD (or whatever), but rather via the system's provided 'special memory adresses', we...

Further IGR Bug-hunt

This topic is dedicated to hunt down some remaining bugs of IGR!

To me it seems, that there still is a quirk which prevents a lot of games to work with it, which is NOT related to IOP-RAM-Issues!


Most games which need a mode can be fixed with or along with IGR in cases where other IOP-RAM-Saving Modes do not help, which leads me to conclude that the issue could be elsewhere!

Please list some games which need Mode 6 woth Ifcaro-build 1229 or newer!

Alright guys! I just bought a SanDisk 1TB SSD Plus for my PC.

Before I build it in, I would like to do some tests with the PS2... especially loading 'in-game' and a comparison of scrolling through the HDD-OSD with quite some games installed!

The test will be conducted/done via one of the GameStar SATA-Adapters (I can make some pictures of it and the interior, if someone is interested.), because I have none of those FATs with me who have got a Sony-NWA and even if I had it here, I don't...

VMC bug

I think I've found a bug with OPL's VMC function (using the latest build 1392 from PS-Home).

What I'm trying to do is to copy my Enthusia (SLUS_209.67) save game from my physical memory card onto a VMC to use with OPL in SMB mode.

I tried this by a) mounting a VMC and copying with uLaunchELF and b) using MyMC but Enthusia recognises neither of them using OPL over SMB.

Here's where it gets interesting… some more facts from my testing:
  1. I can create a VMC in SMB mode, create a...

Related Github issue: https://github.com/ifcaro/Open-PS2-Loader/issues/158

Summary

OPL seems to have issues with extremely long loading times at boot, when there are many games installed. This happens when:
  • There are many games on the HDD unit.
  • Or for USB devices/SMB share: there are many games in the CD and/or DVD directories, with no boot filename in their filenames.

For the HDD unit:
the cause is the design of APA, which is the...

I was playing, and suddently game music stop playing and the PS2 HDD led was stuck. I hard reseted the PS2, and OPL wouldnt detect the HDD. I had to uninstall it from PS2 and reinstall and try again and it worked fine. I know the LED will get stuck again, but i need to know the cause of this. Is the network adapter, HDD, OPL or PS2?

Max theoretically and practical PS2 transfer speed with OPL

Due to some optimization made recently OPL BETAs should be at least faster than old OPL 0.9.3 through USB.
What is the current transfer speed for all of these devices (HDD, ETH, USB)?

Maximum theoretically speed for almost all devices in PS2 is:
  • HDD ATA interface: ATA-66 (Roughly 66MB/s).
  • Ethernet interface: 100Mbit (Or 12.5MB/s).
  • USB 1.1 interface: 12Mbit (~1.5 MB/s).
  • CD/DVD drive: 24x speed CD-ROM [3.6 MB/s], 4x speed DVD-ROM [5.28 MB/s].

Open PS2 Loader also is developed continuously and anyone can contribute improvements to the project.
