[Open ps2 ] Yellow screen problem

**iie** · 05-07-2010,06:20 AM

Hello

I have the problem with the open ps2, I've put the motorstorm arctic edge on the hdd [ connected via usb, formatted to fat32, defragmentated with game on it ], and it always froze on the yellow screen when I want to start the game, the same situation is with the god of war 1 and 2. Motorstrom is working like a charm on the usbadvance so maybe I've done something wrong with openps2? I've tried compatibility mode. I have to add that all my games are in PAL system, may it be a reason?

If you've defragmented your games properly, you should not get a yellow screen.

Ensure that your disk is corruption-free (use chkdsk/scandisk to check for errors).

Try re-installing you games again... if they still don't work. Repartitioning + formatting are the last options.

Also, when we say that you have to defragment your disk, we mean there should be no "Fragmented" regions displayed in your disk defragmenter (Some defragmenters just leave certain parts of the disk fragmented at times)!

OPL should NOT be region-locked, so you games (NTSC or PAL) should all work, provided that they were compatible in the 1st place.

USBAdvance/USBExtreme are able to play fragmented games, as they are not reliant on the disk's filesystem to be defragmented.

If all else fails, you may have the same issue as me: OPL does not like your USB disk, and will never work with it (All versions of it from 0.41 - v0.6 won't work).

try a small game first on a usb stick if that works OPL doesn't like your USB enclosure

i got the same problem in the past other USB HD enclosures 2 of my regular USB/IDE enclosure and one USB/IDE dongle got yellow screen an my 2 gig USB stick and 2.5 USB/SATA enclosure works. but all works on some lower revs.

haven't tried 0.7 yet hope it works on all my enclosures
