Open PS2 Loader 0.5 samba query

[Bauldrick]

I have just become aware of this project in the last few days - excellent work!!

I got my 2 (fat) PS2's out of the loft and dusted them down, they both have network adaptors.
I am interested (mainly) in the streaming abilities. My NAS runs Debian and is on 24/7, so this becomes ideal.

Thats the bit nobody cares about out of the way


Basically, my problem is this:

Every game I have 'installed' on the shared folder shows up, but running them I just get a flash of a pink screen and then it stays yellow.

I have read about a bit but become confused

In the shared folder I should just have the games (*.00,*.01 etc...) plus ul that describes all games therin? Or should (as an app on the PSP does it) I be 'mirroring' the memory card and it's file structure (BEEXEC etc...) within the shared folder - i.e PS2SMB > BEEXEC blah blah?

I'm guessing I've got it right and the games aren't compatible, should I mess with these 'Modes' (I read that they no longer working)?

I´d say, this proves, that your connection (and how it is configured) is correct.
How long did you wait on this yellow screen.
Some games need a bit long there,...

No, you don´t have to "mirror" it.
Only the USBA-Parts in a shared folder + the *.ul-file.

They work.
They might change for a future-release,...

Yes, try those modes and take a look at the new compatibility-lists, which are currently "under construction".

Curse my impatiance!!

Robin Hood 2 just loaded up

I am right then in thinking, the larger the game the longer the "loading"?

Are there any plans to get things working when <user> is used in smb.conf? I've had to switch to <share> to get it working (and due to SMS also).
