Zero byte files being created for OPL artwork and themes.

[tpb]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to setup OPL artwork and themes.

Unfortunately, I'm having a problem transferring the files via uLaunchElf from my USB stick (the mass: drive) to my newly created +OPL partition on my internal IDE HDD.

The problem is that the destination files are created as zero byte files (ie, empty files). The destination folders and files are created (ie, the ART and THM folders are created, as well as the theme subfolder, and all files within those folders), but almost all of the files are created as zero bytes in size.

I tried copying one sample artwork .png file, and one sample theme directory (with 17 files within that theme). The .png artwork file was created as zero bytes, as were 15 of the 17 theme files. Oddly, 2 of the 17 theme files were created OK - they are both small files (189 bytes each), and are the only "non-zero byte" files that were created.

I'd tried both copying and moving the files, but get the same problem. I've tried deleting them & doing it over again, but no luck. I've tried earlier versions of uLaunchElf (I thought there may be a bug in the latest version 4.42a) but still no luck.

The +OPL partition is newly created. I made it the minimum 128 MB partition size, but there's plenty of free space - it's currently almost empty.

My PS2 is SCPH-39002, and I'm using OPL 0.8.

Any ideas ... how do I resolve this ?

Thanks.

Am I the first poor sod to ever experience this problem ?

once had a problem somewhat similar, I copied the usb device for MC and everything and with all the files were 0 bytes, because there was enough space in the MC (in my case).
