PS2rd Releases

[Jay-Jay]

I am currently testing this version that was compiled here: https://github.com/root670/ps2rd/downloads

I am trying to use it with OPL. I followed the OPL instructions (found here) and I can't seem to load OPL. It keeps requesting for me to insert a game disk. See code below for ps2rd.CONF

change this to your OPL path

"mc1:/OPL/OPNPS2LD.ELF",

mine is mc1 but yours may not be the same

Example would be like if in boot folder of MC

"mc0:/BOOT/OPNPS2LD.ELF",

FYI use uLE to find the path

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, that part is correct on my current setup. Earlier today I decided to move OPL to mc1, since mc0 was running out of space. So my OPL is at mc1:/OPL/OPNPS2LD.ELF and the name of OPL file is OPNPS2LD.ELF

I don't know if it matters, but I put this version of PS2rd in mc1. It's at mc1:/ps2rd/ps2rd.elf (it's got it's own CONF and Cheats file) -- I did this, because I did not want to replace the ps2rd (the one I grabbed from the widescreen hack thread), which is on mc0.

Have you tried this new compiled version of ps2rd? It's nice, it has a good GUI layout, but just can't seem to be able to trigger the correct button sequence to load OPL instead of having to place a game disc in the tray. Keeps asking for that. lol!

[RandQalan]

Yea I tried the new one and it will not boot on my PS2 is is garbled junk but I didn't compile it
The one I use is the one I uploaded

I think I figured why it is messed up old CFG file lol

Yea I have the same problem you do the CFG is not being used for custom boot

[Jay-Jay]

Yeah, I also initially had trouble running it. But then read that I must disable this option in the CONF file:

debugger: {
	install = false;

Compared to your version, there is also a new code string that this one has in the CONF file, and that's right after the cheat.txt command. This one I left it as is.

	cheats = "cheats.txt";
	path_is_absolute = false;

I am able to run the cheat.txt file you created on the widescreen hacks (plus a few I added myself). And they show up nicely in the GUI. But I just can't seem to know how to make OPL load after I turn on the cheat codes per game. It keeps asking me to load a Disc in the tray!

And also be careful. If you have a cheat code highlighted per game, and if you press Triangle, it will delete the cheat code per game. Damn! Scary!!

As you say, perhaps the elf has the switched embedded to always ask for a disk. Whoever compiled it, perhaps doesn't care for OPL.

Just tried the new PS2RD GUI branch and im having the same issues here too.
It only uses DVD drive boot by default so there's no OPL support on this branch.
I only wished it has custom boot options as Randqalan stated ealier but it's a good first attempt for a gui implementation though.

[GillBert]

It seems that is a problem which concerns about the GUI only, since I've tested the original PS2RD 0.5.3 (without GUI) and OPL support worked properly.

[ElPatas]

From what i see now in the branch GUI, seems just a month ago, 24 septh, is added in the code the option for
the custom boot, "Press SQUARE to select boot2."

I'm not sure, i tryed to compile it with the virtual machine which i use for compile the OPL, but it closes
the windows terminal without finish it, i don't know why...

If anybody can compile the last commit 401a108, for check if is added the custom option for load the OPL
with the GUI, would be great:

Here. Can't test it though - no PS2 at hand.

[ElPatas]

Many thanks ffgriever for your fast response and for compile it!

Yes, now after push start in a game appears all the options including the new one: "Press SQUARE to select boot2".

Then pressing square you can navigate in all the boot2 paths included in the file "ps2rd.conf", but after choosing
the path i have edited: boot2= mc0/OPL/OPL.ELF, i push all the buttons for start the path, but don't happens nothing...

Is possible the option is not finished, or the option is still only for disks, or i'm making anything wrong...

Regards.
