Thank you! I posted it for everyone to use, its on PSX-PLACE. I run sata hdds with gamestar adapters, my set up is just a formatted 2048mb +OPL partition on the hdd. I added my CFG and ART files to those folders OPL makes inside I was recently told taking the time to convert the bg images to 8 bit png will save loading times. Mine are jpg from the OPL manager program last year, the blank info pages I do not have CFG files for. Loads up in a snap, I cleaned the code and files up compared to earlier versions the mastermix and remix but kept the static files the exact same When you have your hdd formatted for ps2 connect it to your ps2 and launch OPL start the hdd device and then exit OPL. You will need to add the uLE isr hdd elf to your fmcb browser. This elf has a hdd manager program which allows you to delete the default OPL partition and now remake (+OPL) it large enough for your themes with songs and add your artwork files, the cfg files are small. 2048mb is plenty, relaunch opl start the hdd. Exit OPL add the ART folder files to it and the CFG folder files too. Add your thm_examples to the THM folder. Thats my setup You could alternatively set up samba using ethernet or use the hdd common folder outside of the default +OPL partition. There are options but I am unaware if there has been an analysis of them. All my games are on hdd, I have only the ART files from the OPL Manager program scanning my pc library/ps2 sata hdd, the CFG files I had dumped in afterwards and have missing metadata because I had to make my own batch from US CFG files
Great, nice work!
How to achieve those amazing loading speeds?
Any advice on formats and compression methods?
