Open PS2 Loader v0.9.2 released
Huge update by devs SP193 & Bat Rastard.
The new version features a merged OPL/OPLGSM codebase, power-off processing code, new GUI options, and more!
Open PS2 Loader is an Open source game loader compatible with the USB Advance/Extreme game format and with the plain ISO format.
It can load games through USB, network (SMB) or from the PS2's HDD unit, and it's compatible with all PlayStation 2 models, and the PlayStation 3 models with PS2 backward compatibility.
v0.9.2 has been released. Here's the huge changelog:
Version 0.9.2
rev672
CORE:
• Merged OPL/OPLGSM codebase
• GSM Core 0.36.R - don't worry; 0.38 will be coming back better than ever!
• GSM Core no longer supports 576p, 1080p, Skip FMVs - this is temporary.
• GSM Core is now IGR and CodeBreaker/PS2rd compatible! (See Note 1)
• GSM no longer included in Childproof builds.
• Unified Makefile builds from single source tree via "GSM=0/1" argument (ala VMC/No VMC)
• Protokernel support now part of PS2SDK toolchain
• The integrated LibFreeType was removed, upgraded, and moved into the PS2SDK
• Upgraded LIBPNG, ATAD, HDPro, and DEV9 Module Code
• Added power-off processing code for older games - they should power off console now.
• Optimzed CDVDMAN and CDVDFSV
• Support for PSX DESR-5x00 and 7x00 units
• Built-in TLB reinitialization mechanism - no more EECORE hooking and patching.
• Modified Mode 7 to "IOP Threading Hack"
• Replaced SMAP driver
• Modified SMSTCPIP
• Ported a version of ETH Mode types from doctorxyz's OPLGSM
GUI:
• New "Show GSM on Main Menu" toggle in "Settings" (GSM Builds Only)
• New "GSM Settings" on Main Menu - easier navigation! (GSM Builds Only)
• Fixed issue with HDLSERV and GSM Settings not showing up immediately.
• Full Ethernet controls - can disable Auto-Negotiation and force a mode.
• Some things were are worded differently as less words carry more freight.
• Removed redundant UDMA modes - PS2 will never handle UDMA 5 and UDMA 6.
• Updated SMB support to give better error messages.
• Network error codes changed slightly - 300 for connection errors, 301 for logon errors, 302 for ECHO isalive test failing, and 303 for share opening errors.
COMPATIBILITY:
• Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix (Gummi Fix)
• Baldur's Gate Series (HDD)
• Champions of Norrath (HDD)
• New Mode 7 fixes stuttering with games such as DDR and Pop'N Music (HDD ONLY!)
NOTE 1 - An IGR from OPLGSM to OPL (and vice versa) has produced BSODs in our initial tests. We're looking into this quirk. In the mean time, consider power-cycling the PS2 before switching between GSM and non-GSM builds, or populate your IGR Path specifically with a GSM-build - our tests show when GSM is enabled and still resident, an IGR directly to a GSM-build rarely produces the BSOD (likewise with Vanilla OPL IGR'ing directly to Vanilla OPL) ...
