If that doesn't work then the drive itself is not compatible. You will have to try a different drive.

I'm using Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition. Did you run 01-Setup.sh first? That installs all the dependencies.

@@CosmicScaleFactor I did run the setup first and only tried to install dependencies manually as a response to script 3 errors. I'll try using cinnamon edition next time

Not directly from the PSBBN game channel, but you can launch OPL and use that feature there.

The whole point of the 2.0 patch is to support larger drives. The older HDD image should work. Are you using the official Sony Network Adapter? When using third-party HDD adapters, PSBBN freezes just as you described.

@ Actually I am trying to make it work on an SD card, as it’s very convenient to eject it from the extender and have 100MB/s write speed when installing games. Network or usb methods are just too slow in my experience. My setup is: Official HDD adapter->IDE to 2.5IDE->2.5 IDE to SD->flat cable extender to back of the console. All of my collection worked fine with OPL, Pops, SMS, and other homebrew.. When I boot into FMCB to troubleshoot, I can see all partitions created. I guess that PSBBN is a tough nut.. and will require me to mod my Sony Hdd adapter to sata+256GB SSD at the end..

Both zso and iso should work without any problems. Submit an issue of GitHub with the game-installer.log and I'll try to figure out what is going wrong.

@ definitely will. Thanks again homie.

@@CosmicScaleFactor log sent. thank you for the time.

That is just how the game installer works. It synchronises the games from the folders on your PC to the PS2 drive. If you remove games from the 'games' folder on your PC, they are also removed from the PS2 drive. If you add games to the 'games' folder on your PC, they are added to the PS2 drive. I know the current game sync method may not be ideal for everyone. I plan to implement a more flexible solution in the future. If the problem is a lack of HDD space on your PC, then there is a workaround for now: 1. Rename all your game files so their filenames start with the Game ID, then sync them. 2. Replace the game files on your PC with zero-size files that have identical names. 3. Add more games to the 'games' folder, then re-sync.

All clone adapters lack an Ethernet port, PSBBN simply won't boot without one. Hopefully a third-party will make a modern HDD adapter with network support in the future.

No chance of this working on PS3. This isn't a game launcher, it's a complete operating system.

@CosmicScaleFactor hmmmm i wish the community can figure smth out, i have a ps3 that can run linux and ps2 and ps3 games Is there like a container or using the ps2 compatibility to run that os, since it has all ps2's hardware functionality working on ps3 PSBBN can be a game changer for ps3 and ps2

@@AmbientMess I don't have a PSX to play with but it should be possible to access the online channels by modding a couple of files.

No. This is a complete replacement. You won't need FreeMCBoot anymore. The install formats your drive and you will have to install your games again, the new way.

@@SirotkaSlo No, however PS2 games can be compressed to zso

@@CosmicScaleFactor great, thank you!

I don't know for certain but I think it would work on the original BB unit with the HDD replaced with a SSD. It's definitely worth a try! As for the Test PS2, I have no idea.

@Thanks! Then I’ll try when I have time and report back to you

PS1 games still use POPS. The POPS emulator actually originates from PSBBN.

You can launch OPL by selecting one of the "Coming soon..." games in the Game Channel or using wLaunchELF. Afterward, adjust any OPL settings as usual. Note: To display the games in OPL, make sure to enable HDD under BDM Devices. I know the current game sync method may not be ideal for everyone. I plan to implement a more flexible solution in the future. In the meantime, here's a workaround: 1. Ensure all your game filenames start with the Game ID, then sync them. 2. Replace the game files on your PC with zero-size files that have identical names.

@@CosmicScaleFactor That worked. Thank you so much for all the amazing work you put into this.

Not possible, due to the way APA-Jail works. All partitions need to be created before running APA-Jail. Deleting or creating new partitions on your PS2 drive after setup will cause drive corruption.

@@CosmicScaleFactor im talking not about creating or deleting, so hdlgameinstaller (ps2 not pc client) let us inject boot.kelf and other necesary files to hdl partitions just like hdl dump. so im talking about to replace hdl dump with modded hdlgameinstaller which can detect PP. partitions and give us possibility to inject our custom kelfs and necessary res files for bbn. it will be usefull for less use pc for organize games. sorry for my bad english)

​@@multigamer798I'm not sure about being able to get that working directly on the PS2. It's definitely a feature that could be added to the game installer script in the future.

It's fun pushing the original hardware to its limits and getting it to do things that were previously impossible. If you want HD graphics and texture packs then go with an emulator, if you want to experience that games how they were intended and like to tinker then original hardware is the way to go.

@@CosmicScaleFactor thanks!!

A live distro does work, you just need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the line starting with `deb cdrom` before running 01-Setup.sh. There is a note on the readme. I'm planning to add a live distro check to the setup script soon that will automate this. EDIT: The Setup script has now been modified to work on live USBs without errors

@CosmicScaleFactor lol, my bad! 😝 what about the other details, like, force a specific language for a game without a selection screen?

@@sospyro I believe there's an option in OPL for that.

@@CosmicScaleFactor i also tried to install PSBBN with Xubuntu: everything is fine except for the artwork installation, the script says that maybe npm is not installed correctly, but if i try to install it manually it's already installed

@@sospyro seems like a problem isolated to Xubuntu. If you find a solution let me know.

PSBBN has its own "Save Data Management" feature that allows you to manage your save files on memory cards and backup them up to the HDD.

That is the actual background music from the PlayStation Now! channel.

@@CosmicScaleFactor ah thank you!!

I've got a Retro GEM HDMI mod. They're pricey and difficult to install but I'd highly recommend them.

@@kristopheralonge2813 before releasing this update I was working on a lot of game id projects for the Retro GEM. I'll be adding Retro GEM game id support to this project soon. If I can get my hands on a MemCard Pro 2 then I'll definitely add support, I really want one but they're always out of stock!

@@CosmicScaleFactor They are currently available to preorder on StoneAgeGamer and they ship this month!

@@huko_k1 Thanks, I never expected this project to get so much attention. I would love to see it working on third-party adapters but I'm not sure if it would actually be possible. Definitely needs investigating.

Submit your log files on GitHub and I'll take a look.

Unfortunately not, it requires an internal drive.

Are you running Linux from a live USB? If so you must edit /etc/apt/sources.list to remove the line starting with `deb cdrom` before running 01-Setup.sh.

@@CosmicScaleFactor reinstll mint os on hd full and try again same problem pakage failed after 95%

@@Ifzal-t2b What is failing exactly?

hi thanks i try what you said and done 1 step now stuck on 2nd step it says can not download psbbn image and aborting...thanks for first reply

@@Ifzal-t2b Probably an issue with the Internet Archive. You can try downloading `psbbn-definitive-image-v2.0.gz` from here archive.org/download/psbbn-definitive-english-patch-v2 Put the file in the `assets` folder, make sure to delete any `.st` files in that folder. Run the script again, it will then skip the download.

Yes thank you donations are a have to! This is very great news! Thank you so much! ​@@CosmicScaleFactor

All clone adapters lack an Ethernet port, PSBBN simply won't boot without one. Hopefully a third-party will make a modern HDD adapter with network support in the future.

Somebody else asked about WSL. If you have Windows 11 (Windows 10 definitely won't work) and your PS2 drive connected directly to the motherboard and not via USB then maybe. I don't have access to Windows 11 so can't try it myself. If you want to give it a try have a look at this article to help get the disk mounted. Let me know if you're successful learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-mount-disk It would only cause problems if you had an external iLink HDD connected. PSBBN tries to boot games from the first BDM device it finds. If you've got other devices connected it might try to load the game from there, rather than the internal drive.

It requires an internal HDD. It's technically possible on a slim SCPH-7000x console but it takes a very difficult hardware mod macho-nacho.com/news/the-ide-resurrector-mod-makes-the-ps2-slim-superior-to-phat/

Compatibility should be better than Grimdoomer's fork, this is based on a very current version of OPL. All features from the fork included with this project will be heading to the official version of OPL soon! 700 games is the max number of games that can be displayed in the PSBBN Game Channel. You could continue to add games beyond that and they will show up in OPL only.

@CosmicScaleFactor Oh I see, thank you very much for answering and for your hard work at making the program!

Does the official build of OPL support it now or does it still require a custom build? If it works on the latest official build then it will work here. I don't have a MemCard PRO2 for testing, I'm hoping to get one when they restock, if game id doesn't work I'll definitely be adding it! I'll be adding Game ID for the Retro GEM soon.

@@CosmicScaleFactor I think it requires a specific build thats listed on 8-bit Mod's site

Thanks! I've been following your work. Your Python list builder script was very helpful, in the project it's being used for PS2 games and PS1 games. I've credited you on my GitHub. Neutrino is definitely a possibility in the future, unfortunately right now it doesn't support exFAT on internal drives. EDIT: What??? Neutrino does support exFAT on internal drives! Definitely something to look into in the future.

@@CosmicScaleFactor That's awesome. Glad to see my work contributing to other projects. Let me know if you if you have questions about something I've worked on or if there's anything you think I could help with.

Account details are in the readme on GitHub. The root password for Linux is password. There is also a ps2 user account with the password set as password. Type `startx` to launch the GUI.

@@CosmicScaleFactor I attempted the username ps2 and password as password and i get a message saying “ the system is going down on (current date and time) Power Failure; system shutting down Login incorrect Login:” I presume I should note this in my submission on GitHub?

The filename used for games do not matter. This sounds more like a permissions issue to me. Submit the log file on GitHub and I'll take a look.

@@CosmicScaleFactor log file sent. in the mean time, I'll create a linux mint media and try again on that instead of ubuntu. I'll post back if thats solves my problems or not.

I'm not sure what could be causing that issue. If you can submit the log file on GitHub I'll take a look. As for games not appearing int OPL, you need to change the settings. For `BDM Devices` turn on `HDD`.

It's possible to do, I just want to keep things working as close to the original Japanese software.

Awesome, question, how does saving work? For some reason my PS2 still looks good memory cards in slot one. Is there another step I'm missing for it to save to the HDD?@@CosmicScaleFactor

@@Nickachuuu Personally I'd recommend still using a memory card but you can set up Virtual Memory Cards in OPL if you want to. PSBBN has a "Save Data Management" system that lets you easily backup save files to your internal drive, they just need to be copied back to a memory card to be used with a game.

@@CosmicScaleFactor thank you for the swift response. You're awesome!
