Open-PS2-Loader VS hdl-dump

Always latest OPL: https://github.com/ps2homebrew/Open-PS2-Loader/releases/download/latest/OPNPS2LD.7z

You've probably read it already, but here's the Open PS2 Loader Read-Me document.

Apparently the problem is still going on according to this github issue report the difference is that report is from SMB.

Can you test it with this OPL version here?. I found it on github and this supposedly fixes things that plagued OPL on 7500x slims and up.

Funny, I just saw similar report on OPL's github about this problem the difference is that report is using PADEMU instead of adapters.

OPL-DB (Daily Builds) is unofficial and outdated. It's best to use the official OPL Builds for the best compatibility. Unofficial builds like OPL-DB tend to introduce certain issues and compatibility problems not found in the official builds.

Replace it with the official latest builds of OPL instead.

Specifically, the problem was hdl_dump (HDL.EXE) that bundled with HDL Batch Installer broke the installation of DVD-9 games (I'm the one who reported it on github). You can keep using HDL Batch Installer by replacing the HDL.EXE with this build.

Note: for HDL Batch Installer, you might want to replace the bundled HDL.EXE with this build. Reasons the latest build of hdl_dump that tool bundles is broke the DVD-9 games.

You don't have to split the ISO. hdl_dump install those 4GB+ iso's just fine, even the dual layer ones (But make sure you are using this build though for that. There are bugs with latest build of hdl_dump that broke the installation of dual layer games).

Don't use WinHIIP, it's outdated. Use HDL Batch Installer instead. But, replace the bundled HDL.EXE with this one: https://github.com/ps2homebrew/hdl-dump/releases/tag/v47 (Extract, rename hdl_dump.exe to HDL.EXE then overwrite the ones bundled with HDLBI).

Try to replace the HDL.EXE used by the latest HDL Batch Installer with the rev47 one here then reinstall your game (Download it then extract it then rename the hdl_dump.exe to HDL.EXE then overwrite the one bundled with HDL Batch Installer). From my observation it seems that latest build of hdl_dump (HDL.EXE) broke the installation of DVD9 games. I've already make a report about it here.
