.This thread is dedicated to the NOOB in all of us. Regardless of whom you are, and what you know. There is still always something in which you are still a noob. Basically, I just wanted to give something back.

To make this section of the Scene as noob-friendly as possible.Come one, come all. If you dont know where to ask a question, then ask it here. Ill do my best to point you in the right direction. I dont even care if its about a topic that Im covering. Ask silly questions. Crack a joke.

Download without Likes (the Super-Villain name Leech-Man isnt taken yet lol). So just have a good time Hopefully you will learn something new in the process. Lets bring some new energy to the Scene! You are a part of the best community around arent you?

RECENT ACTIVITIES: Over the past several weeks, I have been involved in some pretty interesting projects.Everything from ColemPS2 2.0 (debugging, alpha/beta testing) to CDgenPS2 (guides and how-to manuals) to Jum52 (Im learning alot quicker than I thought) to OpenBOR PS2 compatibility (13 fully functional so far out of 29) to UltraISO (remastering) lol. Im totally all over the place, but I think I can start sharing all this knowledge with you.

Someone recently told me, that it was us non-devs that always seem to produce the detailed manuals and guides around here. Well, I know how to type, and Im not afraid to use it lmao. Currently, I have eleven main projects that Im in the middle of. If you include the OPL 0.9.3 (specifically) compatibility with everything from PS1 and PS2 games, to Elf-ISO-OPL-porting, to forgotten homebrew Im trying to bring back to life, individually, that number would be well past 60 right now. I havent gotten much rest lately, but I am making progress in some areas that I didnt know I was capable.

Id like to make this thread chock full of the best I can come up with, and I plan on filling it as projects complete. If there is anything you think should be added here, please feel free to post it up, or link me, and Ill do what I can. PSX-SCENE Members Whom Have Personally Helped Me ----- @ (For all the inspiration! I think Ive learned more new things in the past month than in the past few years. I really appreciate you letting me be a part of the Colem restoration project. It was like a dream. I wanted a new Colem for ages and you totally made it possible.

Never will I forget it! Thanks for all of your help!) @ (For there never being a better person to have on your side, especially when youre trying to solve a problem that even google doesnt want to acknowledge. I dont know where you get your research skills, but damn!

Youve got some good determination, and a strong willingness to help that is always appreciated.Thank you for everything!) @ (For all the times I blow up your inbox with dozens of questions at 4 in the morning. Sorry I dont know when to shut up sometimes lol.

I appreciate what you do because Ive been in your shoes on another site for several years. I know its a thankless position and people act like its your job. Thank you for all the knowledge, help, and support you have given me, and also for simply being you!) @ (For all the effort and time you invest on our beloved site, especially when youre overseeing several other sites and projects as well. Keep up the great work! I appreciate you liking some of my projects enough to publish them. Thanks again for everything!) @ (For all the help with the restructuring of my theme, and excellent feedback. I still use the workaround you came up with for playing certain old emulators from the OPL APPS menu.

Sorry if I bugged you too much with all the randomness of projects I seem to get myself into. As anyone else that I talk to will tell you, its the one thing in which Im a pro. Thanks for being always willing to lend a hand, or a whole arm sometimes!) @ (For all the questions Ive asked of you, even in just the past few months. I cant think of a single question that you didnt give me the most competent response I could have hoped for. Much knowledge. Im sorry I dont absorb it all as quick as I hear it, but Im a hands on type when it comes to learning. Thanks for always being there with the right information at the right time!) Feeling left out???

If you feel your name should be listed anywhere in this thread, but I just simply havent added it yet. Or, if being discreet is your thing, drop my inbox a PM and it shall be done. Code: ===== RENAMING AN ELF FOR COMPATIBILITY WITH OPL ===== To get your ISO to appear in OPL, youll need to rename your ELF as 'SLUS_123.45' (OR similar). (pretty much anything using the below format): CODE: 4 Letters/Numbers _ 3 Letters/Numbers. 2 Letters/Numbers (NO SPACES ANYWHERE IN NAME) To RECAP. Basically its a 432 count, seperated by '_' and then '.'

EXAMPLES: ABCD_123.45, 1234_ABC.DE, A1B2_C3D.4E, 1234_567.89, ABCD_EFG.HI, WHAT_THE.FU, UCIT_000.00.Im sure you get the idea by now. Do NOT forget to remove the '.ELF' extension. Ive Done This. Lol) The two letters or numbers at the end of the ELFname (whatever you put after the '.'

), are now your new extension. (your computer may give you warnings while changing extensions, but dont be so paranoid, its only the name and can be changed back if you mess up) Did you Laugh Out Loud when you read 'WHAT_THE.FU'? I know I did lol.

FINAL NOTE: The OPL game format and ELF NAMING issues come up time and again in the forums. It has tripped me up before, and still trips others up as well. I thought it might be worthwhile to mention that the 'White OPL Debug Screen' usually points to this labeling error. (either with the ELF itself, or matching it with the SYSTEM.CNF file -please use copy/paste when matching these two together) -----Enjoy!

Modules (such as SJPCM.IRX + CDVD.IRX). Just in case. (they will probably come with whatever youre trying to image if needed) 5. Time- A fifteen minute learning curve the first time. (after that, it shouldnt even take two minutes) -----Steps: 1. 'CREATE' a NEW folder and name it 'uCit'. (this will be your MAIN folder for now, which everything goes in, when youre done with it) 2.

'CREATE' a NEW folder and name it 'ROMS'. (resize its-window to the left-half of your screen) 3. 'NAVIGATE' to where you have your 'games' stored.

'MOVE' the ELF to the 'uCit' folder. (since you are now done with it) 10. 'CREATE' a NEW 'TEXT' file and 'SAVE' it as 'SYSTEM.CNF'. (with Notepad, OR pretty much ANY Text Editor) 11. 'COPY/PASTE' the following '3-LINES-of-code' (TEXT ONLY) into 'SYSTEM.CNF' and 'SAVE' it again. (which will direct OPL where to BOOT and what to DISPLAY): -----CODE: ------------------------------------------------------ BOOT2 = cdrom0: UCIT_000.00;1 VER = 1.13 VMODE = NTSC ------------------------------------------------------ 12. 'MOVE' the 'SYSTEM.CNF' file to the 'uCit' folder.

(resize folder-window to the right-half of your screen) 16. 'OPEN' up 'CDgenPS2'. (resize its-window to the left-half of your screen) 17. 'HIGHLIGHT' ALL the files in the 'uCit' folder. (OR Select-All with 'CTRL + A') 18. 'DRAG+DROP' the 'SYSTEM.CNF' file into CDgenPS2, while holding-down the Left-Mouse-Button. (it should drag EVERY highlighted file with it, IF NOT RETURN TO STEP 14) 19.

Click on 'IMG' in the CDgenPS2 window. (left-side of window) 20. Type the filename as 'uCit' in the box that appears. (then press 'TAB' key on keyboard) 21.

Press the 'DOWN ARROW' key on keyboard, TWO TIMES. (OR until the 'SAVE AS TYPE' box displays 'ISO') 22.

Press the 'ENTER' key on keyboard, TWO TIMES. (WAIT for it to finish, and display 'BOAT ARRIVED AT PORT') 23. Press the 'ENTER' key on keyboard. (since you are now done with it) 24. 'CLOSE' CDgenPS2. (RED 'X' Tab, in upper-right corner of its-window) 25. 'COPY' the 'uCit ISO' into the 'uCit' folder.

(the 'uCit' folder is now a COMPLETE BACKUP of everything you did/learned here) 26. 'CLOSE' the 'uCit' folder. (RED 'X' Tab, in upper-right corner of its-window) 27. 'TRANSFER' your ISO to the PS2.

(with whatever method you normally would) 28. 'BOOT' OPL, and Launch your ISO from whatever menu corresponds to your device. (ISO goes in 'CD' folder on ROOT of USB.

However, if youre using one of my ISOs, there is a few more steps to get all the pre-set settings and coverart/backgrounds, that I will usually include. -----Extra Steps: 10. 'MOVE' the CONTENTS, of ALL folders in the zip, to where its!FOLDERNAME! (ONLY the CONTENTS, of these special directing folders, NOT any!FOLDER ITSELF!) 11. 'BOOT' OPL, and Launch your ISO from whatever menu corresponds to your device.

(ISO goes in 'CD' folder on ROOT of USB. OR treat as a PS2 game if used in IHD) NOTE: This version CAN be booted from USB, or IHD. The only difference between the two versions, is the settings.CFG file which will direct the PS2 where to save your games. The HDD version will save to the internal hard drive (IHD), and the USB version will save to the memory card. -UniqueUserName @ PSX-SCENE.COM @ PSX-PLACE.COM.

Code: ========== ADDING YOUR GAMES TO MAME ISO, TO PLAY IT WITH OPL IN 2016 ========== This OPL-PORT ISO may seem a little tricky at first, and for good reason. It IS the most complicated of all my ISOs to set up. (luckily, I have several tricks for you, that will speed up the process, AND do most of the work for you too.) DONT skip ANY steps. AND read this whole guide. Or else, you WILL most likely end up with a blue border upon boot.

(blue border indicates you have to start over. So hang onto the zip there, Lucky) There is no forum help I know of, that can talk you through a blue border incident. (basically, it means you skipped something, and couldve corrupted the whole filesystem. Games, elf binary, and all) Yeah, worse than a black screen of death. ------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT: All MAME games MUST be MAME-version '37b16', in order to be compatible with the PS2. (NO EXCEPTIONS!) All MAME games MUST be in seperate, individual, zipped folders. (inside the ROMS folder) (NO EXCEPTIONS!) All MAME games MUST be named in a DOS 8.3 format.

(which mean they canNOT be more than 8 characters in name-length. (NO EXCEPTIONS! However I have been looking into a workaround to this) There is a Plea for help on this subject, at the bottom of this guide. All MAME games MUST be matched EXACTLY the same with your 'gamelist.TXT'. (and are completely case-sensitive. Or else, hello blue border;).

So Ive come up with an easy method to get you through all of this, and I will list it here for you. (for getting it right the first time, if you can follow these simple instructions step by step) ------------------------------------------------------------- -----Things you will need: 1.

OPL v0.9.3 (and a way to run it), PS2, and a Computer. My MAME OPL-PORT ISO. (pre-set-up port for OPL) 3. (you must ALWAYS supply your own Games) 4.

(an invaluable program you should have anyways) 5. Bulk Rename Utility.

(it can remove extensions from an entire folder in mere seconds) 6. Directory Lister. (it creates a list of a folders contents, with filenames only (and.TXT) options) 7.

Time- A twenty minute learning curve the first time. (after that, it shouldnt even take five minutes) ------------------------------------------------------------- With the setup Im about to explain to you, your limit of games per ISO will be capped at 200. (so dont try to add any extras. You shouldnt have that many anyways, unless you own an arcade) Getting Started: -----Steps: 1- 'GATHER' all your games into a single folder.

(individually ZIPPED folders) 2- 'OPEN' Bulk Rename Utility, and navigate to your games folder. (press 'CTRL + A', when you see the before/after window viewing your games) 3- Click the 'DOWN-ARROW' next to the word 'SAME'.

(extension-11, in the bottom-righthand-corner) 4- Click 'REMOVE', in the list that pops up. (then click the BIG button in the corner, 'RENAME') 5- Click the 'DOWN-ARROW' next to the word 'SAME'. (case-4, in the lower-middle-left area) 6- Click 'UPPER', in the list that pops up. (then click the BIG button in the corner, 'RENAME') NOTE: At this point in your games folder, there should be no '.ZIP' extensions, and all gamenames should be 'UPPERCASE'.

7- 'CLOSE' Bulk Rename Utility. (RED 'X' Tab, in upper-right corner of its-window) 8- 'OPEN' Directory Lister, and click the 'SELECT' tab. (type 'gamelist' into the 'filename' box, and click the 'OPEN' tab) 9- 'NAVIGATE' into the folder where you can see your games. (check '.TXT', 'OPEN FILE', and 'JUST FILENAMES', at top of screen middle-left side) 10- Click the 'GO' tab, and wait for 'gamelist.txt' file to open.

(hold DELETE for roughly 11 lines, or until your 1st game takes up the WHOLE first line) 11- 'SAVE' it to the desktop (make sure its 'gamelist.txt'). (check to see if it looks THE SAME as my example gamelist) NOTE: at this point in the gamelist, all your gamenames should be 8 characters or less in length. Also, there should be no space between your games and the top.AND 1 extra seemingly blank line at the bottom. (if so SAVE it, DELETE mine, then MOVE yours to where mine was) 12- 'CLOSE' Directory Lister. (RED 'X' Tab, in upper-right corner of its-window) 13- 'OPEN' Bulk Rename Utility, and navigate to your games folder. (press 'CTRL + A', when you see the before/after window viewing your games) 14- Click inside the 'WHILE BOX' next to the word 'SAME' (right-side). (extension-11, in the bottom-righthand-corner) 15- 'TYPE' the word 'ZIP' in the 'WHITE BOX'.

(then click the BIG button in the corner, 'RENAME') 16- 'CLOSE' Bulk Rename Utility. (RED 'X' Tab, in upper-right corner of its-window) NOTE: The hard part is now over.

At this point in your games folder, your extensions should all be back to '.ZIP' as they were originally. (or atleast, the most time consuming part, if done manually, which is also the easiest part, to screw up lol) The home stretch. You should already know the rest of these steps. But do them while reading anyways! -----More Steps: 1. 'OPEN' the ISO with 'UltraISO'. (resize its-window to the left-half of your screen) 2.

'DRAG+DROP' your 'GAMELIST' into the ROOT of the ISO. (where the 'SYSTEM.CNF' file is located!) (while holding-down the Left-Mouse-Button) 3. 'DOUBLE-CLICK' the 'ROMS' folder inside the ISO.

(to open up ROMS folder for the addition of games) 4. 'NAVIGATE' to where you have your 'games' stored.

(resize folder-window to the right-half of your screen) 5. 'HIGHLIGHT' the games you would like to 'add'. (OR Select-All with 'CTRL + A') 6. 'DRAG+DROP' your games into the ROMS folder. (while holding-down the Left-Mouse-Button) 7. Click 'FILES' Tab >'Properties', make sure 'UDF' + 'ISO9660' are checked.

(in UltraISO obviously. Setting it as default, ONLY defaults for each ISO individually) 8. (OR press 'ENTER') 9. 'CLOSE' UltraISO. (RED 'X' Tab, in upper-right corner of its-window) 10. Click 'YES', when the 'Save-Changed-File' box appears.

(OR press 'ENTER') 11. 'MOVE' the CONTENTS, of ALL folders in the zip, to where its!FOLDERNAME! (ONLY the CONTENTS, of these special directing folders, NOT any!FOLDER ITSELF!) 12. 'BOOT' OPL, and Launch your ISO from whatever menu corresponds to your device. (ISO goes in 'CD' folder on ROOT of USB. OR treat as a PS2 game if used in IHD) FINAL NOTE: I know this guide was longer than the average, BUT only another 27 steps and we will be close to being done here. No seriously, its over already lmao, but you wanted to learn to use the most difficult (and most misunderstood) emulator Ive ever come across on the PS2.

You came, you saw, you conquered! If you were capable of following all those steps (with my noob-friendly commentary along the way), then you shouldve had no problem booting the ISO on the first shot, and can now see your gamelist in the emulator. If you thought all that was overly difficult, there is something you should know. I just typed this whole document from memory. While in a truck, and stuck in traffic lol. If anyone, anywhere, has any ideas, about how to bypass the DOS 8.3 naming scheme, for this emulator.

Please contact -UniqueUserName @ either PSX-SCENE.COM or PSX-PLACE.COM. It is the only one that I havent been able to figure out a workaround for yet. No source nor author are available. Calling ALL Devs.

Please fix MAME! Okay, well Ive got to get back to driving now, so stop reading this already, and go enjoy the games you just worked so hard for. -UniqueUserName @ PSX-SCENE.COM @ PSX-PLACE.COM. Code: ========== ADDING YOUR GAMES TO SUPER NINTENDO ISO, TO PLAY IT WITH OPL IN 2016 ========== This OPL-PORT ISO may seem a little tricky at first, but its actually the easiest one to set up, and start playing.

It WILL boot, and run fine, from USB (mass) or IHD (internal hard drive). HOWEVER, you canNOT store your games in the ISO, like with most other ports.

-----STEPS: 1. Add your games to the 'ROMS' folder inside the '!Anywhere on USB or IHD!' (I prefer PC or uLaunchElf respectively for transfer methods). 'MOVE' the CONTENTS, of ALL folders in the zip, to where its!FOLDERNAME! (ONLY the CONTENTS, of these special directing folders, NOT any!FOLDER ITSELF!) 3. 'BOOT' OPL, and Launch your ISO from whatever menu corresponds to your device.

(ISO goes in 'CD' folder on ROOT of USB. OR treat as a PS2 game if used in IHD) 4. After the Emulator loads. (NAVIGATE to where your games are stored) -----Enjoy! NOTE: This Emulator will usually freeze in Options Menu. (when changing Display Settings or exiting the Options Menu) Edit the 'INI' config file manually with 'Notepad', if my settings arent to your liking. -UniqueUserName @ PSX-SCENE.COM @ PSX-PLACE.COM.

Code: ========== ADDING YOUR OpenBOR GAME-PAK TO THE ISO, TO PLAY IT WITH OPL IN 2016 ========== NOTE: These instructions only apply to the OpenBOR zips found here. -----Things you will need: 1. OPL v0.9.3 (and a way to run it), PS2, and a Computer. Any of my 'BOR' ISOs. (pre-set-up ports for OPL) 3. Games (an 'OpenBOR' game, renamed as 'bor.pak'.

ONLY-One Per-ISO). (you must ALWAYS supply your own Game-Pak) 4. (an invaluable program you should have anyways) 5. Time- A few minute learning curve the first time. (after that, it shouldnt even take a whole minute) -----Steps: 1. 'OPEN' the ISO with 'UltraISO'.

(resize its-window to the left-half of your screen) 2. 'NAVIGATE' to where you have your 'games' stored. (resize folder-window to the right-half of your screen) 3. 'RENAME' the game you would like to ADD, as 'bor.pak'. (LOWERCASE, it most likely matters) 4.

'HIGHLIGHT' the RENAMED game you would like to 'add'. (to prepare for copying it to the ISO) 5. 'DRAG+DROP' your game into the ROOT of the ISO. (while holding-down the Left-Mouse-Button) 6. Click 'FILES' Tab >'Properties', make sure 'UDF' + 'ISO9660' are checked. (in UltraISO obviously. Setting it as default, ONLY defaults for each ISO individually) 7.

(OR press 'ENTER') 8. 'Close' UltraISO. (RED 'X' Tab, in upper-right corner of its-window) 9. Click 'YES', when the 'Save-Changed-File' box appears.

(OR press 'ENTER') 10. 'MOVE' the CONTENTS, of ALL folders in the zip, to where its!FOLDERNAME!

(ONLY the CONTENTS of the folder, NOT any!FOLDER ITSELF!) 11. 'BOOT' OPL, and Launch your game from whatever menu corresponds to your device. (ISO goes in 'CD' folder on ROOT of USB.
