FreeMcBoot Configurator not able to read mass storage device #6

Closed RoboMWM closed 1 week ago

RoboMWM commented 1 week ago

I installed this to FreeMcBoot, via using LaunchELF to copy the SYS-CONF directory (from READY_TO_USE/FreeMcBoot) to the memory card's SYS-CONF.

FreeMcBoot no longer freezes with an exFAT-formatted USB drive.

However, not only is OPL v1.2 is still unable to see my games, but on my other USB drive (that still has fat32) that has OPL v1.0 - OPL v1.0 does not launch and is stuck at a black screen instead.

Additionally, FreeMcBoot Configurator shows a fat32-formatted USB flash drive as blank.

as expected

However, not only is OPL v1.2 is still unable to see my games, not BDMAssault fault/responsibility. OPL uses it's own usb driver

but on my other USB drive (that still has fat32) that has OPL v1.0 - OPL v1.0 does not launch and is stuck at a black screen instead.

most likely not BDMAssault fault/responsibility

Additionally, FreeMcBoot Configurator shows the mass storage as blank. that's a problem....

Just tested again, and now it works with both regular FreeMcBoot and BDMAssault-modified FreeMcBoot, so not sure what happened there.

Ah ok, good to know - I've been spending several hours these past couple days trying to figure out all this information that's spread out amongst various forum posts, github issues, repos, and wikis lol.

Just tested this with vanilla FreeMcBoot, and FreeMcBoot Configurator is able to see the fat32 flash drive. Only BDMAssault-modified FreeMcBoot causes FreeMcBoot Configurator to not see anything on the fat32 flash drive.

(If it helps, I can close this issue and open another for just this, since I now know that these issues are separate.)

well. this is most likely the new usb drivers not liking your USB. else, it should not fail on OPL too

Yea, I figured that might be it. However, this seems to 'fix' the issue: https://github.com/ps2homebrew/Open-PS2-Loader/issues/1311#issuecomment-2327445583 and now the USB can be seen in FreeMcBoot Configurator!
