PS1/2 OPL- Error game is fragmented

VincentBeasley · Oct 1, 2016

I'm using Open PS2 Loader 0.9.3. I've tried defraging the drive and the game itself and it still says its fragmented. A few games work fine but others don't. Any advice? (I'm using PowerDefragmenter_3.0 btw)

Use Auslogics Disk Defrag instead.

I've used it before and it still doesn't work. I've tried defraggler as well

Ok. When you say "it still says its fragmented", who is "it" ? Warning message from OPL itself before you launch your game, or the defragmenter you used ?

If it's from the defragmenter, then in OPL, turn Check USB fragmentation ON [Settings screen]. If OPL doesnt warn you, it's not a fragmentation issue, but maybe a compatibility issue (you can check OPL compatibility list here : http://sx.sytes.net/oplcl/games.aspx).

BTW, which format did you use ? USBExtreme (ul.xxx) or .iso ?

This may be a silly question but are you using an external hard drive? Or are you using a USB flash drive (including SDD)? The former can be defragmented but the latter should never be defragmented. In the latter case your best bet is to copy the contents onto a different drive and then copy everything back.

When OPL show that message there are 2 options i use to "solve it"

1. In the opl settings set check usb game fragmentation to off.
or
2. If you are getting the same message but with the VMC then you should format the drive and copy all the data again. (this should fix the problem with the games too.

this happens more often when you copy some files to the drive and then delete some of the files, the new files you copy show the message of fragmented.

In the case of external hard drive with more than 1 partition on it, some users says that they can't create VMC without getting this error.
