One Thing please:

After the NBD Driver Installation -
It is still showing the Windows Test Mode after I had re-booted/shutdown the PC.

View attachment 298574


Can be disabled with the Command Prompt (as Admin) and this Line:

bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF
Normally after the installation of the drivers it deactivates the test mode automatically

strange that he didn't turn it off for you

Maybe the command is different on windows 11 I will watch

This seems like a nice tool! I'm starting from square 1 in my attempts to mod my phat PS2. So seems like I should follow the GItHub directions for installing FreeHDBoot, then once that is done. Pull the drive, use the tool to transfer PS2 games. (I had no idea you could copy PS1 games and play them from a PS2, I thought you had to use physical media for PS1 games).

Then, once that is done, I was planning to use this tool: https://www.psx-place.com/resources/softdev2.1189/ to set it up so my PS2 automatically boots to OPL.

Would that work? Sorry if a dumb question...trying to figure this stuff out as I read.

Hey, Thanks!

Keep in mind that running PS1 games is an emulation, the script just helps to install the games easier.
do a search on POPStarter to find out more

Yes, the tools you mentioned will help you get started directly on OPL

Ok, the script: !PFS-BatchKit-Manager.bat did not work.


Micky

It's a problem of your computer I can't know exactly the problem, try to run it manually as administrator or try it on another

computer or in a virtual machine

I test it with:

Windows Vista: 32 Bit
Windows 7: 32 Bit
Windows 8.1: 32 Bit

I think Windows Vista did not really work with the kit.

Best working version from Pfs-Batchkit-Manager is V 1.0.3 with Windows 7.

I always start the !PFS-BatchKit-Manager.bat as Administrator.

In most of the cases the !PFS-BatchKit-Manager.bat opens a windows but close it in a short time.

In some versions I got the message: Diagbox.exe is not compatibel with the Windows version. v1.1.0 with Windows 7.

v1.1.1: !PFS-BatchKit-Manager.bat opens a windows but close it in a short time.

Did you ever test it with other then Windows 10?

I have my PS2 bin/cue/iso files on an external HDD. I want to transfer games to my HDD as ZSO using either NBD or UDPBD, whatever official OPL can support.

Do I need to copy the games into the PFS Batchkit Manager folder first? (Or Batchkit to the HDD and reorganize)
Is there anything I should do afterward to scrape artwork, config files, cheats, etc.?
