Releases: Luden02/OrbitPS2-Manager
Release list
Release v1.3.1 - Rebranding!
🪐 New name, same mission
OrbitOPL Toolbox is now OrbitPS2 Manager! Same app, same goal — just a name and a look that fit better going forward.
- New app name, icon, and logo across the board.
- Windows/macOS executables are now
OrbitPS2Manager.exe/OrbitPS2Manager.app— if you're updating from an older build, grab the new files and delete the old ones. - Brand-new theme system: pick OrbitPS2 (Dark), OrbitPS2 (Light), OrbitPS2 (System) to follow your OS, or Legacy if you miss the previous look — all from Settings
✨ What's new
- You can now convert .zso back to .iso, and VCD files back to .bin/.cue (if for whatever reason you want to do that, you do you ;D)
- Refactored ISO ↔ ZSO conversion to run multithreaded, so batch conversions are noticeably faster
- PS1 imports now accept a .zip containing the
.cue+.bin(s) - Added RiptOPL/POPSLoader support for PS1 artwork
- Fixed PS1 homebrew naming so unrecognized titles get sensible auto-assigned names (#34)
- Fixed issue #38
🐛 Fixes
- The "Update Available" banner now correctly ignores Alpha/Beta/RC/Indev pre-releases, so you won't get nagged about test builds
v1.3.1-alpha.1
🎮 This is an alpha!
This version is an alpha and must be used only for testing, bug reports are appreciated!
[This version has been built only for Windows]

Changelog
v1.3.0
New Features
- Artwork Manager Wizard — new bulk artwork dialog with preset configurations for downloading/assigning game artwork across your library (by @Luden02)
- Skip existing artwork option in the bulk artwork wizard, so re-runs don't overwrite artwork you already have (by @Luden02)
- Custom title bar — native window controls (min/max/close) replaced with an in-app title bar, including Linux-specific window manager detection and behavior fixes (by @Luden02)
Improvements
- Title bar and window behavior fixes/adjustments for Linux systems by @PixeliGer in #32
- Major internal refactor of the Electron main process: monolithic
library.service.ts/main.ts/preload.tssplit into dedicatedipc/handlers andservices/modules (apps, artwork, delete, import, library, rename, settings, vmc, zso, window, etc.) for better maintainability, by @PixeliGer in #29
Chores
- Code formatting and unused import cleanup (by @PixeliGer)

v1.2.2
✨ What's New
This release adds a detail page for your games plus some important fixes for network shares and NAS setups. Thanks to everyone who reported issues and sent in code!
🎮 Game & App Details View
Click on any game or app in your library and you'll now get a dedicated details screen with all the relevant info in one place.
Right now the info is pulled from the .cfg but that needs to be handmade, cfg editor coming with phase 2!
Works for PS2 games, PS1 games, and apps alike.
Two layout options so you can view the details the way you prefer.
Huge thanks to German Emmanuel (@PixeliGer) who designed and built this whole feature in #25. 🙌
🐛 Fixes
Symlinked folders should work now! (NAS & network shares)
If your DVD, CD, or POPS folders were symlinks instead of real directories, OrbitOPL used to get confused and show nothing. This is common on NAS setups (like retronas) and SMB network shares. It now handles symlinked folders correctly, so your games show up like they should.
This bugfix needs more testing by someone who actually was a setup like this, thank you kindly!
Thanks to @heinzgruber (#11) and @zarprime (#20) for reporting these and helping track them down.
Faster library loading
Reading game info is now quicker, OrbitOPL no longer wastes time scanning the .cfg.bak backup files that OPL Manager leaves behind. (Also part of #25.)
Windows packaging fix
The Portable .exe file builder assumes you run the app on C: so it might not work for everyone.
We now offer 2 builds (Installer & Zip Portable).
⭐ Almost at 100 stars!
We're currently sitting at 78 stars on GitHub, which is honestly awesome for a project like this so thank you all so much!
We're now just 22 short of hitting 100, and it would mean the world to cross that line. If OrbitOPL Toolbox has made managing your PS2 collection even a little easier, please take a second to star the repo ⭐. It genuinely helps more people discover the project, and it keeps the motivation high for future updates. Let's get to 100 together! 🚀
🙏 Thanks to our contributors

v1.0.1 - hotfix
OrbitOPL v1.0.1
As the community slowly adopts OrbitOPL, I'm starting to receive all kinds of feedback and I want to make the experience as smooth as possible for everyone. So here's a quick patch, just 24 hours after v1.0.0. 🚀
✨ What's New
- Lower minimum window size — reduced from
1280×720to800×600to better accommodate sub-1080p screens. - Artwork jobs in the queue — artwork downloading and renaming now appear in the job queue.
🐛 Bug Fixes
- Directory parser crash on missing folders — previously, mounting a folder that was missing subfolders (e.g.
ART) would crash the parser and skip the game scan. Now, OrbitOPL will prompt you to either create the missing folders or unmount.
🙌 Special Thanks
Big thanks to everyone who shared feedback and helped me track down these issues:

🚀 Major v1.0.0 Release!
🚀 OrbitOPL Toolbox – v1.0.0: Stable Release
The first stable version of OrbitOPL Toolbox is here!
After months of development, testing, and community feedback, we’re thrilled to deliver a fully featured, cross-platform tool for managing your PS2 and PS1 game library with Open PS2 Loader (OPL).
✨ What’s New in v1.0.0
🎮 Full PS1 Support
Seamlessly import and convert PS1 BIN/CUE discs to POPS .VCD format for use with POPStarter on PS2.
Tested with USB, MX4SIO, and exFAT HDD (thanks to community feedback!).
💿 Advanced PS2 Disc Handling
Multi-track BIN/CUE import: Automatically merge multi-bin images into a single ISO.
Expanded file format support: Recognizes .ZSO (compressed ISO), .VCD (PS1/POPS), .UL (split-file), and .ISO.
📦 Library Management
Filesystem-based library view with artwork fetching.
Runtime filename correction: Illegal symbols are automatically fixed during import.
Improved UI/UX: Disabled action buttons during loading, tooltips for invalid files, and a dedicated About/Build Info page.
🐛 Bug Fixes & Stability
Resolved PS1 Import functionality (previously broken in v0.2.3-beta).
Fixed TypeScript build configuration and library service cleanups.
PS1 GameART display in OPL (addressed from v0.2.4-beta feedback).
🙏 Acknowledgments
A huge thank you to:
VizoR and the PS2 Scene/ConsoleMods.org Discord communities for bug reports and testing.
The r/ps2homebrew subreddit for their support.
Early adopters who provided feedback during the alpha/beta phases.
v0.2.4-beta (PS1 Hotfix)
Nothing new...
Just testing some fixes for the PS1 Import functionality.
🚀 OrbitOPL Toolbox – v0.2.3-beta (Bugfixing and PS1 Support)
Hello people!
I know, I know... a new patch this **quick? **
Well it happens that I make mistakes and it also happens that I have really useful users who point those mistakes to me. (Thanks VizoR)
What changed?
Well, the whole PS1 Import routine was busted and didn't actually work as intended when starting the game from OPL so I fixed it. (Wasn't actually working at all...)
I could test it only using a USB Stick and a MX4SIO memcard so If you are using an exfat hdd and it works please let me know (on discord).
What might not work?
Probably the PS1 GameART inside OPL, I know about that and I will fix it in the 0.2.4-beta that's coming in a couple days... (and maybe with other features)
If you have any other feedback or bugs you want to share feel free to open an issue here or contact me on Discord through the "PS2 Scene" or "ConsoleMods.org" Servers
