[ISSUE]: USB only seen in v1.2.0-beta-1979; not found in v1.1.0, nor v1.2.0-beta-1981 and later #1311
Comments
What did you change it to? |
IIRC it was hdd but currently its usb-zip and it works |
WOW, that works! (USB drive was in FDD, I converted to USB-ZIP.) What in the world does that do/is there anything else that documents this "boot mode" of USBs?? |
It appears the new USB drivers (I assume from ps2sdk) are at least looking for an active partition. I took a look at some of the other USB drives I have, and they all say "Active" for their partition (and do not designate any boot mode). I do remember "reflashing" these USB drives with some obscure program that I can't remember years ago to get them to work with the PS2 before, if I recall correctly. Still strange to me though. Does Windows not set the FAT32 partition as active? And I still wonder what those other "boot modes" are... This is how my USB drive was before: This is how it is now, working and recognized by OPL: This is another USB drive I had lying around that also works and is recognized (only the first ExFAT partition of course): |
Thanks for reporting this issue so extensively. ps2dev drivers support both MBR and GPT partitioned disks. However the "USB-FDD" mode seems to NOT use a partitioning type at all. It formats the entire drive as FAT32/exfat, without using MBR or GPT. I think this is the underlying issue. |
can you open Sector editor and show us first sector for problematic USB drive |
Checks
Describe the issue
OPL is seemingly not finding my USB device with both the latest beta (2119) nor latest stable (v1.1.0).
OPL v0.9.3 and v1.0.0 can see my drive, as well as v1.2.0-beta-1979 (and some earlier versions, such as 1942 and 1940, but did not test beyond that.)
Additional testing via the archived versions reveals that v1.2.0-beta-1979 is the latest-working version of OPL that sees the games on my flash drive.
Tested with same results on both an exFAT drive with a game in ISO format and a FAT32 formatted drive containing games in the USBExtreme format. Both are the exact same type, each 32GB. I can provide extra info about them, just let me know how and what info to get.
No modchip, just launching via LaunchELF in FreeMcBoot. BDM devices are enabled with what I presume is the default setting of Auto.
Similar issue reports
My issue is likely similar to #1002 but the title and report is not very precise (it did help me get a starting point to test though, I was surprised to see it working with 1942!)
I queried for "1979", which provided #1271 and #871 (comment), but my console has no modchip, nor do I know where to delete such a bmp file?
#1295 was the first I found, which is recent, but none of the suggested versions made any difference.
