Dead/black screen when starting from OPL

[yepyepyep4711]

Hello!

I'm trying to use this, but I've hit a snag.

I'm using FunTuna-Fork, since I have a slim SCPH-90006. I've replaced the OPL 1.1.0 that came with it with 1.2.0 beta so that I can start PS1 games.
uLaunchELF v4.43x_isr is the version that came with it.
I'm using a USB key and an 8MB Sony MC.

Here what happens:
If I use uLaunchELF to start HWC-Language-Selector from the USB key, it will start fine and I can make a choice. It will then go back to FreeMCBoot, and if I understand #3 correctly at this point the setting is lost, which explains why nothing changes in the games (they stay in English).

But if I first start OPL, then HWC-Language-Selector as an App from within it, then the screen will flash blue, green, yellow, orange, then black, in that order as far as I can reconstruct it. Then it's frozen and I have to restart the console for anything to happen.

What can I do?

Cheers

The ELF loader in modern SDKs seems to have some issues with some apps for some reason.
So, newer OPL versions uses it, so it has these errors.

Also, it seems you're not using OPL, but instead OPL DB, which is a different app.

Try using the official OPL. Here's the latest nightly build: https://github.com/ps2homebrew/Open-PS2-Loader/releases/tag/latest

Oh, and by the way, the latest OPL version makes the need for this app null.
It now has support for language settings per-game and globally.
Check it out!
