Detect PS2 ISOs in DVD/CD folder additionally

[ArturSchnell]

Hello,

I am currently using a micro SD card in connection with MX4SIO in the PS2. Now I wanted to use the microSD card in a USB stick on the PS3. However, since OPL is structured differently and uses the DVD and CD folders, I wanted to ask if it is possible to search the /CD and /DVD folders when scanning for PS2 ISOs.

The main reason behind my request is for to convertion to .BIN.ENC in the user tools. It scans only the folder /PS2ISO
Another reason for this is that under Fat32 or exFat it is not possible to create a symlink to another folder.

Best regards

Artur :)

it can be added, but keep in mind converting to ps2classic (bin.enc) from USB is really slow due to non-optimized data reading from external media.

You can test yourself, take a ps2 iso, try doing conversion from USB, then try the same but first copy the ISO file to dev_hdd0. You'll see the difference is huge. Maybe a CD iso is ok, but converting a big DVD iso from USB will take so long that you will still prefer to copy to HDD with a file manager like IRISMAN and then do the conversion.

Thank you for your answer. I was already thinking the same thing. However, it is much more convenient if you can just convert and it is automatically named correctly.

Another idea would also be to copy directly and then convert automatically (and also delete the copied .ISO afterwards).

Filenames and renaming or deleting files is up to the user, again, using any file manager would allow the user to do it.

PS2Classic conversion is just a side bonus for Apollo, it's not a main feature and I'm not looking for further changes. Still, scanning OPL folders can be added but will work with the same speed as current USB PS2ISO folder.
