If you’re like me, and totally missed on this update back when it first got released, make sure to check the links below and update your PS2 homebrew setup for a much improved experience. I still think the PS2 is in dying need of a proper Optical Drive Emulator (ODE) but OPL continues to act as a fantastic solution for perfectly running most titles from the PS2’s gigantic catalogue. The GUI received a fresh coat of paint as well as new features such as Hi-resolution video modes and Improved VMC functionality. The latest update, which was released in January 2021, introduces A TON of fixes and improvements to the core and addresses pertinent compatibility issues for games like Metal Gear Solid 3 and God of War II. Although that version was still considered a robust solution for booting up images from USB mass storage devices and/or IDE drives, it left a lot to be desired in terms of stability and compatibility. Version 1.0 of OPL appeared almost 5 years after the what-we-thought-could-be-the final-update, version 0.93. The team behind the infamous open-source PS2/PS3 game and application launcher Open PS2 Loader has released a comprehensive update that addresses a huge amount of issues.

While this bit of news is a few months old at the time of writing this post, I believe it still holds a big relevance for PS2 enthusiasts.
