How to install OPL PS2 theme
- Make sure to download the latest OPL version: Click Here.
- Then download a OPL Custom Theme that is known to work with OPL 0.9+. You can find a collection here: Click Here.
IMPORTANT: custom themes that are designed to work with OPL 0.8* or older do not work with OPL 0.9+ or vise versa. So make sure to grab themes that are compatible. - Make sure your OPL folder structure is something like this in your USB or Shared folder (-- I am not sure how the structure should be in HDD--but do let us know below if you know) -- if those folders don't exist, please add them--DO NOT add this to your Sony memory card--that is not where they should go:
NOTE: when you download a OPL custom theme. When you extract it. You should get a folder that starts with the following prefixthm_
followed by the name of the theme. (see examples below).CODE: SELECT ALLthm_bo_black thm_to_stone
thm_
in lowercase, what is placed after the prefix will be the name of the theme as displayed in OPL.
IMPORTANT: OPL Disiplay settings will never display the prefix, but it won't load a theme, if it doesn't start with the prefix.
TIP: make sure thethm_
folder has the following file:conf_theme.cfg
in the root of the folder or else when you extracted the zip file, the mainthm_
folder is still deep in another sub-folder. So find it.
- Put each theme folder in your THM folder.
NOTE: Themes must be inside a folder namedTHM
in uppercase for any of the 3 devices, SMB share, HDD and USB.
If (or when) the device is started, OPL will list the themes found at these locations:- SMB (Network Share)
In the root directory or drive you set as yourPS2SMB
share, in aTHM
folderCODE: SELECT ALLPS2SMB/THM/thm_My New Theme/
- USB device
In the root of the drive or partition set for OPL (where your games are located), in aTHM
folderCODE: SELECT ALLmass:/THM/thm_My New Theme/
- HDD (Internal hard drive)
Place theTHM
folder in the OPL Partition of the HDD+OPL
, you can create the partition if it doesn't exist, by using uLaunchELF: [FileBrowser > MISC > HddManager]CODE: SELECT ALLhdd0:/+OPL/THM/thm_My New Theme/
CD
,DVD
andPOPS
folders. (Each game is a partition and__.POPS
or__.POPS1
to__.POPS10
are partitions)
IMPORTANT: Themes stored on any of these devices will not display if that device is not enabled, so be sure you enabled the device you store your themes in. - PS2 Memory Card
You can put your themes on a memory card, where OPL will search for anOPL
folder instead ofTHM
:CODE: SELECT ALLmc0:/OPL/thm_My New Theme/
CODE: SELECT ALLmc1:/OPL/thm_My New Theme/
OPL
in uppercase and are automatically enabled to use.
WARNING: Use caution as Themes can use up valuable MC space
- SMB (Network Share)
- Turn on OPL 9.x. If you had OPL running all this time, restart it.
- Now go to to OPL Settings:
Display Settings
. And enable the following:
NOTE: In the example below, I have the following theme selected and loaded:thm_bo_black
. Notice that in OPL, it will not display thethm_
prefix. That is normal.
TIP: I also recommend you enable the following settings:
A description of what each of the above settings do:OPL SETTINGS RECOMMENDED SETTING NOTES THEME select any theme you have on your THM folder. ENABLE COVER ART ON this enables to display your game ART -- be sure to use OPL Manager to download some ART. DISPLAY INFO PAGE ON some custom themes may not support this. WIDESCREEN ON or OFF some custom themes will tell you whether this setting is recommended or not. So read their own set of instructions. OK once you select a theme, it won't be loaded until you select the OK setting at the bottom). - After the custom theme loads, you can go to the main game pages to see it loaded.
- If you find one you like, Save your Changes in OPL 9.x, so that will be your new default theme.
- Enjoy! (if you have any questions, look at the FAQS below--! )
