PS2 OPL Samba Config (2026, working)

README.md

Notes

• DVD games go in /DVD
• Files must be in .iso format
  • bchunk can be used to convert .bin/.cue -> .iso
• Some games have compatibility settings needed in /CFG/[game_id].cfg
• Reading from a HDD, OPL will err if the files aren't defragmented (this is not a joke)
