What's the issue? I'll give it a try and see if I can get it working.

How can you help?

got it to work. Some games you have to boot straight into OPL to get them to run, and this is one of them. Map your OPL elf to a button, I have mine set to L2. Now when you boot the PS2 you can hold L2 to go straight into OPL. Also enable accurate reads for smooth FMV playback.

Do you know if there is a way to get both Phantasy Star Universe games and Tales of Rebirth to work? PSU boots to a black screen and Tales of Rebirth freezes on the Namco logo iirc.

...That is stupid, how would you know that also can I autoboot into OPL without holding a button?

Change the "Auto" option in Free McBoot Configuration to your OPNPS2LD.ELF file. Just make sure you have a button set to open OSDSYS if you ever need to boot into it at startup.

Phantasy Star Universe should work using OPL 0.9.3 with mode 8 enabled. I'm not able to test the games myself right now.

It's almost as if the PS2 wasn't designed for OPL...

Been using OPL for a long time, it's always been kind of finicky. I know a lot of it's quirks. I've been able to get like 99% of the games I've tried working on it.

Can also confirm that Phantasy Star Universe & its sequel work with this version, as I've played them not that long ago. Depending on your setup, it just might be easier slapping OPL 0.9.3 on a usb stick & launching it from there.
