[ISSUE]: bdm hdd not listing games

[savor175]

Checks

• I have checked existing OPL issues for duplicates and found none
• I am using either OPL latest stable version, or archived version or OPL beta version

Describe the issue

When I enable HDD under BDM Devices the drive is detected, and the Games List shows GPT, but no games are listed.
The games are listed and playable with the same drive on grimdoomer's last build.
I am using the Sony HDD adapter with the Bitfunx SATA adapter.
Drive is a WD GReen 2TB WD20EARS.

In which device(s) have you experienced this issue?

HDD

Context and extra information

No response

[Jaajees]

From what I've been told, this feature was implemented very early, It wasn't ready yet
But it will probably be fixed soon

Issue still persists with the latest build of OPL 2197

Games are not listed if they are located in an exfat partition of an APA-Jail formatted drive.

I do believe this is an issue that may be able to get resolved as for example NHDDL (OPL-like interface for Neutrino) is able to list and start the games located on the exfat partition

There are also issues with blackscreen (if config doesn't exist) and missing input (if config already exists on mc) when starting the latest OPL but that would have to be reported in a separate issue

[CosmicScale]

I'll just note that this issue doesn't affect all HDDs/SSDs. Trying a different drive often resolves the problem. The affected drives appear to work fine with Neutrino and Grimdoomer's OPL, suggesting the issue is isolated to the current exFAT implementation in OPL.

There are also issues with blackscreen (if config doesn't exist) and missing input (if config already exists on mc) when starting the latest OPL but that would have to be reported in a separate issue

I started having the exact same issues after booting up the 2199, even though the 2197 was working fine for me prior to booting the 2199, all on the same EXFAT SSD.

Grim fork still works just fine.

EDIT:

so from my testing:

2194 [run_2031] (the last one) works just fine every time

2197 [run_2047 to 2058] works just fine every time 

2197 [run_2059 to 2068] freezing on main menu/black screen

2199 [all builds] freezing on main menu/black screen

[jusefn]

Yeah i can confirm Grim fork works fine with detecting and loading games from the exfat partition

SSD:
fanxiang SATA SSD S101 500GB

SATA adapter:
"Demeras SATA Adapter for PS2 Upgrade Card for PS2-IDE Original Network Adapter Large Capacity for SATA Hard Drive Adapter"

[real-isidore]

I also cannot load games from OPL or from PSBBN, goes to black screen when trying to load PSBBN games that otherwise seem to install fine and show up in the games list on the PS2. I get nothing in the actual OPL BDM or HDD games list though.

Tried deleting OPL config on memory card, reinstalling everything to HDD, I've tried a Kingston HDD and a Seagate HDD and nothing will allow stuff to load from exfat. Turned BDM devices to auto, saved config, restarted, no game list. Restarted PS2 between all these steps above too.

Can't boot CD or DVD PS2 games from HDD here, get black screen. Was able to load games with FreeMCBoot + OPL + WinHIIP installations before with the same drives. My ethernet is working fine on the adapter if it makes any difference, can do things online with the PS2.

Model: SCPH-50001 Official Sony network adapter with BitFunx IDE->SATA mod

Most reports of this problem seem to be coming from people using the BitFunx SATA mod with an official Sony Network Adapter. I've got a Kiaco SATA mod in my official adapter and it works without issue. Also the BitFunx mod seems to work fine with Grimdoomer's exFAT OPL and Neutrino.

[Lyokanthrope]

I also seem to be afflicted by this, SCPH-39001 console with a Sony official SCPH-10281 network adapter and a BitFunx IDE <-> SATA mod.

I've tried using GrimDoomer's OPL fork from a while back and that seemed to work okay, haven't tried Neutrino yet due to limited time.
I use network functionality enough that a Kaico SATA adapter isn't an option for me, so I'd love to see this fixed upstream.
(unless you can just take the board out of that thing and hook it up to the Sony adapter? All I can find is the unit that takes the place of the Sony network adapter...)
