OpenPS2Launcher PS2 SMB Connection problems

Hi again,
I'm using the latest version of OpenPS2Launcher (v0.9.1) on my PS2 and followed ALL steps to etablish a connection between my PC and my PS2 but the PS2 doesn't find any games on my shared folder.

My steps (using Windows 7 x64):

- Disabled UAC and easy share wizard on Windows
- Launched OpenPS2Loader and configured the network configs like this:

PS2
IP: 192.168.1.110
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

PC
IP: 192.168.1.101
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Sharename: PS2SMB
User: GUEST
Pass: <empty>

- I clicked on a folder to share it via advanced sharing
- Shared the folder under the name PS2SMB and gave FULL ACCESS
- After the reconnect I etablished a connection but OpenPS2Loader shows nothing.

I tried the .iso format and .00 .01 files etc. and created a CD/DVD folder and all these things.

What could be the problem?

It does look ok to me, maybe the names of your games arn't right or the folder structure is messed up somewhere ?

ISO format
You are still required to have the device formatted as described above and defragmented as described below.

You will need to rename the ISO in this form: (You can use iso2opl.exe to auto-rename for you, see below)

game-code.name.iso SCUS_973.28.GT4.iso

The game-code can be found by viewing the disc contents and will appear as a filename, from the disc label or on the side of the case. Its is very important that the game-code has an underscore and .iso in lowercase in the filename, as shown in the example below.
Wrong = SCUS-973.28.GT4.ISO
Correct = SCUS_973.28.GT4.iso

The name will be what appears in the game list. The name must NOT exeed 32 characters (including spaces) or it will not display.

You will need to create 2 folders, CD and DVD, both MUST be uppercase. Place these on the root of the USB device. Now place the DVD ISO's into the DVD folder and the CD ISOs into the CD folder.
OPL will display them in the USB Games list along with any games you may have installed for earlier versions of OPL.

The iso is renamed, on the USB it works.

/EDIT

It finally works!
I added "Guest" on the folder's security permissions and gave it full access AND added "Guest" on the sharing itself:


This is german but shows where I added "Guest" on sharing options.


/EDIT 2

PS Multi Tools v10.1 will include a new PS2 feature called "Easy PS2 SMB Setup".



You only need to select the folder which will be shared and click Share, the tool makes everything automatically and gives you the network configs.
