🚨 PSBBN Update: Thanks to KyleSanderson, the game installer can now automatically create VMCs for all your PS2 games! - Compatible with Neutrino and OPL - Supports group VMCs - No extra setup needed github.com/CosmicScale/... #PSBBN #PS2 #PlayStation #Homebrew
Fun fact: The "Internet Channel" icon was made by Sony but unused. Other unused icons like "Utility Channel" and "Other PC" hint they might’ve planned a full Linux desktop inside PSBBN. #PSBBN #PS2 #PlayStation #retrogaming
PSBBN Definitive Project: Maintenant disponible en français ! Special thanks to Bistroww and iSlickick for all their work on this. #PS2 #PSBBN #PlayStation #retrogaming #French
Early 2002, Sony held an event for shareholders detailing their plans for PSBBN. It had a different look and included features that never came to fruition: - Streaming movies with RealPlayer - Instant messaging, voice calls & video mail - Recording TV #psbbn #ps2 #retrogaming
Movie Installer update: bitrate now adapts to movie length (shorter = higher quality). Movies up to 2h15m can now be installed. Thanks for your feedback! ✅ Return of the Jedi – 2h12m ❌ The Lord of the Rings – 2h58m #PSBBN #PS2 #homebrew #RetroGaming

#PSBBN Mini Update 4: New Art Downloader The Art Downloader has been converted from JavaScript to Python, eliminating Puppeteer and Chromium dependencies that caused issues for some users. Artwork now downloads faster! github.com/CosmicScale/...

#PSBBN Mini Update 1: Some users were getting confused when partitioning the drive. The installer now shows the OPL partition size, makes it clear you’re only partitioning the remaining space, and creates the POPS partition first.
Thanks to everybody who used the game installer, you’ve collectively installed over 3,400 unique games in the past week! The HDD-OSD Icon Database now has 3,657 icons and counting! github.com/CosmicScale/...
Look what I stumbled across on AliExpress — a mini PS2 with an optical drive! It even has some kind of IDE resurrector mod. Sadly, it only comes with a 128GB drive, so it’s not compatible with the PSBBN Definitive Patch… maybe upgradable if there's room inside!
Just pushed a #PSBBN update! The game installer now automatically creates HDD-OSD icons. If a game's cover exists in the OPL Manager Art Database, an icon will be generated. All new icons are automatically contributed to the HDD-OSD Icon Database! #PS2 #PlayStation #retrogaming
archive.org is currently "temporarily offline". That means new users will not be able to install the PSBBN Definitive English Patch until it's back, as the image is hosted there. Hopefully, it will be back soon...
If you're using WSL and the drive is mounted in Windows, it will also be mounted in Linux at /mnt/{drive-letter}
Yes! I recommend making an APPS folder in __common and placing OPNPS2LD.ELF there. Then you just need to edit __sysconf/PS2BBL/CONFIG.INI, for example: LK_CIRCLE_E1 = hdd0:__common:pfs:/APPS/OPNPS2LD.ELF
Just had to push an update to the PSBBN Definitive English Patch's art downloader scripts — IGN had turned it into one big ad for the Switch 2.
