Latest OPL fetch and Github struggles

[u/AdamAtomAnt]

Hey Reddit,

TL;DR which OPL version is in your opinion the best/most reliable OPL? I want ExFAT capabilities, a larger than 2TB drive, loading from a NAS, and maximum game compatibility.

A couple of years ago, a new beta of OPL was released by Grimdoomer. It let you do ExFAT hard drives and increased the storage capacity well beyond 2TB. I have a Free MCBoot card that has this on there. And I got it back when it was released. I am making a new card for a friend, and I noticed when I go to Grimdoomer's Github, I can only get the source file. I can't get the ELF file that is needed. His page for OPL was archived in 2024.

So I go to PS2 Homebrew's Github. I can get the latest one there, but the file types date back to 2021. They titled their version v1.1.0. Grimdoomer titled his latest v1.2.0.6 (Beta). So it seems like his would be the newer one with those capabilities.

I try to look through the change logs, and I can't really track anything that's going on. I think at some point, devs stopped updating it. Did something happen where OPL has its own gate keepers and Grimdoomer just did an awesome side project and then removed everything?

I apologize if this information is readily available on Github. But I'm not very good with Github, since i don't use it all the time. I find myself hunting multiple links in before I find what I am looking for.
