Retro GEM Game ID Resetter for PlayStation 2

When using the Retro GEM with a special build of OPL that supports Game ID, the Game ID remains persistent when you quit the game (L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 + SELECT + START) and return to the OSD. It is only cleared when OPL is launched again or the console is powered off. This little app fixes that problem. With the "Retro GEM Game ID Resetter," when you quit a game, the Game ID is reset, and the Retro GEM settings are returned to global.

This app was designed as a companion to my OPL build, that not only supports Game ID for PS2 games but also PS1 games and any homebrew app. This OPL build also supports Game ID when games are launched with OPL-Launcher via the HDD-OSD or PSBBN. It is also compatible with the PSBBN Definitive English Patch 2.0

Instructions

1. Put the BOOT folder on a PS2 memory card in memory card slot 0 or slot 1.
2. In OPL, go to Settings and set the IGR Path to mc0:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF for slot 0 and mc1:/BOOT/BOOT.ELF for slot 1.

Notes

This application must be in a folder titled BOOT for compatibility with POPStarter and PS1 games. If you are using FreeMCBoot in its default configuration, then you will have the FreeMCBoot memory card in memory card slot 1, LaunchELF will be in the BOOT folder on this card, also titled BOOT.ELF. In this case, put the Retro GEM Game ID Resetter on the memory card in slot 0, then make sure to update the links for LaunchELF using the "Free MCBoot Configurator" so that they all point to slot 1.
