🚨 PSBBN Definitive Patch Update. Tomorrow 5 PM GMT.

Big #PSBBN Definitive Patch update is in the works. Hoping to get it done and a new video out by the end of the month 🤞

PSBBN Update: Help needed! If anyone has experience working with old Linux kernels and wants to help fix a strange FAT32 file read bug, it’d be hugely appreciated! More details here: ko-fi.com/post/Help-ne...

. @archive.org has been available intermittently in the UK since the introduction of the Online Safety Act. I have a feeling they’re purposely limiting UK traffic to avoid being classified as Category 1 - average user base of 7 million or more per month.

#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 3: Launcher for Windows updated to v1.1.0! Includes bug fixes affecting a minority of users. Redownload from the “Installing on Windows” section of the readme. Special thanks to Yornn! github.com/CosmicScale/...

#PSBBN Mini Update 2: Music Installer Multi-disc album support ✅ Unsupported characters cleaned ✅ Album Artist used for albums, Artist for tracks ✅ Skipped files now clearly grouped✅ github.com/CosmicScale/...

In other news, it looks like the Internet Archive is blocked in the UK. From the link below, I’m clearly not the only one. The site still works fine if you use a VPN. If you're in the UK and want to install the PSBBN Definitive Patch, you'll need a VPN. downforeveryoneorjustme.com/internet-arc...

#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.

Due to personal reasons, I’ll have less time to dedicate to the #PSBBN Definitive Patch over the next month. That said, I’ll still be releasing smaller updates as they’re ready, rather than waiting for one big monthly update. Thanks for your patience and support!

If any YouTubers are interested in covering the #PSBBN Definitive Patch, feel free to reach out, I’m happy to chat. I can also provide an info sheet with background on the project.

Just got reminded how amazing it was to be a gamer in 2001 youtu.be/TA53sSgcvZY?...

I can now confirm that MiniDisc support hasn’t worked since PSBBN Definitive Patch 2.10. Nobody noticed until recently. The issue is related to Sony’s DRM and it broke when I increased the max size of the music partition.

The #PSBBN Definitive Patch README has been updated — it now includes instructions for installing on Windows. See the "Installing on Windows with WSL" section for details. github.com/CosmicScale/...

Great video from @machonachomedia.bsky.social on PSBBN, complete with a setup guide for Windows users! www.youtube.com/watch?v=afet...

Okay, the Archive.org issue is sorted — but that one last-minute addition turned into two... Should (hopefully!) be out next week 🤞

The PSBBN Definitive English Patch monthly update is running a bit late: 1. Upload issues with Archive.org 2. Working on a last-minute addition Thanks for your patience. It’ll be worth the wait — some cool new features coming soon!

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 back! PSBBN Definitive English Patch v2.10 is too! youtu.be/XTacIPOGAwE?...

Archive.org is temporarily offline. We are working to restore access. Apologies for the disruption!

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...

🚨 PSBBN Definitive English Patch v2.10 is out now! 🚨 - Game Installer improvements - Add games & apps without syncing - Larger POPS partition - Mini BBL launcher partitions ...and more. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTac...

#PSBBN Definitive English Patch 2.10 releasing today - New video at 5 PM BST!

Also, artwork is being corrected regularly. If any of your games have incorrect artwork, delete the incorrect images from the icons/art folder on your PC. Next time you run the game installer, the artwork will be re-downloaded.

The #PSBBN Art Database keeps growing with weekly updates! Over 200 new images were added tonight—bringing the totals to 10,788 for games and 102 for homebrew apps. If your games are missing artwork, it's worth re-running the game installer now and then to fill in those gaps!

Some comments just vanish on YouTube and I'm unable to reply. Therefore, I'm going to be answering some questions regarding the #PSBBN Definitive English Patch here.

Sometimes I get a notification from YouTube regarding a new comment but when I go to reply, the comment is nowhere to be found. If you ask a question and don't get a reply, that is probably the reason why.

The first contribution to the HDD-OSD Icon Database is live! This brings the total number of icons to 280. Check it out: github.com/CosmicScale/... #PS2 #PlayStation #RetroGaming #Sony #PSBBN #HDDOSD

PSBBN requires an official Sony Network Adapter. However, HDD-OSD also supports 3rd party HDD adapters. A guide for Windows users is now also available! youtu.be/vpbHlS8nY58?... #ps2 #psbbn #PlayStation

New video! 🚨 PSBBN Update: Save Application System (SAS), HDD-OSD, PS2BBL, and more! youtu.be/vpbHlS8nY58 #PSBBN #PS2 #PlayStation #Sony #RetroGaming #Homebrew

Some exciting #PSBBN updates going live today. New video today at 5 PM BST.

I've received several requests, so I've put together a translation pack for anyone interested in translating PSBBN into other languages. Completed translations can be added to the PSBBN installer, making the project multilingual. mega.nz/file/iBUh2Sa...

#PSBBN update! The PSBBN Definitive English Patch now supports installing homebrew via the Save Application Systsem: ko-fi.com/post/Install... #ps2 #homebrew #retrogaming #playstation #sony

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.

If anybody is using the #PSBBN Definitive English Patch with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), it would be great if you could make a tutorial video. I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate it.

The #PSBBN Art Database now has over 10,000 images!
