    Hello!

    I've been messing around in the BB Navigator on my PS2, and I wanted to find a way to access the game partitions so that I can set an image in the res folder, allowing me to have cover art for the games. I've seen one user do it in a past thread, but they didn't necessarily provide specific instructions, just that it had to be replaced for it to work. As I understand it, I can't access any of these partitions in Ulaunchelf because they are HDL Partitions, but is there anything that can? How should I go about doing this?

    Thanks in advance!

    There is no way for editing such partitions cause they has no filesystem. If you really need that BB Nav shows you images and other info you need to rename game partition manually from PP.SOMETHING.HERE into PC.SOMETHING.HERE in uLaunchELF than you need to create PP.SOMETHING.HERE partition and you finally can create res folder and fill it with your data.

    If that's done, will the game still remain bootable? If it was installed with either your modified HDLDump program or HDLGameInstaller.

    Probably I really forgot to add such a feature into miniopl that I grabbed from you. Old versions of miniopl has such a feature (if partition begin with PC it is automatically renamed into PP inside miniopl core)

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Thanks for the clarification!

    The builds from me never had such a feature, so you probably got a custom version from l_Oliveira or from somebody else.
    Personally, I had mixed feelings about adding a child partition because the HDD documentation actually wrote that the icon files have to be on both the primary and child partitions. :/
