I somehow ended up in a weird place where hdl_dump can see my games on my HD however the PS2 can't read it and pfsshell gives this after the device command:
hdd: PS2 APA Driver v2.5 (c) 2003 Vector
hdd: max open = 1, 3 buffers
hdd: 20:14:27 06/07/2021
hdd: disk0: 0xe8e074c0 sectors, max 0x04000000
hdd: checking log...
hdd: drive status 1, format version 00000002
hdd: version 0000 driver start.
pfs Playstation Filesystem Driver v2.2
ps2fs: (c) 2003 Sjeep, Vector and Florin Sasu
pfs Max mount: 1, Max open: 1, Number of buffers: 10
pfs version 0000 driver start.
but mounting OPL gives this.
(!) hdd0:+OPL: No such device.
(!) Exit code is -19.
hdl_dump says my APA partition is broken.
WinHIIP has a scan and fix option but it doesn't work with drives larger than 1Tb and I don't see another viable replacement tool for larger drives. Wondered if this tool could be extend to scan and fix partition errors...
