When is PS2BBL's config called?

Different optons to present user. This page is not linked on website yet as I figure out best how to present to the end user.

Option 1

1 Config:

    L_n1_n5_0@{ animation: slow }

  • mc?:SYS-CONF/PS2BBL.INI

    • PS2BBL signed exploit, ProtoPwn UMCS, OpenTuna and Dev1 modchips land here

    • Pros

      • Only 1 config to edit, less confusing to users to "follow the path"

      • Every exploit/modchip treated the same

      • Simply "delete" down the list to land on hacked OSDSYS/wLE ISR exFAT

    • Cons

      • Apps such as GSM standalone that dont work with hacked ODSSYS or expect uLE, user will need to press triangle hotkey to get to wLE ISR exFAT @ mc?:/BOOT/BOOT2.ELF

      • Mars Pro (DMS4 clone), and other incompatible modchips will need to edit mc?:SYS-CONF/PS2BBL.INI as it does not support hacked OSDSYS

  • mc?:SYS-CONF/PS2BBL.INI

    • PS2BBL signed exploit and ProtoPwn UMCS branch land here

  • mc?:/BOOT/CONFIG.INI

    • ProtoPwn main branch lands here

    • This config calls mc?:/APP_WLE-ISR-EXFAT first for OpenTuna/Modchip Dev1 (if modchip doesnt support OSDSYS updates)

      • Pros:

        • Apps that don't play well with hacked OSDSYS like GSM standalone

        • Mars Pro (and potentially other bad modchips) get a working starting app

        • Just like dropping users to other hacked OSDSYS (OSDMenu/FMCBD-XXXX) simply use MC browser to delete mc?:/APP_WLE-ISR-EXFAT which is already mc?:/BOOT/BOOT2.ELF

      • Cons:

        • OpenTuna/Modchip Dev1 treated differently.

        • OpenTuna users will be confused why they do not get hacked OSDSYS
