Configuration files¶

YAOPL's settings are plain text files with one key=value line per setting. You do not need to edit them by hand: every setting has a place in the menus. This page is for backing them up, copying them between devices, or fixing a setting that makes YAOPL unusable.

Where they are¶

File	Contents	Where
`conf_opl.cfg`	YAOPL's settings (Settings, Display, Audio, Controller, Parental Lock, MMCE)	See below
`conf_network.cfg`	Network Settings and the SMB server	Next to `conf_opl.cfg`
`conf_game.cfg`	The global game settings: cheats, GSM, PADEMU, PADMACRO, OSD	Next to `conf_opl.cfg`
`conf_last.cfg`	The last game played	Next to `conf_opl.cfg`
`conf_apps.cfg`	Legacy app list (optional)	`mc?:OPL` or the root of a device, see Apps
`CFG/<game ID>.cfg`	One game's own settings	On the game's device
`CD/games.bin`, `DVD/games.bin`	Cache of game IDs	On the device
`hdd0:__common/OPL/conf_hdd.cfg`	Which APA partition is YAOPL's	APA HDD, see Internal HDD

conf_opl.cfg and its companions are kept together: in mc0:OPL or mc1:OPL on a memory card, or in the root of a USB drive or of the APA HDD's OPL partition. The search order is in Where settings are saved.

These files are the same as OPL's, so settings can be moved between OPL and YAOPL. The parental lock password and the SMB password are stored in plain text.

conf_opl.cfg¶

The keys of each option are listed in the Settings reference. Values are numbers (0 off, 1 on, list positions starting at 0), text, or colors as #RRGGBB.

conf_network.cfg¶

Key	Option
`eth_linkmode`	Ethernet Link Mode (0 Auto, 1 100 Mbit full, 2 100 Mbit half, 3 10 Mbit full, 4 10 Mbit half)
`ps2_ip_use_dhcp`	IP Address Type (0 Static, 1 DHCP)
`ps2_ip_addr`, `ps2_netmask`, `ps2_gateway`, `ps2_dns`	The PS2's addresses
`smb_share_use_nbns`	SMB Address Type (0 IP, 1 NetBIOS)
`smb_ip`, `smb_share_nb_addr`	The SMB server's IP address or NetBIOS name
`smb_port`	SMB port
`smb_share`, `smb_user`, `smb_pass`	Share, user, password
`nbd_default_export`	The NBD export name (no menu option; empty means `hdd0`)

Game settings files¶

CFG/<game ID>.cfg holds the settings saved in the game menu. Keys starting with $ are settings; keys starting with # describe the game and are written by YAOPL:

`$OSDSettingsEnable`, `$CustomLanguageValue`, `$OSDAspectRatio`, `$OSDVideoMode`, `$CustomLanguageSource`	OSD settings
`$ConfigSource`	Where the settings came from (1 saved by you, 2 downloaded by Network Update)

The *Source keys are 0 for Global, 1 for Per Game. The info screen shows Title, Genre, Release, Developer and Description from this file when PC tools have added them.

conf_game.cfg uses the same keys for the global values.
