Project Identity

POPSLoader is a PS2 launcher for POPStarter built on Enceladus runtime pieces, with behavior primarily orchestrated by embedded Lua modules (system.lua, ui.lua, images.lua, pops_profiles.lua).

Current Runtime State (Repo-Verified)

  • Boot/runtime uses embedded Lua scripts (filesystem Lua loaders are disabled in runtime).
  • Settings are persisted at mc0:/POPSTARTER/.pldrs.
  • Settings edits are staged and committed on Settings/Profile exit.
  • Configurable paths include POPStarter and DKWDRV, with mc?:/ alias resolution support.
  • Implemented selectable BDMA modes: FAT32, USBEXFAT, MX4SIO, MMCE.
  • USB/MX4SIO split is based on mount-driver identity, not path-prefix heuristics alone.
  • Release packaging policy in CI is PS1_POPSLOADER/* + POPS/PATCH_5.BIN with strict manifest validation.

Main Menu Feature Status

  • MMCE: implemented.
  • MX4SIO: implemented.
  • HDD (PFS): implemented.
  • USB: implemented.
  • Disc (DKWDRV): implemented.
  • HDD (exFAT): not implemented.
  • SMB (v1): not implemented.

Known Open Work

  • Implement HDD exFAT menu flow.
  • Implement SMB menu flow.
  • Implement ART system.
  • Expand documented hardware validation runs.
  • Add clearer end-user installation layout guidance for launcher variants.

Verification Status

  • Code/build/package statements above are repository-verified.
  • Hardware behavior is Unknown (verify on hardware) unless recorded in QA_REGRESSION_MATRIX.md run logs.
