(This naming scheme also makes it extremely tedious to maintain individual game files.) HDLBatch will strip this prefix - but only if it matches the actual game ID inside the game file - and used the stripped name for the game title. Currently, OPL Manger does not provide an option to revert the file names one has to make use of a batch file to rename all the files. So if "SCUS_973.28.Gran Turismo 4.iso" were transferred to the PS2 HDD, it would show up in OPL as "SCUS_973.28.Gran Turismo 4" - OPL's alpha sorting of games becomes rather useless. But anyone wishing to transfer their games to the PS2 HDD will then have to rename all their game files otherwise the file names get used by the installers above as the title of the game.

These prefixes are invisible to SMB users. However, more recent versions of OPL Manager (as of the writing of this post) have started requiring game file names with game ID prefixes. Since many OPL users also enjoy having game art (boxart, backgrounds, screenshots), OPL Manager is a natural choice for managing art as well as games, especially for those who use OPL over network via SMB.

When connected to the PC directly, speeds ranged between 100MB/s and 150MB/s for DVD installs, and around 100MB/s for CD installs. Using a more recent version of HDLDUMP, speeds through USB3 improved to around 40MB/s - up from ~7MB/s, though this will certainly depend on the USB adapter. HDLBATCH attempts to combine the advantages of the above while addressing some of their shortcomings.

Moreover, Batcher was quite limited (had to install CD games separately, first DVD9 installs would always break due to a bug in the batch code). Still, who wants to have to install a Java runtime environment just for one app?! (I personally have no other use for Java.) Moreover, batch installs requires adding titles one at a time - ugh! Both Helper GUI and Batcher, however, seem to use HDLDUMP 0.9.0, which seems to be extremely slow when using USB adapters (for me, anyway ~7MB/s using a USB 3 SATA adapter). HDL Dump Helper GUI seems to be broken on more modern systems (claims of missing Java runtime environments despite the existence of one can still be launched via command-line with admin rights). Batch installs can be done using HDL Dump Helper GUI or HDL HDD Batcher (the latter being a command-line interface). It is similar to HDLGameInstaller in terms of network installation, but seems to be slightly slower (~5MB/s). HDLDUMP is a command-line toolkit for installing and managing games, and HDLDUMB is a GUI interface for HDLDUMP, but lacks batch installation.

All games, including CD games, must be in ISO format.

By connecting the PS2 HDD drive to a PC, one could batch install games very quickly (up to a limit of 255).
