Describe the issue

I made the app OPL-Launcher-BDM to make use of OPL's 'autoLaunchBDMGame' function and found that it does not work.

I did some debugging of opl.c:

static void autoLaunchBDMGame(char *argv[])
{
    // SifInitRpc(0);
    init_scr();
    char path[256];
    config_set_t *configSet;

    scr_printf("Initializing BDM Mode...\n");
    sleep(2);
    miniInit(BDM_MODE);

    scr_printf("Allocating memory for gAutoLaunchBDMGame...\n");
    sleep(2);
    gAutoLaunchBDMGame = malloc(sizeof(base_game_info_t));
    if (!gAutoLaunchBDMGame) {
        scr_printf("Error: Memory allocation for gAutoLaunchBDMGame failed!\n");
        sleep(5);
        return; // Exit if memory allocation fails.
    }

    memset(gAutoLaunchBDMGame, 0, sizeof(base_game_info_t));

    scr_printf("Checking ISO name validity...\n");
    sleep(2);
    int nameLen;
    int format = isValidIsoName(argv[1], &nameLen);
    scr_printf("ISO format: %d, name length: %d\n", format, nameLen);
    sleep(2);

    if (format == GAME_FORMAT_OLD_ISO) {
        scr_printf("Handling old ISO format...\n");
        sleep(2);
        strncpy(gAutoLaunchBDMGame->name, &argv[1][GAME_STARTUP_MAX], nameLen);
        gAutoLaunchBDMGame->name[nameLen] = '\0';
        strncpy(gAutoLaunchBDMGame->extension, &argv[1][GAME_STARTUP_MAX + nameLen], sizeof(gAutoLaunchBDMGame->extension));
        gAutoLaunchBDMGame->extension[sizeof(gAutoLaunchBDMGame->extension) - 1] = '\0';
    } else {
        scr_printf("Handling new ISO format...\n");
        sleep(2);
        strncpy(gAutoLaunchBDMGame->name, argv[1], nameLen);
        gAutoLaunchBDMGame->name[nameLen] = '\0';
        strncpy(gAutoLaunchBDMGame->extension, &argv[1][nameLen], sizeof(gAutoLaunchBDMGame->extension));
        gAutoLaunchBDMGame->extension[sizeof(gAutoLaunchBDMGame->extension) - 1] = '\0';
    }

    scr_printf("Game name: %s\n", gAutoLaunchBDMGame->name);
    sleep(2);
    scr_printf("Game extension: %s\n", gAutoLaunchBDMGame->extension);
    sleep(2);

    snprintf(gAutoLaunchBDMGame->startup, sizeof(gAutoLaunchBDMGame->startup), argv[2]);
    scr_printf("Game startup: %s\n", gAutoLaunchBDMGame->startup);
    sleep(2);

    if (strcasecmp("DVD", argv[3]) == 0) {
        gAutoLaunchBDMGame->media = SCECdPS2DVD;
        scr_printf("Media type: DVD\n");
        sleep(2);
    } else if (strcasecmp("CD", argv[3]) == 0) {
        gAutoLaunchBDMGame->media = SCECdPS2CD;
        scr_printf("Media type: CD\n");
        sleep(2);
    } else {
        scr_printf("Error: Invalid media type\n");
        sleep(5);
    }

    gAutoLaunchBDMGame->format = format;
    gAutoLaunchBDMGame->parts = 1; // ul not supported.
    scr_printf("Game format: %d\n", gAutoLaunchBDMGame->format);
    sleep(2);

    if (gBDMPrefix[0] != '\0') {
        snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "mass0:%s/CFG/%s.cfg", gBDMPrefix, gAutoLaunchBDMGame->startup);
    } else {
        snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "mass0:CFG/%s.cfg", gAutoLaunchBDMGame->startup);
    }
    scr_printf("Configuration path: %s\n", path);
    sleep(2);

    scr_printf("Allocating configuration set...\n");
    sleep(2);
    configSet = configAlloc(0, NULL, path);
    if (!configSet) {
        scr_printf("Error: Failed to allocate configSet!\n");
        sleep(5);
        return; // Exit if config allocation fails.
    }

    scr_printf("Reading configuration...\n");
    sleep(2);
    if (configRead(configSet) != 0) {
        scr_printf("Error: Failed to read configuration file: %s\n", path);
        sleep(5);
        return;
    }

    scr_printf("Launching the game...\n");
    sleep(2);
    bdmLaunchGame(NULL, -1, configSet);
}

The output is a follows:

Initializing BDM Mode...
Allocating memory for gAutoLaunchBDMGame...
Checking ISO name validity...
ISO format: 1, name length: 15
Handling old ISO format...
Game name: Mister Mosquito
Game extension: .iso
Game startup: SLUS_203.75
Media type: CD
Game format: 1
Configuration path: mass0:CFG/SLUS_203.75.cfg
Allocating configuration set...
Reading configuration...
Error: Failed to read configuration file: mass0:CFG/SLUS_203.75.cfg

If the configuration file does not exist it continues straight to Launching the game... and then freezes.

All games tested launch without issue from the OPL GUI.

i didnt think anyone used this feature.. anyway I noticed this also and made a fix a few days ago (but it will only work for mass0) .. it is also untested but logically should work

I figured I'd be the first to use it lol. This feature will be more widely used in the future. I'm beta testing APA-Jail at the moment. APA-Jail plus autoLaunchBDM and HDD large capacity support would allow launching games from the exFAT partition on the internal HDD, directly from PSBBN or Browser 2.0, just like how OPL-Launcher works today.

I tried that commit. Auto Launch now works but games fail to load from USB on the GUI, it freezes at 'Loading config...'
