Jay Jay's OPL Manager
Looking to spruce up danielb's latest OPL Manager for PS2? Check out these awesome themes by Jay Jay!
If you happened to download OPL Manager V6 a couple days ago, here are some really cool themes brought to us by PS2 developer Jay Jay. The complete collection is split into two distinct parts. The CPOn set is a brand new design featuring grey, mechanical, and metallic overtones. As its name implies, BlackOn revels in pronouncing darker tones with a mix of any shade you desire. See more info below, and full screenshots at the source link!
UPDATE: -- Updated on April 22, 2014
I've release a new collection of themes named:
"CP on... Themes" v1
plus I've updated the:
"Black on... Themes" to v3,
so they can also use the new CFG format that has now been made the standard for OPL 2nd pages...
See below for more details about this new theme collection,"CP on... Themes" v1, as well as the updates v3 versions for the "Black on... Themes"".
IMPORTANT: -- Updated on April 22, 2014
You will need to use the following program: OPL Manager v6+ (with CFG Editor) by danielb to help you edit/create CFG files:
Plus I've deleted the old themes downloads to avoid confusion. If you still like the "Black On... Themes v1 or v2, please let me know by replying below--but I really think they are no longer necessary.

Tutorial: How to make these themes work on OPL? -- Updated on April 22, 2014
- Download the Theme Collection below. (You will need to extract the file with the free 7-zip extractor.)
- Put each theme folder in your THM folder (I use mine in ETH mode, but I am sure it's the same for USB or HDD).
- Download my sample of ART and copy them to your ART folder -- so you can see the Info Page with extra SCR art for the games--hopefully we have a few of the same games. :)
- Download my sample CFG folder and put the files inside your CFG folder--make a backup of your own files, in case you don't like my format. This way some of the same games we both may have, you will see the extra information for the Info Page.
Please note that I use VMC mode and I have it set that it's single VMC bin file per game. If you don't use it this way, you may want to open my CFG files with notepad and edit out the VMC game id's inside the CFG file for example: $VMC_0=SLUS_200.71_0.
Note 2: I am sure we use the same Game Settings Modes ( example: $Compatibility= ), so you may not have to change that property. This is why I say to backup your CFG files before you swap them with mine. See CFG Files for OPL Step 5 for more details about this (below).

- Turn on OPL 9 (or if you had it on, go to Networks and do a Reconnect so it scans all your changes).
- Enable the Info Page in: Settings > Display Settings > Display Info Page > On, then OK at the bottom screen (you may want to save your changes, so you don't have to do this again).
- Load one of my themes in the Display Settings--if you are experienced, I should not have to tell you how to do this and swap themes to test or to keep.
- If you find one you like, Save your Changes in OPL 9, so that will be your new default theme.
- Enjoy! (if you have any questions, look at the tutorial below--you noob! :) )
