#PSBBN Mini Update 1: Some users were getting confused when partitioning the drive. The installer now shows the OPL partition size, makes it clear you’re only partitioning the remaining space, and creates the POPS partition first.

Due to personal reasons, I’ll have less time to dedicate to the #PSBBN Definitive Patch over the next month. That said, I’ll still be releasing smaller updates as they’re ready, rather than waiting for one big monthly update. Thanks for your patience and support!

I can now confirm that MiniDisc support hasn’t worked since PSBBN Definitive Patch 2.10. Nobody noticed until recently. The issue is related to Sony’s DRM and it broke when I increased the max size of the music partition.
