Fork Feature Gaps

Full current ecosystem refresh - October 29, 2026

Publication update - October 30, 2026: the All Games/Apps changes (#195 / #1163) have now merged in both editions. The CPP-only list-rebuild follow-up #201, Coverflow variants (#199 / #1167), Grid integration (#196 / #1164), silent in-game pause (#200 / #1168), config-import changes (#190 / #1159) and menu-freeze diagnostics (#191 / #1160) remain open at this publication check. The repository/ref/release inventory below remains the explicitly dated late-October-29 source snapshot.

This snapshot replaces the availability conclusions of the earlier October 29 reconciliation. It was collected late on October 29 in America/Los_Angeles; UTC evidence timestamps extend into October 30. Both sites retain the older reports and every stable anchor as dated history. Differences are opportunities for comparison, with shared work credited; they are not promised ports or a defect count.

Current baselines and coverage

All 141 tracked identities / 138 canonical repositories were rechecked: 10 changed tracked refs, 131 unchanged, none unavailable, relative to the previous October 29 ref inventory. YAOPL's old/new addresses are two identities for one canonical repository. Changed-head totals include both maintained editions and a following fork; they are not counts of independent upstream developments. All 138 canonical release collections were checked, up to five entries each, resolving the 141 identities through canonical aliases.

The current register contains 301 stable records, 152 capability/design families, and 44 source groups. All previous 292 IDs and 143 family numbers remain. Nine new records cover freshly inspected mechanisms. Older, unchanged records retain their assessment dates: a fresh ref/release check is not a fresh function audit. Every recorded branch/tag ref is available in repository-heads.json.

The discovery check expanded to the newest 100 upstream OPL forks and all two RiptOPL forks. No additional identities created since October 25 appeared outside the existing inventory in that window. Older untracked forks and branches outside the reviewed source scopes remain outside this audit; this is not an exhaustive GitHub-wide comparison.

Changes already merged in both editions

The October 29 hardening/read-only UDPBD/SMAP batch and per-mode positions are merged in both editions, as the published report already records. They are not still-open implementation work. Both now also contain:

The All Games/Apps changes (#195 / #1163) merged after the research snapshot and are present at the publication bases. The CPP-only list-rebuild follow-up #201, Coverflow variants (#199 / #1167), Grid integration (#196 / #1164), silent in-game pause (#200 / #1168), official-config import (#190 / #1159) and menu-freeze diagnostics (#191 / #1160) remain pending at publication. Their branch content is not folded into source availability. The in-game menu is credited to akilluminati47’s RIPPS2 and its ORBIT ancestry; multi-view/Grid remains credited to KrahJohlito and PSBBN Flow to darkladark.

RIPPS2 release, companion and development states

RIPPS2 main is 5ebb5e0b4cc0. The source patch queue is byte-for-byte unchanged from the earlier 75-patch build 124 reconstruction (git diff of elf/patches returned no delta). Main's 14 later commits concern release/docs, Media Studio, tests and screenshots; they do not add build 125 runtime code.

v1.2.4-beta/build124 is now released at b682a93c. GitHub sets prerelease=false while the product remains beta. This promotes builds122-124's launch transition, tar-merge and mode-position source from development status; it does not prove runtime or storage durability. RI42/RI46 are updated accordingly. RI47 remains an opt-in diagnostic mechanism even though its source is now tagged.

Media Studio is a distinct Windows companion release. It adds bounded AVI video conversion and packaging with ffmpeg/ffprobe alongside the existing audio/own-BIOS authoring toolchain. RI4/RI48 preserve companion scope; a media tool release is not a new game-loader version.

b125@524c2cef7c40 is an unreleased, diverged development branch, not current main. Source inspection adds RI49 (tar folders/member writes), RI50 (64KiB/64-slot packed recent-CFG LRU cache), and RI51 (video controls and HD-cover download choice). The branch also changes legacy sidebar defaults and corrects the built-in theme's omitted launch_disc key. Preserve staged-write, invalidation, memory-pressure and interruption questions; no upstream setup/build scripts or storage probes were executed.

YAOPL: shared fixes and a withdrawn policy

Canonical yaopl/yaopl master is 0889ac4d0095, ten commits beyond the earlier pin. Its rc2 release at ee9cb9fa remains a prerelease and predates master's later message-wrap work; the mutable nightly is separate.

YAOPL removed its DualShock launch reset in 7094cd25. Our bounded digital/unlocked handoff remains in both defaults. YA-06 is therefore a current policy divergence with an upstream withdrawal, not a claim of current upstream parity. No console evidence here selects the universally correct behaviour.

YA-19 finds existing local overlap: both ee_core padhook implementations preserve the hook flag during polling pauses, mark both callbacks and publish patched instructions through kernel-context cache flushes. YA-20 narrows the remaining comparison: local interactive message boxes already wrap, while YAOPL shares a helper across warnings, text screens, confirmations and removal prompts too. Width, height, UTF-8/CJK behaviour, truncation and each actual consumer need review before any port. Withdrawn YA-11 remapping stays deferred.

LUNA and runtime dependency pins

Wrapper c1205fbd now pins nhddl luna@1c97889d34ce. Its historical tracked frontend ref is legacy, not main, and is unchanged at4e8f4e6b. The earlier prose called that tracked ref main; this refresh corrects it. The five added frontend commits refine CubeGlass quick/game menus, padding/text fit, per-appearance effects colour and circular Space Flight stars; they do not add another VMC-storage backend.

Neutrino fff99d98, native OPL c533f939 and PSXCore 5d4de02f pins are unchanged. The previously inspected whole-card PS1/PS2 lifecycle, 4MiB direction-aware art reuse, paired long-argv and MMCE restore mechanisms remain differentiated comparisons. Existing local VMC Saves/creation, async caches and safe argv refusal overlap. Native/Neutrino/PSXCore flags cannot be transplanted without their paired runtimes. v3.1.3 release assets are not automatically this development wrapper.

Development branches and companion repositories

Actionable comparisons and evidence limits

The immediate source comparisons are YA-20's remaining message consumers, RI42's archive merge/recovery contract, RI49/RI50's branch-only archive/cache ownership, and the scheduler/buffer invariants in T11. Whole-card VMC/PSU workflows remain separate from game-launch requirements. Hardware-sensitive controller and in-game-menu changes need affected-console evidence; this audit does not port them.

Disc ripping/CD-player/HDD partition writes remain declined local scope. Single-pass magnified HD and external-only runtime packaging remain optional design alternatives. Shared/imported fixes, intentional choices, tools and experiments stay in the register without being counted as defects.

Read the dated repository heads, releases, comparisons, complete manifests, dependency pins, pull requests, source review, per-ID dispositions and validation files beside this report. Local validation covers documents/generated indexes, anchors/resources, register/family totals and browser behaviour when available; its exact outcomes are recorded separately. No new PS2 build, emulator session, physical-console/gameplay, save durability, storage probe or performance acceptance was performed.

October 30 publication bases and PR-state update

Historical ecosystem reconciliation - October 29, 2026 (earlier snapshot)

Historical snapshot. Availability and release statements below refer to the earlier baseline. Use the full current refresh and the current register for today’s status.

The C++/ps2build RiptOPL line and the legacy C Open-PS2-Loader line are compared separately at pinned defaults. This reconciliation supersedes older availability wording while retaining every historical stable ID and its evidence. It is research and documentation, not a promise to port each difference.

Baselines and coverage

Checked 141 repository identities / 138 canonical repositories. Of the 134 refs tracked on October 28: 10 changed, 124 unchanged, none unavailable. Seven identities extend that inventory: the current RiptOPL edition, YAOPL new address, OPL-JUMP, and four newly discovered forks. Twelve tracked heads changed since the October 25 full source sweep. Every identity has a release-collection check (up to five entries), including TEST/prerelease entries; five redirects were resolved rather than called missing.

The searchable register has 292 stable records in 44 stable-ID source groups (the prefixes in the source table). It contains overlapping mechanisms, plans, experiments, tools and rejected choices. The 143 families retain the 118 October 25 family numbers and group new child mechanisms; they are not a defect count. Parent YA1 and child YA work items are not additive independent capabilities.

What is already present

Both editions have the merged RIPPS2 A–H integration: All Games, last-10 Recent, Last played sort, Random Game, hidden-game management, guarded game-file cleanup without APA deletion, JPG/JPEG and OPL Manager art aliases, Arabic/Persian shaping and CJK/Thai/Lao breaks, Drive Status/DIAG.TXT, VMC Saves browsing, glyph/weight/interface improvements, reset latches and the MMCE busy-seen wait. Grid and multi-view themes were added afterwards. Generic unified-library, recents, flat-grid and basic RTL rows are no longer described as absent.

The YAOPL hardening batches (RiptOPL #142, legacy #1114) merged history bounds, font terminators, cheat capacity, synchronous disc-key ownership and VMC fragment diagnostics. C++ already had the CNF equals guard; its regression and the legacy guard are present. Native OPL UDPBD/UDPFS IMG launches and the 16 KiB read cap are merged in #153 / #1123. Default still selects Neutrino on those sources. UDPFS Files games can also use the OPL core in both editions (RiptOPL #161, legacy #1134). Not tested on hardware.

Current POPS packages use Okeanos UDPFS Assault TEST with BIN/CUE support. This supersedes the earlier network-only 1.0.0 snapshot, not a restoration of the obsolete USB-first translator. Published driver-release metadata and packaging commits are distinct evidence from a passing network game/save test.

Batch merged after the first snapshot

RiptOPL #162 merged these PRs at 15:18 UTC on October 29, after the first snapshot of this audit; RiptOPL is reconciled at 2b948bc3. Legacy #1133 merged the same changes. Availability is determined from merged commits at the baseline, not an unchecked tracker. The two YAOPL planning PRs use different task numbers; this report uses the RiptOPL #131 / legacy #1105 scheme and spells out each mechanism.

YA-18 read-only UDPBD shipped as the coordinated policy (write check, CFG fallback, no games.bin/folders/settings/VMC, hidden edit controls) together with refused-write-as-success in smap_udpbd, rather than either piece alone. The write check still uses the fixed name opl_write_test.tmp. Favorites/Recent/hidden-list writes were not re-audited here. No probe touched user storage.

YA-11 button remapping was removed upstream before release and remains deferred for an explicit product decision. UDPBD read-yield/SMAP-priority branches are A/B experiments, not demonstrated compatibility fixes.

RIPPS2: released 121, development 124

Released v1.2.1-beta / build 121 is pinned to 29e455b0. GitHub marks that release prerelease=false, while its own product name remains beta. Development main is b682a93cfffc, build 124. The review reconstructed 75 numbered patches on pinned legacy base 65d4b89; it did not execute upstream build/setup scripts or build a console ELF.

Builds 118–121 add ART Pack management, automatic picture cropping in 16:9, info/sidebar refinements, saved-mode boot-sky presentation and the MC boot-sound sidecar/copy offer. An early audio-start attempt was reverted after an upstream lab hang; the released ordering and later build-122 experiment are separated. Development-only additions are launch-disc spin/zoom (122), ART archive merge and recovery handling (123), and per-mode position profiles plus an opt-in thread-wait watchdog (124). The per-mode position profiles have since been ported (RI44, RiptOPL #159 / legacy #1131). None is promoted to a console compatibility fix.

New records RI41–RI47 preserve this released/development split. Existing RI1/RI5/RI19/RI21/RI23/RI35/RI36/RI38 are narrowed around the portions already ported. Disc ripping and HDD partition writes remain declined local scope; the magnified single-pass HD renderer and external-only runtime packaging remain optional design alternatives.

LUNA: follow the wrapper pins

LUNA wrapper b65ec63a pins frontend luna@f640a4e8cfd4, Neutrino fff99d98, native OPL c533f939 and unchanged PSXCore 5d4de02f. The previously tracked frontend main ref is unchanged; reviewing only that ref would miss 17 frontend commits. Published v3.1.3 and its separately pinned hotfix workflow are not automatically the same artifact as this development wrapper.

The actual source now unifies PS1/PS2 whole-card management with raw-format validation, staged byte-verified copies, backup/replace/recover gates and independent PS1 slots. Local creation/assignment and the merged Saves browser overlap but do not provide that entire lifecycle (LU13/LU33/LU35/LU44). Source recovery paths are not proof of power-loss durability.

Additional source comparisons are direction-aware 4 MiB decoded-cover reuse (LU41), paired resident long-argv transport (LU42), and opt-in physical-MMCE switching with session-slot restore in both paired runtimes (LU43). Local async art caching, safe kernel argument refusal, GameID and native IGR already overlap. Do not transplant LUNA loader flags or advertise larger argv without its matching runtime. Crystal menus, camera/background changes and reverted font-spacing work are presentation history, not a missing generic theme engine.

OPL-JUMP and new forks

OPL-JUMP 414674c2 contributes narrower optional loose-shortcut discovery and filename-to-shelf classification (JUMP1/JUMP2). Local tagged Apps, PS1 launching and All Games already exist. The earlier real-function classifier probe remains historical evidence, not a test rerun here: its prefix rule misclassifies a PS2-looking SLUS name and omits SCPS. Never infer launch behavior from shelf membership.

Blayr OPL Custom 7959031a is seven commits ahead of current upstream b3a21997. Source comparison adds BL1 (device-local/shared MC Favorites policy) and BL2 (bounded idle-queue COV/ICO neighbour prefetch). Local Favorites identity/failure handling and art workers overlap. The author distinguishes an older real-PS2 prefetch trial from newer Favorites/UI emulator checks; neither is acceptance for these editions.

The latest 30 upstream OPL forks and latest 30 RiptOPL forks were enumerated. Newly found taisonboxing3-code matches upstream; Diegoprofeta matches the RiptOPL baseline; 1247847495 retains ancestor 6edea174. Blayr is the only new default branch with independent source changes in this bounded discovery. This does not enumerate all historical/private forks or analyze every advertised branch.

Other changed projects and companion boundaries

Evidence files and review limits

• Every tracked/default ref and advertised branch/tag
• Current release metadata, limits and redirects
• Tracked comparison summaries and complete local file manifests for capped comparisons
• Wrapper/runtime pins and reconstruction
• PR snapshot with exact heads and new-fork comparisons
• Every current stable-ID disposition and deduplicated family reconciliation
• Source mechanism review notes and publication validation

GitHub compares cap their file list at 300; some commit lists also exceed 100. Local Git manifests recover complete path counts for RIPPS2 (569), legacy (320), Launchstation (371), Odyssey (328) and PS2SP (3,512). A complete path inventory is not a claim to have audited every changed function. RIPPS2 patch mechanisms and LUNA pinned frontend/runtime deltas received targeted source review; companion/catalogue changes received narrower review as stated.

An unchanged tracked branch preserves the earlier source evidence, not hardware acceptance and not proof that every other branch/tag is unchanged. Every carried-forward register row says so. Both editions have independent baseline SHAs; later merges require a new reconciliation. No target build, emulator/game run, physical console run, storage probe, gameplay/save-durability check or throughput benchmark was performed for this documentation update.

Maintenance contract

The current register, metrics, consolidated families and search index are regenerated from this dated disposition set. Historical October 25/28/29-focused findings retain their URLs and anchors but are labelled historical. Stable IDs are never reassigned. Keep source date, target baseline, release/development stage, pending PR heads and evidence level with every future status change. Do not update only a new prose section while leaving the filterable register stale.

Current consolidated capability/design families

152 stable capability/design families; the earlier 143 family numbers remain. Related children/umbrella records overlap. Per-ID dates and evidence distinguish remaining differences from shared source, closed scope and companion work.

Historical focused refresh — October 29, 2026: YAOPL and OPL-JUMP

Historical snapshot. Current availability is reconciled in the October 29 ecosystem audit and the searchable register; later merged fixes are not missing merely because this dated section says so.

Pinned source audit · Structured findings and host-probe results. Four scoped mechanism/workflow differences follow; historical register totals below remain dated snapshots, not a current total. This section supersedes older recommendations for YA-11.

This is a source comparison of newly changed YAOPL code and OPL-JUMP, not a new ecosystem-wide sweep. It supplements the dated October 25/28 register without rewriting its historical counts or stable IDs. No console/game testing was performed. The small JUMP host probe below checks classification only.

Pinned revisions and provenance

OPL-JUMP identifies its upstream base as OPL revision 2267, 4cc74baabb73be9ca43f817474b321cd70fbcc2d. Its README reports USB/dual USB, traditional HDD, SMB1 and MX4SIO tests by its author; those reports were not reproduced here. Preserve its AFL-3.0 attribution and original OPL notices in any future port.

New or refined differences in both editions

YA-18 port boundary: detection is a design task

YAOPL writes, reads and removes a 512-byte timer-seeded yaopl_write_test.tmp at the UDPBD root. Its separate df65546e patch treats an explicit refused write as completed so FatFs can continue reading; it relies on the subsequent policy suppressing writes. This is not a general-purpose write-success correction. Importing that patch alone could conceal lost writes. A fixed filename opened with truncation also requires collision/ownership review before adoption. Prefer negotiated server capabilities where available; otherwise specify safe probe ownership, cache bypass, error/permission vs read-only distinction and cleanup. No probe was run on user storage in this audit.

Acceptance must include servers that persist, discard, explicitly reject or time out writes; stale cached/probe data; reconnects; unavailable writable CFG locations; game and Apps rename/delete; global settings; games.bin and our other automatic writes; both VMC slots, autolaunch, physical-card fallback and Neutrino/native differences. Track shared CFG identity and avoid edits on writable copies silently affecting read-only launches.

JUMP classification limitations verified on the host

A host C harness compiled OPL-JUMP's actual appIsPS1Launcher() function, with only the app_info_t.boot container stubbed:

The loose-file scanner's separate ps1testIsElf() does check .ELF; do not generalize the Apps predicate's extension limitation to every JUMP code path. The code checks prefix families, not a fully validated PS1 executable ID. These are categorization observations, not launch or hardware results.

Withdrawn and experimental work — do not count as new fixes

• YA-11 button remap was removed upstream by 6faa44e4. It reverts the initial feature, settings and IGR correction because the owner no longer wants the complexity; upstream says it never shipped in a release. Keep our previous task ID/provenance, but defer it for an explicit local product decision rather than treating an active YAOPL feature as missing. DS34 USB ownership fixes remain separate (YA-07).
• New test/udpbd-read-yield, test/udpbd-read-yield-nopadreset, test/udpbd-smap-prio and test/udpbd-smap-prio-nopadreset branches are A/B experiments. The default branch does not contain them. Add them as investigation leads under YA-08, not established compatibility wins or mandatory imports.
• OPL-JUMP's separate portal, L3 button, device-group headings, blue cover frame, Spanish strings and author hardware-test list are presentation choices or evidence context. Our existing unified library, filters, PS1 art and language support overlap these; no separate missing PS1 engine, SMB backend, multi-USB support or generic L3 feature is established.

Existing implementation work remains separate

The recent YA-01/04/05/10/15/16 fixes have independent PRs, not guaranteed default-branch availability. Consult the edition's YAOPL tracking PR (RiptOPL #131 / legacy #1105) and linked PR status. This audit does not mark them merged or hardware-verified and does not re-count them as new October 29 gaps.

Historical status — October 28, 2026

Historical snapshot. Current availability is reconciled in the October 29 ecosystem audit and the searchable register; later merged fixes are not missing merely because this dated section says so.

Pinned: RiptOPL rebuild/main@4dab9cc0, Open-PS2-Loader (legacy) rebuild/main@94e82f2b, RIPPS2 95299389 (build 119). The full record, with file references, is Fork-gap status: 2026-10-28. The ecosystem register below keeps its October 25 statuses; this section supersedes them where they differ. New development is in RiptOPL, the C++ edition.

RiptOPL and the legacy edition

The parity port is merged: RiptOPL #77 (2026-10-27) reached parity with Open-PS2-Loader 38ea46a, and #78 added the matching site pages. The final sweep against 4cfde79c found three Korium-only items on the Korium skin branch (Players badges, Background Art off on a fresh Korium install, the Korium app placeholder); all three were ported inside #77 and are present at 4dab9cc0. Open issues moved to RiptOPL: #1018 to RiptOPL#86, #1036 to #81, #525 to #79, #433 to #80, #987 to #87, #972 to #88, #763 to #82, #690 to #83, #611 to #84, #331 to #85.

Fixes merged on October 27 and 28

A cross-check of every PR merged since October 26 found each fix in both repositories, after three follow-ups.

RIPPS2 audit and port (findings by akilluminati47)

The findings are akilluminati47's, read from RIPPS2's source and changelog and checked against our code. RIPPS2 is a patch stack on the legacy C tree, so each item is a port by hand, credited to akilluminati47 in its commits. Every port lands in both RiptOPL and Open-PS2-Loader; an item that cannot be ported to one of them gets an issue instead.

Feature port, agreed 2026-10-28 and merged in both on 2026-10-28: RiptOPL #99 and Open-PS2-Loader #1084 (all of A to H), with translations in Open-PS2-Loader-lang #2. A the backend rows above and the POPS question; B JPG art, OPL Manager art names, any letter case in listed ART folders; C All Games List with All/PS2/PS1/Apps/Favorites/Recent on L3, device-tagged duplicates, Sort Games: Last played, Recent (last 10) and Random Game; D hidden.txt with Hide Game, and Delete of a game's parts, CFG, art and cheats without APA partition delete; E Arabic/Persian shaping, right-to-left lines and CJK/Thai/Lao line breaks; F Drive Status and DIAG.TXT; G dimmed rows, scroll bar, right-stick peek, button glyph sets, font weight; H POPS copy offer and the VMC Saves page. Host tests only: NOT TESTED on hardware. User guides: Game Library, Drive Status and DIAG.TXT.

Not taken: disc ripping, the CD player, every HDD partition change (relaxed APA fence, BOOT LOCK, BIBLE MBR write) and the Planet N fonts. Ports keep green the RiptOPL tests RIPPS2 breaks on purpose (apa_table_safety, psbbn_flow, igr_polling and others).

Open hardware checks

1. The parity port's 14-row matrix (kits, USB/HDD/network launches, USBLD, VMC saves, RA kits, variant packages, POPS VCD).
2. Korium: Players=2 badge; fresh install starts with Background Art off.
3. Settings save on an empty USB slot; MX4SIO skip on a PCSX2 host: boot with a real MX4SIO boot unchanged; one row per tap on the first press.
4. i.LINK after reset (RiptOPL#86): native, then Neutrino, then POPStarter.
5. UDPFS covers on the first connect (RiptOPL#81).
6. The RIPPS2 port (RiptOPL #99 and Open-PS2-Loader #1084), groups A to H; the MMCE items need an SD2PSX with sd2psXtd firmware.

Historical head check — October 28, 2026

Historical snapshot. Current availability is reconciled in the October 29 ecosystem audit and the searchable register; later merged fixes are not missing merely because this dated section says so.

Every repository ref from the October 25 sweep, 134 in all, was checked again with git ls-remote on 2026-10-28 at 06:28 UTC: 10 changed, 124 unchanged, none unavailable (every ref). Unchanged heads keep their October 25 review. Each changed head was read from its commits; the depth is noted per row. The only register change is the new record YA2, so the register now holds 259 records.

Historical source sweep — October 25, 2026

Historical snapshot. Current availability is reconciled in the October 29 ecosystem audit and the searchable register; later merged fixes are not missing merely because this dated section says so.

Fork gap refresh — October 25, 2026

Baseline RiptOPL 55261de1381ae70ecfdfb2054f9cafbcfcd586cf. Rechecked 128 tracked repository identities / 126 canonical repositories: seven changed, 121 unchanged, zero unavailable. All 128 release feeds were checked. Six newly created upstream forks were also compared; this is a bounded discovery sweep, not a claim to enumerate every PS2 project.

The register now contains 258 stable records and 118 capability/design families. New records: RI34, RI35, RI36, RI37, RI38, RI39, RI40, YA1, NV1, LU40. Five new families cover runtime negotiation, MMCE firmware coordination, artwork interoperability, recent-library navigation and experimental in-game volume. Correctness investigations remain separate from feature families. Earlier IDs, historical dossiers and H11's closed source-parity disposition are preserved.

Changed tracked projects

Newly discovered forks

YAOPL adds substantial hardening and MMCE work. Its 99-commit comparison includes merge commits and shared RiptOPL-derived changes; review by mechanism. The OPL-volume fork adds volume RPC and framebuffer overlay source but labels it uncompiled. Four other new default branches equal upstream, including experiment-native-chd: no CHD implementation is established there.

Evidence and remaining work

Every ref, tracked comparisons, new-fork comparisons, release feeds, RIPPS2 deep dive, every stable ID, deduplicated families, host checks and validation.

Unchanged source heads retain the prior source review. The sweep advertises branches/tags but does not analyze every branch. API comparisons can cap files at 300. No physical PS2 run, gameplay compatibility, save durability or throughput benchmark was performed. No foreign runtime/driver was ported.

Historical October 25 consolidated differences

October 19, 2026 — focused delta audit

This pass compares selected active projects against RiptOPL rebuild/main@2eb0d376 (checked October 19 UTC). It is not a full rescan of every project in the A–Z directory. Git history/code and README capabilities are separate from physical console test evidence.

Newly discovered but not counted as additional gaps: LUNA's OrbitPS2 Manager fork specializes an existing OM-series tool; LUNA's OPL fork implements a second PS2 runtime already selectable in RiptOPL. EonPS2 has no confirmed independent change in this pass; SMB4PS2 is a Samba server wrapper, not a new console protocol.
