When I start SDL Apps I just get a black screen.
Even the SDL Test Apps like testjoystick and testver won't start. After that, I have to manually reset the PS2. I started those via ps2client. However, the gsKit basic test app, and the 3d Reflectin Demo start and run normally. I guess it is something SDL related.
Could it be that SDL want to start in NTSC mode, while I am using PAL ?

Any ideas other ideas ?

Thanks and BR

You're using an old version of ps2link which loads SIO2MAN/MCMAN/etc modules and keeps them loaded when it calls the application. SDL seems to want the newer modules and resets the IOP if it finds the old ones, when reseting the IOP it removes the modules required for ps2link to function
Newer versions of ps2link should fix this.
