I don't know what you want. X-Window is already running. Window maker is not part of deba5er's version. If nobody has a backup of the files from the Blackrhino server, all files are lost.

In my final ISO I forgot to copy the correct win3 script. So NTSC may not work correctly. The ISO must be recreated to fix this.

I will check out GSModeselector and try to put it into Linux or kernelloader.

Playstation 2 Linux Live DVD

To get around all the USB problems on the slim PSTwo, I created a Live Linux DVD. I used the files from deba5er to create it. There is no modchip required. I don't know if this works when you have modchip.

My assumption is that DVD access is not working. Kernelloader tries to read a configuration from a disc if no configuration can't be found on the memory card (mc0). This behaviour is implemented since version 1.8. So version 1.6 shouldn't have this problem (which doesn't fit to the first post, maybe...

The files "usb.c" and "usb.h" are part of the new USB initialisation on IOP side. I've forgot to add these files to CVS. It should now work. There should be no LIBSD patch needed, when using the new intrelay module.

USB heavy load has still problems. When I use the new modules, it doesn't hang, but writes wrong data to the USB memory stick. I assume that writing the data from EE to IOP memory fails. So the OHCI chip reads random garbage from IOP memory and writes it to the USB bus. You can get the new version f...

There is no pfs support for Linux 2.6 available. At least you can use apascan to mount Linux partitions on hard discs with the Sony partitioning scheme.

So you can directly install PS2 Linux using your xubuntu.

The ps2link connection sometimes looses lines if you print too much. You should also modify a printed line to verify that your code reaches the target.

I forgot that Linux has the full support for it on the fat PS2, but at least the IDE ATAPI CDROM driver need to be enabled.
On the slim PSTwo it may work with v12 if you have the hardware extension, but it will not work with v14 or higher.

So the eromdrvloader.irx problems are not caused by modchips.
