Thanks a lot. Maybe I'd better change to the PS2 Link. But should I buy a new slim ps2? If you buy a new PS2 it should work with PS2Link as well. But there is no forcing reason to do it. The old one will suffice. I mean is it work? if I just add the network adapter into my old big ps2 PS2Link works...

@neofar: I haven't really followed PSP developments, as I have no use whatever for that console myself (or any other handheld console), but I can't believe that installing the PSPDEV stuff will help "FuLong", as he asked for help with the PS2DEV installation. Of course, it may be useful to...

Hi, I am in the designing stage of one project. I want to diagnose a PC from a remote location when the PC is in OFF state. So the BIOS POST result should be accessed. 1) USB device cant be used as it will be violating USB 2.0 spec. and BIOS should be modified which is a risky process 2)PCI card ca...

hi, thnx for the reply. I got the EE part compiled :) (it didn't complain at least, didn't check if there are missing symboles ... ) Even so, you still can't make any real changes to the lib without full control over the IOP part too. If it were just a case of wanting the lib in its present state, ...

Hi, I downloded libcdvd 1.15 from ps2dev website but I had quite a headach trying to build it ... at least the iop part I get these errors ----- snip ----- re: compilation error list I'm not sure if the makefile you used is identical to mine, but if it is, then it contains references to $(PS2LIB) e...

I have an usb port on my ps2 but when i plug the usb in the ps2 doesn't detect it why? The PS2 itself has no software support for any USB devices, it only has the port, but actually using it is up to the software you run, whether that be commercial games or homebrew programs (such as we develop her...

I have a max media disk for backing up and copying ps2 saves to the computer via the psp and vice versa.Can I use this to install the independence exploit to my ps2?A lot of the tutorials were really confusing me.Basically I can copy a ps2 game save to my memory card, will this work. Yes it will, i...

Do you know why am I having problem with the mkdir -p $PS2SDK? $ mkdir -p $PS2SDK mkdir: missing operand Try `mkdir --help' for more information. Let's first clarify what that command means: You ask the command interpreter to expand the environment variable $PS2SDK into a whatever string it has bee...

Ah, I see, fantastic! Thanks :) The UI could technically just be "Press X to copy all files over", if really necessary. Of course, I wouldn't mind doing something a bit flashier, but hey, that's what alpha is for! : In fact several homebrew applications already exist which can copy PS2 ga...

I burned two files ps2link.bin & ps2link.cue on a CD (just by coping files and then pasting in the CDR, then clicked on 'write these files on CD', its not a 'BOOT Cd' ). The CUE+BIN files are not intended for storage as such files on a CD filesystem at all. Instead they contain an entire CD fil...

When ps2client opens a file, it doesn't 'accept' one type of slash or the other - it just passes it on (relatively) unchanged to the open() call provided by the local system. There really isn't anything to change as it was kept as simple as possible for reasons like this. I know, but when host: is ...

Hello, After releasing a GUI for hdl_dump for Mac OS X, I'm planning to do the same for ps2client, with the first goal of releasing something to communicate with SMS and ULE. But I can't make my elflist.txt to work. If I put on it something like : /Volumes/Media/Movies but I can't see anything in S...

When I first started with PS2Dev I used an earlier version of this "standalone" PS2Dev environment, and I too had similar problems as you describe. I know of only one real cure for them. You need to execute make from bash, instead of doing it from the command interpreter of Windows. When m...

hi guys! I read/heard that 120gig's is the max recognizeable HD Size. Obviously this is more than you will ever need for homebrew purposes, but just out of curiosity what is the Maximum size? I would like to know for when I go to by a drive. The difference in price between 80-160 is so minimal, I j...

I can't speak for everyone, but it seems that there are already projects distributing precompiled parts of the ps2sdk with their programs. I can't imagine there would be any problems with you or anyone else doing the same. Good. I thought so too, but I wanted some confirmation from others here too....

I'd like both a general answer and a specific one to some issues raised in the subject line. I'll start with the specific case: uLaunchELF normally uses the current PS2SDK version of usbd.irx for its access to mass: (with a slightly modified usb_mass.irx), while also allowing the loading of external...

hello, i'm new to the ps2dev scene... i dloaded cygwin with the mentioned packages and then compiled the ps2sdk with the toolchain.sh file... now how do i run the package n how do i start writing some code?... I'm not sure exactly what you mean, as the gnu compilers for PS2Dev accept the same kind ...

i need some help running infogb i am running it off a usb device i start the elf file and the screen comes up and i need to choose a directory to where the rom file is, but i cant seem to find the usb device in the directory it just takes me to mc:0 and my roms are on the usb device Thanks for the ...

Problem solved guys! I just used old libhdd IRX's that I got from PGEN! I am now wondering why the new lib is not formatting the HDD properly... *sigh* This may mean "problem solved" for your current project, but it means the opposite for the homebrew community as a whole. It is the new d...

This thread made me interested in finding out more on how those two 'hddCheck*' functions really work, so I started looking/searching in the sources. Apparently they are both remapped/wrapped to fileXioDevctl calls in nearly identical manner, as shown by this small excerpt from "$PS2SDKSRC/ee/r...

My [friends] ps2 won't work anymore. The front LED just flashes red/green and it won't play any games/dvds anymore. This happened out of nowhere, it was not modified or even opened up in anyway. Your information is a little too sparse to give any real clues, and at least two points must be clarifie...

As yet there is no support for the CDDAFS filesystem in LaunchELF.
It is one of many planned additions, but we haven't gotten around to this one yet...

Best regards: dlanor

I am currently modifying the HOST interface for uLaunchELF, and have successfully implemented the new functions of current ps2client and ps2link sources (Remove, Mkdir, Rmdir). But I also want to implement a way to rename files/folders on HOST. The only 'correct' way of doing this for a fileio drive...

@dlanor: maybe it's because volume control? (formely SMS set full sound at startup, now it's < 1/2 and it's adjustable via up/down buttons). You're right that this was my main 'problem'. When I boost the internal volume gauge of SMS to nearly its maximum, I get what I consider a 'normal' level (app...

All the new improvements to video rendering and the GUI are great, of course, but I've just noticed that something odd has happened to the sound. I haven't noticed it much in recent tests because I wasn't testing the sound, so having it low was what I wanted anyway to decrease distractions. But it i...

Gah! That would be my code, sorry. I'll add a hack into the makefile to check for the IOP compiler version now. Good, that should at least solve the immediate problems. I use iop-gcc 3.2.2, and it works fine. I don't have any problems with IRXs that "simply don't work properly". All the I...

In attempting to compile the current PS2SDK sources I get the following results: iop-gcc -O2 -G0 -c -I/usr/local/ps2dev/ps2sdk_src/iop/kernel/include -I/usr/local/ps2dev/ps2sdk_src/common/include -Iinclude -Wall -fno-builtin-printf -fno-builtin-memcpy -std=c99 src/ps2snd.c -o obj/ps2snd.o iop-gcc&am...

i think it now supports dlanor's bios :) and it works with another ROMFS images. I can confirm that it works fine for me now, with all the BIOS versions I have (only 3, so others need to test this too). auto-generation of subfolders will be implemented in next release. Great, that eliminates the ri...

Good, I thought that was the case, but actually I think it goes a bit further than that. I really believe that this is how subfolders are implemented in the rom0: device driver. There is no support for "subfolders" or directories in the ROM filesystem. If you say so, then I have no real a...
