I can't seem to get my the directional buttons on my remote control to work with SMS media player. Is it because I use swap magic coder too boot ELF files? or isn't SMS made to function with a remote? I'm not sure which buttons work or not with SMS, but I do know that it can work with a remote to s...

I need some help please. I use Hdloader and managed to get my save files from ps2 to pc. But apparently you need Action Replay or something like that to edit the save file with PS2sidc. Any ideas of how i can do it? Is it do able? If not would someone accept me to email them the files and convert t...

I don't use Xlink or inlink or those programs, just plain ps2client for me, but if you are seeing that then there exists a working connection between your ps2 and your pc. Yes, you're absolutely right. And for those who don't see this, here's a simple explanation: Without a working connection of so...

Oh, convert it to PSU eh... Yes, that will probably work better, since some files inside the Savegame files that you download can't be extracted. I tried using a GTA: Vice city save, but it had "Mission" files which could not be extracted, and therefore you could'nt use them. But the save...

----- snip ----- re: Your gamesave transfer method Anyway, after creating the folder BASLUS-20963FF1202, you go into your PC using the FTP client that's in uLaunchElf and copy the files BASLUS-20963FF1202, Icon.sys and static.ico and place them in the new folder on the mc. Then just pop the gamedisc...

ok, it's going to be a while before I have more time to work on this.. I see. In that case we'll just have to go with the solution of disabling the "FULL_IOMAN" switch in the iomanX module used by uLE, at least for the time being. Please let us know when you have time to work on this stuf...

actually, I'm pretty sure the mass problem is directly related to this. Maybe it is, but the new iomanX module you sent did not eliminate any of the problems, although it did modify the symptoms. The mass: device is still 'lost' for uLE browsing whenever HDD or HOST drivers are loaded, but this sho...

sure enough, I should have thought about that. I emailed another iomanX. I have it now and will proceed with its testing directly. I still need to add iomanX->ioman stat conversion so legacy ioman dreads can be used on iomanX devices I see, but the lack of such support will not affect my tests, as ...

I wonder if the whole thing isn't related to redirecting ioman dread to iomanX dread. Well, it certainly does seem to be involved anyway, though it remains to be seen if that is the whole story. The main difference of the two function prototypes is that the array elements for directory data contain...

A problem with ps2netfs that causes all directories and files on mc to have get messed up names in the listing. That problem is quite likely related to the problem of the messed up names in host: listings, which I reported on after my tests with the experimental iomanx Herben sent me. Also it's imp...

As I've said before, ps2ftpd uses hacks to get the device list. I've committed a modified version of ps2ftpd which does a more intelligent method of getting the device list which should work with all versions of iomanX or simple ioman. Please note that most tests I reported on in my last post, usin...

@Herben: I've now tested the new module you sent, but it still causes the same errors for mass: as we had before, and I also noticed some weird errors for host: as well. Like I said, the mass: errors are exactly as before, including the ability of the FTP server to access mass: properly as seen thro...

Thanks. I've got that RAR now, and will proceed with my testing directly. So I'll be back here with a report ASAP.

Best regards: dlanor

ok, I think I see where this is going now. I'm not exactly sure of the cause but I have some ideas to try out, will see what I can dig up this weekend. Good. I hope it works out. While our current modification works for us, we always prefer PS2SDK to be improved so we can use those libs without any...

do you use fileXio_rpc or the fioXXX functions? We use both, depending on the device to be accessed. So for HDD and PFS we use 'fileXioXxxx' and for most everything else we use 'fioXxxx'. The main launchelf header file likewise refers both to "<fileio.h>" and "<fileXio_rpc.h>". ...

what exactly does "starting MISC/PS2Net" do? what modules get loaded/inited/etc? I'll try to help, if I can. Like EP already said, it's not really the PS2Net driver as such that messed things up, and later experiments have shown that it was the loading of device drivers which caused "...

padx works for me, though I suspect it's still a bit fucked. I don't think the "init" RPC call it makes is really init, for one. I don't know what the data area it sets up is for but I suspect this is more of an "open" call... maybe if I get bored one day I'll finish sorting it,...

I hope it's OK if I butt in on this conversation too. The CDVD driver Pixel mentioned was likely "CDVDDRVR" that I generated from reversing CDVDMAN and splitting the ISO9660 stuff off into a seperate module. So I have CDVDDRVR.IRX and ISOFS.IRX. I've never released them because the code is...

@jbit & EP: I see that you two have been quite busy here lately, and I agree with most of what you've said, but here are some things I'd still like to comment on. I don't like having mcInit(MC_TYPE_RESET) and padReset(). A) I'd prefer mcReset() and padReset() (since they seem to do similar, and ...

----- snip ----- re: PS2SDK going forward, never backing Yes, but finding a workaround first is usually the best first step.:) Sure, and such workarounds can give important clues as to how to take the next step forward. Also, in making an application work it's always OK to take a step back in its us...

Some of the "revert back to old version" ones I won't do, but I'll look into what the problem is and see if i can fix it in the new version. I agree completely on this. PS2SDK should always go forward, never back, even if some recent step forward went astray. As you say, the right thing t...

If you have any fixes for ps2sdk just put them on the forum or message me and assuming they're sane I'll put them in svn when I get time. In the work on uLaunchELF we have developed a number of different fixes for external projects. Some of these relate to parts of PS2SDK, while others relate to no...

Here is how I've attached F9 key to an automatic make+report errors/send binary to console operation : - copy cygwin.bat in order to create cygwin_make.bat (in \cygwin) - at top of cygwin_make.bat, add this line : set AUTOMAKE=ON - in your account directory, add this line in .bashrc file : (assumin...

I haven't had a chance to check this, but it looks like you're right. I committed what I think is the change you suggested. Can you check over the svn log http://svn.ps2dev.org/listing.php?repname=ps2&path=%2F&rev=1369&sc=1 I've just inspected your changes, and I concur with EP. Those a...

great (although I actually never used it), don't hesitate to correct the source in the svn with your modifications :) Actually I think some 'hesitation' on my part is inevitable, as I'm not aware of having write access to SVN, and have never performed such corrections before. With TortoiseSVN I bel...

In my recent work on uLaunchELF I've discovered that two functions in the PS2SDK source file "ee/libc/src/string.c" are bugged in identical ways. The affected functions are "strcpy_sjis" and "strcpy_ascii", which are intended to translate strings between SJIS and ASCII ...

Useful links will go here eventually. Feel free to suggest some. I suggest not just adding some links, but rather reinstating the old subforum organization, or something similar to it. The present method of throwing everything related to PS2 into one huge forum will inevitably make it hard/impossib...

Can you then please tell us what the exact delay is, so we don't have to make dozens of attempts before being allowed to correct our mistakes. Note that each such attempt requires making all corrections completely, only to have them refused again, and again, and again, ad nauseam... If we know the p...

Thanks, tried that it didn't work. bought another lead from game, that didn't work either and they won't take it back! maybe I should buy a new TV :( A new set may or may not help. A lot depends on what region you are in, as that determines what kind of TV sets are sold in your area, as well as the...

help? I'm afraid you've come to the wrong place for such help, as this is not a forum for support of commercial games, but rather the opposite. This site is entirely focused on the development of homebrew programs for the PS2, with special emphasis on the tools required for such development. Since ...
