Trick out your PS2 for $0.00

GT3 doesn't work with HDAdvanced 2.1

I can't explain that one... It works for me with every HDL/HDA I've tried :confused:

What's the hack version?

HDLoader modified with ToxicOS core, designed to boot from a mem card rather than from CD/DVD. ToxicOS is an OS for the DMS4 modchip which enables a lot more functionality. http://www.exploitstation.com/index.php?page=elfs second link from the bottom of the list.

I suggest you check out Alex's website a few posts up. With your retail HDadvance you can install any HDL/HDA onto your memcard & put the HDA discs away !

He's got awesome tut's that will walk you thru step-by-step, to PS2 Independence ! (major props to Alex, your site ROCKS !)

Hope that helps some.

i dont have a mod chip so nothing on the ausdigital site is really valid for me....

im goign to have to wait for the memory card editor to get here

For GT4, I just recreated it by extracting the ISO using DVD Decrypter, applying the patches to CORE.GT4 using toolboy's NTSC pack (his PAL pack dosen't seem to work for me, even though I'm using an original PAL GT4 to rip an image from), then remaking the IML file using CDVDGen, and remaking the ISO using IML2ISO, then uploading the ISO to the HDD using WinHIIP on the PC.

Soul Calibre 2, you can get a patch (PPF3) that should fix the issues with that.

Narkeh, I recreated Midnight club 3, taking out the padding files and removing the Disc check, the ISO is about 3gb (as opposed to 4gb) and works fine (no lockups when going resuming a career from a save). I should probably put up a tute on ps2hd forums but I cbf. Can't get in game music though I just play it on my Xbox, so much easier to rip and retains soundtrack.

Been playing Def Jam - Fight for NY lately... such an awesome game.

Narkeh, you don't need a modchip to run the ausdigital stuff. Just boot up like you usually do, then go into the explorer that I installed on your memory card, and browse the disc and choose the ELF that you wanna run. ELF is sorta like PS2 exe files.

shan - keylauncher no longer loads... goes str8 to HDLoader

[inark]

woohoo

card editor came today... as soon as i get home im gonna get all my mame roms goin

[ed]

damn you guys go to so much trouble compared to games/roms on the xbox.

[inark]

its worth it cause i dont wanna buy an xbox

all microsoft products are easy to pirate...

[ed]

haha, to each their own I guess.

Out of interest, can you play divx/rmvb/mpeg/avi on the softmodded PS2?

[inark]

so ive been told... im still trying to figure out how to set the thing up...

[ed]

oh, let me know if you do

[inark]

shan - how he *** do u create or edit the BEDATA-SYSTEM file on the memory card so i can add the MAME thing to it and a few other elfs... or do u just dump the elfs onto the memory card???

[funkymonkey]

you've been f**kin with the default load settings for keylauncher havent you?

anyways, I put a ftp client in you BEDATA-SYSTEM that should allow you to FTP into your memory card using the ethernet port on IP 192.168.1.85. you can then get into BEDATA-SYSTEM and put the ELF file in there if you want it to be on your memory card, or you can use the DMS HDD Format tool I put on there to create a useable Unix partition and put the file in there.

Where'd you get the memory card editor from? how much and what type? The one I have is startin to shit me as parallel port is so unreliable.

ed, i've got an Xbox as well, I play Midnight club on that as the game is slightly faster, and the graphics are a bit quicker with less polygons getting stuffed (check out the tyre well and when your car hits the ground off a jump on PS2)... plus the soundtrack works when you rip the Xbox ISO. But there's some games that are PS2 exclusive, like GT4, D1GP etc, and makes it all the more worthwhile.

[inark]

yeah but what prog do i use to edit that data file?

i got the same one u did... the EMS thing with the data cable... there was a USB one too but it was more expensive.

i havent touched the files... it all ***ed up 2 days after i started using it and eylauncher loaded HDLoader instead without any input... not a huge issue but i cant do much else other than play games and dump games on the HDD... got about 18 now.

its causing me to loose too much sleep tho... too many to chose from.

[FATAZZ]

man,i just wana race someone on GT4.........

i just ran 8's in my 93 GTR N1 on GT4 Sweeet!!!

[funkymonkey]

what have you got, I just put tekken 5 on... mmm tekken 5.. works fine with no repacking etc. bring your HDD over for a leeching. I got Midnight Club 3 working fully and shaved a gig off the iso as well... I'll chuck it on your HDD and delete it coz I got it on my Xbox, the game loads fast, the graphics are smoother, and the soundtrack works unlike the PS2.

[inark]

i dont want it if it has no soundtrack...

Got...

armoured core 3 (vs mode doesnt seem to work tho)
