:rolleyes: heya

as posted by the man - bigdatto in his other thread (trick out ps2 for $0)

The good people at AusDigital have released an all-in-one GUI based Exploit disc compiler to make life VERY easy for everyone. details at http://www.ausdigital.net/

All you need now is a PSX disc, PC, CD burner, PS2 & memcard, net adaptor & IDE HDD. Brain no longer required.

well....I'M BLODDY LOST

i have the above things (ps2, ps1 game, PC, burner, ps2 + memcard, official network adaptor thing and a hard drive hooked up.)

but i dont know what to do next. i want to be able to copy things (games/movies to the hard drive as the laser is getting crappy.

i've been trying everything, searching all over the web but still nothing

please help me.

the closest i've come is finding places that want to sell me some cd magic thing that comes with a slide tool or "hdloader" as i have read about here and other places lots, that allows you to do the swap but i figured that was before my "brain was no longer required"

sorry to look like a noob ;)

help

Alright, i'm at this point and i need further assistance...

I have been following the instructions at lookatthemonkeys.com:

1. I ran titleman.exe using the SCES info on my PS1 disc.

2. I ran CDGenPS2.exe and made an ISO of the required files.

3. I burned the ISO generated onto a CD.

4. I have 2.5MB free on my memory card.

5. I insert the SwapMagic CD and wait for the main screen.

6. I use the slide tool to open the PS2 CD drive.

7. I place in the burned CD.

8. I close the PS2 CD drive & use the slide tool to lock it in place.

9. I press "X" on the controller and I get a blank screen that never does anything.

I assume this final stage is where it is meant to copy the required files onto the memory card so that if the PS1 game is in the drive it will load .ELF files off the Memory Card.

If I put the .ELF file onto a USB memory stick and have that in the PS2 USB port while Swap Magic is loading up it will automatically load the .ELF file on the USB memory stick, but then it has problems with CDVD.IRX. I assume they need to be on CD or it won't work.

i am using swap magic 3.6

anyway, yeah

help

cheers dudes

Sounds like you're doing everything right. Did you place a dummy file (50-100meg) in the disc image ? Ps2 might not be able to read the disc if the image is too small. I've experienced problems with some media also. $ony CDR's just won't read at all, surprise surprise.

I still advise you to get the Ausdigital compiler. It works faultlessly every time.

Patience will reward you, Jedi.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By MBS206 · Posted

      TBH, it sounds like the threads on the bolt are fubar in a specific section. Most likely as you've been working it back and forth it has torn threads out, as you loosen the bolt, this section enters the nut, now you're spinning a round shaft inside the nut, there's no threads here.   Use something similar to a claw on a hammer that will fit either side of the bolt head and try to apply downward force while also undoing it. The idea is to attempt to catch a thread, or just rip the f**ker out. Caution on ripping out, as it could bend/maime/mangle what the captive nut attaches to. If the captive nut is actually okay, you could do the dirty part of cutting the head off the bolt, then cut a slit in the end of the thread that's now exposed and then screw it up and into the area the captive nut is until it falls out the other side. However, this does risk the remainder of the bolt rusting over time and damaging near the captive nut and also making it rust. However, so can cutting pieces of panel work out to access this area if you don't reseal it properly.

      Rb25 det nitto washer crank gear

      Well, every piece of information on that part when you track it back to Nitto says it's for a KIT of theirs. It is also designed thicker to be stronger. And they speak about a specific harmonic balancer bolt they supply for the whole setup.

      Techniques for removing stuck bolts are: hitting the bolt head with a hammer, heating the bolt to red hot then letting it cool and working it back and forth like you are already doing. AFAIK the idea is to try to crush whatever material is stuck between the threads (and heat also melts locktite but that's almost certainly not relevant in this case).

      Yuh, I think it works with the Nitto gear only. I presume that you're not also using the Nitto gear? Watch the video. Compare the interface between the Nitto gear and washer (on the gear side) vs the stocker and decide if you think the Nitto gear is different from stock there.

      Liking the new charger, battery all good (I think).   Also like how you can put it in power supply mode too. Will troubleshoot with that sometime soon.
