ok it worked. Is there any proper way to operate the hard drive on the PS2. when I turn it on and off. remember this is like a computer hard drive. If I do it the wrong way. the hard disc might damage.

And so you did say on the PS2 lol.

Off day, can't read.

I was talking about the hard drive on ps2. do I just turn on and turn off with out doing any thing?

Lol, sorry

Yes you just turn it on and off.

How can I do cheat with HDD??

You can copy Codebreaker10.elf to your mc,or usb drive and launch it using uLaunch 4.12

But to use it you also need to have your hdloader.elf on the mc, usb drive(mass) or hdd and it has to be renamed to CB_launch.elf (just like I have it) inside a BOOT folder.

It will look like this:




You only need to have it in one of those locations.

Is there anyway that I can load the HDD once I turn on my ps2?

Here is waht I like to do:
1. load cheat with gameshark
2. load HDloader(I don't know how to start the exploit after gameshark)
3. start the game

The way you have your PS2 exploited, the only way really is to use the codebreaker.elf thats patched for hdloader.

If your ps2 had a modchip or you had a hdadvance/hdloader retail disk you could then.
1. Boot PS2 with GS2,Xploder or CB.
2. Choose the game codes.When the tray eject put HDL/HDA disc.
3. After HDL/HDA loaded just select the games from the hdd list and press X.The game will load with the cheat codes enable.

Since you said you ordered Swap Magic, you can load elf files from your USB drive automatically or manually.

AUTO-Loading your own programs from USB Mass Storage Devices:

- rename the ELF program you want to launch to SWAPMAGIC.ELF
- create a folder named SWAPMAGIC in the root directory of your USB mass storage device and then put the SWAPMAGIC.ELF file in that folder
- plug in the USB mass storage device into your PS2
- power on your PS2 with your Swap Magic disc
- if the program is found in "./SWAPMAGIC/" it will be launched automatically



MANUAL-Loading your own programs from USB Mass Storage Devices:

- you can have a maximum of 4 files in the "./SWAPMAGIC/" folder at the same time. You will need to rename these ELF program files to the following respectively:
- SMBOOT0.ELF
- SMBOOT1.ELF
- SMBOOT2.ELF
- SMBOOT3.ELF

- plug in the USB Mass Storage Device to the USB port of your PS2
- power on your PS2 with your Swap Magic disc
- after booting up your PS2 with the Swap Magic disc, you will see a "BOOT DISC" window
- select "SMBOOT" and you will see another window "LAUNCH SMBOOT"
- select the program file and press "X" to run the program.


So say if you wanted hdloader to load automatically, you could rename hdloader to SWAPMAGIC.ELF and put it in a folder as described above

Then when you load the Swap Magic and usb drive in, it would load your hdloader automatically.

Or read the Swap Magic Coder Manual to show you how to install elf files to mc using naplink or by cd install.

Well never mind. so far so good. I got HD working. for the cheat I will just use the disc. thanks

Ok no problem.

Hey guys, i have a v7 ps2, now can i build a memory card exploit that will allow me to play psx/1 backup or do i have to buy breaker pro or gameshark 2 v2 psx disc? - I'm really trying to avoid this though.

With the V7 PS2, you would have to buy the Breaker Pro or Gameshark 2 as the PSXlauncher.elf only works for V9 and up.

Thanks a lot, again, smokyrain.

the gameshark2 must be a v2 psx disc, so the new ones in store will not work. it's the method i use for my psx backups.

Does DVD-RW work with cogswap or swap magic??? RW

It may or may not work, and it is not recommended as it is terribly hard on the laser.
Best bet is DVD-R, or if you use DVD+R, make sure to set your BOOKTYPE in your burning software to DVD-ROM.

ok! When I install a backup game from computer, the game freezes in the harddrive all the time. why is that?

Did you try setting different modes for the game, usually mode 3 fixes things.

Which hdloader.elf are you using.
