being a recent noob myself, and having to spend hours looking at hundreds of posts to get information i found a bit confusing and frustrating

therefore i have gone thru the some of the PS2 boards here at AfterDawn
and have put alot of the Guides / Tutorials into 1 guide or e-book (since its over 130 pages long).

i have uploaded 2 versions 1 PDF and one DOC (word 97-2003)

all credits go to the original authors.

the only things i'd like to see come of this would be.

1. this be made a sticky cos this compilation of guides would be VERY VERY handy for noob and save alot of frustration looking everywhere.


I think that if updated this book would be an essential part of everyone collection (i hope)

here are the links

Unofficial PS2 Guide WORD Version
Unofficial PS2 Guide PDF Version

no password

i hope this helps any noobs out there.

P.S. All credit goes to the original authors of each tutorial, AfterDawn.com and eveyone who contributes to the ever growing quest for knowledge.

****update****
i learned how to edit my posts, so here is version 1.0 aswell. Sorry only PDF version.

simmo2302 You don't deserve to be a NOOB.

thanks, i spent quite a few hours looking everywhere for these tutorials, theres about 20 i think, i m sure i may have missed a few here or there.

ended up staying up to midnight putting it all down, only go get up 4 work at 5am the next day lol.

i would like to see this book expanded.

i think because there is soo many programs named in that book, i'll go round looking for all the relevant programs and more, and put them in 1 place aswell, perhaps in a rapidshare folder so ppl can download each individually or all together.

anyway off to work, i hope this helps ppl

Are you referring to the files I have on rapidshare. They are free downloads. I have quite a lot of files there, so would rather have them there.
If you have a download accelerator like DAP you can get all my stuff from my folder or should be able to. Just right click the file and save as DAP.
Let me know if you have an issue and I will put it on my site then.

Actually I meant about the whole deal of one file per an amount of time on rapidshare, So to download everything there I'd have to wait a lot, I prefer if someone put them (at least temporary) on a normal HTTP and I'll put them online on my site...

Thanks :)

I have no clue if your still updating this guide or not, but I just thought that you should add this anyway.

Tape and tissue mod for PS2 and Swap Magic

keep in mind, This isn't my guide, but I did find it somewhere around these forums. This guide should help those people who don't want to buy a mod chip and is willing to tinker with their slimline PS2 a little bit in order to boot up back ups. you still need to buy swap magic though.

How do u get the USB flashdrive to load on the PS2?

You will need to have your ps2 modded, or by using Swap Magic, then using uLaunch you can access your usb flash drive.
Another way is if you have Ar Max with the media player.

thanks

Have you formatted your usb drive with FAT32? If so and it still doesn't recognize it, then it may not be compatible.

First before your account gets frozen, you should read the Forum Rules.
Pay attention to #5

To edit your post, click the top right icon and edit your links out.

What type of disks do you burn FIFA 08 too and at what speed.
Could just be the quality or the burn

I personally don't like using Alcohol for PS2 DVD,for CD or PS1 games its ok.

Should just stick with Imgburn for PS2 DVD and burn at 4x speed.

Anyway for the second one thats already rebuilt should work fine with your modchip.
So no, you don't need to anything but just burn it to DVD.

The reason some rebuild them is so they will work with Swap Magic. Swap Magic has issues with some backups that are 4.37GB in size or thereabouts, so they rebuild it so the TOC is smaller.

ok thanks
so I'll write it using imgburn directly!
thnx so much!

I don't really have much respect for people who don't use proper punctuation, but you are an exception. Good job simmo!
