from what i can gather i can dump ps2 games not only through having a ethernet ps2 > comp but i can also have it where the ps2 is a lan port and my computer is in a lan port. using hdl_dumb i put the ip from the hd advance ip screen (192.168.1.110) and connecting.. buttt that didnt work for me uh an suggestions, am i doing something wrong? also i thought winhiip could do this the newest one, but it never lets me enter the ip for the ps2 just keeps it grayed out and does socom 3/star wars battlefield 2 require patches?
hi cannot answer your first question. i have no idea as for the games needing patches - only if you play them online socom 3 (back up) will not play online though.
oh i didn't realize i crossover cable was just an ethernet cable.. yeah i tried putting that between my ps2 and computer. then i followed the instructions that game with hd advance 3.. i held a button while hd advance booted and that brought up the hd advance server screen. then i changed my ip to 192.168.1.xxx whatever it told me to. then i opened up hdl_dumb and tried to dump it but it wouldnt connect.
There are two kinds of ether net cable crossover - this cable is used for adhoc connections eg, pc to another pc or pc to ps2. Straight thru - this cable is used for infrastructure eg router to pc Youll need the crossover ethernet cable
U did start up there server on your ps2 right? i think you hold a button down, dont go thru your router just connect it str8 to ur pc.
yeah i did that.. but with a regular ethernet cable not a crossover cable allthough i really dont see a difference :-?
The difference is it wont work man, for ps2 to pc you NEED crossover, anything i tell you wont help it work till you have the cable.
