I am quite new to the whole .elf thing i have swap magic 3.6 plus i got it mainly due to the fact you could load elfs on the usb memorystick and everytime i put it in nothing happens and i labeled the elf as told to "swapmagic.elf". i have also tried to make cds and none have worked. i did get one to work and it installed then everytime it started up naplink which i did not want. but frm this could i get other elfs onto the hd(80gb) and use launch elf to run other elfs. Any good tutorials would be great! thanks,
ok..i've been having the same problem as you with swapmagic 3.6 and its support for elfs through usb. The problem i can think of is unsupported usb flash drives. I then looked for another method..which you have also mentioned which is the SMBOOT method that you download and burn it onto a cd and us swapmagic to load it and install the elfs into ur mem card. Yes that works, but i dont want those apps on my mem card, i want apps of my own like hdloader, etc. So here is the solution. I've have wasted over 20 cds before i successfully am able to boot the SMBOOT. A few programs you may need in order to complete this task: CDVD GEN 1.50 (can be found at ps2nfo.com) IML2DVD (can be found at backuptools.co.uk which is made my SONIX(great person)) UltraISO (use yahoo or google search, common programs, jus download the trial version..it will be jus fine) Nero (or any iso burning program to burn the modified iso) Ok here it goes, this method will require to to rebuild the ISO. First put all your elfs file into the include SMBOOT folder and delete all the uneccessary files withing the SMBOOT but jus dont delete the FILE.LST. After you deleted all of your FILExx(FILE00-FILE07), renamed your elfs file into FILExx(xx being the numbers 00-how many elfs u have, but with SMBOOT, 4 is best, FILE00-FILE03.)Now to to the FILE.LST and open it with NOTEPAD or u can just make yourself a new one with a fresh NOTEPAD. And this is what you gotta do: FILE00=SMBOOT0.ELF;1(program'snamehere) Use that format with all your corresponding file, let say u also have FILE01 too, just add another line to it like this FILE00=SMBOOT0.ELF;1(program'snamehere) FILE01=SMBOOT1.ELF;1(program'snamehere) NOTE: the SMBOOT ALSO GOES FROM SMBOOT0 to SMBOOT1, when u add anotehr one make sure it goes from SMBOOT2, etc. OK, so now you are ready to make the iso. OPEN up CDVD GEN 1.50, it will ask you about making new or load existing projects. MAKE NEW PROJECT is your choice, then when it ask bout the project type, chose CD-ROM MASTER DISC. Next, the order of files don't really matter but these are the files you will need to put in: SMBOOT (the folder which contains your FILE.LST and FILExx) INSTALL.ELF SYSTEM.CNF DUMMY all these files are contained in the SMBOOT.zip which u have downloaded (jus make sure the files and file.lst in the SMBOOT are modified like i have already explained above) BACK to CDVD GEN 1.50, Now you will have to make IML, but before that you will have to put in a Disc ID, to do that go to VOLUME on teh tab. i figure anything will be fine, i just put something like SLES 121212 for my. OK after that, go to File, then Export IML file. NOTE that if you used the IML2DVD program to make the iso, when its finished, make sure the files are 9 out of 9 complete. BUt obviously after so many tries, only 8 out of 9 files are complete so this is where UltraISO comes in. Open the ISo which u just make with IML2DVD regardless of the 8 of 9 files completion. In UltraISO, when u put the modified iso in, double click on the iso and click YES to whatever is asked. NOw u will see all the files there, except SMBOOT folder is empty if u clicked on it. what u can do is jus Delete the SMBOOT folder, and then copy the SMBOOT folder from the smboot dir which u modified SMBOOT folder and paste it into the iso. After that once u see the SMBOOT folder in UltraISO, double click on it, and make sure all the files are in there this time. ONe last step, rename all the filesxx(not the FILE.LST) u have in there that are FILExx to FILExx., just add a period to each of them. Now close Ultra ISo and USE nero or anything iso burning software to burn the iso to a cd and load it with swapmagic 3.3 or 3.6 and it will install those elfs into your Mem Card. Thats it! There is an easy way of doing it, but as for now, I'm just trying to be as detailed as possible so if you got stuck anywhere, just let me know.GOOD LUCK!!! Tutorials Made by aZnONE. -aZnONE
