i have an extra 80GB Western Digital HD that i would like to instal in my ps2. i have been trying to downlad multiple versions of Swap Magic and HD Loader and burning them to cd's and dvd's but nothing is working..=[ i gots a 1GB flash drive 8MB memory card (PS2), a ton of CD-R's and a few TDK (not sure if the brand matters) DVD+R's, a 160GB Western Digital HD and the 80GB one i dont know what eles i need and how to make it work so if some could please help me... =]
well, i just made a cd-r for the mc exploit and now i need something to boot it up, anything but a modchip, i was going to burn HDLoader 0.8b using nero but i dont have any cd rw's, not till tommorow oh, and i was wondering if there was any such thing as softmodding for the ps2? and if it could help at all, all i really wanted to do was burn games to the HD in the ps2 and boot them from it
You can do this, but you are rushing. Sloow down. Check out this guide on ExploitStation. All the PS2 apps you need can be found at SKSApps.com You NEED at least 1 or 2 original PS1 games, a FAT PS2, a PS2 network adapter, an original Action Replay Max for PS2, and a ton of patience. Your Western Digital HD might not connect to the network adapter right away. Western Digital's HD connector on the back has a different spacing than most drives. You might have to modify the network adapter to make it fit. I've done this, it works, but it's a pain in the ass. I recommend a Seagate or Maxtor drive. Patience!
ive alredy modded the network adapter for the HDD and it fits, i am working on geting the action replay max but my mom thinks this is a waist of time and im having a hard time comeing up with the money by myself, so i guess ill just have to wait on that.
I missed the part where you said you are downloading Swap Magic. A burnt copy of Swap Magic will not work, just like a burnt game doesn't work.
ok, ive just bought the action replay max disc w/ usb and what not now that is all i will need right?
Yer set! Just refer to my link (above) to the guide on Exploitstation for instructions. Keep us posted! You don't need swap magic to run your HDD. You can run your games from your HDD. Patience!
hey can anyone tell how can i put these elf files in the memory card of my ps2. well how can i transfer to it files. is it with the pc or ps2. please someone tell me how.
You can read instructions, right? This explains what the Exploit is. Read it. Click Here Here is a list of instructions: Click Here If all else fails, Google is your friend.
ok, i have the newer version of armax and it wont load anything from the flashdrive, so what do i do now for the mc exploit?
You have to create your exploit setup and burn it to cd. Use the AR max Media Player to load the .ELF file. That starts off the whole thing! There are a few good exploit creators on SKSapps.com. Be sure to include a dummy file on the disk, or your PS2 might not read it at all. If you did it right, you should be able to startup your PS2 with your trigger disc, and the exploited memory card, and it will boot to your bootloader. From there, you customize, add HDloaders, emulators, etc. The most recent version of ulaunchelf reads USB memory devices. If you boot with your trigger disc, and it boots up the PS1 game instead, you did it wrong. Back to the drawing board.
yeah, i burned it and everything but there is no media player on my ar max am i just to retarted and cant find it or w/e or do i have the wrong version of action replay max, im not sure if an update would work ive been having problems connection to the internet with my ps2 also and im not sure how to update it otherwise
AR MAx should have some sort of media player in it, kinda like windows media player. It allows the PS2 to eject the disk and play .mp3 files, and a neat exploit that allows it to run .elf files. It's late here, goin' ta bed. I'll see if I can find some other links for guides 'n stuff later. Search this forum, it's the rectangle up at the top right of this page. Use search terms like: PS2, AR Max, Exploit, CDLoader, PS2 HDD, etc.
