the fist page of this thread has a link to download a Boot disc.....but this link no longer works....how can i get the boot disc and is their other sites with this kinda info
It's not the link to Stinky's disc, but an ever better one: http://www.tna.sksapps.com/ (Click the 0.3 version) (Password is "TnA Beta 0.3 Final - Image (www.ps2tools.de)" without the quotes, and no, me not giving out the password/link is not illegal or anything, the whole thing comes from this site: http://web02063.prolocation.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=12927&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15) It basically has everything you'd ever need for your PS2, from modchip firmware to elfs (just about every elf, updated, ever made). And you can also use it on your computer b/c it has some useful PC programs like WinHIIP and Apache. The file is pretty hefty, so I burned it to DVD using Stinky's instructions and it works for me (along with some mp3's and roms).
I dont see how you can consider this disk to be "way better" than mine. All he did was bloat it up with every single homebrew app made for the PS2. I choose to stick to apps that everybody would want, and leave enough space for all your roms. You were always able to add any other apps to my disk that you wanted. Did this guy ever get the launchelf config file reading off the CD? that is where I left off last time. At the time that I made my disk (2 years ago!!) no elf booting app supported disk booting. Everyone told me it was impossible. And that I need to quit or buy a mod chip that suppoted it. This guy is just a rip off artist! Taking my disk, loading it with more apps and adding the newest version of launchelf (which my disk had at the last update). It would be fine, if the guy just gave some credit where it was due. But whatever. He can do his things. I could not offer the disk for free and answer all the questions I was getting, and still have a life. Hopefully his disk works for you. I sold my PS2 now, so I am not going to be doing any more support or modding for it. I am currently working on support for homebrew on a 2.6 firmware PSP. Maybe when I get somethign worth sharing this guy can rip that off too and take all the credit!
It's not really a "rip-off" of "your" boot disc because the guy started it in [bold]October of 2004[/bold], which is before you started your first thread (where you didn't even know how to do it), and now, burning a disc with LaunchELF is very common knowledge, just about anybody at any PS2-burning-related forum will tell you how. And how do you know if people don't want just "your" apps? Did you ever ask them if they wanted more? And if they want more roms, all they have to do is burn them separately on a disc and then swap them for the boot disc when you want to play the roms (as in the SNES emulator).
swap a disc???!! are you mad!!? The whole point of my disk was to make it so you NEVER had to open the CD tray of your ps2 again. ANd I would say I succeded. Since I Made my disk my tray only opened maybe 2 or 3 times. ANd YES I did ask what people wanted! But thank you for your concern. Dont get me wrong, Im glad you found a disk that is "so much better" than mine. That means I wont have to deal with all your questions on how to get it to work. Or other peoples as well. My disk started for me, I made it for me from the ground up. I made it at a time when everyone said it was not possible. When I was done and it worked, people asked how I did it. I layed it out in english on the process to make it..... it seemed people had a hard time figuring it out. SO I made a downloadable disk to save people the trouble. I offered it all for free. I did that for over 1 year. Then people got lazy. They wanted me to practically come to their house and set it all up for them, so they didnt have to worry about it. ANd some idiots started asking if they could use it with no mod chip, or if they could download swap magic and use that with my disk and no mod chip..... I started getting pissed off at the dumb questions I was answering day in and day out. So I started charging a service fee. People got all the tech support they wanted until they had the disk running for a very small part of my time. Now you say its common knowledge how to make a boot cd!? Well it was easy when I did it, so its no surprize people have FINALLY figured out how to do it now. DOes that make you smart? You can download a disk and burn it to CD? well I guess it puts you in the top 50% bracket. Since most guys couldnt figure it out on their own. Or....... maybe your one of the guys I had to answer dumb questions for!! Either way, good for you. Like I said, I am not making or supporting my disk anymore. Evolution will dictate that things get better. So its great that a disk now is better than my disk I stopped making over a year ago. If that was not the case we would all still be playing PONG! But I was still a Pioneer of the boot disk, at least on this forum. And there was nothing of the sort on any other prominant PS2 forum at the time. ( I was a member to them all, and asked questions about them on them all). I just stuck to this forum because it was the tamest of them all. It wasnt a bunch of 14 year old kids being imature. People that actually appreciated hard work, and a good idea. Not rip off artists. I havnt spent much time on here lately, but maybe its turning into the rest of them now? I dont know. And dont care. ja..... Mata!
Just because I said I used Swap discs to use it, doesn't mean that it can't be used with modchips. It was, like yours, made for modchips, with the same idea as yours (never have to open disc tray).
if you have to open the disk tray to put your rom filled CD to play emus then it is not like mine! ANyway, like I said, thats fine. I could care less if people use this one. I just find it interesting that he is telling people about the disk in a post made JUNE 06, and you claim he made this before me. It would be nice to get credit where it is due. Thats all. EVen if he didnt rip my disk off and update the elf files that are on it.
