heya

as posted by the man - bigdatto in his other thread (trick out ps2 for $0)

The good people at AusDigital have released an all-in-one GUI based Exploit disc compiler to make life VERY easy for everyone. details at http://www.ausdigital.net/

All you need now is a PSX disc, PC, CD burner, PS2 & memcard, net adaptor & IDE HDD. Brain no longer required.

well....I'M BLODDY LOST

i have the above things (ps2, ps1 game, PC, burner, ps2 + memcard, official network adaptor thing and a hard drive hooked up.)

but i dont know what to do next. i want to be able to copy things (games/movies to the hard drive as the laser is getting crappy.

i've been trying everything, searching all over the web but still nothing

please help me.

the closest i've come is finding places that want to sell me some cd magic thing that comes with a slide tool or "hdloader" as i have read about here and other places lots, that allows you to do the swap but i figured that was before my "brain was no longer required"

sorry to look like a noob

Alright, i'm at this point and i need further assistance...

I have been following the instructions at lookatthemonkeys.com:

1. I ran titleman.exe using the SCES info on my PS1 disc.

2. I ran CDGenPS2.exe and made an ISO of the required files.

3. I burned the ISO generated onto a CD.

4. I have 2.5MB free on my memory card.

5. I insert the SwapMagic CD and wait for the main screen.

6. I use the slide tool to open the PS2 CD drive.

7. I place in the burned CD.

8. I close the PS2 CD drive & use the slide tool to lock it in place.

9. I press "X" on the controller and I get a blank screen that never does anything.

I assume this final stage is where it is meant to copy the required files onto the memory card so that if the PS1 game is in the drive it will load .ELF files off the Memory Card.

If I put the .ELF file onto a USB memory stick and have that in the PS2 USB port while Swap Magic is loading up it will automatically load the .ELF file on the USB memory stick, but then it has problems with CDVD.IRX. I assume they need to be on CD or it won't work.

i am using swap magic 3.6

anyway, yeah

help

cheers dudes

Sounds like you're doing everything right. Did you place a dummy file (50-100meg) in the disc image ? Ps2 might not be able to read the disc if the image is too small. I've experienced problems with some media also. $ony CDR's just won't read at all, surprise surprise.

I still advise you to get the Ausdigital compiler. It works faultlessly every time.

Patience will reward you, Jedi.

Good news. If you want to setup your friends PS2 the same, just copy the data from your memcard to theirs & it'll work with the same PSX disc.

Sweet !!
