Hi everyone, I've read through most of the forums and still cannot find a good answer to my problem/question... I'm hoping someone can point it out to me what went wrong...

I've downloaded the demo1 from the tutorial, and used the makefile to make a demo1.elf file.

I burnt this file on my DUO2 modded PS2 ver. 2. however the PS2 doesn't recognized it as a PS1 or PS2 disc and returns a disc read error. I've tried booting in both the PS1/PSX and PS2 mode.

Next I added a system.conf file along with the demo1.elf and insert it into the PS2 again.. it returns the same disc read error... now, a friend of mine has a DMS3 and he boots it into the DEV mode, and it actually ran the CD and displayed stuffs in demo1.elf

My question is am i missing something from that CD and DMS3 DEV mode just happened to fill it in for me, so that PS2 can read the disc I made?

In short, what other files do I need to insert into my disc as well as the demo1.elf to make it a complete disc so that I can boot off it normally and get the same result?

Anyone else has this same issue?

Below is how I burnt my CD...

Here is my MakeFile

CC=ee-gcc

OBJ_DIR = obj
CFLAGS = -Wall -W -EL -G0 -O0 -mips3 -nostdlib -DPS2_EE

demo1.elf: $(C_OBJ) $(S_OBJ)
@echo "-------------------------------------------------"

Here is my System.cnf file
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOT2 = cdrom0:\DEMO1.ELF;1

VMODE = NTSC

I really appreciate anyone filling in for me here...
I tried to burn another disc using the .iso file from aura_for_laura_cd_version and it works fine from the CD and I don't even have to boot the PS2 in any mode...

I'm also wondering if my make file has errors?? anyways, really glad if someone can help me fill in these blanks...

I've also downloaded and installed the newest cygwin and compilers as well as all other gcc that are included... actually I followed one of the links here in the forum and get that installed...

can someone tell me how do I check if my downloads are the latest yet? i saw someone says to type "ee .... -v" or something in cygwin to see if it runs right, but then my cygwin says this command doesn't exists...

I shall end this lengthy help at this point...
Please if anyone can contribute, I'd really appreciate it...

thanks

it should be system.cnf, not system.conf.

Ah yes, that's a TYPO on my part... System.conf -> *System.cnf
but thanks...

hope someone can help me out...
do I need to make it into an ISO file?
if so, how do I go about combining my .elf and .cnf into an ISO?
what program to use? for making ISO and burning...

under NERO -> BURN:
should I do Track-at-once or Disc-at-once?
is there a difference? because if I burn ISO off it uses mode 2/XA, Disc-at-once...

thanks in advance...
