Hi

I've been asked to prepare a video to play in ps2.
This has already been done so far.

But we want the PS2 to open it as if it were a game, and not just a video.
(when playing this video in machines 900001 using a Matrix mod chip it shows as it were dvd video.)
We need to show this video as if it would be a real ps2 program running some codes and stuff. But it really isn't

So.. we want to program a very simple game (game kind of disc ) that the only thing it does is to play this video just once.

Like if you would take a real game and instead of seeing EA logo animation we replace it for our video.... and then... nothing else. delete everything else.

We are starting to use developers kit and elf stuff but seems there is a lot to learn and maybe someone can give us a hand.

Any replies to this thread will be apreciated.

Try SMS and convert your video to a divx file and put it on a usb memory stick.

Look in ps2dev.org for sms, it's a media player that was created using non-Sony Libs

Do you mean ps2dev, or the official sony sdk?

There is a simple example of how to play mpeg2 video in the ps2sdk (ps2sdk\ee\mpeg). It uses the IPU to decode the video. If you want to use a different codec, you will need a software decoder.
