extern int sceSifLoadFileReset(void);

If you have access to the Sony libs, you should also have access to https://www.ps2-pro.com/ where you should be able to get all the help you need.

I know two ways you can accomplish this.

The first one which is somewhat easy and less efficient
Find a PS2 game which has the same IOP image, sio2man.irx and padman.irx. Load the modules off the CDROM or DVDROM. The elf will load and run but you will loose connectivity to PS2link.

The second one which is more difficult and efficient
Recode libkernl and libpad. Get the code from PS2SDK, rename all functions to the sce notation and sce data types. Link the elf to the new libkernl and libpad. The elf will run and you will not loose connectivity to PS2link. The only disadvantage, all the demos are copyrighted by SONY and you can't distribute any of it. Talk about spoiling all the fun.

Enjoy!

Thank you for the answer
