using cd-r to transfer files to memory card

Post by sympozium »

i was wondering if theres a program i can download and burn to transfer files from cd to memory card? files such as .xpo and .xps, xport is not available currently where i live. i have a mod chip and action replay max, but no lan connection, any help would be great.

Cheers

PS2MENU 2.3b

Still in development, but this version will allow you to do that.
You'll need to create a PS2 bootable CD which runs the PS2MENU.ELF

Here is a link to the current binary:

Playstation executables are files with the exertention .ELF (a pc .EXE for example)

You need a way to get the PS2MENU.ELF running @the ps2, i don't know if it possible to make a sort of boot-disk but the only way i know is with the ethernet adapter..

@helloz

Well, I've tried to load PS2MENU 2.26 with Pukklink & Inlink 1.0, but after the load, the elf stop on this line : "Loading ps2netfs.irx 17793 bytes".

Do you know a way to transfert the menu2.elf to memcard to start it by this way ?

I think about burning an install cd of ps2menu, or get it to work (i.e transfert it) on memorycard with nport, but i can't see how to transform ps2menu.elf in npo format.

Any help ?

Well, after all, i reinstalled my linux kit this night and applied MrBrown's MCPatch to have full acces to memory card.

Then and because i have a ripper 2 modded PS2, i made a folder "\BOOT\PS2MENU/" and rename "PS2MENU.ELF" to "\BOOT\PS2MENU\PS2MENU.ELF" and put it in the memory card.

The boot loader for the ripper2 was already in place, so i tested it quickly.

And then, i see the wonderful work on PS2MENU.

Now, i have to look to this "host:" to be able to copy softs from pc to mc (or why not to HDD if i decide to format it to a fstype understood by PS2MENU !).


Ho, i forgot: Thank's a lot MrBrown.......
I tried to run Inlink, but i must be on the wrong way....

So, Vers l'infini et même au-delà.......
