Where are you putting the dummy file? Are you creating a folder called dummy and then placing it in the folder? If not, you need to make sure it's in a folder called Dummy

I've burned a few times now, but I keep getting ERROR: Failed to write destination file: HDLOADER.ELF
I've tried redownloading everything and doing it from scratch and it still throws an ERROR at HDLOADER.ELF

vonoven, is there a new version of ps2-keylauncher anywhere? I was getting hdloader.elf failed to laod everytime but downloaded a different one and it seemed to work, however, now mcloader.elf has failed. I'm wondering if these files are corrupt somehow?

abara, you can do this, make sure the DUMMY directory isn't inside the FILES directory. Make sure you click on the CDGENPS2 icon that's above the FILES folder, then click NEW FOLDER button. Make sure its CDGENPS2 then FILES then DUMMY from top to bottom.

After following a few guides that didn't work for me, I got the exploit working on my unmodded PAL PS2 using this guide! Tremendous!
I added execftps and fap_svr to the files I copied over. I used a HDADVANCE 2.1 PAL disc and the swap trick to copy the exploit CDR to the hard drive and ran it from there. I have one main question and a few smaller ones I hope people can help me with.
Big question: FlashFXP can show my memory card files when execftps is running, but has an error when transferring files in, leaving them on the card but with a 0kb size, despite there being plenty of room on the card. Mac OS X ftp clients like Fetch and Transmit connect to the PS2, but won't show any drives or files at all. Why is this?
Little questions:
- in following the guide I wasn't sure if I was installing some apps that wouldn't work on my PAL PS2. If anyone has advice on which ones will work and which won't, please let me know :-)
- If I launch the HDADVANCE.ELF from keylauncher, will that be an alternative way of accessing my stored games instead of using my HDADVANCE 2.1 PAL discs (that is, will there be a version incompatibility or PAL/NTSC conflict with the games I've already copied using the 2.1 disc?).
- I am assuming hdl_dumb and winhiip don't work on Windows 98. Are there alternatives other than FAP?
- Any comments from Mac users on techniques and software for connecting/transferring/etc between Mac and PS2 would be great.
Regards,
Broaddd

Hi
What is the point of putting game saves onto your hard drive if you can't use them, can you 'recycle' them from hard drive to MC so if I want the GTA save but it is on my hard drive can I send it back to my memory card and use that game save.

I really am in need of assistance. I can?t get a number of things to work.
I have a Moded PX2 with a Magic3 modchip. Well here is what is happening. My situation is a bit different as I have a modchip and found a disc online that has:
MCLOADER
HDADVANCE
HDLOADER
and a few other programs...
Well with the disk I got I just added the files I wanted to another disk then had MCLOADER transfer the files to the memory card. One problem is that the MCLAODER only transfers files to the PS2REALITY folder created by the disk on my memory card that is also the only folder that can be browsed.
Well from there I transferred the EXECFTP over to the memcard with the CONFIG.DAT and loaded the program from there. At this point I had an FTP connection to my PX2. Now it the problem...
I had added the TITLE.DB(Modified using "Title.DB_Maker" to boot with the WCW Nitro PS1 Game), BOOT.ELF(The BOOT.ELF is the renamed KL.ELF), and The KL.DAT. Also I moved every file in the FILES folder of the "KeyLauncher CD" into the BADATA-SYSTEM folder.
Well when I have the Altered memory card in the PX2 and run my WCW game the screen goes blank. If I take the memory card out, the game boots fine. For this reason I feel that my TITLE.DB is correct but there is a problem elsewhere. I also would like to mention that in order to boot a PS1 game I have to boot my PX2 in a different way than I do for regular PX2 games... I don?t know but I wonder if this is the reason that I cant get this to work. This isn?t my only problem...
I can run the EXECFTPS.ELF fine but when I try to run the FAPlink It stops at "Initializing IP" I have the IPCONFIG.DAT in the same folder as the fap_srv.elf file. Both are located in the PS2REALITY folder on the MC. I have also tried to set up the folders
FAPLINK
EXECFTPS
And so on and put the files in the folders through FTP and browse them with the PS2MENU and run PS2MENU through the MC LOADER but it stops before he programs load... I assume there is a problem with running some of these programs through the MC LOADER or running them in the PS2REALITY folder.....
I really need help here or at least know if I can use this exploit with the MAGIC 3 ModChip....
Any help on any of these problems would be appreciated...
Thanks and I will pass any information I get to others that need it
Thanks
CatttDaddy

I seriously need help. The first time i installed the exploit it worked fine, but i had no HD in. So when i installed the hd in, it wouldnt detect it. Then i tried installing the exploit again, and when i do, the exploit wont load. so i made about 7 other disks to try to create exploits on my MC, and when i insert the psx disc, the screen just stays black. I tried formatting my MC by GS2, and tried installing the exploit once again, still black screen. When i disable my modchip (DMS4PRO) and insert the psx disc, it loads up to be an audio cd? Need Help Fast. THANX

I have a question about using this Mem Card Exploit. It was stated that once you hi-jack the boot process, you can run "any piece of code" - so does this include PS2 backups or is that not possible. i.e. is this a replacement for a mod-chip (or swap magic style mod process)?
Thanks,
prpl_noob

I have gameshark and a compatible usb drive for the ps2. Now I have managed to load all the files from that cd into the memory card. Now what would be the way to load up those elf files. I try using the psone disc but it just boots up normally.

Can any one help me here, I used my gameshark to load the exploit to my PS2. Went fine but when I put in a PS1 game nothing happens. Except the game loads like normal. Any ideas what I did wrong?

Yeah that means you didn't correctly add the SLUS from your PSX game to the file. You must look at the PowerPoint presentation,
http://www.midgatrades.com/Presentation2_files/frame.htm
;then redo your image using CDGENPS2 then load the exploit again! Sorry, but it's the most important step. Not having a trigger disc that works is like not having the exploit!
