um, posting links to ROM sites is a bad idea. A moderator will slap your pee pee if you dont remove it.

It will take you to a screen that looks like you're in still in LaunchELF, cuz u r :D

Go to mc0: then push r1 and push make Dir. Call it SYS-CONF. And guess what, just reset your playstation, and set your config. 100% save, anything for u STINKY!

I hope this is the answer for you mobywalt, and its ALL IN THE THREAD ;)


Sorry for my bad english

moby, you may have also noticed that the info for doing this is included in the read me.

Kinda funny huh? Why would anyone provide informastion WITHIN the actual software provided that includes common problems and how to fix them??

Seems others may have had this problem already......15 pages of posts maybe ARE NOT just all people saying "thank you" after all! Go figure huh!!

ERROR: Unable to open destination file:
TILE.DB


Any suggestions on this, i search and found no referance to this at all.

againm this has been talked about before.

1) make sure they are the correct extension for the right emulator

2) Unzip them. Snes supposedly can play them even if they are zipped, but why add another potential problem

3) make sure you are trying to load them from withtin an emulator and NOT from launchelf (others have tried before)

4) make sure you are trying to load the right rom in the right emulator.

more or less yes
when you burn the disc there should be an option to leave the media open and then you can add more files when ever u wish until the disc is full let me know what software you use i will help you if u want. i use Nero and it is very very easy to do.

and he is selling them for £10 each and they are selling preety well why dont you do the same with your disc because there is no1 doing them for the playstation atall i have searched and searched and no1 doing it for the ps2. not as though it isnt ready you have cases and disc covers etc
and also you can earn some money.

cheers sam

I didnt program ANY of the .elf apps for the PS2. They are all freeware. And part of the user agreement states that you wont charge any money for them. SO if I was selling disks I could get SCREWED very easily by ANY of the authors of the apps.

Not to mention the rom legal issues, but that is more minor.

Also since launchelf requires you to setup the apps first to a MC I would need to sell it with a MC that was pre-setup with launchelf. Otheriwse I would get idiots that cant figure out how to set it up. If you dont beleive me just read through this thread and see how many HERE couldnt follow the instructions.

My ORIGINAL plan was to make launchelf boot the menu info OFF the cd as well, so NO memory card was needed at all. But it is not coded to work like that. It needs the MC to work.

About the PAL with black and white issues.

Go into settings by pressing TRIANGLE ( in snes emu) and then click on video mode. CHange it to "FORCE PAL" or "FORCE NTSC" depending on your TV set and country. It will make ALL the roms work for that region perfectly.

you want updates huh?

I have been pretty buisy lately. Also I lost all the contents of my computer. I had an update almost ready but then lost it all. I had re-written the README's and stuff.

As far as files go and eveything I think its pretty much done now. There isnt much left to do.

Just watch for new PS2 apps.

About the sound, it skips on the snes emulator if your settings are too high. I have mine set to mono sound, this makes it run much smoother.
