To everyone alse just reading the thread dont hesitate to send me a message through the download site if you have any questions. (some may not be registered here to post)

Minor Update performed on the site now. I changed it from being called a "BOOT CD" to "ALL IN ONE PS2 DISK". Hopefully people will stop thinking this is a swap magic type disk now.
I also made a quick CD label as well as a DVD case insert. They are packed in the new .rar file. So if you download the new one the pics should be in there with it. Now it will look sort of like a real item.
As usual let me know if you find any problems or things that are not clear. I gotta go to bed now, I work tonight again at 7 till 7.

"There is no reason at all why you could not add the .elf file for it to your cd though and make a folder for NES roms as well. SOunds like you should know how to do that just fine."
I dl Imbnes to try this but its a exe file and it doesnt show up in the menu on my os2, the nes folder does but not IMBnes, do you know any other NES emulators for ps2 thats .elf, oh what about infones???

oh just a thought, but would there be anyway to play PS1 games off the HD? ive been able to get them on the HD easily but they wouldnt play, at least with HD loader. i was wondering if this disk would allow you to play the PS1 games. i dont have any with me right now so i have no way to test it.

There is no way to play PS1 games from the hdd that I know of.
I knew I forgot something. I will check right now what the newest version is and see if thats whats on there. I am pretty sure it is the newest version already.

The version of launchelf that was on the disk was either 3.4b or 3.4b2
I just updated to the final release of 3.4. It supposedly has a couple fixes on it so this may solve your guys' problem of it not saving the menu file to your MC.
It looks like this is not going to be updated anymore for a while so what you have on here now for launchelf is all you get.

Hey stinky thx for this allinone cd/dvd its a jewel. I was wondering how I would get a nes emulator on it. I notice that all the appz on the disc are in .elf extension and im assuming this is the same as a .exe on a normal pc.
I was wondering how I would convert a nes emulator into these .elf files?
Regards,
Sam

Okay I officially give up. The config never saves. Not to the mc and putting the LAUNCHELF.CNF on the disk in both the root and a subdir called SYS-CONF has no affect. I'm going to just stick with seperate disks for different apps. This blows!!!

thanks stinky for all the hard work, this works great except I cant save the config, but I can deal with that later.
I am not sure how imbnes, and if you follow its instructions properly and run the rombank.exe. then make the iso then if thats the only thing you wanted you can burn the CD (so it says, i dont have time to try right now as I am at work.)
If you extract the files out of the ISO file that the ROM you get 4 files.
system.cnf
nes.exe.
saveicon.bmp
rombank.bin
I would think if you add those to the base of the CD that if you select one of the files it will work.
I will test tonight when I get home.

what I dont understand is how the nes.exe runs on the ps2. Unless it is really a .elf file setup with a different extension for windows to reconize it? but who knows.
Like I said I havnt played with it much.
SWFX, I wish I knew what the deal was with it not saving. You are saying that with a MC in slot one, and 1 mb of space you can load the disk, then setup launchelf and when you start the ps2 again it wont have saved the config file? Or you want it to be on the Cd for sure?
I remember reading somewhere that you could put it on the CD but I really dont remember where I saw it. Also you may have the file system wrong. How did you decide what it needed to be called?
It may be like keylauncher though. Keylauncher wont run the .dat file from the CD either. it HAS to have it on the MC. But that file is much larger. And if they both needed it on the MC anyway I figured it was much esier to just have it auto save the 2kb of data that it needs to save. I will see if I can dig up some more info. Or even track down the author of the app in the first place.

Well I just made a IMBnes disc as per the instructions on the site and I can tell you that it doesnt work on the PS2. Maybe you need AR to boot it cuz its "suppose" to be a PSX disc, but I know for a fact that it doesnt run with SMD.

you can use infones on stinkys disc for nes roms and infgb for gameboy, but both are pretty crappy........ i've got them to work but it doubles the rom playlist and with sound it freezes alot...

and that is the reason I dont have a NES emulator on my disk. Besides, most the good nes games were ported to snes.

Thanks Stinky! Right now, I would be happy with it saving either way (MC or reading an edited one from the CD) I can't get the config loaded either way. Tracking down the author or even a freakin readme file is the real challenge with LaunchELF. Is there another ELF launcher that I might try that actually has documentation?

does the not saving the config thing have anything to do with how you burn the disk? IE: finalize it, disk at once, track at once, ect?

you can try keylauncher. But its less user freindly and it HAS to run from the MC, you cant put it on a cd and run it. Thats why I went with launchelf. It was the ONLY app I could find that would use the least amount of space on the MC.
I still just dont understand why it isnt saving it to the MC. Finalizing the CD should have nothing to do with it.
Are you using my latest Disk? It has the newest version of launchelf. It looks like I was using 3.33 before and now it has 3.4 final on it. That could make a difference.
Also when you load into launchelf it says where it loaded the config settings from. Right at the top of the screen there. I dont know if that is the default for it or what but I doubt it can be changed either.
Either way there is not much more I can do. I am still working on finding the author. Or at least contact info for him. I did find a read me for it but its all garbled text. SO I suspect he does not speak english as a language. That makes it even more fun!!!

Hey, sorry i've been busy all today. Swfx, Here is a quick tutorial for you and all the peopel to save using Stinky's disk. This was completely by accident yet it's genius!
k start off my going to config. Then cfg any of the buttons, and then make it set to Misc: File browser, run 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 will give it a try later on to see if I can make it a little more clear. Then I will add it to the readme.
Great job guys!

That is awesome! Thank you SO much! I guess I will just have to request a mc from people when I mod their systems. I was hoping to just give them a disk, but I can work with this. Thanks again.
