Installation Directions

* Burn the ISO included in this archive.
* Boot the CD you just burned containing the HDD Explorer installer.
You will then be prompted to install HDD Explorer. Select OK to
begin installation.
* Once installation is complete, boot to HDD explorer by holding
START on controller 1 and pressing reset.
* Once at the HDD Explorer screen, ensure the HDD Explorer
installation CD is in your PS2, and press triangle to install the
applications which are bundled with the installer cd.

With release 1.3 of HDD Explorer the actual HDD Explorer ELF has been
seperated from the loader. This means that you can replace the HDD
Explorer ELF on the HDD with anything you like, and this will be
loaded when you enter Dev.olution 2 mode. The filename of the ELF
which is loaded on startup is "boot.elf", in the partition "__boot".
Another way of saying
this is that "hdd:__boot/boot.elf" is loaded on startup. All you need
to do in order to replace HDD Explorer with the application of your
choice is replace this file.
Before loading the boot.elf file, the modchip firmware will attempt
to load an _optional_ configuration file called "boot.cfg" from the
same partition
(so filename "hdd:__boot/boot.cfg". If found it will parse its
contents and set some options accordingly. The options are as follows:
DISABLE_DEV9 - Disable the network adapter (ethernet and HDD) before loading
boot.elf. This can be useful if you are loading an ELF which has
no HDD/ethernet support, or which does not work correctly if the
network adapter is enabled when the ELF is first loaded.
\REMOVE_HOOKS - Remove all traces of the modchip from memory before loading boot.elf. This is necessary in order to load certain ELF files
which hook into system internals.

To enable an option, simply include its corresponding keyword (ie: DISABLE_DEV9)
in the boot.cfg file. One keyword per line.

Lastly, some people have had their boot partition corrupted and have been unable
to format/erase this partition in order to fix the problem. Now you can
use the HDD Explorer installer format the boot partition by holding
L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 at the "Press X to install DMS HDD Explorer..." screen.


....anyway here is the third folder "hdl_dumb-0.8" with files

hdl_dumb windows based games installer for HD loader /and

hdld_svr.elf--elf file


The fourth folder is "PS2_Handiness" with getdiskfree, hdl_dump,

hdl_gui applications/an hdl_gui.ddl application extension, a text

document which includes
