@Ace...
The site always seems to be down. I have a link to the 5.0 beta version but it always gives me an annoying message at startup then closes. Is that the new one? Anyways, here's the link:
http://sksapps.com/exploit/PS2_Exploit_U...Public_Beta.zip

@Omri...
Sorry, but you will need a copy of Action Replay with media center to do this exploit...make sure you buy "Action Replay Max", and check the box to make sure it has media player.

@omri...
For slims, there is no other way to do it with action replay if it doesn't have the memory card...

@Ace...
It takes forever to load -.-
EDIT: I just got an error, Problem loading page...looks like it's dead...tried a few times with no luck.

Oh, so you have a fat one...

Yes, there is actually a much easier way. Select the game you want to launch, then just do an undetected swap for your backup disc and it should work.

You could also do the independence exploit, ill give you some links later gotta run sorry.....

Make sure that you follow the guide closely for the instructions in max media creator. You might have to check off method 1, 2, or 3 for the proper reading message in your PS2. Mine only works on method 2. Also make sure you have the latest version of the software:

http://us.codejunkies.com/support_articl...=7&g=1&ProdId=1

You'll want the 1.32 version, here's a direct link:
http://uk.codejunkies.com/downloads/MaxM..._Setup_1_32.zip

Remember, try the different methods when it asks you, I'm sure one of them will work. Then just select CDLoader.elf and it should run.

Hmm, that's odd. So you've tried a USB memory stick and all CD burning methods? Make sure you select a low burning speed for the CDs and that you have the latest version of all your software, including max media creator and the CDLOADER.ELF from Ace's post. It should work.....

Will the CD not stop spinning when you are trying to load CD Loader or when the CD Loader program is already started?

The ARMAX CD should still be spinning when you get to the media player. You will need to remove the sensor in the little notch over the power button which will make the PS2 act like the lid is open. Then you swap the ARMAX cd for the CDLOADER cd, put the sensor back in, and it will scan the disc and say CDLOADER.ELF on the screen. Then press play and it should run. You will need to do a detected swap like this later on to put your high TOC ps2 dvd in cogswaploader. Just follow the instructions carefully, I'm sure you'll get it.

You still need Cog-Swap if you want to play your backups. Keep the ELF on a USB Memory Stick or your Memory Card. It's up to you. Heck, you can even use all 3 for all I know. Try them all, and stick to the one you prefer(remember that you only need 1 uLaunchELF and CD Loader disc to try them all).

Okay, now I don't know where your going with the "oracle" business. Does have something to do with "The One" who creates an exploit for the slim? I'm all mixed up here.

Oh, before I forget, even if I'm "The One" who makes the Independence Exploit derivant for slims, won't Sony try to find out who I am even if I don't reveal my name and then have them get me into legal troubles?
Hi , I trying to watch DivX movie in playstation2 slimline. i went through all the forum and i am all confused. Can you please help me with it? I have modchip in my console I am not sure which one because i got it with the console.

@Nick...
I am unfamiliar with zoneloader, I would recommend just following the instructions for cdloader, ule and cogswap. Have you been able to boot zone loader at all?

@alvin...
I know exactly what you need =)
Use Ace's instructions for burning a disc with ULE on it, but instead of adding the cogswap elf, add the SMS elf from here:
http://sksapps.com/media/SMS_Version_2.0_R1.rar

Then boot the ULE disc with your modchip like you would boot a backup and navigate to the SMS.elf file stored on your ULE CD. It should start SMS, a media player for PS2. It should then allow you to boot any kind of movie from your USB key or HD. Best of luck, feel free to ask any questions if you need some more help.

Yes, zoneloader boots up unlike cdloader. Zoneloader says to swap dvd/cd now.

So sorry for the delayed replay...

Can you tell me where you got the zoneloader program and EXACTLY how you burnt and ran it? Thank you.

Meh, good luck with that. My laser got fried once too, I ordered one here:
http://richspsxparts.com/pvr802w.html
I would strongly recommend that site, the guy is really nice so if you need any help you can send him an email.

About the elf, how exactly do you boot it? Do you just run it with Max Media Player? And are you sure that's the correct version? I just want to make sure everything is good so I can help you in the best way possible. Please be as exact as you can be.

Which sensor was it, the disc break, the one near the power button, or the one in back?

Anyways, I'll see what I can do with zoneloader.

Hmm, so how exactly did you break it? What about it is broken really?

I am also sorry to report that I had no luck with Zoneloader, it just says to swap cd/dvd, i tried a few different combos of ways to boot like using other tools, but none work. Even just directly swapping to a backup game, which would be suggested by the instructions. Perhaps the tool needs to be used with swap magic. If you could get more information from your friend that would help.

Sorry about your dilemma with the sensor, hope everything works out OK.
