I've been going through the independence memory card exploit guide and was wondering what ELF files will run on PS2 MAX media player (ARMAX)?... The PGEN that comes with ARMAX obviously runs no probs, but when i take some of the other elf files such as Cog Swap and try to load them, i get a black screen - nada!
Running a range of ELF files through ARMAX would be excellent if this is possible? - from cdr, pendrive or whatever.

Hey man, got my ARMAX do help me out at last! - here's what i done:
1. Download Cdloader (cdload75.elf) from ( http://www.console.iscentral.net/download.php?view.24 )
2. Burn it to a cdr using max media creator PC software (you can add mcloader and other elfs if you like)
3. Put your burnt cd into your ps2 when u've loaded max media player.
4. Select cdload75.elf and it will load (more .elf files will load from your cd than from pendrive cause of the way they're programmed)
5. When it loads, press eject on the ps2 and put in an official ps2 cd game.
6. Next use a slide tool to pull out the tray and replace it with a compiled MC expolit disc. Press X to load the disc.
7. The MC exploit will install all its files on the MC and once you put in your ps1 game, you can load any elf file off the mc. (NO MOD required)..
This is the way i've cracked the problem recently, and it runs a dream, for cogswaploader.elf, mcloader.elf, ps2media.elf and pgen.elf.
My simple guide to the software you need for making the exploit disc etc. is at the bottom of the last page on this thread:
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/19/109289
Cdloader will definitely load off an Action Replay cdr.. and this is the key to installing your exploit which will do all the work from there onwards.
Hope this helps you man, cause it took me a couple of months to figure it out myself.

DVD9 just means it is a dual layer disc. I have no idea if cog swap supports that format, but here's how to burn it to a single layer DVD-R:http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/

Hey man, cogswap.elf will not load off AR MAX media player DIRECTLY for me either. It does for other folks though, hit and miss really.
However, thats why you need to use the above steps to get it to run. You do NOT need a ps1 game to get it to run by these steps. The program asks for it to give you the option of loading through the mc, but you don't need to do that, just run your loader through cdloader with the slide tool method. (just paste SLES_000.53 in the box for the ps1 sles code - it'll make no difference if you can't load of mc anyway)
MCloader.elf will run for me too, but wont let you load backups through THAT program.
The idea is... go to Step 1 of my guide above and download the cdloader.rar file from exploitstation.com. You'll need winrar or the like to extract this file, and it'll give you "cdloader.elf". CDLOADER WILL LOAD just the same as Mcloader.elf through AR MAX, except you'll need to burn it to cdr and load it just like you would an mp3 cd in media player.
Once you've got this done, i'll help you get the rest completed - not difficult once you've got this bit setup.

I'm on and off all the time, so just post here and i'll get your messages.
Mcloader.elf wont help you out with loading cogswap.elf. It loads elf files from a file called "Reality Mediaplayer.max" on your memory card - the "exploit disc", on the other hand, installs the elf files to "Your System Configuration". There is a way to do it with MCloader, but you'd need to do the compiling yourself and transfer the file with ARMAX memory card manager - more complicated and MCLoader does not load .elfs as well as a launcher like ps2menu (which will not load "directly" off ARMAX).
The sumamry is MCloader only installs files for PS2Reality from a compiled disc, you can get it to load PS2 Media Player, but nothing much else.
If you give Cdloader.elf a go, let me know where you get to with it!
Peace.

So you downloaded cdload75.rar from exploitstation.com - extracted cdload75.elf, burnt it to cd (with Max Media Creator - create bin/cue, then Nero to burn disc image)...
Booted up AR MAX, loaded media player, put in your burnt cd, cdload75.elf was on the file list and you clicked X on the play button... and it went black?
What were the exact files you put on the disc?

no - cdload75.elf should be all you need. If Mcloader.elf will load off AR MAX, cdload75.elf will also. If you compile a disc with say 10 elf files off exploitstation.com, which ones will load? - if you find Mcloader.elf will not run off your compiled disc, then there's something wrong with the way your burning the disc. If it runs fine on the same disc as cdload75.elf, then I was wrong about cdloader running on "all" systems.
I'll work out a way to load cogswaploader.elf through MCloader.elf if the above doesn't work.

I don't think Max Media Creator (action replay's "burning program") can import bin/cue files to burn. Nero or equivalent will do that for you.
And how did you get the boot.elf file on your mc? - if you put it on with ARMAX off a pendrive, it should be able to be deleted by ARMAX. your boot.elf file must be in system configuration, no?
Anyway, see how your new download of cdloader.elf goes - make sure u extract the boot.elf file from cdloader.bin and that it's version1 (not v7.) - u will need daemon or equivalent to load the .bin file you download from swapmagicfix.com.
If you can't get this, i'll send you my cdloader.elf file through the PM system - (this one isn't corrupt! ;-) )
