1.1 installing the hard drive and HDD FAQ
http://www.ps2nfo.com/hddfaq.html
----------------
1.2 items needed to use simple memory card exploit on ps2 with swap magic:
-swap magic CD (original pressed)
-winrar (to open any rar files)
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
-UltraISO (to view the iso, add files, remove files)
http://www.tucows.com/preview/306129
-alcohol 120% (to burn image, bin file)
http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_tools/alcoho...
-ps2cdgen (to change the order of files on cd, i dont think this is 100% necessary for a simple
install)
(page its on) http://console.iscentral.net/index.php?go=downloads&cat=3
(direct download) http://console.iscentral.net/downloadnow.php?file=11
-cd burner
-cd readable by your ps2
i just got 100 taiyo yuden CD-R's from shop4tech for $26.10 shipped.
http://www.shop4tech.com/user.htm?go=view_item&id=2199&cata=1&s_c... link
-titledb maker (to make titledb file to put in ISO
(page its on) http://console.iscentral.net/index.php?go=downloads&cat=2
(direct download) http://console.iscentral.net/downloadnow.php?file=171
-original psx disc
preferably a clean one that ps2 can read easier since it needs to run this disc for
exploit.
-Compatable HDD from list here.
im pretty sure there is another list, maybe ill add it later, this one should be ok for
now.

- keylauncher

----------------
1.3 making your expoit disc (this tutorial is meant to be the simples way to get this done, so i wont
go into great detail in the main tutorial)
Quote:
Getting titleDB:
lets start by getting that titleDB file we need to continue. get titledb maker, and run it.
put your original clean readable psx disc in your computer drive, and select the drive on the tab
to the left of the the "get ID from disc"
now that the drive is selected, click "get id from disc" this should put "SLUS_xxx.xx" in the
light blue area, this is the slus id number.
now click "add" and it should appear in the box to the right, highlight that, and click "save
TITLE.DB" and it shoudl save to wherever you launched the program from.
i recommend putting that in a folder all its own, and keep a backup just so you know where it is
if you mess something up.
Inserting TitleDB
Ok, next step, we are going to insert this titledb file into the keylauncher exploit setup
(you really shouldnt have to change anything, except maybe adding a updated hdloader elf file so
you can play newer games that require it..not sure of exact titles, but read around... you can also add
any program the same way, ill explain later, since it isnt really necessary i dont think.
So grab the keylauncher file from link above, unrar it and put it in a folder on your
desktop or somewhere easily accessable.
open the the bin file in ultraiso, and drag the titledb file you made into the ultra iso box where
the current titledb is, it will ask you "replace file" select yes, it is now inserted into the image.
!!! unless you are adding updated programs, removing programs to save space, or changing the
launch buttons in the KL.DAT file, this is all that needs done to the image !!!
Making Exploit Image
in ultraiso click "file, save as" and make a folder called "kain exploit" (i used legacy of kain) and
enter it., then change "save as type" from "standard iso" to "bin file" and name it whatever you want. it
should show a progress bar, and when its done.. you have your exploit image, all you need to do is burn it
to disc.
Final Step: Burning and Installing Exploit
open up alcohol 120%, click "image burning wizard" browse to your exploits Bin and Cue file, select it,
click next, select your burner, and click start.
easy enough, wait for it to finish burning... load up your magic swap CD, wait for it to say "load
program" and stop spinning, open the disc tray with your swap magic tool, exchange your magic disc for
your newly burned exploit disc, close and secure tray, and click load program...
hopefully you see the installation screen and files copy away! after this is finished, shut down your
xbox, put in your original psx game you got the titledb from, and watch the beauty!
Select what you want from the list of programs!
and thats that.. hope it was easy enough!
NOTE: this preset exploit is fairly large, which is why i deleted "ps2media.elf" (almost 1MB) as i
dont need my ps2 as a media center.. it will still show up
on the lauch screen without editing the KL.DAT file, but it wont affect the installation.
NOTE: if the disc reads, installs a few files and gives an error, it is mostly likely do to
running out of space on the memory card, try to have at least 3MB free space, 4 would be better,
test it out and see; i also think it writes this info to the system config save, so if it gets full,
delete that. would be best to start with a freshly formatted memory card though.
NOTE: this exploit will only work when you use the psx game from exploit, and have the memory card
inserted in your ps2.
----------------
1.3b easily updating your exploit disc (new progs, updated hdloader)
open your exploit in ultraISO and delete/add any elf files in the FILES folder as long as you know
what they are.
Updating these files means you have to update the KL.DAT file, Drag it from the FILES folder onto
your desktop and open wordpad, select "file" "open" then change it from opening .txt files, to all files,
and open the KL.DAT file.
you will then see something like this:
Quote:
AUTO=10
[]=mc0:/BADATA-SYSTEM/PS2MEDIA.ELF;PS2 MediaPlayer 1.50
/\=mc0:/BADATA-SYSTEM/MCLOADER.ELF;MCLoader
O=mc0:/BADATA-SYSTEM/HDLOADER.ELF;HDD Loder Free
X=mc0:/BADATA-SYSTEM/HDADVANC.ELF;HDAdvance
R1=mc0:/BADATA-SYSTEM/CSL.ELF;CogSwapLoader by Hermes
R2=mc0:/BADATA-SYSTEM/SNES_EMU.ELF;SNES
R3=mc0:/BADATA-SYSTEM/PS2LINK.ELF;PS2Link 1.23
L1=mc0:/BADATA-SYSTEM/PS2LOAD.ELF;CDLoader v7 5.2
L2=mc0:/BADATA-SYSTEM/MCFORMAT.ELF;MCFormat
L3=
Key=
L2=mc0:/BADATA-SYSTEM/MCFORMAT.ELF;MCFormat
^button assigned
_________^location of file (mc=memory card)
______________________^programs file name (MCFORMAT>ELF)
_____________________________________^ name that appears on launcher menu (MCFormat)
now.. its pretty self explanatory...
if you delete any related elf files, then find it here, and delete everythin after
"[]=mc0:/BADATA-SYSTEM/" for that specific line.
example, i deleted media player from my exploit image, so delete everything after
"[]=mc0:/BADATA-SYSTEM/" for that line
so now you have a free spot, you can put whatever you want there, such as..
http://www.consoleworld.org/downloads.php?do=file&id=2 that, which is HDLoader DVD9 0.7C which
loads certain newer games.
L3 and R3 are not currently supported.
!!! keep the elf files all CAPS !!!

1.5 which games work with which boot method? (mode 1, 2, 3, or a patch)
http://list.ps2hd.com/
----------------
1.6 can i play these games in Progressive mode? (on HDD)
in short, yes and no. if it has an "in game" option to turn on progressive mode, then yes.
if you have to hold "Triange + X" during "playstation 2" logo then no.
----------------
1.7 what the hell are these elf files?
these are programs, its just .elf instead of .exe
description of some common ELF files = http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/109289
---------------------------------------------------
I thank you for reading my guide, i hope its as easy as it was meant to be.. i found alot of dead ends to
progs, progs i couldnt find, and this is basically as simple
as it gets. let me know if you think there is anything i should add, or have forgotten, or if a link goes
dead, i will try to update it.
thanks again - kaosx
