L-burna.
Firstly, thanks for taking the time to do this guide. It's very much appreciated. I have a couple of questions I hope you can help me answer...
1.) For /FILES/SYSTEM.CNF (the SYSTEM.CNF under the FILES folder, not the other SYSTEM.CNF), do I need to change the LBA to 12231 as well?
2.) After I have my exploit all installed, do I just load up the keylaunch menu by putting in the ps1 game with the title.db I designated? Do I need to do anything else or is it just automatic?

If your using smd use cdgen to change the system.cnf LBA to 12231. With gs2 you dont need to do this =)
And make sure you edit the KL.DAT file with notepad if you want keylauncher to work properly.

w00t!!!that is right jonjakjam :) boaterw,don't forget to thank jonjakjam man.He pops in every once in awhile,but he knows this just as much as I do.I would say go with the PS2Menu instead though boaterw.The reason I say this is there is a flaw in the L3 and R3 triggers that makes it not launch any .ELF files.You can get the PS2Menu and have them all launch and work perfectly,except the cdloaderV7_beta5.2.ELF file that is the only one I can't get to work.It has something to do with making a multiple .ELF file I bet.

ok im really confused, your telling me i can burn a disk link cd-r and boot it in my unmoded ps2?
Yeah man you can launch this exploit from a machine without a modchip by using swap magic or gameshark.
Quote:
if this is not what your saying can you explain how i "compile" this disk? what type of media?
Nah it works man,just follow the steps as you would do for this.If you have a modchip,the same thing will happen.It will boot it up and install it without any probs.
Hey kujima are you using the magiciso to compile the exploit man.I was saying use the magiciso program to compile the Sega Genesis roms an stuff for the new version of PGEN.The program cdgen works only for the ones below,but the bad thing is that the older PGEN progs will not launch anything off the memory card.Yeah just use cdgen to compile the exploit,boot it as you would a burnt disc.Then after you are done pop a PS1 game in and it will load.

2 more questions.....
If I have a moded ps2 will this cd-r loader run or do I still need the swap trick?
also after the memcard exploit is loaded if I wana make one for a frind do I have to run the install again or can i just copy the files to a second memcard through the ps2 internal browser?

Hey guys-
Any idea why when I try to fix the LBA of system.cnf in the FILES folder at 12231 it doesn't stay fixed and shows up as W 13855 instead? Before I tried to fix the LBA, it was already 13855. Also, I'm using smd and cdgen to do this. thanks again

I am not sure,but you would have to have a ipconfig file on the memory card to even connect right.Although I could be wrong on this,you might be able to use tunnel software somewhere.

Yeah,it will launch off modchip,fliptop,slidecard,and harddrive also.

I am sure it is possible to copy the systemconfig file to another memory card.The exploit is in Your SystemConfig file.When you look inside of your memory card it will be about 4MB or less than that,depends on how many apps you put in there.
Hey boaterw the LBA on the other system.cnf file in the Files folder doesn't need to be changed.When you change the LBA just stick with changing the LBA of the first system.cnf the one not even in a folder.Then leave everything else as it is.The system.cnf inside the Files folder should be left alone.If you need some more help man,come back and tell one of us alright.

Ok, kinda bummed out. Does anyone have a link to a swap trick for PS2 that doesn't require a Utility disk, swap magic, or GS/AR? I can't seem to get a hold of any of these items and this would be my best bet.

Hey rowdan it can be launched off the memory card for HDD use.I am not really sure about this,but maybe I can find something out to help you out.
Quote:

Yeah man I put up a tutorial I found somewhere I think it is on the bottom of page 3 here.It talks about using the ARMax Pen Drive installing the memory card exploit.You will have to use ps2savebuilder and the .xps converter.
Quote:

Yes it is possible man,and I am sure it works.The pen drive technique is just another method of storing the exploit files on mc or hdd.I think there are numerous ways in getting this to work,and using the pen drive is a pretty good method I must say.It will save you cd-r discs in the long run as for upgrading it if you want to.

Run me through the steps you used,and maybe I can help you out man.I am not sure what PS2 versions can work with this either,so using a newer PS2 could cause no progress in using this method.Another thing is that if you are using a Messiah modchip,this chip will not work with the exploit.I think I heard that somewhere also,but that is what I heard could be wrong on it.

Hey Doodmar see if you can get your hands on the dongle memory card man.I think jonjakjam was right about the memory card,without the dongle for it.I think it will not boot it up to install it on the memory card.If you want to get the swap magic discs,you can get them from a place like http://www.customPS2.com or you can always check the site.The GS/AR V2 builds are gonna be hard to find,and I think they are rare.Once they come out with newer builds the older builds seem to be gone man.You might have some luck on amazon or ebay,but I think you will just be getting ripped off with the discs man.They will probably charge you more the GS/AR V2 discs than you would expect.Your best bet would probably be the Swap Magic if these discs cost too much.You are gonna have to do a price comparison.

Cool Ataxonu glad to see you are messing with it more.The more ways this is possible the better it gets.

Ok I'll give it another try. Oh yeah 2 last q's. Since I'm using gameshark2v2 do I use the ps1 or the ps2 disc? And If the files are loaded correctly what should it look like on the screen?

Use the PS2 version GS2 to install the exploit.
once its installed you will get a black screen which says installation complete.
Simple right? =)

Ok, my dad bought an AR MAX for PS2 today. I read that you can use a digital camera/usb card to transfer saves to the memory card.
I tried using my digital camera to do this but it doesn't appear on the device manager screen. Do I need to put a .max save on it for it to appear on the device screen? I read on another forum that you need to put the Max Drive software on the USB card in order to use it. What software is he talking about!?
Someone PLEASE help me!

hey guys-
I can't get this figured out. I had my bin and cue files all made from cdgen. I load the disk I made and it says that installation is complete. When I try to access ps2menu with my trigger ps1 disk it doesn't load. The regular game loads instead. I made my title.db file with many different ps1 games with command prompt and also with titleman frontend. I think I have the title.db right. If someone can help me out I'd really appreciate it. I'm using SLUS-00617. thanks

Hey kujima I think you are using a game that is not listed in the title.db or either is not a PS1 game to launch the exploit.It should be like this,use your boot disc or modchip to install the exploit.After you have completed this plug in a PS1 original game to launch the exploit everytime.The Slus of the PS1 disc should be located in the title.db file.
Hey Doodmar the ARMax guide I found is on page 3 man.If you have the ARMax right,just follow that guide and then save it to the card that is in the digital camera.Then transfer using usb to your memory card.Sorry if I am not specific on this,but you might have to look around to find some way to transfer it.
Hey boaterw I think if you use the the newest title.db maker gui version,and inject the system.cnf file from the PS1 game in the program.It will fix the file title.db,should give it the correct set as Slus goes.I am sure you can find this off of http://www.ps2savetools.com somewhere in there.Another thing is when you have your Slus file like this man SLUS-00617,it can always be this way too SLUS_00617 notice the line that is splitting the numbers from the SLUS.The issue with fixing your Slus file can be fixed by using the system.cnf file from the game you are trying to get the Slus from.If you could try this way I am sure you will get it.If not go ahead and send me a private message and I will be sure you get the program and further help.

Well burna after making 5 coasters I think you're right I cant use that game =(. But the only question I have is this.. what did it install on the memory card if it did'nt work? When I check the memory card after the process it makes a 5k file. I also found some pretty good info for burning pgen rom disc too if anyone needs.

Hey kujima what do you mean only a 5k file man.If that is the size of it,then something is wrong in building the disc man.I would say try again,but it is really up to you man.I am not gonna force you to keep trying over,but we could still have that run in with the title.db file.That has to be fixed by editing it,and to do that you would need a certain program man.If you want to continue on trying to get it fixed and all the bad issues you are gonna have to give me some more details on how you went about making the disc,and stuff like that man.I can help you out on fixing the title.db file also this is not a problem.It is the compilation that gets people.If the files are not in the right order or just a small mistake it can end up giving you very bad results like you said man coasters.
