Put BEDATA-SYSTEM.ps2 on your USB stick then load up Xploder v5. Go into Memory Manager/Save games then have the USB stick as your source and your MC as the target and transfer the BEDATA-SYSTEM.ps2 file to the MC.

You'll notice that the file name on the MC will be something like Independence-Exploit. That's it! Xploder did what it was meant to do. If the file remains the same on the MC then you've compile your exploit incorrectly. Go back and start fresh. It will work!

hi smokeyrain haha i knew you would possibly reply. yes all the info i have gathered was actually from you and i saw your reply on console exploits thats when i saw afterdawn and realised you posted on afterdawn more often then console exploit.

i was just doing a practice run when i put my bedata-system.ps2 file from usb to mc , mine dont change file name to independence exploit. it just remains the same bedta-system.ps2 file name even after reboot of ps2 .

edit - ah i have just re read that tutorial and it says to save the save build file name as .md - codeshark but i was saving it as the nearest format . ie . xpldoer v4 when my xploder was version v5 . so i will try that now and update

origiinally i wanted to keep all my ps2 games one format . as i also wanted to eventually transfer all ps2 games to iso onto hdd for hda/hdl playing method . but i might scrap that idea as all network apaters on ebay have suddeenly increase to about 30 quid !!!

so yeah your right , i might just esr patch all future ps2 game back up . i have read it and it seems its only 5 second job to esr patch but do you have any good links for me ?
you found the links, they are here

so ... obviously all my esr patched games, when 'IF' i do eventually transfer to iso for hda/hdl . will hda/hdl still reocnginse esr patched isos .???

Yes it will still recognize the esr patched discs, but transferring games to hdd is better done by using the ISO image and not from disc. So the ESR disc patcher has an unpatch also

2a
also are esr patched games problematic ? like same priciple applies need to be on good quality dvd media ?
yes its the same principle yet, nothing different to do but just patch the ISO , burn with imgburn

also when i installed my fmcb v1.8 for noobies . i realise it has old version of ulaunch v4.30 beta!?!?! but skspps have v3.47 ? so is it possible to install the new version of ulaunch without having to go through ps1 trigger disc again ? can i just copy over the boot.elf file from usb to mc?

edit update: i have manage to save 2 out of the 7 duff dvd games cogswap couldnt load by using sm38 coder elf instead using mgs 2 sons of liberty as toc refresh. after making sure the 2 duff game loads in sm38 double checked , i re tried cogswap to no avail . so it must be cogswap incompatible . ill have to try dvd loader and zone loader .


haha yes you are right , i suspected it was that code post i did ; as i am typing on a 8" inch screen acer aspire one . so i was finding it hard to read also. so thanks for that tip , i have re edited that post.

by the way , thx for every thing you have help me with . i have learnt alot from you .

i got esr program included in my fmcb noobies 1.8 package which is ESR.ELF about 384 kb , but the new esr beta 9b i downloaded has :
ESR beta r9b dvdv direct off.elf - 29b
ESR beta r9b dvdv direct.elf - 29 kb
ESR beta r9b mcard.elf - 29kb

so i can overwite that esr.elf file with the i presume i shoud use mcard version, but why is the newer versoin (29kb ) is smaller then older (384kb ) version ?

but i read on other forums i cannot use mcard , i need to turn off some settings and inject dvdelf (which i have just done so) ?
