you do have to patch the games with esr disc patcher for esr to recognize it as a ps2 game. im not sure about the disc types but i use dvd-r without any problems.

you dont need patches for specific games normally. i'm at work now so i don't have access to the links. but you just need to google esr disc patcher. when you have it downloaded just hit patch browse for the iso, the it normally doesn't take a full second to complete. once thats done, burn go to esr program on ps2 put in disc the have fun.

Hi ,

I just got into the home-brew world a shot while ago (1-2 years), and I had a ton of questions as well as problems. Thanks to Google, AfterDawn, and a handful of other resources I have been able to do nearly anything I attempt without have to ask for help. I will tell you in advance though, it is a lot of reading. Anyway. You need a patcher program, so I have given download links to a few patchers below along with screen-shots and hashes.

Recommendation
I highly recommend using SkipScreen

for Mozilla FireFox as it will greatly

improve your downloading experience.

SkipScreen will nearly automate the

download process for you.

The only irritation i have now is that it brings up ulaunch after ESR boots and makes me search for the disc before it will boot it, any ideas on this one guys cause id like to have it just boot through ESR straight to the game

Did you install FMCB & ESR individually, or did you use the noobieackage? I only ask because I put the noobie package on my card when I was first learning about soft-modding. When I start my PS2 it will pull up the modified browser menu, but as soon as I put in an ESR patched game it will automatically read it and load ESR. From there all I have to do is make it start.

Just so I'm 100% positive that I understand your issue however, please let me know if this is correct. When you turn on your PS2 it loads the modified browser, then when you put a game it it will load ESR and then uLE (uLaunchELF) comes up and you have to search for your disc before you may play.

I had some issues with loading things and uLE popping up, but I don't remember how I fixed it. My PS2 is at my cousin's house right now, but I'll be going to get it here in an hour or so. When I get back with it, I will mess with it until I can create the same scenario you are having.

ya it boots into the ULE after the ESR boot screen and i have to do the file browser go into cdfs then down to the SLES_102.11 and click it to boot the game each one of those number is different for each game but thats just an example to give in my discription
id like it to just boot into the game and bypass the Ulaunch my brother uses it and isnt very electronicly literate thats the biggest reason i want it to just boot

are you making sure you select launch dvd and not launch app. if you select launch app it takes you to ulaunch, if you select launch dvd at least on mine it starts the game.

the way i boot it is i have the noobie package of free mcboot installed on my memory card. when the ps2 boots up instead of the standard menu it has a special free mcboot menu where you can select the apps on your memory card such as hdloader, sms, and esr. i go to esr and it opens up the program at the top of the program it has 3 tabs which say launch dvd, launch app, and launch opsys. if i choose launch dvd it starts the dvd in the tray. if i start launch app it takes me straight to ulaunch. also if i start the ps2 with a esr patched game in the disc tray, if i dont do anything it automatically opens the esr program. this is great for the usb version of snes station because you have to have a game in the tray to access the save features. that way i just go to launch app browse to the usb drive and start the snes elf.

I use ESR Beta r9b. It works exactly as dravn8004 stated. That is what I was trying to explain in my last post, but being as I did not have my PS2 with me I could not remember what the tab labels were. By the sounds of things, it seems like you have the same setup as dravn8004 and I do. My best guess is that something may not be properly configured.
