    Help please. I got the SLUS for my PS1 game now, but don't know how to make title.db. The link post in previous post is dead can't find title.db maker.

    Another question: How could I copy whatever that needs to be copy to the MC from the cd I burn with all that files in there?

    subscribed just to post this;

    went out and bought ARmax evo, decided 16 megs wasn't enough so i bought a jump drive trio at wally world ($20) hada 1 gig sd card so now i have 1 gig extra to play with.
    also wally world has 128 mb sd cards for $15 right now so for 35 bucks you could have 128 megs for your action replay media player or to carry extra files for pc too
    ALSO THANKS FOR THIS GUIDE
    i'll robly be postin ?'s in a few days

    Nevermind about Last post. I know how to get my PS1 game ID now, and know how to create the title.db file. Problem.

    On the first page::

    /FILES/PS2SMAP.IRX (Module)

    /FILES/UNRAR.IRX (Module)

    /FILES/SYSTEM.CNF (???)

    somewhere on the fifth or the sixth page:
    ******************
    PS2LINK.IRX
    PS2SMAP.IRX
    CDVD.IRX
    UNRAR.IRX
    SYSTEM.CNF
    *******************
    which on is correct. And My friend have gameshark, he put game shark in his ps2, it ask for a disk. I put the compiled CD-R, which I followed the instruction on the first page. PS2 ask a sony original CD or DVD.

    Sorry for bothering you guys, but i'm a noob at these things, with an AR MAX EVO, what files should i transfer to the memory card?

    And let's be honest, what we're tryin find here is a way to play burned copys without modchips or swapmagics, so, how can i load a ps2 game?

    I haver an european ps2, and some psx games, like toca touring car championchip, ridge racer, tony hawk's pro skater 2, etc, if that helps.

    ok i did everything u described it gets to the installing files screen, says installation complete but i reset my ps2 and nothing happens i'm using SWD v3.3 to boot my disc's, do i need a original Ps1 disc to make it launch? or can i use something else?

    also is it possible to make a elf file from my SWD 3.3 and if so how do i go about it?

    You have SWD? You mean Swap Magic Discs? (SMD).
    Anyways, I read that v3.3 has support to boot elf files from the memory card.... so you can use it instead of a PS1 game. You will need to get the SMBOOT file from the swap magic website...configure it....burn it to a disc...install to your MC... umm not too sure what you do after that?
    check the SM site for more information on what to do.

    @lt1rs

    Are you sure theres enough free space on your memory card?
    That message your getting indicates your MC is out of space.


    @tacticz

    You cant do that.

    I am pretty sure. It is brand new no(empty)it says on the outside of the card that it has 15 blocks of memory.
