How to make your own Memory Card Exploit using the Independence Installer

If the Dvd game is small like 500MB in size you can use a tool like C.M.P. patcher v1.1 to patch the game to CD.You can rip Dvd games over the 700MB size also to cd-r,but requires more cd-rs to be used,and is alot harder to do .Dvd media just makes it easier to backup your games,making it where there is no need to go through all the extra steps.It is more convenient to have a dvd burner,well worth it in my opinion.You can get Dual Layered burners for like 80 dollars now also,so it is affordable and would be less of a hassle.If you plan on using a cd-recorder then you will have to learn more advance ripping techniques.Trust me it is harder to rip a Dvd game to numerous cd-r discs than to just burn a dvd game to dvd media.Like a_l_e_x said if a cd-r media can hold 700MB and there is a dvd game that is 500MB,you can patch it to cd-r and have the game pick up in the PS2 with a cd-r.

 

My problem is I just forked out money on swap magic and I ordered a custom blue crystal case w/flip top for my ps2. So the dvd burner is going to have to wait. I have looked at tutorials and think that FTP straight to the playstation is probably the best way, even thought it may be more difficult. But once it is set up, you don't need to worry about dvd or cd. I am an image burning maniac. If I can put it on a harddrive, what's the point of using discs.

 

Since am here now, I would like to know how i can make a cd-r with multiple elf files on it.

I have a matrix Infinity, and i can store like 5 apps on the memcard,
I would like to know how to make a cd with multiple elf's on it.

I made lik 6 cd's of about 3 MB per cd now :S kind of a waste i think, if i could at least put 15 Mb of apps on cd. am a happy man.

I just dont know what i should alter in the INSTALL files.

1 install file with multiple commands?
or multiple files with "normal" commands?

 

Try independence compiler 2.2 @ www.ausdigital.net - it makes the whole process very easy!

 

thx

 

In his post he was questioning "watching DVD's on CD-R". So I assumed he was refering to movies not games. I know games can be burnt to a CD-R and played back fine. But movies are different. If you burn a DVD format onto a CD-R it is not a valid DVD format and will not be playable in all DVD players. That's what I meant. Sorry if I misunderstood.

 

yeah pity the ps2 doesn't natively support VCD, but there is the programming tools out there (@ ps2dev.org) you just have to use it. The ps2 has a full hardware mpeg2 decoder.. so why not use it ;-)

 

Yep, and why wud u want 4 GB DVD-R's, if u can play 700 MB DivXand Xvid

I watched 2 DivX movies on my ps2 today. I only had to install the PS2 reality elf on my memcard, start it up, and put in the avi i burned on a cd-r as plain data with nero startsmart.

 

I just stream it over my wireless network

 

I tried that, but i did it wrong, or i don't understand it :S

 

So I got the trigger disk to boot up and everything worked great a grand total of ONE time, even played Vice City off the hard drive. My concern is I tried to swap some elf files and now it will load all the way up to the point where it is sposed to have a grey GUI where you can manuever your way to the elfs. Then it just turns a solid grey and says "It is currently using mode 4". Any help here.

I'm not sure what has happened and the only advice I can offer is to reinstall the exploit. But dont take my word as gospel wait and see if someone more knowledgeable suggests something better.

 

I know this is a lame question but ill ask anyway.. Ive burned the expoit startup disc multiple times on multiple media, im using a swap mag 3.0 disc.. but when I try to boot the exploit disc it will not go, it just sits there reading.. Am I supposed to be seeing files copy?

Im using the Idependence compiler 2.2 with just some of the standard elfs, and keylauncher loader..

Any suggestions would be greatly apprieciated..

 

WOOHOO! All I had to do was plug the HD into my 'puter and reformat it. Something to do with the flags on the HD (I think). I used codebreaker (I really recommend it if you have a JumpDrive OR HDD, Will detect and let you transfer between MC, JumpDrive, AND HDD. Plus saves on CD-R since you can just swap the JD between 'puter and PS2).

I also used swap magic (V2.0 i think) and had lots of probs with the burning part. What I found out is that if you are using nero, when you click the iso tab and are choosing Mode, ISO Level, and Charactor set, on my nero joliet was checked as default. UNCHECK IT! That was the only default setting on nero that I had to change that wasn't covered in any walkthoughs I read. I made about 23 frisbees before I caught on to that. The independance compiler v2.2 (I got mine off of Ausdigital.net) Should work just fine. Thats the one I used. If you use codebreaker and have a jumpdrive, make sure you make the appropriate .cbe save files.

 

how do you set ur jump drive?
I think thats why mine wont boot from memory card?
Im using 160GB Maxtor Diamond Max Plus 9!
can someone show me how to put jumper on master?

 

You need a patched HDLoader for hard drives over larger hard drives, its been that long since I read it, I can't remember whether it's drives over 80GB or 120GB.

There should be a diagram on your hard drive showing you hpw to set the jumper. The double plastic clip comes out and is set in the position of the diagram.

 

From what I understand, so far you can only patch up to a 120GB. But I am known to be wrong on occasion.

And I also found out according to my prior post, I didn't have to format the HD at all. I just switched to the keylauncher.elf. For some reason, PS2Menu(I think, is the blocky lookin grey CMOS type GUI)and now my hdloader works fine. Hasn't froze since.

 

can i burn the .bin file?
i dont see no .cue file?
Imusing a different guide that has patched hdloader
it is at:
http://users.tpg.com.au/adslgvfk/MC.html

 

There is a patched 48bit Hdloader with "toxic os" core (more compatibilty or something) at exploitstation.com click on ELFs

(I dont host it on my site because it is illegal to host that file).

Independence compiler 3.0 is out at www.ausdigital.net - It now outputs ISO files and XPS files making the process VERY simple!

 

so, do i just burn the .cue or .bin
or both??
I need a reply quickly?
.cue is so small its like 1kb its a waste of cd space
