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

Speaking of the PSP, I was rummaging through some homebrew applications on the POPS PSX emulator made by Sony on how to transfer saves... You can transfer PSX saves to your Memory Stick Pro Duo through weltall's CWCheat 0.1.6 REV.I by this PSP via USB directly to the PS2. (http://dl.qj.net/CWcheat-0.1.6-REV.I-for-POPS-and-PSP-GAMES-PSP-Homebrew-Applications/pg/12/fid/12902/catid/151, read the readme)

Now this is just newbie speculation, but would it be possible to modify this application to dump the MC exploit onto a PS2 memory card without using traditional methods?

The reason I ask is because my GS doesn't seem to run on both my fat and slim PS2s anymore.

 

i was tryin to boot hdloader.elf from my usb flashdrive. But it isnt working for me. Can i launch applications with my Swapmagic 3.3?from usb flashdrive?

 

i've never personally tried to run HDL from the USB, but if you're even able to get that far, why not have uLaunchElf do it for you? i assume you have a HDD in your system, why not put the elf file(s) in a folder on the hdd, and set buttons in ULE to pick your files for you? can your system even use the flash drive? if so, copy from usb to hdd, maybe even memcard. HDL is not a very big file. i cant say what swap magic will do since i do not own it. but i assume that you should be able to copy files from USB to HDD or MC. give it a shot. post back asap.

 

I've got a problem with my ps2. My friend did the slide card + MC exploit done to it and everything was good. Hd loader booted up like normal and everything was fine until I lent my ps2 to someone and she somehow managed to fusk it up. Now the exploit won't work anymore. I thought there was something wrong with the HDD so i connected it to the comp and everythings fine with it. My question is can i run the cd-r with the MC exploit on it without anything else because my ps2 alrdy had the slide card method done on it.

 

nevermind about that. i finally ran HDL from my usb drive and guess what? it worked. i'm not excited about it or nothing, just thought i'd let someone know that it works. you know, for those who have trouble doing whatever.



azngamer:
you might just have to redo the exploit from the beginning. if you used the slide card method to do your exploit in the first place, then it shouldnt be too hard to do it over. did the person lose or break your trigger cd? if so then that might be a problem. did you check your memory card? you might want to make sure that your config file is still in tact. if it is no longer there or the file size is really small, then you will have to redo the exploit.

 

I've checked my memory card and the config file is like 5 kb. If i redo the exploit will i need the hd loader disk? Can i just do it with the burnt cd-r that installs the exploit onto the memory card? And do you know why this happened? Just so i can explain it to make her stop feeling bad about it.

 

whatever... make her feel bad.

actually i dont know why that would happen. other than files being deleted. maybe one of those blocks on the memory card that said "corrupt folder" or something got deleted but was actually some system file that the exploit needed. and the config file should be around 1000KB+ depending on what you have with your exploit

if you have a ModChip in your system that can read burnt CD-r then yes you can. but normally NO. or hell no. whichever one drives the message home. just do the exploit the same way you did it before. or if you had someone else do it, then let me know so we can go over there like the mafia and threaten to break some fingaz and legs if it doesn't get redone.

 

i think my usb sticks are uncompatible with my ps2 so i purchased a 64mb usb stick from draxter which says usb stick specially for ps2.. i might receive him tomorrow. ill let u know if it will work.. and i just wanted to minimize the times that i swap discs. if i can run hdloader.elf from my usb stick automatically then all i need is to put SM3.3 and automatically load hdl and choose my game

 

swapping discs?? the only time i need to swap anything is when i am loading cheat codes. do the exploit!!!!!

the exploit will eliminate the need to keep swapping discs (unless you're using cheat codes like me)

ULaunchElf is my loading prg. i use that to launch whatever elf files i have. then i set HDL as my default so it loads up automatically after 5 seconds (unless i want to do something else like cheat codes)

 

i have read that xploit stuff some year ago and i saw that you need an original ps1 game or something which i dont have.. and are you launching ULaunch from ur usb stick??... if you dont mind can you give me instructions how you do that?.. and i use swapmagic to load my burnt copy of hdloader

 

i wouldn't think that it'd be hard to find a ps1 cd somewhere, but whatever. no, i don't launch from usb, so i cant give any instructions on that stuff. it could prob'ly be done with a mod chip, but i don't have one. i just use the ps1 cd to trigger my exploit. ULaunchElf is just my loading program (on memory card) that runs everything else either from hdd or mc. if you're gonna use swap magic, then you should find a tutorial on how to use swap magic as your trigger cd. i don't even know if that's possible. i never had swapmagic so i didn't bother reading about it. www.exploitstation.com or www.ps2hd.com afterdawn might have something on it too.

 

are u using a ps1 disc to boot ulaunchelf from ur mem. card or it automatically boots when you turn on your ps2?

 

CD. it triggers the exploit, and you have to have a loading prg, like launch elf to run everything else. check out the other sites to see what you can do with your swap magic.

 

Okay. I just burned 3 exploit cds and none of them seem to work with Gameshark 2.0 I turn on my ps2, put in the gameshark cd, and select start game w/o codes. Then I use my slide card and push the pin to the right, swap the gameshark disc for my exploit, push it back in and lock it with the pin. I press x on the controller and everything just freezes. I've spent hours reading up on forums and everything and found nothing except maybe trying to boot cdloader or cogswaploader then my exploit cd. Does anyone know the exploit won't install? And what is cogswap/cdloader and where can i get it? Can i download it and burn it instead of buying it?

 

sorry that i cant explain why it wont install, the only thing i can come up with is that you're not following the tutorials 100% and doing something wrong.

cogswap/cdloader is just not gonna do you any good, UNLESS YOU CAN RUN ELF FILES. otherwise you'd just be spinning your wheels and going nowhere. what it is, is a program that allows you to play backups (or burned discs) yes you should be able to download and burn it.

i think that you should try to make an HDLoader swap disc. you will need to follow the tutorials to do that. but along with that hdl, you will need to make an exploit installer iso as well. i dont know how to do these things, and i cannot help you with them (not much anyway). what you would do is, do what you need to swap in the HDL, and somehow get the exploit installer iso to run FROM hdl. i sound like a crazy man talking crazy mess. but something is possible for you. i just cant really help you with much since i dont have the same tools.

 

So using this exploit I can swap out the ps1 trigger disc and then put in my burnt ps2 game?

 

Oh ok I get it now, I can use cogswap for that.

 

Well... I just got a new ps2 (finally XD). It's a Slim and I already taped the mobo sensor and made lil' cardboard tabs for the other two. It runs with the lid on or off so that's all good. But every time I try to run my GameShark v2 to load the exploit installer, It just freezes after GameShark finishes loading. It doesn't even get to the point where it loads up the code list off the shark memory card thing. It worked fine on my chubby Ps2 before it broke... Would it be cheaper to get SwapMagic or buy a GameShark v2 or AR from ebay or something? or are there solderless modchips that are inexpensive? What do you guys reccomend?

 

Can you please update the links!?!!? I can't find a guide with working links...

Links with all the needed files and stuff.


Thanks

 

i say get a codebreaker. i think that if you get that and a flash drive, you should be able to load some kind of exploit installer onto the flash drive, and use code breaker to run it as if it was a codebreaker file. try www.sksapps.com for the files you need.
