Only if you have a modchip in your system because an unmodified PS2 can only read offical PS1 CD's/offical PS2 CD's/DVD's. There are swap tricks but these are forbidden to...

Do people not even bother just trying anymore? You've got winzip, you've got a file... see if it will open for you. You don't have to wait for someone else to say ok. :) Sorry, It wouldnt extract with winzip. Plus dont you have to register for winrar after a 30 day free trial? Screw it, ill jus do ...

Never tested it though...

Just remember that to view the forums over at PS2 Scene, you have to be a PS2 Scene member.

Thanks, but when i downloaded it, the file extension was .tar The link on the site when i downloaded it was ________.tar.gz Sometimed Internet Explorer does that, It decompresses the gz on the fly as it downloads, but doesn't update the extension accordingly. Or Vice Versa. I hevent used IE in a wh...

I like to mention a warning about UAE. If you do release UAE for PS2, it must not contain the Amiga Kickstart roms since Amiga INC doesn't allow the Kickstart roms to be downloaded from the NET/ & the Kickstart roms can't be included/packaged with the Amiga Emu. People who want to use an Amiga E...

ole wrote:can't wait to see UAE working on the ps2.... :) What about the Atari ST emu you mentioned earlier? Any progress?

So would I. UAE on PS2 would be great since the Amiga has so many freeware programs & in fact, a good amount of commerical companies are allowing downloads of their old Amiga progs.

My PS2 isn't dead yet & it is still working fine. It's a launch model which I purchased used on EBAY during March 2002.

Thinking about it some more I realized that if I wanted to stay up to date, or help ps2link stay up to date i should just go out and buy the X-Port. http://www.pricegrabber.com/search.php?topcat_search=1&form_keyword=X-Port&topcat_id=&Search=Search Time to wipe off some of those old ass...

The MAME emulator for PS2 is based off of an older distro of Mame & it really isn't that good anyway. It would be better for someone to port the current source distro of Mame to PS2. The current Mame for PS2 is just a tech demo. The author isn't working on it anymore, they never release the sour...

hi! is there any text editor i can load from ps2menu or other elf application to edit textfiles on hd or mc? i didnt find anythin in google etc thanks Not that I know of. If you want a text editor for PS2, you will have to create one of port a text editor to PS2 since right now, there is no text ed...

Well, in fairness he checked first on ps-scene.org and someone directed him here. I almost posted on ps2-scene.org suggesting it might not be a good idea considering everything, but was conflicted on whether to discourage posting in advance. I was the person on PS2 Scene who directed HONGXING to ps...

To people who own Codebreaker 8 or Action Replay Max Evo can now use these tutorials. There is a new release of PS2 Save Builder at http://www.ps2savetools.com/download.php?op=viewdownloaddetails&lid=74&ttitle=PS2_Save_Builder . This new version can create save files for Codebreaker & Ac...

Eh eh Mr Brown I still wonder how did you find this buffer overflow (yep yep again a strcpy...so common but...), what was passing thru your brains... what was your idea ? You're definitively an ET in my opinion :D Eugene, since there is a XPO/XPS/MAX converter available, a chapter using Max Drive A...

Next tutorial is for people who have an unmodified PS2 console with an HDD who have followed the above tutorials. Well, before PS2MENU can be able to access the HDD, you will have to create a HDD file partition. First of all, you will need PS2 Save Builder (links are posted in my above posts) & ...

New Tutorial: How to get homebrew on the mem card using Xport. Well, since you now have PS2MENU on your mem card, you will probably now want to run some homebrew thru PS2MENU. Here is how we get homebrew of the mem card so you can run them thru PS2MENU. For this example, I am going use the freeware ...

Next tutorial is for people with a Japanese console: To get the exploit on a Jap console using the X-Port, you will need to: Download Exploit save Files - Xport format , PS2 Menu & Titleman frontend (win32) from http://www.ps2savetools.com/download.php?op=viewdownload&cid=7 Download PS2 Save...

Well, I'm a moderator of the Homebrew section at PS2 scene & I wrote several tutorials at PS2 Scene on how to help newbies to get the PS2 Indy Exploit & homebrew software on unmodified PS2's. I am posting it here also because it might help keep the newbies from keeping posting about how to g...

Well, I believe an Atari ST emulator for PS2 would be an excellant idea. I never owned an Atari ST but there are many freeware/shareware homebrew games written for the Atari ST.

I haven't done to many tests using PS2MENU but I did do one recently with PS2 ScummVM.

PS2 ScummVM ( http://www.volny.cz/molej/ps2/ ). Loads up & runs. I didn't get it to load up any Lucasarts games but I will try again sometime soon.

Yep, this has happened to me also & it sucks.

Well, the EBAY link is now invalid so it looks like EBAY probably cancelled the auction.

I think as someone else posted somewhere else, the audio "trick" reading had been around for a while, what makes you think it has been ripped off? (not being arsey, just curious) Teclis probably thought that Datel ripped off UMCDR since UMCDR also used the audio trick to load homebrew sof...

Well, I voted for No since guests are more likely to ask questions releasted to the PS2 Warez scene such as how to load up backups, et al.

Oh, BTW, www.ps2newz.net "shutdown" whatever that's supposed to mean. Beware the fallout :P. Actually, www.ps2newz.net shutdown so they could move domains & is now called Consolenewz & it is located at http://www.consolenewz.net/ . About 1-2 months ago, the moderator at Consolenew...

well is there anyway i can just buy the linux software becuz i already have a mouse, keyboard, HDD. The answer is no. If you want the PS2 Linux software, you will have to purchase the Linux kit because Sony doesn't sell the software seperatly. Or, you or some else could try to port an open source w...

Well, the definition of warez differes with each & every person. Even though PS2DEV does use the syscalls & stuff which is from Sony, I don't consider PS2DEV to be warez. IMO, if someone programs a game using the PS2DEV tools & then tries to sell the game then it is warez because the pro...

Calvin, I think that it's excellent that you & your students are porting SDL to the PS2. I really believe that SDL can help ease the development pains associated with programming the PS2. Basically, IMO, a SDL port would enable people to port games, applications (music players, emulators), et al...

I have an idea. Maybe some of the PS2 programmers could come together & start a PS2 programming group to port both SDL & Allegro to native PS2. Both of these libraries would really help to bring more homebrew software to the PS2. Homebrew software is lacking on the PS2 since the PS2 is harde...
