Deba5er has a tool for controlling the mouse with the PS2 pad. The DISC.BIN was created with Ubuntu the following way: dd if=/dev/zero of=DISC.BIN bs=1024 count=$[ 1024 * 1024 ] mkfs.ext2 -I 128 DISC.BIN mkdir /mnt/disc mount -o loop DISC.BIN /mnt/disc Then I extracted the files from...

I don't know what you want. X-Window is already running. Window maker is not part of deba5er's version. If nobody has a backup of the files from the Blackrhino server, all files are lost.

In my final ISO I forgot to copy the correct win3 script. So NTSC may not work correctly. The ISO must be recreated to fix this.

I will check out GSModeselector and try to put it into Linux or kernelloader.

Thanks for your report. I think this will help people to decide to use it or not. But at least it is now a DVD and everybody can easily try it, even if there are some restrictions on use or usabilty. I didn't see the problem with the lost left side of the screen. I used FBAS. Now I connected my RGB ...

To get around all the USB problems on the slim PSTwo, I created a Live Linux DVD. I used the files from deba5er to create it. There is no modchip required. I don't know if this works when you have modchip.

File: ps2livedvd_v1.zip

My assumption is that DVD access is not working. Kernelloader tries to read a configuration from a disc if no configuration can't be found on the memory card (mc0). This behaviour is implemented since version 1.8. So version 1.6 shouldn't have this problem (which doesn't fit to the first post, maybe...

The files "usb.c" and "usb.h" are part of the new USB initialisation on IOP side. I've forgot to add these files to CVS. It should now work. There should be no LIBSD patch needed, when using the new intrelay module.

USB heavy load has still problems. When I use the new modules, it doesn't hang, but writes wrong data to the USB memory stick. I assume that writing the data from EE to IOP memory fails. So the OHCI chip reads random garbage from IOP memory and writes it to the USB bus. You can get the new version f...

Can you please post your ROM version, because I want to fix the auto-detection? LaunchELF has a info tool for this in the misc group.

The only similar problem which I had, was caused by FreeMcBoot, but then it wasn't loading any module. The last modules loaded are the USB and keyboard modules. So it may possible that it is caused by USB, but it also tries to access CD/DVD in this moment. Please check if you have a readable disc in...

Hello, you don't have to delete all data on your hard disc. The description use this way, because it is easier to describe. It is more difficult to describe all possible combinations. To be able to keep your stuff, you need to understand what partitions are and how Linux partitions are created. If y...

There is no pfs support for Linux 2.6 available. At least you can use apascan to mount Linux partitions on hard discs with the Sony partitioning scheme.

So you can directly install PS2 Linux using your xubuntu.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/kernelloader/files/ Uploaded new file vmlinux_fat_and_slim_v3.gz. This supports ps2fs. You need to know the partition name. In this example the partition "__common" is mounted: mkdir /mnt/common mount -t ps2fs -o ro,partition=__common /dev/hda /mnt/common

It is possible to tell kernelloader to change the mode before starting Linux. This may help: http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=10156&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=101 The RTE version of the SBIOS may have better support for DTV. To be able to start this version, the CDVD SBIOS ca...

Currently I am not working at the free sound modules. I found something that can help me writing the sdrdrv.irx module, but I didn't checked it yet. I added an automatic patch to the CVS version of kernelloader. So newer releases will automatically patch it. This will stay for the RTE modules. For t...

@Mega Man I got the same behaviour with my v15, when using the sound modules from RTE. As far as I remember, USB was working after changing from "intrelay-direct-rpc.irx" to "intrelay-dev9-rpc.irx". The default configuration is here wrong. I fixed this in CVS. Thanks for the inf...

This sounds interesting. I don't have a PS3. I never thought about using the dollar sign in variable names. You confused "$r" and "r" and checked the variables in the wrong order. The value of "r" is invalid if the return value of SifExecModule is lesser than 0. So the ...

The renumbering of the USB device happens if the USB interrupts are not working. I got the same behaviour with my v15, when using the sound modules from RTE. As far as I remember, USB was working after changing from "intrelay-direct-rpc.irx" to "intrelay-dev9-rpc.irx". The defaul...

Hello, I tried to add the module ps2http.irx to my kernelloader, but the module was not working. So I fixed the following: - Fixed detection of leading slashes. One slash was stripped by the file system infrastructure. The module expected two leading slashes. - The IP address format wasn't correctly...

Now I've got the information that "0220EC20060210" is the content of rom0:ROMVER on an Australian SCPH-77002. Maybe "E" only means PAL. I assume that on an American console there is a "J". So I don't know how to detect the DVD region.

Ok, I checked it and your are right. I have a BIOS dump of a SCPH-77002 (Australian). Now I've dumped my SCPH-77004 BIOS (Europe/German). The ROM dumps are identical for both regions. When I read the file ROMVER from the ROM dump, I get 0220JC20060210 for both consoles. But when I read rom0:ROMVER u...

Sorry, I've no further idea.

The ps2link connection sometimes looses lines if you print too much. You should also modify a printed line to verify that your code reaches the target.

Now I know that the problem is caused by the file rom0:ROMVER. The content is 0220JC20060210. The "J" is used as region code, so kernelloader will only work on a Japanese console. I assume that they use the same ROM0 on all regions. Kernelloader will also use NTSC. Sony must store the regi...

This is only available if the HDD adapter is connected or if the program is running on slim PSTwo. I didn't test it, but the function ps2ip_getconfig() seems to read it if you loaded the network modules. There is the attribute hw_addr in the second parameter. I think the netif_name is "sm0"...

I forgot that Linux has the full support for it on the fat PS2, but at least the IDE ATAPI CDROM driver need to be enabled.
On the slim PSTwo it may work with v12 if you have the hardware extension, but it will not work with v14 or higher.

Ok, I think the problem is usbd.irx and not ps2kbd.irx, because usbd.irx is responsible for UsbSetDeviceConfiguration. You can try to use a usbd.irx from a PS2 game disc. Some old versions are compatible (at least with ps2kdb.irx). As far as I remember the version included in naplink was working wit...

The failed call to UsbSetDeviceConfiguration() didn't set the configuration, so every try to use an USB endpoint will stall. I add here an explanation, because you may to solve the problem by experimenting: An USB endpoint is a one way pipe to communicate to the USB device. The only way for a device...

Maybe there are connection problems: 1. Try to plug it out and reconnect the keyboard. 2. You should only use a USB hub with power supply or connect the keyboard directly to the USB port of the PS2. There was also a bug in the USB driver (usbd.irx) which could generate such errors, so use a newer US...

Oh, I forgot about SwapMagic. I think it is possible to use it for the Linux Live DVD.

So the eromdrvloader.irx problems are not caused by modchips.
