mcloader + pukklink + ps2vfs -- HELP

[gutoAndreollo]

Ok.. i have an UNMODDED v7 ps2...
with a friend's v12, i installed mcLoader 1.35 (just the files that come on the packagem plus a titledb), and now with ps2vfs i already managed to install the ps2Reality and the ogg player

that is, i already know that ps2vfs is working and everything, but i can only install (and run) stuff thru it (since my ps2 is unmodded).. the exploit is already working, and my ps2 is now an amazing jukebox..

now, my problem is: i want to put pukklink (or ps2link, doesn't matter) on that same memory card, so i can test other stuff in there too.. seems easy enough, i got a hold of the files, rar 2.50, followed the instructions on mcloader's help, and built the file.. the mcupload.txt works perfectly (i've already got that figured out), but somehow, pukklink will not run.

now, my files:

mcupload.txt:

Code: Select all

{}
{PUKKLINK}
<pukklink.rar>
<copy.cnf>

pukklink.rar:

Code: Select all

PUKKLINK.ELF
PS2MAP.IRX
PS2IP.IRX
PKOLINK.IRX
IPCONFIG.DAT
(case sensitive)

copy.cnf (this is copied straight from MCLoader's (1.35) Readme.doc)

Code: Select all

TITLE PukkLink v1.0
RUN pukklink.rar {mc0:/BWLINUX/PUKKLINK/PUKKLINK.ELF}
LOAD rom0:SIO2MAN
LOAD rom0:MCMAN
LOAD vmc:\PS2REALITY\unrar.irx
REN mc0:/BWLINUX/PUKKLINK/PUKKLINK.ELF unrar:128KB[pukklink.elf]vmc:/PS2REALITY/PUKKLINK/pukklink.rar
REN mc0:/BWLINUX/PUKKLINK/PKOLINK.IRX unrar:64KB[PKOLINK.IRX]vmc:/PS2REALITY/PUKKLINK/pukklink.rar
REN mc0:/BWLINUX/PUKKLINK/PS2IP.IRX unrar:128KB[PS2IP.IRX]vmc:/PS2REALITY/PUKKLINK/pukklink.rar
REN mc0:/BWLINUX/PUKKLINK/PS2SMAP.IRX unrar:64KB[PS2SMAP.IRX]vmc:/PS2REALITY/PUKKLINK/pukklink.rar
REN mc0:/BWLINUX/PUKKLINK/IPCONFIG.DAT unrar:64KB[IPCONFIG.DAT]vmc:/PS2REALITY/PUKKLINK/pukklink.rar

additionally, this when i upload pukklink (thru mcloader's Install from ps2vfs), it installs the files on:

Code: Select all

/PS2REALITY/PUKKLINK/

however, when i start pukklink (from the applications menu or the MC browser, same thing), this is what i get:

Code: Select all

[logo and stuff]
Initializing...
Could not find IPCONFIG.DAT, using defaults
Net config: 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1
LoadIopHeap mc0:/BWLINUX/PUKKLINK/PS2IP.IRX ret -1

now, i AM certain that IPCONFIG.DAT is present (altho the default would work for me as well, i've checked), but from that file missing, and the return code on the load, i assume it could not find any other files but the elf
now, i am fairly certain that my problem lays within copy.cnf.. could anyone please help me out with this (or, more like running anything on this way, launchelf, ps2menu, ps2menu-k, whatever, but only thru this method of loading)

thx in advance

O.o i feel stupid...
i was missing unrar.irx on /PS2REALITY

anyways, adding unrar.irx to the folder, plus adding
<unrar.irx>
as the second line in mcupload.txt solved the problem

mods, please delete this silliness, unless you find it usefull as a tutorial
