Hey im just starting to use cygwin and im a real noob, ive setup the cygwin environment and im trying to run mips64r5900-sf-elf-gdb debugger the instructions say:

1. Copy mips64r5900-sf-elf-gdb.exe to you ee/bin folder (e.g. on my system it's c:\cygwin\usr\local\ps2dev\ee\bin).
2. Make a link with "ln -s mips64r5900-sf-elf-gdb.exe ee-gdb.exe" and you should be ready to go.

There's a ps2.cmd command file there to try out. It loads the stub, inserts a breakpoint and continues execution to that
breakpoint. Launch with "ee-gdb -x ps2.cmd".

So i put "ln -s mips64r5900-sf-elf-gdb.exe ee-gdb.exe" into cygwin and i get this:

ln: creating symbolic link `ee-gdb.exe' to `mips64r5900-sf-elf-gdb.exe': File exists

I think that worked, but then i put in "ee-gdb -x ps2.cmd" to try and run the debugger and i get this:

bash: ee-gdb: command not found

Can somebody help me?

looks to me like your path is set up wrong, im not familiar with the debugger, but it seems to me that you need to add the ee/bin folder to your path.

hmm i think ive figured it out but now i need my ps2's ip address what is the best way to find this out?

You provide it.

but i dont know what it is

You are the one that decides it, based upon your network setup.

ok do i need to boot any files/elf's on my ps2 for the debugger to work, because i tried two things:

i had my ps2 just switched on and i tried to use the debugger i typed

target remote 192.168.0.1:12

and i got Connection Timed Out

So i tried starting an online game on my ps2 so the network adapter would activate but then i get Connection Refused

btw my ps2 is connected to my ps2 via a crossover cable and i use internet connection sharing

anyone?

You sound like you are trying to hack official games here, we don't do that here.
