Did someone try to boot a ps2dev binary on ps3?

Post by ps2devman »

Any lucky owner of ps3 able to try a ps2dev binary on a bootable cd?

In case you don't know how to make one here is a way :

let's say you have a PS2 executable compiled with ps2dev named ps2link

you create a text file named system.txt (with unix-like line separators) :
BOOT2 = cdrom0:\PS2LINK.ELF;1
VER = 1.10
VMODE = NTSC

then you rename it into system.cnf (once renamed XP won't let you edit it)
then you add a big dummy file (20Mb) and elf file and needed files for it
then you use cdgenPS2.exe to create .bin and .cue of cd-rom image
and you burn image on cd-r with alcohol 120% at 16x in sao/dao mode.

of course better try with smaller program first, such as basic samples supplied with ps2dev.

I would say, just confirm no surprise happens...

No surprises: the burned disc doesn't show up at all under the game menu.
