Mods for the PSX DVR?

OPL opens fine but I only have access too the setting screen, I don't know how to use it haha

ESR just says invalid disc (PAL originals) have not tried an esr patched disc..

Laser is fine but I have no JAP games to try, wouldn't it still read a burned disc?? Or are we being locked out via the drive firmware?

 

Press CIRCLE to access the game lists, after enabling the device modes (HDD, ETH and/or USB).

ESR boots only ESR-patched discs. Your PAL originals won't work.

No it wouldn't. It's a hardware lockout.

Maybe it would if the drive is left in "WRI" mode, but I got FMCB to switch it to PS2 mode because no PS2 homebrew software ou thtere supports the "WRI" mode.

OHOHOH. Why haven't I thought of this? I think that the original (28-bit LBA only) HDLoader can be used to install games on this thing.

 

I just tested it BACKUPS NOW BOOT!! YAY They must be esr patched though

 

I tried the 28-bit LBA hdloader,....no go.

 

My HDL_dump_rev36 was compiled on 3rd November but chinese fixes was at 1st November. I hope that i compiled it with the latest ps2sdk )) But i don't know if dvr supports unencrypted partitions...

 

Nope, it will think it's a SCPH-10000 and will print that "this console version is not supported" blah blah blah message.

 

It's caused by rom0:LIBSD not being present. Stupid check!

I suppose that it would work, if the "rom0:LIBSD" string within the ELF is overwritten with something that exists like "rom0:MCMAN"?

 

There's PLIBSD and TLIBSD though ... lol Which one is suitable for HDLOADER to load ?

 

Does not work (DESR-5000).Message appears: "Bad APA partition table."

 

Encryption is transparent, the stuff running on the console should not be able to see anything encrypted.

 

A generally healthy after the break to appear at the forum and see so many new posts on the topic. The work continues!!!
Remains relevant question whether there is a tool for working with HDD? (may be an experimental Ule?)

 

The current version of uLE will work fine on the PSX if compiled with the current SDK (which SP193 worked hard to make compatible with the PSX a few months ago).

 

Yes, the current Ule works great (thanks sp193 and l_oliveira ). But the hard drive does not see it (maybe something I don't understand).

 

I said "compiled with the latest SDK". The same SDK changes that made OPL work on the PSX make uLE work on the PSX as well.

NEW uLE compiled with OLD SDK will not detect PSX HDD. Will even cause PSX to crash. Will need to power cycle the PSX to exit crash condition.

 

I'm sorry to ask such a stupid question, but can you show me a link to download uLE and OPL compiled with the new PS2SDK? I can't seem to find them :/

 

Ok I compiled new version of hdl_dump. Maybe someone can try it? LINK Command is

. I need error codes.

diskload.elf is hardcoded to PP.HDL.TEST. So if you install game with name TEST you can lauch it by launching diskload.elf.

 

I'm trying your file AKuHAK but I'm having trouble on the Windows side (never used HDL Dump before), when I boot the elf on my PSX it says that the ip is 192.168.0.16. Could you write me the command-line that I'm supposed to use with hdl_dump.exe to try to transfer an iso to the PSX?

 

It doesn't use LIBSD, but only checks for its existence. But if it does load and use LIBSD, I think that it doesn't really matter which one you use as both PLIBSD and TLIBSD will most likely be newer than the LIBSD module from retail boot ROMs.

If you find multiple "rom0:LIBSD" strings, perhaps it does use LIBSD after all. I don't really remember because it's been quite a long time since I tried to get HDLoader running on my SCPH-10000.

OPL v0.9.2 should support the PSX. As for uLaunchELF, you have to compile a new copy on your own because the author has not been around for quite a while.

 

before you can load any game we have to check why this program doesn't work. It takes ip information from mc0:/SYS-CONF/IPCONFIG.DAT. If you can ping desr then you can try command that I wrote (hdl_dump.exe toc 192.168.0.10) and change it into your desr ip. only after error recognition I can fix it.

As for uLe. uLe_wip6 doesn't work?

 

OK, I tried your command line on my PSX AKuHAK, it says: "APA Partition is broken; aborting."

Also, sorry to ask another stupid question, but hdl_dump always closes immediately after being opened, it stays open just enough time for me to read one word at a time... If I have to try the program again and the error message is longer I'll need to keep it open, how do I do that?

Edit: Never mind, by using my Windows XP Virtual Machine the command window stays open (I have W8.1), just leaving this message in case someone has the same problem than me.
