Playstation 2 Network Access Disc (Beta-Version)

Does anyone knows anything about this disc???
Never saw it before,maybe its a rare one?
Filesize is around 350mb,my other disc was around 3GB
any infos would be nice

 

Could you make a dump of it? Test it with your PlayStation account. I can take it from your hands and it would make good use for me as I own a dev kit!

 

oh i still own a ps2 test too
if i run the disc it tells me this disc is for beta testing only...

 

Could you please be more specific? Does the disc let you sign into PSN or some other service?

 

If you decide to upload an image, I would like to try this out on my debuggingstation. Its an early PCMCIA model and Ive never been able to get it configured for online, if even possible.

There was no PSN for PS2, Even when PS3 came out, PSN came out later and was implemented into PS3 with an update. With a PS2, you simply use a network disc to create a network configuration file on a memory card. Online games then use this file to connect to the internet.

 

There was (and still is) the PSBBN, which was the predecessor to the PSN.

 

its needless to run the disc without a network adaptor.if you got one you can run the disc setup wich looks totally different to the normal network disc

 

I think one of these beta discs in Europe still had hdd.irx atad.irx and pfs.irx on it, which shows they atleast tinkerd with the hdd in Europe I guess. i'm pretty sure the hdd was disabled, but internally maybe they had a build with hdd support.

 

yup,you are right,these files are still on the disc,so maybe i need a ps2 hdd then??

 

i'm not sure, but you could dump it, and i could try it at home on my ps2+sony hdd.

 

i dont think a ps2 hadd will change anything
