Playstation 2 SCPH-10000 used, worth the hassle?

l_oliveira, do debug PS2 suffer from the laser coil thing? Obviously these are made to play recordable media so I think it'd be pretty stupid to include it..

The 10000 does not have LIBSD (Sound Device Library) module on the rom. PGen would work as long you put libsd.irx from a game on the ISO. It's not one of the homebrewn that have issues with the old PS2 kernel.

Things that had issues:

ESR, COGSWAP, HDLOADER, USBLOADER, certain uLE versions, some NA games... Basically stuff that reboots the EE and IOP multiple times to change the memory layout. :thumbsup:

Now a little background on that:

Because I asked SJEEP to make PGEN work on my 10k back in 2002 or 2003 he added a small bit of code that makes PGEN look for libsd.irx on the same folder the pgen elf is in case it can't find it at ROM0:LIBSD. :thumbsup:

And as a piece of trivia, he developed most of the original code for the HDD stuff on the PS2 SDK.

That probably gave him the feeling that he could grab the work of the other PS2 devs and make an commercial product out of it (that being HD Loader, of course...) also he codded the PSF driver in a way it would not open password locked SONY stuff even thought NOP'ing out a small compare branch on the code could make it read everything.

Then the custom PSF driver he used on TOXIC OS could open anything... How nice of him huh ?:lol:

Before HD Loader happened he was pretty popular on the PS2 dev scene.

And that's the history of what I saw back then and what I discovered later.:lol:

Sorry to bump this up, but I extracted the LIBSD.IRX from Ape Escape 2 and placed it in the same folder as the PGen ELF (on my memory card), but it still freezes on the "LOADING" screen on my SCPH-10000. Would you have any idea what the problem would be?
