ProDG PS2 Dev Software

So I just purchased 2 Playstation 2 Tool dev kits but unfortunately I do not have ProDG for the PS2. Does anyone know where I can download or purchase a copy? Thanks!

 

I have sent you a pm mate.

 

Please could I get some help too, I have a working copy but I have a registration issue.
Thanks - Josh

 

Whoa, way to bump a thread.

 

ig not many ask about this anymore lol

 

Anyways, what's the registration issue you're having?

 

Okay, so I have the PS2 ProDG, How do I register the debugger. I used the keygen but I got some txt files from it. what do I do now?

 

Hello,

I wrote a quick guide on how to access the rest of tools. Do be aware if your tool kit changes it's mac address you must repeat the following steps.

01) Open up the command prompt type in ipconfig /all.
02) Copy your current ethernet adapter local area connections in use physical address.
03) Ping your tool kit's IP Address.
04) See if they are the same physical address if not use the tool kit's instead.
05) Go into your ProDG installed folder.
06) Copy the bundled crack file (PRODG3.01.PPF) into the ProDG installation folder.
07) Copy the bundled keygen program into the license folder.
08) Open up the SNSYS License Manager.
09) Type in your mac address you obtained from earlier.
10) Generate the SNL0000.TXT file.
11) Copy it to the ProDG folder.
12) Finally open up PS2DBG and see if everything checks out.

I had to go from memory it took a little bit for me to figure out. But I eventually got it to work. It is very handy up there with code warrior. Have fun!

 

Thanks for such a quick responce. I don't have the license manager but I do have a program in the licensed folder called SNRegister and It asks for:
Name
User ID
Company
Email
What should I do?

 

You are welcome. For awhile now I've set aside writing a tutorial because I didn't see anybody asking about how to register their product. You were the first person in a long time wondering how to active their copy. So now that this is out in the open hopefully whomever has the same issue can view this topic for future reference. For the time being I suggest to use the keygen instead of the SNRegister.exe bundled with the software. I say this because seeing as how outdated ProDG is I'm positive you're no longer able to register with their service them anymore.

You can go ahead and grab the keygen from this topic: https://assemblergames.com/threads/prodg-for-playstation2-release.58095/
Don't worry I made sure to check the link to see if it is still active and it is.

 

Ah, it's working now. Thank you very much. I attempted to use the "live" refresh toggle and the unit seems to crash after about 5 - 10 minutes with the IOP still responsive. I'm not sure why. I do believe it is just the game being notoriously buggy, "Barnyard"

 

Did you get the Visual Studio integration to work? How?

 

Hello, Joshuawthomson

You're welcome, I am happy to hear you got it working. It has been awhile since I last messed around with ProDG. However from what I remembered the official SDK tools provided by Sony were more or less the same. The exception being you were restricted to a linux environment. That is until Sony released newer Run Time Environments which included the window version of dsedb and etc.

So when you think you about it wasn't absolutely necessary to own this software as it was expensive back in the day.
However it was nice alternative because it helped minimized the tools the developer had to work with. Also you now
had the ability to operate your toolkit with a Graphical User Interface rather than having to use the Command Line to
execute your functions.


Hello, the7thchild

To answer your question please follow these steps below. As for everyone else you can do the same.


1) Download and install 7zip - Archive Manager

2) Next we will manually install the SDK.
2.1) Click on PlayStation 2 - Programmer Tool Runtime Library Release - 3.0
2.1.1) Navigate to the folder where the recently acquired file was downloaded to.
2.1.2) Move Sony's PS2 SDK 3.0.7z archive into C:\ <C:\ being your main OS HDD letter>
2.1.3) Navigate to C:\
2.2) Before continuing any further. If you just so happen to have a previous SDK installed.
2.2.1) Please be sure to rename it to usr.your-version. For example; usr.3.0.3
2.3.1) Right click on PS2 SDK 3.0.7z
2.3.2) Hover over 7-ZIP.
2.3.3) Click extract here.
2.4) Now we have a working SDK.

3) If Sony's SDK 3.0 does not work with VSI than you could try downloading a newer revision.
3.1) Click on PlayStation 2 - Programmer Tool Runtime Library Release - 3.0.2
3.1.1) Navigate to the folder where the recently acquired file was downloaded to.
3.1.2) Move the Sony's PS2 SDK 3.0.2-4.7z archive into C:\ <C:\ being your main OS HDD letter>

5) Acquire Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 and follow this installation guide - by Matt Wilko

6) Next we will install SN Systems - ProDG v3.01
6.1) Click on SN Systems - ProDG v3.01
6.2) Navigate to the folder where the recently acquired file was downloaded to.
6.2.1) Right click on SNSystems PRODG v3.01.7z.
6.2.2) Hover over 7-ZIP.
6.2.3) Click extract here.
6.3) Navigate into the SNSystems PRODG folder.

6.3.2) Proceed by Installing ProDG either by itself or with VSI.
6.4) If you decide to install ProDG by itself do make sure to uncheck VSI otherwise it'll retreat.

7) Next we will replace our none activated PS2dbg with a copy I manually patched.
7.1) Navigate to the SNSystems PRODG v3.01 folder we had extracted from earlier.
7.1.1) Navigate to PS2dbg.
7.1.2) Navigate to Patched.

9.3.1) In the index page search for Section 4: Building your game - Visual Studio 6.0 integration. Page 15
9.3.2) Make sure to read everything accordingly. If done correctly you should now be able to compile and test your projects.

Hopefully this will resolve any issues you may or may not have had.

 

The chapter reads like VSI was distributed as seperate installation package. However the RAR archive posted by @myroot only appears to contain the installation package for the core components (PS2DBG, PS2TM, ps2cc, ...).

 

Hello, illobrandt

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I feel foolish for not noticing that while I was formulating the tutorial.
Yes it does appear for whatever reason the ProDG myroot shared. Does not give the user the option to install VSI.
To gain an understanding as to why, I went on SN Systems website with wayback. Not only did I learn about their
past works. But I also found out that if you were a registered customer you could download or update your software.
So like you said. I am thinking they gave the licensed developer the option to include VSI or download it later on.
Just in case their workplace already had a preferred Integrated Development Environment they used on a daily basis.

Here is the link to their old website if anyone is interested;
https://web.archive.org/web/20021112004229/http://www.snsystems.com:80/PlayStation2/ProDG.htm

After searching around for sometime I managed to track down an updated version of ProDG. The one I found was released in
December of 2002. In the setup it'll give you the ability to install VSI alongside ProDG. However if you do not have Microsoft
Visual Studio uncheck the box otherwise it'll exit out of the installation.

The tutorial has been slightly modified with myroot's link being replaced with ProDG v3.01 link. So please do make sure to upgrade.

 

Does anyone know if ProDG Plus has ever been leaked?
Or even just the standalone ProView?

 

Thanks all friends:
1. ProDG 301 need to use a Omatic PPF patcher to crack the debugger exe. The key gen is for an older version (2.X)
2. Although installation is successful, it seems that 303 library is not working well with proDG 301. It prompts a lot of missing library error during compilation and linking. This problem is not yet resolved.

Hey, Logi26

Thanks for enlightening us on which ProDG had what and for listing the tools with their respective versions.
Now I see no wonder why ProDG v2.0 didn't have VSI has an option. Even though the manual mentions it.

About ProDG Plus I have not come across any copies yet. If I ever do I'll be sure to share with the community.
I'd love to get a hold of Tuner because it basically accomplishes what the T15K does just not nearly as sophisticated like aProbe is.
Regardless given how many T15K were produced versus the T10K. I'd say this was a wise decision to replicate hardware with software.


Hey, the7thchild

Thanks for notifying me about the keygen not working and for confirming that Sony's SDK 3.0.3 is missing important libraries
required by MVS. If you are still willing to give it another go. You can see if the two SDK versions I've replaced with pool7 link in
my tutorial will not complain. I'm just hoping that ProDG is not SDK dependent like Code Warrior is. Also I updated the ProDG link.
It no longer has the outdated keygen generator and I added the PS2dbg that I patched with ApplyPPF3. It is rather unfortunate that
the keygen isn't compatible. Oh well at lest the command line tools seem to be fine.

 

only patch Debugger is no help VS 6 build elf
because psld , ps2cc.... also need check License file
