Play PS2 backups without modchip or swap trick

[Zorlon]

Yes a PSX GameShark/ActionReplay will trigger the exploit fine

PS2OS is another HDD Loader it just has a nice looking gui and can be installed by copying it from a UMCDR, I got round to checking out the info about it

[Valholy]

i just got my hdloader ,everything working fine in a small hd , time to get some games

Alright, that's good. One more question, when we're saving the file on CDGenPS2, do I click IMG, or do I click Save and save it as a .ps2 file? I'm really sorry about all the questions, I'm new to this and I've already wasted 3 CDs.

[Zorlon]

Click IMG to create a CD image

[BlazeE]

Alright, I now have imagen.cue and imagen.bin, would just loading up the cuesheet with CDRWin and burning work, or do I just burn the .bin file?

I followed your instructions, but all I got is a black screen. I swap the discs using my PSX Gameshark, and it won't play the disc. I did notice something though, I looked at the disc in my CD ROM drive, and I think my CD ROM drive put the files in alphabetical order, and I can't change them back. I burned using CDRWin. I look at the CD ROM, and the files are in this order: FILES, CDVD.IRX, EXPINSTALL.ELF, SYSTEM, TITLE. Is it supposed to do be put in alphabetical order on the disc, and if not, how do I prevent it from doing this? And I did follow the order when I use CDGenPS2 to make the image.

[Zorlon]

You burn form the cue but I guess you know that now anyway

I'm not sure what has gone wrong though, the files should be in the same order that you put them in on CDGenPS2, it does that with LBA locations

[BlazeE]

Hmm... I'll try burning using Nero instead. I think I should keep it out of my CD-ROM drive after its done burning, too...

[Valholy]

that hapened to me too, it just reorder the files in alphabetical order,i didnt care so i burned it using nero and it worked

[Zorlon]

I have to ask this but in PS2MENU can that read PS2 DVD's also can it read DVD Movies

Just it only used to be able to read PS2 CD's and the PSX CD you boot with

P.S. this doesn't effect what the HDD Loader reads so I'm not asking for that reason

*curses at his ps2*
K I know my way around things. I'm not a total noob but I can't get this workin. I did all the steps making the title.db and everything, burnt the cd and didn't work.
Tried again using tekken3 and didn't work.
Tried using n00bie exploit from that site and didn't work.
Tried using independence compiler from that site and also didn't work.
(The independence compiler gets the scus/slus from the cd in your drive and adds any other little options and elfs and makes the image for you, easy so I thought I'd give it a try)

Not sure if I'm doing the swap at the wrong time and just gotta keep at it untill I get it right, but if I put the cd in without doing the swap it tells me I need to put in a Playstation or Playstation2 disc, if I do the swap trick I get this screen, so I thought I was doing it right since it doesn't tell me it's the wrong format.

Ugh, I just wanna play backup dvds! lol

[Valholy]

just do what i did,go and find someone with a moded ps2 and do what you need to do to get the exploit in your mc using that ps2,once its finished just use that same mc in your unmoded ps2

[Borman]

Im all confuseled. So I cant use a Psone gameshark that I use to swap PSone disks to install this thing? My PS2 gameshark isnt cooperating

[Valholy]

neither my ps2 gameshark, i had to use a modded ps2 to do this

[crusher]

I'm not sure Borman. I've never used any swap tricks so I dunno how it works. I installed it with a modded PS2. Zorlon might be able to help you though.
