Sugesstions/Ideas

[Double_Helix]

I had a good idea for this app. so I thought I would start a suggestion thread.

I realized that my ipod has a USB interface with my PC, It would be cool if you could use the ipod with this app as a mass storage device.

[ruffnutts]

divx player would be great

I would like to have som kind of of support or some kind of network client so myPS2 would be able to work together with some kind of standalone networking hard-disks.
Or mabe support for the The Linksys NSLU2 would be the solution of connecting hard-disk to ver 14. USB is to slow on my PS2 version 14 and ver14 doesn't seem to have a good ide-interface for hard-disk.

If I could get my networking hard-disk work on my ver 14, I suppose I could transfer files faster.

what protocol/service does the hdd run to serve the files?

[Pluttiplutt]

I have a NSLU2 - Network Storage Link for USB 2.0 Disk Drives, this one uses TCP/IP protocool:
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?childpagename=US%2FLayout&packedargs=c%3DL_Product_C2%26cid%3D1118334819312&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper

It has USB 2.0 connection for the HDD or other storage. It is very easy to use and the price around 100US$ or 800 swedish crowns. I realy belive this would work with networking HDD to a PS2 with the right protocool.


The other one are a Netdisk, XIMETA NDE10-160 netwoking hdd, no protocool, the tecnology are NDAS that are used, here you can read about it:

Operating Systems that NetDisk support:
Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP/2003 and Mac OS X 10.0 - 10.3
BETA drivers are available for: Windows Pocket CE, and Linux.

I would also like to be able to scroll by holding the directional button down rather than pushing it every time.

i think it would be nice if you could select what elfs show up in my programs instead of going and looking for them everytime. it doesnt have to be like launchelf where they are assigned to buttons. you could select which elfs you want in the settings options just like you can with the partitions.

> Run programs from host
> Transfer files from host using ps2client (pc-side) = good for transfering larger files like DivX Movies ('cause "ftp" crashes transfers offen with larger files)
> Make the possibility to "fakehost" like uLaunchELF or ps2menu = better compatibility with homebrew from hdd (an example, PS2BOR would work from hdd)
> Some programs runs slowly from myPS2 (homebrew game: Flashback)
> Adding Format/New Partition/ Deleting Partition /Resizing Partition functions
> Make possible to run Comercial/Homebrew games from CD/DVD from main menu (uLaunchELF has this function)
> Make possible to return to Sony Browser (uLaunchELF has this function)

Good Luck! Thx anyway ntba2!

I see that one can turn off the PS2 using myPS2 but there is no "restart/reboot" option. I think having that sort of option would be useful.

Hi,
I have some suggestions for soon updates:

- Capacity of manager (access, transfer, run) files from/to __boot partition and for all partitions of PS2 HDD;
- Capacity of manager (access, transfer, run) files from/to host like the uLaunchelf;
- Capacity of access (play) .mp3 from host (PC) like the SMS.

And, finished... myPS2 would be PERFECT!

Thanks, ntba2.

Now that other partitions can be recognized, I think that a partition manager would be the next step, wherein new partitions could be created, renamed, and deleted. If there is any way to increase the startup times, it would be better as a boot elf. Maybe a small elf could be placed on the MC as the boot.elf which would just load the HDD irx files and use a cnf file to find the location on the HDD of the larger myps2 elf and skins - kinda like the way it starts now, only instead of loading the irx files and then loading the skins off the MC, it would load them right from the hdd. Speaking of startup, perhaps a particular background song could be chosen to play when the program starts? I also think it would be good to have an exit to boot browser or PS2 brower option.

There seem to be issues about loading other elfs from this elf. I tried a few programs that I frequently use only to see "Load Failed" appear. Also, some kind of one button program launcher or "recently used program" list to expedite starting other programs would be very handy. While customizing the skins I stumbled across a piece of unused code in the My Programs section called "Shortcuts" and I wondered what it was originally for. I believe it would be easier to manage files if instead of marking each file and moving over to another menu, you could push another button corresponding to copy, paste, delete, and rename - OR after marking the files, a dialog box of choices could appear by pushing Start for example.

A dixv movie player, HDLoader functionality, and a cheat device (to compete with the new Toxis OS) are all possible future expansions, but I wouldn't expect such radical additions so soon. But something simpler might be a text editor to modify the .xml files right there - it can be a pain running back and forth from computer to PS2 with a pendrive.

[aznpulse]

an internet browser with keyboard and mouse device support would be nice. Or something like a MS Win OS just without a desktop. Menu navigation is good enough.

[Fnu Lnu]

Forgot to mention: For any kind of file browsing, it would be great to have tabs for each media device/partition, so you could switch between them with like R1 and L1 instead of having to click on a bunch of ".." to get all the way back to the root directories.

[ryu_joko]

is there any program that can playing vcd?
maybe this features will be add on myps2 next release?

[graves138]

i would like to be able to boot myps2 directly as my boot.elf, also i'd like for the mp3 player to play all my music files instead of just one at a time, like put all my mp3 files in one folder and just play them one after another til it's done. That would make it even better than it is now.

I just set it as the default ELF in LaunchELF and set the timeout to 5secs. since most of the time I am doing 7 other things it boots right to MyPS2 without me noticing.

You can go into My Programs and go to mc0: BxDATA-SYSTEM/BOOT.ELF
When I go to run Launchelf, it freezes, but KL seems to work fine, then I go to Launchelf thru KL.

Ive just tried the new LaunchELF release, version 3.41t. This didnt freeze for me like the previous versions. Dont know if has got something to do with the IOP reset thing. I aint got a clue about that tho. All I know is that the new one works for me.

[hip203]

Ogg audio support maybe....
