Booting a backup Utility Disk (15000/10000)

[charlie_ps2]

Some of us still have Utility Disks that work. You need that if ever you've screwed up your memory card and need to re-install the DVD drivers that live on the memory card.

So, make that backup copy now with CloneCD (or Nero or CDRWin) and save it for when you are in the sh*t.

Chip your PS2 with an Origachip (then you can boot the Utility Disk Backup behind DVD Region X or AR2) or with the upcoming Messiah-J when, subject to test, you can direct boot the backup.

But make that copy while you can!

Can I just ask, me being dumb and u being cleverer an all, utility discs only came with asian and jap consoles... yes?

[charlie_ps2]

Yes.

[2 Tru CReW]

Sorry for keep asking questions but.... why? :D
Why do they and we dont *we as in the people that didnt*

[Sniper]

The people who own the Utility disc like me or other peoples who have the Jap PS2 need it. The disc is there incase anything happen to our memeory card or we accidently erase the DVD file in the memory card which allow us to watch DVD. For you guys who have the PAL or US system, your DVD software is already program inside your system. So if we erase the DVD software in our memory card and the disc is mess up then we are screw.

i have an Asian Region 3 Multisystem supported ps2, and i cant play NE dvds! cuz theres no update code for dvdx! so i need drivers! ne1 can upload?

[charlie_ps2]

If you buy JAP DVD Region X and hve the memory card in (where the drivers should be) all should work woth Origa or Nova.

[fooniman]

1. drivers aint on mem card
2. i dun have a jap dvdx!

[Sniper]

What are you looking for?? The DVD driver that is on the utility disc?

[fooniman]

yup

[Sniper]

I can upload the utility disk (by cue and bin), but I do not know how to upload the DVD driver from the memory card since I do not have the device to transfer memory save to PC.

[fooniman]

ummm the driver is in the utility disc....
so all i need is that...
could u upload it, and gimme the ftp details in PM??

[Sniper]

This is kind of wierd, I have Winrar the bin and cue of the Utility Disc and it came out to around 100mb but when I unrar it is around 750mb do you think this is corrupted? I have check it out with the test button and no error came up.

By the way fooniman can you please PM me a screenname on AOL IM or MSN IM since I do not have a FTP web site.

[charlie_ps2]

A 7:1 comression ratio - isn't that what WinRAR is supposed to do?

[fooniman]

ok dude its not corrupted
in september when i get cable + get back home i'll trade on irc
mmkay?
btw is it dvd driver 1.00 or 1.01???

[Sniper]

The DVD driver is v1.00

[fooniman]

damn
ok, even thou i got an AUS dvd mem card update, i'm gonna need a region 2 update for my "New" Memory card :D lol so i need that backed up!

[Sniper]

so when do you want it? I can upload the disc anytime.

[fooniman]

hmmm during september i guess cuz thats when i'll be back home!!

How big is the image ?

Because my copy wont boot, I think I might have to dl it again, so if you have another dl link, I'd be really grateful :)

[Sniper]

The image it self is around 700+mb but when I winrar it, it came to around 100mb. By the way I don't have no site to upload it too.. The only way I can transfer this is by AOL AIM or MSM IM since I do not know how to set up a FTP server, but I'm going to try to set it up for a brief moment since my ISP does not like running server.

[alanisfan]

Ahhh, maybe thats the problem

The Image I have is about 32 MB when de-compressed. That's probably the source of my error, unless the actual disc contains a dummy file which has been deleted on this backup version.

I would like to get hold of a copy for the DVD drivers though
