When i get it sorted out I'lll be fully prepared to release a new version of the megapack.

I discovered, that the BM wont delete the directories when uninstalling an app and found a small bug in your megapack-scipts which causes the prob:
RMDIR "$SRC_PATH$/MCMGR" cant work because the SRC_PATH is the folder with the app in it and the one you want to delete.
Changed it to RMDIR "$ARG2$/MCMGR" and now it works. RMDIR "$SRC_PATH$" should work too, but I did not test it.
Would be nice if you could fix this with your upcoming new megapack.

@LuNaTiC:
You can install uLaunchELF via BM and use it to transfer myPS2 and all the subfolders from usb or cd to your MC (BOOT/APPS/MYPS2). Copy the APPINFO.PBT attached here to the MYPS2-folder. Then you can run myPS2 from BM. Only for install and uninstall you have to use uLaunchELF.

Doing the install without the folders would just cripple many features in myps2. Here is my install script. If you want please test it out and get back to me. I ran out of CD-R to test with.

Please read my post again.
I said: use uLaunchELF to transfer myPS2 and all subfolders to MC!
And: for install and uninstall you have to use uLaunchELF
The attached APPINFO.PBT only provides the run-infos for BM.

Or did you want to quote anarchy2007? His suggestion was to only use the elf.

Nice scipt. It looks good and must have been quite a bit of typing-work.

Sadly I cant test it now (see signature), but hopefully friday.

Keep up the good work! I really like your megapacks and you're the one and only Crystal-contact in the whole wide world.

Best regards: Jones23

Ok, well I got myPS2 installed, now running it is a different story. It starts to load but stops at "Loading GUI String Table" and says "Failed". So either there is a file(s) missing, or there's a bug in the program when running with BM.

Any ideas guys?

**Jones23** · 04-12-2006,06:55 AM

@ LuNaTiC:

Search the Official MyPS2 Forum. There are lots of posts about this "Loading GUI String Table failed" issue.
EDIT: And this post should help.

Ok, a big thanks to all you guys that helped me. I now have myPS2 working from BM!

Now I'm experimenting with different methods of booting programs and such with both BM and myPS2. My goal is to have all my PS2 programs installed on my HDD, but yet have them selectable and able to be run from the BM application menu. I only want myPS2 to be the only thing installed on my MC to save space for game saves. So, now it's back to the .PBT scripts and finding a way that BM can access the HDD and load the selected application that's already been installed there.

It'd be nice if the Crystal Team allowed for installing/running apps from the HDD. Maybe in a future release.

Yes this would be a great feature, in addition to being able to copy/paste/make dir .....this way installing apps would be even easier.

EDIT: Oh yeah and being able to flash upgrade the chip from a network (ps2link) would be great as well.

well this is where BM is having problems atm. The last two read sources were hardcoded. Even if you were to load the hdd drivers then you have the obstacle of trying to get bm to recognize it as a source directory. For now its not able to do so.

This is already possible.

Notes on upgrading:

Step 1: Insert the Upgrade Disc into your PS2 and let it start up.
Step 2: Choose "Install Firmware" and wait for it to complete.
Step 3: If you wish to use BootManager(highly suggested!), make sure you have a memory card inserted in Slot 1
and choose "Install BootManager" then wait for it to complete.
Step 4: Reboot your PS2, you're all done!

Notes on upgrading from host(naplink/ps2link/etc):

After running the "makeit.bat" file, you can simply run "BOOT.ELF"(inside the "BOOT" directory) with naplink/ps2link
and follow the steps outlined above.

Just start ps2link, run the BOOT.ELF, and you get the same menu as you do when installing by CD-R.
