I had hanging with some versions of USBD.IRX in mc0:/SMS
Once I found the version from GT3 to work, SMS launches fine. Sounds like you have a different problem though, considering how EEUG replied to your first post.

I start sms from the memory card and hang happens when there is no disk into the playstation.

After several testing ,i burn the sms.elf on the CDR and run ,no problem at alll.However ,if run from MC using ulanchelf 3.41n ,then hang again.

I have the same problem, it says "Initializing File context" and its stuck. Could not even reset the PS2. Had to power off the switch from behind.
Is there a solution? I'm also using ulanchelf 3.41n but I'm running it from the CD, not the MC. And I do not have usbd.irx in the MC as well.

I've tested in my v10 and no prob, from MC/HDD without a disk in tray...
Take a look in the option disk control in Ulaunchelf, I know that if turned off solves the problem for v9 and over...don't know for lower versions, also remove USBD.IRX you may have in locations showed in SMS readme:
"...
USBD.IRX is not included (licensing issues). SMS looks for it in:
- host:USBD.IRX
- mc0:/BOOT/USBD.IRX
- mc0:/PS2OSCFG/USBD.IRX
- mc0:/SYS-CONF/USBD.IRX
- mc0:/PS2MP3/USBD.IRX
- mc0:/BOOT/PS2MP3/USBD.IRX
- mc0:/SMS/USBD.IRX
*** in aforementioned order ***;
..."

mine is either v7 or v8. still no luck. disk control turned off but still hang.
I found no USBD.IRX in any directory. Where can I get the readme for the sms?

**jacky401** · 11-09-2005,10:48 AM

I also hang still even turn off disc control

BUT ,before u run the SMS.elf run MC ,eject the disc inside the tray then stary the SMS.elf ,everything should be fine!!!

**wast8** · 11-09-2005,11:01 AM

Sigh, I copied the sms.elf to mc0:/SMS/
ejected the disc and then only start SMS.elf.....still the same....just hang there. Could it be I got a buggy version of the sms.elf?
