How to copy movies from CDFS: (ISO/CD/DVD) to HDD using uLaunchelf:

I assume you know how to assign buttons to ELFs, so assign one to FileBrowser (I did it with R3, press analog Right). In this SubApp you will have some devices FS, select cdfs: and will show CD/DVD contents, press R1 and a menu will appear, copy desired file and browse up with Traingle, then select hdd0: (a few partitions will appear) select the partition you want to copy the movie (or any file to) press R1 again and choose PASTE this time. In 6-7 minutes you will have the 700Mb movie in HDD. Enjoy!
Note: do not abuse of this method, cause it contribute to stress your Laser lens, Use at your own risk!

You can find last uLaunchelf version here:

How to copy movies from HOST: to HDD using uLaunchelf:
To use this feature you need a PC with a NIC and PS2 Network Adapter, If you want to connect them directly, you will need a crossover UTP cable.
1-Exec uLaunchelf and select FileBrowser and in the menu select HOST: wait about 10-12 seconds and ".." will appear.
2-In PC exec from CMD: "ps2client.exe -h 192.168.0.10 listen" and will work for all files&folders that you have in ps2client directory
3-Refresh PS2 screen pressing Triangle and then enter to HOST: again (maybe you need to repeat this process) until files&folders appear
4-To copy files do it in the same way as above (Copy from cdfs: to HDD)
This method is faster than FTP, you can copy a 700Mb movie in about 18-20 minutes. Until now is the FASTEST method
PS2client & CDexplorer are attached here as Utils.rar

How to make a PS2 bootable CD with SMS and Movie?

Here is attached a buildCD.rar file that contains CDgenPS2 and SYSTEM.CNF.
That tool is for making PS2 CD images bin/cue, that can be recorded later using any softaware like NERO[snip]
Then put in any folder SYSTEM.CNF / SMS.ELF / MOVIE(S), open CDgenPS2 and using explorer drag'n drop all this files and click in IMG icon and save image the record the CD and enjoy!

Putting system.cnf and sms.elf into a directory doesn't seem a good idea to me.
Also setting LBA 12231 to the system.cnf is absolutely necessary, else the CD won't work at all.

Kind Regards, pepe

Believe it has to look something like this:

[HypERSoniC]

Reccomded CD Configuration for use in Nero/other burning programs
Mode2/XA
ISO Level 2 + Joliet
SYSTEM.CNF pointing to cdrom0:\SMS.ELF
SYSTEM.CNF should have a LBA of 12231 if you are booting with swap magic.
Make sure the ELF and the CNF file are all uppercase.

You can then add movies to this CD.

can you make a bootable dvd using sms?

Also setting LBA 12231 to the system.cnf is absolutely necessary, else the CD won't work at all.

sorry ifthis aresilly question, im really newbie here

[HypERSoniC]

you only need it if you are using swap magic.

right click the file in CDVDGEN_PS2 and click set LBA. (i think, havnt used that program in a while)

hi Mr Worm, I was trying your method to copy movies from HOST: to HDD using uLaunchelf. When I select select hdd0:, I only see 3 partition.They are _boot, HDLoader and PGEN1.1.
why can't I create a new directory under the hdd0:?
When I move the cursor to _boot, it says I have 500mb left. On the other 2 folders, it says I only have 127mb.
If I boot into HDloader, it says I have 30GB left. Is this all happening because I fully formatted my HDD using the HDloader. Is there a method to format the HDD with 1/2 HDloader and 1/2 fat32?

[Mr. Worm~~]

IC, you need a tool D M S Format (don't know if I can post it here, afraid to be banned) so take a look at www.d m s 3.com site or use google...then create a partition and give to it the size you like x*128megs, then you will have a new dir to copy movies, and will appear as +Something in browser

thanks. I got it and its working now. Yeah!
