PS2 AutoClient

[andyxxxx]

Hi, i have created a little program in Visual Basic which runs in the background (in the system tray) of the computer which you are using as the server for SMS, and only opens the Rad Host client when the ps2 is connected to the network.

I created it because if i just left the Rad Host Client running, when i turned my ps2 off and turned it back on again, the client needed to be restarted before the ps could connect again (unless i used the exit SMS feature), this way the client automatically starts when the ps2 is turned on and connected to the network - very handy seen as though my PS2 is in a different room to my PC and it would be a problem having to go to the other room to restart the client each time i wanted to use SMS over the network - the client is then closed when the ps2 is no longer connected!

If anyone else has the same problem i'd be more than happy to post a link here to download my program.

Hmm, very interesting. Can you post the link so that we can test it out?

yes id be intersted to have a look at this aswell andyxxxx,

does it also restart the server if sms has a problem and hangs as at the moment if i play certain avi files that are known to crash sms radhostclient just hangs.

A the moment it only restarts the server when the connection is completely lost, because the network connection is still active whilst it is crashed,

but if it crashes and you restart the ps2 (I dont think there is anything else you can do??), then the client will be restarted, and connection will be restored when SMS loads again.

Sooo, if i understand you correctly and you mean if SMS crashes and you restart the PS2, will it restart the client?... Yes, it will!!!

This must be the quickest re-release ever, but i've amended it slightly.

The 1st version cheked connectivity every 0.1 second, which sometimes caused one cycle to start before the previous one ended and so the client closed, so it now checks every 10 seconds.

also the 1st version closed the client immediately after the connection was thiught to be lost, now if the connection is suspected to be lost, the program waits 10 seconds then checks again before closing it! - helps stop the client closing just when the network is simplly too busy to return the ping from the ps2.

Where can i found v1.7, mine is v1.5.

So for the moment when i start sms with autostart network on, your progy launch RHC ( good ), but after 5 sec it launch an other RHC, and SMS freeze.
