SMS User Manual!!

[BigMichiel]

The manual isn't updated in a while now

[dave_t]

Sorry guys for not updating the manual in a while, I've been moving house, then my computer broke down completely. Also been spending a bit more time with my wife. Got a new one now (computer that is), so lets get that manual up to date!

Remember that the manual is in SVN in the same place as the SMS source code itself, so anyone is welcome to submit patches for updates to the manual. If you aren't up to helping the development of the C source code itself, then the manual & website are great ways you can contribute if you want to help SMS. Full instructions on how to do it are all in SVN (see the docs directory).

For now, here's what I plan to do, mostly based on the questions that have been asked in the forum most recently, each '*' links to related posts.

Now:
Details on how to manually change the subtitle file.
More details (or links to) how to install BOOT.ELF.**
Update information about USBD.IRX *
Add CD 'iso' image tutorial from here: http://sms.psx-scene.com/eng/cdimage.htm
Add details of which type of DVD+-RW CDR/W are supported...
Update user interface instructions with new features (1.7+).

In the future:
Add detailed instructions on how to make your own fonts.**
Add a codec compatibility list *
Add info about multiple PS2 support for radhost client.*
Add a FAQ or troubleshooter for choppy video playback *.
Add instructions for how to use swapmagic *
Add new launch method instruction, bootable DVD (mochip only) *
Add FAQ for reducing audio noise. *

If anyone has more to add, please post them now!

No one is angry at you

"Also been spending a bit more time with my wife. Got a new one now......" Looks great. If you haven't put a "computer that is" behind it :P

But nice to see that your still with us

I think the above post is a feature request, if one of the admins wants to move it. Dave

Can someone put the subtitle creation post from turkish to english so we can understand?

I know you guys have put a lot of work into this and all I can say is 'total respect' but...........

Read through this and it seams to go way over my head, can I put sms onto my memory card using any other meathod than conecting it to my computer using a network adapter?

I have the slim line and have a router but have no idea how to connect the PS2 up to my home network, I have no sony network disc.

Why cant I put the sms file onto dvd-r and load it onto the memory card, my slimline is chipped with a matrix infinity.

Sry if I've posted on the wrong part of the forum or if this question has been answered before. All I want to be able to do is put 6 avi films onto a dvd-r and watch them on the PS2.

If your ps2 is chipped, just download the image from the official site. When you boot the cd, uLaunchElf will be loaded and you are able to copy the SMS.ELF to the memorycard.

This part is for the Matrix Infinity chip only (don't know about other modchips)

If you place your SMS.ELF in a directory "BOOT" on your 1st memorycard and rename it to BOOT.ELF you will be able to boot SMS directly when you turn your ps2 on.

Just press and hold the R1 button on your first gamepad when you boot your ps2 and it loads SMS directly instead of the PS2 browers. Not a disc needed!
